Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Oh, he deleted it? Good for him! He sure is lucky that when you delete something on the Internet, it deletes all copies of it. It would suck if he deleted it, only for the Internet to remember and keep bringing it up, like a bad penny. Wouldn't it?
He was the lieutenant governor until this past February, I met him last spring at the University i work at for an event and he was just the slimist and most insincere person I ever remember meeting.
The office of Ohio Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted has deleted a social media post after being asked about the message it sent. The post on X claimed that President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a “pro-family” bill” for “working class families.”
The law will take health insurance and food support away from thousands of low-income, working Ohioans. The post touting it pictured Husted laughing it up with two men who appear to be prominent special-interest lobbyists.
Husted’s office hasn’t responded to a request for comment.
No words for this.
