This is the post cards they are sending to homes in Ohio

This crap is from One Nation a conservative group from Australia.

Tried to post pic but this is what is on it,
Countless lives were lost during the COVID-19 pandemic….
But hundreds of millions in critical relief were wasted on projects unrelated to the coronavirus.

Besides the lies. This actually shows what really matters to republicans. They don’t care about the people that died. They actually are responsible for most of the deaths. But, the thing that matters most to them is money.

They list projects, but the funding was made available to states, local, and tribal governments, with little restrictions on how they put it to use. So, No, Senator Brown didn’t vote for those projects. The Broward County project for waterfront hotel and spa owned by the county ran by private contractors. Some of the board members were appointed by De Santis. From what I have researched the other projects that they are complaining about are republican.

This needs to be addressed and the republicans need to be called out. The mailbox is full of this trash. I have yet to receive one card that is pro Brown.

Most people will not check what is on those cards. When Googled the articles are all Fox News reinforcing what is on the card. That is another matter altogether though. Google showing things not by relevence but by who pays the most. But further down the articles tell a different story about how the state and local governments were the ones to decide.

The Oxycontins that caused the addiction crisis. But at least they didn’t kill like the fentanyl. I know the city I lived in the man who had the drug stores is a republican and he added several other stores because they were only allowed so many pills per store. But the biggest problem was Afghanistan war by W. The premise was terrorist but, it really was all about the opioids. Terry Johnson’s bill that DeWine signed stopped the pain clinics per request of Southern Ohio Medical Center / Ohio Health they was not getting their cut of the money. They are all republicans. That was when the fentanyl came in and caused deaths. The tri state area was the test market for oxycontins which they knew were more additive. But at the same time there is no way to prove or disprove pain. So the majority of the people probably did need to have pain management. There is always going to be some people who will abuse medications. So as far as I am concerned Johnson and DeWine have contributed greatly in those deaths.

I’m surprised that they didn’t put the $500 million to rehabilitate Athens for tourism. It dwarfs the amounts listed on the card. It was supposed to be for the 32 counties in Appalachia including Athens. (Just Dumb Vance isn’t from any of them.) But they listed other states use which I guess makes it sound like Brown voted for projects in other states and not his own.
$8 million was just to set up tech support. Sounds like racketeering to me. But that is not Brown or Biden’s fault. Like mentioned earlier almost all are republican. The old it’s your fault you didn’t keep me from stealing. In the case of republicans that can be from money to elections.

Maybe we should get Osama Bin Laden to send post-cards endorsing the Republican ticket---

after all, the magats never wanted to admit that Obama got Osama!

Was still around but obviously they are. Fittingly their party colour is orange.

Pauline Hanson was elected to the lower house back in the 90s, representing a rural electorate in SE Queensland. She was a train crash from the beginning. Hanson became famous for her racist maiden parliamentary speech. When a journalist asked if she was xenophobic her bewildered reply was, "Please explain". She didn't know what it meant.

We Aussies have had a lot of mileage out of that comment.

Yep that's the name. From what you have said sounds like she would fit right in with MTG.
