GOP Lawmakers In Ohio Try to Impeach DeWine
December 1, 2020 at 8:03 am EST By Taegan Goddard


“While trying to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) has faced throngs of armed protesters at the statehouse and crowds outside his own home. Now, he is now facing efforts from within his own party to push him out of office entirely,” the Washington Post reports.

“A group of four Republican state lawmakers filed a dozen articles of impeachment against DeWine on Monday, saying the governor violated state and federal laws by requiring face masks in public and ordering some businesses to close.”

Rep Gov: yes, it's a pain in the ass, but I'm trying to keep you alive.
Rep Base: That's communism; impeach him.

(On Edit)--This isnt gonna stop, and 2024 candidate are watching. Unless we indict and imprison some of these criminals, the fever wont break. The elected GOP must be made aware that courting these people is a dead end, or they WILL keep feeding the monster, thinking that they're the one that can control it.

dominates of the current GOP?

I can see a break off. MAGA branching away and towards shithole, the person that everything he touches dies. At this point in time, money is the key reason for this. shithole will keep up the hatred, racists, fake patriotism, and violence all for that mean green.

Meanwhile, even MAGA's are dying and suffering from COVID-19 which they think it is a hoax and a common flu/cold. Even MAGA's are being effected by the recession, but look at the stock market believing all is well in the economy.

Meanwhile it is more important that senate republicans rush through unqualified RWers into judicial positions. republicans still given favoritism towards the wealthy and ignoring the people in need.

republicans living by the teachings of Jesus Christ and God? No.

Ohio state government has been in tight control by the Republicans for some time. The state General Assembly has 24 of 33 senators Repukican, and the House 61 Repukes to 38 Democrats. The last Speaker of the House should be going to prison for corruption with an electrical utility, he resigned the speakership, but kept his seat. A couple of years back another speaker was caught in corruption by the FBI, previous two term governor Taft pleaded guilty in court while in office. The Repukes have had a long strangle hold on everything.

There has been noise that Gym Jacket off Jordan wants to be governor, and crooked businessman Renacci (former Congressman, and failed senatorial candidate is interested. There is a divide with very partisan Repukes, and batshit crazy ultra partisan Repukes.

I thought DeWine did well at the start until he started to cave to the Republicans and MAGAts.

Ohio has been gerrymandered to death on the state and federal level.
