The just arrested Speaker of the Ohio State House

[Liar]

is named Householder.

Are y'all sure we're not living in a simulation? Cause that sounds like a glitch.

Also arrested were Householder adviser Jeffrey Longstreth, longtime Statehouse lobbyist Neil Clark, former Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matthew Borges and Juan Cespedes, co-founder of The Oxley Group, a Columbus-based consulting firm.

Previous attempts to bail out the nuclear plants had stalled in the Legislature before Householder became speaker. Months after taking over, he rolled out a new plan to subsidize the plants and eliminate renewable energy incentives. The proposal was approved a year ago despite opposition from many business leaders and the manufacturing industry.

Generation Now, a group that investigators said was controlled by Householder and successfully fought an effort to put a repeal of the bailout law on Ohio’s ballot, was charged as a corporation in the case.

A criminal complaint filed by the FBI says Generation Now received $60 million from an unidentified company over the past three years. In exchange, Householder and the other defendants worked to pass the nuclear plant bailout and block attempts to overturn it.

Householder flew to President Donald Trump’s inauguration on the company’s plane in 2016. Just months later, Householder began receiving quarterly payments of $250,000 from the unidentified company sent through Generation Now, the complaint said.

No glitch! Our previous House Speaker also had to resign due to a corruption investigation. This is a feature of Ohio politics rather than a bug.

I predict this will have no election ramifications at all; the current General Assembly is openly bought and very well gerrymandered. There's no more than a few that will ever have to worry about a challenge from the opposing party.

The dead are piling up from a virus that Federal leadership denies and does nothing about, the impeached president continues to demonstrate a disrespect for the office and ethics by shilling a campaign contributor’s kidney beans, the economy is crumbling, the nation is divisive, uncertain, and arguing bias, the borders are closed and the world considers America little more than a leper colony, all while jack-booted thugs follow an authoritarian dictator’s orders and ‘handle’ citizens with little regard for their rights or well-being.

No simulation. No glitch in the Matrix.

To give you an idea of what politics are like in Ohio right now, apparently counsel for former House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger planned to be at this Larry Householder court hearing because he was confused about which Speaker had been arrested.

Shit like that is the only reason I pay any attention at all to politics. Sometimes the entertainment factor is off the charts.

Was it Illinois that had back to back governors go to prison? I know they had Blago but seems like the guy before went too.

Sort like both states that I've lived in have had Governors thrown out for scandals. West Virginia had two Governors go to prison: W.W. Barron (Democrat) and Arch Moore (Republican and father of Senator Shelly Moore Capito). Arizona had Evan Mecham, who was impeached for campaign finance violations, and Fife Symington, who was convicted by a federal jury for defrauding a pension fund to get a loan for his real-estate development/hotel venture capital.

To be fair, Mecham and his brother were later acquitted of criminal charges. Symington had his conviction overturned, and then was pardoned by President Bill Clinton on his last day in office (due to having saved Clinton's life from drowning years back..you can't make this stuff up). Incidentally, both Governors were replaced by women: the Secretaries of State at the time of their removal from office.

That balances out all the Democrats they nailed in Illinois the other day.

Illinois has made corruption a very bipartisan exercise. Half of the Governors lately there have ended up in prison.

If the they are criminals I don't care what party they come from. Throw the key away.

This was a slightly bemused observation about a guy with a weirdly appropriate name.
