Matt:  "That's what I love about these high school girls' statute of limitations.  I get older, they stay the same number of years."
 

Attorney:  "Yeah, Congressman.  That's not how statute of limitations work.  That's not even how time works."

Har har. Never heard of him or that pizza. Can you show me a pic of a Texas ketchup sandwich? Because I learned from this community that that’s an actual thing.

The best pizza in Columbus is Tommy’s Pizza. They’ve been around since the 50’s. They have three stores, one at the corner of Lane and Neil, walking distance from Ohio Stadium. If in the expanded playoff the Longhorns ever have an opportunity to A) actually make the playoff and B) play in Columbus in December then you are cordially disinvited to visit our State. But that probably won’t be an issue anytime soon.

Well this is strange:

A man in a blue suit speaks into a microphone in front of a pink Free Britney backdrop

Quote

Rep. Matt Gaetz thinks Jamie Spears is a grifter and, in his blunt words, “a dick.”

The Florida Republican said so outside Britney Spears’ conservatorship hearing Wednesday in downtown Los Angeles, continuing a guardianship-reform push he and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) started in March.

Gaetz took the microphone at a #FreeBritney rally that congregated near the Stanley Mosk Courthouse while lawyers and others involved with Spears’ 13-year-old conservatorship appeared virtually in front of Judge Brenda J. Penny.

At issue were a number of petitions that arose after Spears’ lightning-rod testimony last month, as well as the 39-year-old singer’s request that she be allowed to select and hire her own personal attorney.

“Every time there’s a hearing in this case that does not result in freedom for Britney Spears and the dissolution of this guardianship, it is a black eye on the American justice system,” Gaetz said, earning loud cheers from the assembled protesters.

“There were grifters in this process that tried to act like they spoke for Britney, that they knew what she wanted. Well, now the whole world knows what Britney Spears wants, and it is the freedom and the liberty that should be offered to every single American.”

Quote

Meanwhile, Gaetz is under investigation for allegations of sex trafficking and having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. Amid the sprawling federal probe, former Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg pleaded guilty to sex-trafficking charges in May.

Those controversies weren’t lost on some #FreeBritney advocates, who wondered aloud on Twitter if Gaetz’s support was welcome and helpful to their cause.

“Pathetic way to try to redeem yourself, riding on the coattails of Britney’s problems being played out in public,” one user replied to Gaetz’s tweet captioned, “Thank you to the #FreeBritney Army! I will always fight alongside you for a more just America.”

“We don’t want you near us,” wrote another commenter.

What a shitty town you have.  It was glorious to be present for a buckeye beat down in the shoe.

Good, gives us plenty of time to get on the waitlist for a bulk order from the famous Tommy's Pizza where the pies and residents all have a 24th chromosome.

WHAT is with the Ohio hate? I've never been there, but it can't be ALL bad. Doris day was from there. And Simone Biles and countless other great athletes. And Grant is no slouch either when it comes to military accolades. Every state has its good and bad, even Texas--looking at you there Louie Gohmert.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with Ohio State and it's awful shitty fans. The experience many Longhorn fans had in 2005 definitely affected perceptions of the state as a whole, right or wrong.

While Ohio completely sucks (i lived there and went to Ohio University for a couple years)  they're still not as bad as Wisconsin,  the home of the tundra inbred hillbillies.  But it's pretty close.

Biles was raised by her grandparents since 3 years old in Spring TX. They don’t get credit for that.
 

You know all the losers in your hometown that didn’t do much after high school? Now imagine they make up an entire state and it’s called Ohio. brain drain is real.


r/funny - 24 astronauts were born in Ohio.

My only problem is with their athletes apparently being forced without fail to refer to their school as "THE Ohio State University".  Just seems a little pretentious.

That's your only problem?  Man, you need to be more aware of what's going on in the world.

My starter wife was born and raised in Cleveland, and graduated from tOSU engineering school.  She's fairly normal.  Her family and friends are by and large latent racist humorless shitbags, and this includes her parents, both Notre Dame grads.  Education wasn't the problem.  Racist misogynistic homophobic middle America was the problem.

Beyond that, UT is 2-1 against tOSU, but the Buckeyes will get a chance to even up or pull ahead soon.  Good luck with that.

Criminal needs legal counsel experienced in defending criminals, paid for with campaign contributions.  Talk about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.  Wish this was funny but it's real sad and depressing that Democracy means so little to constituents bound on unraveling Democracy.   I'm at at the stage where I believe that every one of these asshats walks free and gets continuously elected to grift off tax payer dollars while damaging the country even further.  This should be on the nightly news across the country but it's not because we're conditioned to this and worse from the preceding four years of bullshit.

Yeah, I'm starting to get the "If they die, they die" state of mind these days myself.

This is pretty much where I have been since the Mueller report.  Mueller should have grown some balls and indicted that asshole.  Instead he wanted to "stick to precedent", which basically means there are two justice systems in this country.  Or at least one that doesn't apply to wealthy politicians.  If Gaetz were a regular person, he would have been arrested long ago.  Instead he gets to continue his grift and destruction of democracy.

one of at least 13 times the cuyahoga river has caught fire. How many places have rivers that are fire hazards?

Others have answered you, but I'll just add this:

Remember the promise of "40 acres and a mule" to freed slaves? Well, the mule was added later (and never given), but the 40 acres came from Special Field Order 15, given by Sherman after meeting with black ministers and leaders in South Carolina. Of course Johnson gave all of the land back to the plantation owners as a part of his appeasement strategy for his fellow southerners.

Sadly, we do that to more than just rivers, but also the Gulf. But in Texas, polluters dump around 12 million pounds of toxic chemicals into rivers every year.

I get him not indicting cheeto, but what was really fucking dumb was his decision to not detail his crimes based on the reasoning that cheeto wouldn't be able to defend himself.
