I'm not a fan of Doug Mastriano, but I could believe he didn't even know he received that $1k. That's not a lot.

Dude never held office in Ohio, or anywhere. It's weird this article is trying to put some blame on him for the derailment like they gave him one thousand bucks to go loosen some bolts or something.

>"Yeah, Paulette, I heard on one of the news stations last night that that rail network is heavy into donating to politicians," Mastriano replied during the February 16 stream. While Mastriano said he couldn't confirm that was the case, "I know my own finances. I didn't get any money from that train network."

Here's what they're posting out. He's blaming democrats and boldly proclaiming that the rail is donating to democrats. HE also claims to know where his money comes from.

It's OK if he didn't know and was put on the spot, but he wasn't. Nobody asked. So he didn't have to say anything.

Although, might mlbe smarter to look at your funding sources after speaking out.

He also joins the platform of deregulation, which is why this whole event happened.

Lol God he's so obnoxious. He's got an ego like Trump, but less successful so you're extra confused why he's so full of himself.

I still would believe he didn't know about that check, but:

Couldn't agree more. Dude is an idiot. Gladly voted against him, though I do tend to lean republican.

It's hard to vote republican. I try to go for whoever is truly the better candidate. Both sides are putting up garbage. I've even gone independent, but it's hard to pick anybody to represent us these days.

The Republicans have just no direction. But I'm also over the Democrats LGBTQ+ racket. I think we are fucking up a lot of kids with puberty blockers and I can't believe that people are okay with it. I'm progressive but I'm not that progressive.

That has nothing to do with Democrats but rather Republicans wanting to take medical decisions out of the hands of doctors and let the politicians make them, just like with abortion.

Yeah I don't trust the medical experts who say puberty blockers are not going to fuck kids up.

Those issues belong to medical professionals, not so much politics, in my book.
