U.S. Sen. Todd Young was upset by comments former president Donald Trump made regarding Russia and Vladimir Putin at a CNN town hall.

I know this is old and hinges on your favor of trump, but I have more respect for Sen. Young after this and his breaking away from Republican shenanigans regarding this border security.

    Holy fuck, one of my state’s politicians is doing the bare minimum!

        I don’t know how those two both got elected in Indiana when they’re so different despite both being Republicans. I guess Hoosiers will vote for anyone with an R next to their name. But I’m betting Braun will be our next governor, sadly. On the other hand, Trump endorsed him and we know his track record. Still…

          Plus, we had one D prior.

          Well, they only got elected by 50.7 and 52.x percent.

          I guess in lieu of multiple parties, or no parties, I’ll take ones that differ from at least all extremes.

      This is who I was previously talking about. I didn’t realize you were local.

          👋🏼 Previously (1991-2002) West Lafayette here.

          Moved back to my prior, more lefty Minnesota where family is, but miss some aspects of Indiana.

            I’ve only been in that area a handful of times. I went to Wolf Park and we’ve been to Feast of the Hunter’s Moon a couple of times. That was great.

            It really couldn’t be. Have you been to Terre Haute? It makes Youngstown look nice.

              I’ve passed by on I-70 during various road-trips but never stopped. If it makes Youngstown look nice though must be one hell of a shithole.

                There is a reason to stop if you are of a certain political persuasion- Eugene V. Debs, who ran on the Socialist ticket in 1920 from prison and got a significant percentage of the vote (only 3%, but for a socialist in the U.S., in prison no less, that’s amazing), was from Terre Haute and there is a museum there in his former house. Bernie Sanders took a sideline from his campaign in 2016 to make a private stop to see the museum.
