All of Ohio’s depravity. All the time.

Jerry Cirino’s Facebook is in shambles right now.

I can no longer in good conscience support Talarico. Disgusting sentiment.

Lot of ball to play but in many ways the guilty verdict was the worst possible outcome for the beautiful Lake County taxpayer.

A judge barred Ohio political blogger D.J. Byrnes' (aka @rooster.info) #FirstAmendment defense in his trial for sending a sexually explicit Shrek image to state Sen. Jerry Cirino (R-Kirtland). Byrnes was found guilty, ordered to pay $200 plus court costs. www.axios.com/local/clevel...

You'll notice he did not contest that I correctly reported he quit like a dog in December, either.

I had to summon my deepest trauma to stop from bursting out laughing at Cirino acknowledging the Young Mussolini moniker.

You’re right. This is Buckeye Man. Easy mistake to make!

@rooster.infoOct 12, 2026, 12:44 PM

Yes that’s exactly what happened. Original corrupt judge recused and they summoned a retired judge.

@rooster.infoOct 12, 2026, 12:43 PM

They’re actually bringing it back in a new park with a bunch of woke nonsense talking about his complicated legacy. It makes me sick.

Like, I understand why Mussolini cried like a dog over a single image of nude Shrek. What I will never understand is how he got a judge, a police chief, and a prosecutor to go along with his crying. He's a State Senator who will be less powerful than me come January. He's not God!

@rooster.infoOct 12, 2026, 11:36 AM

I was pretty sure I was going to appeal going into the trial. But when I learned that the prosecutor and Kirtland have to continue spending resources on a single nude Shrek image sent to a 74-year-old state senator, well, it was an even easier decision for me.

It would appear the concept of jury nullification, which dates back to colonial times, still has a way to go in Lake County.

We've decided to appeal to decision, because ultimately this case is about if a lowly State Senator can jail a critic over protected speech.

I honestly thought Buckeye Guy was a Maoist so this is extremely upsetting.

@rooster.infoOct 12, 2026, 11:14 AM

sigh…. #GoBucks

Oh. The down ballot is going to be a bloodbath for GOP. Set that in stone.

@rooster.infoOct 12, 2026, 1:14 AM

I follow it! Just trying not to get over my skis haha.

@rooster.infoOct 11, 2026, 11:26 PM

Godfather told me today not to pay the fine or court costs because the appellate court could consider the case settled so Lake County won’t be getting that money any time soon.

@rooster.infoOct 11, 2026, 11:00 PM

Plus, it’s in the line of calling a big dude “Tiny”

@rooster.infoOct 11, 2026, 10:58 PM

He’s young compared to Old Mussolini who has been in the ground for over 80 years.
