    Now, I can agree with one of the things said in West Virginia about retraining coal miners - it was asked of those computer jobs (for one example) would be, well, there. Otherwise you'd just swap unemployed miners for unemployed programmers.
    That's the central issue when it comes to blaming any given President for coal mining job losses.

    Even if a President set out to attempt to protect those jobs to any degree?

    You might as well be trying to protect cassette tape production jobs.

    Hey, you know what might be cool? If you maybe posted/linked the stories you're referencing -- maybe even with some commentary or thoughts of your own on the topics, though that's not strictly necessary -- rather than just making drive-by posts with sneering terms like "libs" and "Grandpa Joe".

    But whatever man, you do you, obviously. Just saying, you're not likely to be winning any hearts and minds, with this approach.

    Yeah, but then I gotta consider we're talking about the same Kevin McCarthy that has folded on standing up to Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

    He's probably paying lip service to doing anything about Gaetz at this point.

    Maybe he'll want a sex trafficker to be removed from his Committee Appointments. MAYBE.

    Gaetz looks like if you have him a change of clothes and a stubble, he could be a grinning movie extra for a scene where somebody gets their thumbs broken.

    Point taken. It hadn't occurred to me that Craven Kevin might be scamming everyone with his concern over Matty Perv. After all this time, I should know better, but, according to another poster, we should be ignoring this matter to focus on Grandpa Joe, the libs and Indira Harris. SMDH.

    I don't think there is a more punchable looking face in Congress, and that includes Fled Cruz. Unless Martin Skreli gets called to testify again, the Gaetzlighter will be the King.


    Cruz and McQuisling are likely deserving of more scorn, but Gaetz just has the look of someone who should have that grin knocked of his face with a 5 finger attitude adjustment.

    And the most punchable face I've seen since Stephen Miller. It just begs for a knuckle sandwich.

    Was Joe Biden ever announced as president on this forum in a thread? I never saw one but maybe I just missed it. I remember presidents before getting one. That's why I was looking.

    It's not as though the mess Trump made disappeared when he left office. We'll likely be paying for his ****-show for a long time to come.

    Amazing, are you telling me the president used Air Force One?! I am shook. Thank god the former guy didn't do something with it as trivial as go golfing constantly while hundreds of thousands of people died.

    But don't you see that coal jobs are so much more exciting than solar??

    I come from a mining family, both my dad and granddad got serious injuries, and long lasting breathing problems in retirement.

    The gist of dads career advice to me was “Don’t go down the pit. I’d sooner you became a criminal”.

    It really will be amazing to watch the same people who had no problem with Trump's constant golf outings whine about even the smallest Presidential trips that Biden takes on Air Force One.
