    Calling people names wasn’t trump’s worst trait. By far. Putting together a coordinated effort to overthrow the results of an election make all that seem like child’s play.

    Coal use is actually less than 20% and falling precipitously as the graph midway down this link shows. If manchin actually cared about west Virginians he’d be figuring out how to get solar panel manufacturers to build plants there instead of pushing against the rapid decline of coal. But that doesn’t help his bank account so it isn’t going to o happen.

    Attended a City meeting last night and the Mayor was reading his same statement he trots out all the time about it's not his fault the roads are bad, we have a lot of hills and no money. Asked him about the Infrastructure Bill and he didn't even know it passed. We have total bozos running the government.

    I voted for his young, smart, Libertarian challenger, but it is hard for anyone outside the two party system to win.
