Same. No way I could let that slide. I’m almost more upset that no one else in that room had the dignity to stand up on her behalf. At a certain point, the job can get fucked in favor of principals. There’s some things you don’t compromise on or justify your way out of.
I agree, but my ratio looks more like 85/15 at best. It’s just unconscionable.
Lol. All you can do is laugh to keep from crying at this point. We are so far past the point of absurdity that this whole country feels like a fucking fever dream.
I’m just over it at this point. I’m tired of expecting anyone to stand up to this clown. Either I’m missing a big part of the puzzle or the leverage this guy has on everyone in DC is unprecedented.
I think it’s comes down to the fact that there are far fewer wealthy Dems than Republicans. The Dem “base” doesn’t have any power or influence outside of our voices, which is to say, none.
In other news, scientist confirm wetness of water. More at 11.
Oh! So you’re the target demographic for all the propaganda. Ok, got it.
I live in Bumfuck, WV. Quite possibly the stupidest state in the Union. Our elected representation perfectly encapsulates the constituents of the state. Moronic, incompetent, and completely unwilling to incite change for a more prosperous future.
I fucking hate it here. I can’t wait to be able to move.
Wake up America! 
Same fucking energy. Blaming an entire ethnicity/religion/group for the horrific actions and beliefs of an in-group is shameful, but GOP politicians don’t know the meaning of shame anymore.
The mental gymnastics these fucks do to hold one side accountable for things they wouldn’t on their own side is some Biles level tumbling and flipping.
I couldn’t imagine being this devoid of values.
I’ll never understand how classless they are.
I think they should keep their fucking mouths shut since they haven’t even been in session in over a month. Want to talk about immigration when their shitty middle manager has everyone at home because they’re afraid to swear in the new Dem rep.
It’s all so ridiculous it makes my head spin. This country is a horrible joke. Superpower my ass. We’re going to turn into a paper tiger after all the corruption guts every institution we once held in high esteem.
I love how the majority of comments here didn’t even read the whole headline, let alone the article, before confidently spouting whatever they already thought.
Maybe literally read for two seconds and you’d know.
Biff thinks he can shove all his problems into the lockers.
Jesus I can’t wait for this man to get his comeuppance. One day. I have to hold out hope that he’ll see some semblance of consequences or it just becomes too much to bear. I’m so tired of this daily clown show.
Jesus fucking Christ. It’s been nearly a whole year since I last thought about that piece of shit Joe Manchin. You just had to remind me.
Did more damage to our state than I ever thought possible for a senator. Robert C. Byrd rolling in his fucking grave watching that turncoat hem and haw and not do a goddamn useful thing his entire tenure.
It’s a whole 'nother generation and breed of miner, my friend. Those miners understood the power of collective action and the power they held within the nation as a major contributor to the economy and what essentially made the country move.
Today’s miners, meaning in the last 40-60 years, have been coasting on the battles hard-fought by their fathers and grandfathers. Do you think the miners of today would have fought for unionization or medical benefits? I sincerely doubt it. No, today’s mining culture is a far cry from those who died at Blair Mountain and fought against Pinkertons.
I’ve got to be fucking high to read what I just read. I can’t believe my eyes. “Communist! Communist! Communist!.. You know, we really have a lot of the same ideas…”
