    “Oh, I’ll vote for it, but I’ll pretend to feel bad about it for a couple minutes”

      He doesn’t care about that, he cares that voters will blame Republicans.

      It’s why traditionally they give everyone tax breaks and then set the ones for the poors to expire when a Dem will likely be in office, and the ones for the wealthy never expire.

      There’s none of that now, shits going to get bad and there’s no one to blame that doesn’t have an R by their name.

        Are you kidding? They’ll be scapegoating Biden’s corpse so long and so hard even the DNC will blush. And then there’s always Obama as a backup plan.

        Life is cake when absolutely nothing is your fault.

      Sounds like someone is afraid of West Virginia’s citizens remembering their history and dragging him into the street

    Oh little buddy, it’s too late now. You’ve made your bed with Nazis, and it’s full of piss and shit, but now you have to lie in it.

    If you’re not rich or powerful enough to float to the top – and you’re not – you’re going to have to deal with the Nazi filth. Too bad absolutely nobody warned you. Oh well.

    Does the bill still have that clause that says judges are no longer allowed to try to limit the executive branch? Because that’s the clause we should be campaigning against.

    “If we don’t watch out, people are going to get hurt, people are going to be upset. It’s going to be the No. 1 thing on the nightly news all over the place,” Justice, who served as West Virginia’s governor for eight years before winning his Senate seat last year, told Politico.

    Because, apparently, no one of any value has been hurt yet. He never figured it out, there’s just a personal consequence now. He looks old as shit, I hope hell claws him under the earth soon and cooks him for eternity.

    It’s really surprising that it’s Jim Justice of all people. The man is known as something of a scalawag even before the Trump years.
