Well. Appreciate the position taken. Prefer a more elevated tone for messaging myself. 
Trump would never do that. It’s on the menu at Mar-a-Gulago.
After the Guv pardoned the cowpies, they retired to be made into clocks.
Tone is just right for W VA I would think.
That’s right. He would use visitors’ logs, instead of “bull-you-know-what.”
I suppose I could find people in southeastern Pennsylvania who’d find it naughtily droll. Personally I think illustrating a vetoed budget with a platter of shit is the kind of crude “edgy” attention-getting maneuver that’s really more tiresome than anything. And I’ll bet I could find a lot of West Virginians rolling their eyes at one more reason for people to find them unsophisticated. Many southerners don’t much like being thought of that way by outsiders, and don’t appreciate being made to look that way by neighbors. Just saying.
But good though. h/t Utah Phillips
Would have been much more chic to have the veto statement printed on toilet paper and left out the visual of the merde. Guess “understated” is not appreciated in WV.
Heard him do that a few decades ago at the Philadelphia Folk Festival.
I know what you mean…though Trump would probably have used MOAB.
I beieve this is called knowing your constituency.
It always makes me laugh when commenters complain about what dems are and aren’t doing across the country and give them “advice” which looks like what’s on the last platter in West Virginia.
“We don’t have a nothing burger today,” Gov. Jim Justice (D) said, unveiling silver platters as he went.
This guy should be appointed to the Supreme Court. By President Whitehouse.
More power to him - he is trying to raise taxes in West Virginia - and he has a Marvel Comics hero name! His name is Jim Justice and his super power is calling bullshit on Republicans.
I like it… but my favorite super heroes always have a catch phrase. Something like,
This republican wave of evil has just crashed against the shores of Justice!
Shoot, the ads write themselves.
Is that a poopoo clock?
More Democrats need to have a feel for how to reach their constituents in ways that garner attention and diverge from the usual bland master’s degree Dem platitudes. If you want to reach people who work in bowling alleys and construction firms and car washes and mini-mall retail outlets—and lots of these people are not white—then stop trying to hide your policy passion behind a wall of “good government we don’t do that sort of thing” tapioca.
Being an advocate for liberal policies doesn’t require you to adopt the behavior of D.A.R. members having tea.
And I’ll bet I could find a lot of West Virginians rolling their eyes at one more reason for people to find them unsophisticated.
I’m a Michigander and you’re a Pennsylvanian and I recognize that there might be larger cultural differences between our two Big 10/12/14/? states than I’m aware of, but the highly sophisticated appeal of Donald Trump did win the popular vote—however narrowly—in our states.
The only thing I’m worried about is whether that stuff on the plate next to Justice was really poop. If it was, he’s good. If it was a cosmetic stand-in—like dog food—then this might boomerang on him.
Is that Michelle Fiore?
That was my first thought, but the lack of guns and the normal bra size proved otherwise.
