West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) said that any president would be welcome in the state, except “maybe not Barack Obama,” Wednesday while discussing his bid to host the Republican National Convention.
“Everyone knows that President Obama made it a specific strategy to destroy our
coalhillbilly heroin industry andpowermesothelioma plants which, for more than a century, had been the lifeblood of West Virginia’s economy…”
Edited for accuracy…
That’s not what everyone knows, Jim.
He could skip a lunch or two.
I gotta hand it to Republicans. They’ve really got their fingers on the pulse of this country:
Maybe use the stairs instead of being hoisted and lowered from floor to floor with a construction crane.
Or they’re trying at least
OT but FFS now Esper’s all "Did I say send the active-duty troops back to their bases because there’s no legitimate role for them here among their fellow citizens? I misspoke, I meant to say don’t send the active-duty troops back to their bases because there’s no legitimate role for them here among their fellow citizens. Did I say I misspoke? Fake news CNN lied and said that’s what I said when it wasn’t.
Some of that is paraphrased but the little bitch is crawfishing now. You may stand down from any grudging respect you might have momentarily felt for his earlier mumblings in support of tradition and the law. ETTD.
SMDH
Way to grovel, Esper. Way to crawl on your belly like a reptile.
Man, the disrespect shown towards Obama by conservatives really has no bounds…and they don’t seem to realize how racist they come across when they say stuff like that. They make it crystal clear that Obama being black is why they hate him, and in doing so join themselves with the rest of the racists in the nation that are being protested against right now.
Hopefully the protest energy doesn’t run out by November, and everyone comes together to clean house on these racist Republican assholes.
And squeezing harder.
Given that West Virginia is #1 in obesity, good ol’ boy Justice is the perfect poster boy for the state. More smashed taters, Jim?
ETA Also worth noting, the manufacturers of Oxycontin, Oxycodone, etc. had a pet name for West Virginians: Pillbillies.
From here on out, the WV Capitol will be known as the “Hutt Hut”.
I swear I assumed he knew that move could likely make his job untenable and did it anyway. But he’s just another pansy business dude trembling in the presence of every superior and too limited in a sense of what a person’s life means to realize once in a goddamn while you might be called on to take a stand and make a sacrifice. I have to say the corporate world must be better than a ChiCom reeducation camp at breaking you down and making you a mindless robot.
Booyah! (Sorry. Don’t know how to write it with a drawl.)
On the weekends, Jim Justice likes to practice the “kuratee”.
“…lifeblood of West Virginia’s economy.” And the destroyer of West Virginia itself and its citizens.
Sorry, Porky, W. Va. has had a long time to move on from this old disaster of a fuel. Disaster for the environment and people working there. But, please, by all means, blame Obama for the fact you haven’t moved on.
Though Justice is trying to get reelected, the possible proxy war between Manchin, Warren and Trump > the actual race.
