it's absolutely disgusting that he's gonna skate on that trafficking charge. It's obvious he was with that underage girl, but they're not going to go to after him b/c of lack of evidence or whatever. Maddening.

[allegate]

worse than that: because the person who was informing on him was a bad suspect. The guy they already arrested and pinned a bunch of stuff on? suddenly not a good witness.

[allegate]

insane that it was before the election and still he won.

oh shit, this is live:



persona non grata to the Republicans? wow.

[allegate]

That’s kind of impressive, like three or four bits with one stone.

2024 starting already.

Justice in the Senate? West Virginia governor 'very interested' in challenging Joe Manchin

Justice, a former Democrat who notably joined the GOP after making an announcement at a 2017 Trump rally, told "Your World" that Washington, D.C. is a "mess" under the Biden administration and that the way he turned around the Mountain State's economy and budget would serve him well in the Senate.

Once upon a time the state was very blue, I can only imagine it was the exodus of the young that's driven the state to be the way it is now.

I mean, 2021 and 2014 and 2017 and 2017.

Yeah, I can't imagine what's causing this.

The steady population decline has been an ongoing challenge for West Virginia. The number of residents has dropped from a peak of just over 2-million in 1950 to 1,782,959 as of July 1, 2021, according to the latest numbers from the U.S. Census.

The drop in population is the result of more deaths than births and people moving out of West Virginia. The state, as well as other parts of Appalachia, has been drained by the Hillbilly Highway, the name given to the emigration of people from rural areas to more industrialized regions.

The result has been a “brain drain” of young people, a negative impact on the tax base, a dearth of new ideas, and a diminished labor force. West Virginia’s workforce participation rate is just 54.2 percent, second lowest in the country after Mississippi.

Lol, I mean not the poor woman passing out, but just as a launch of a campaign in general... what a momentum and first impression!

Definitely shows he's a man of action. damn near takes an eye out with how fast he stands there doing nothing for several seconds.
