  1. I’m not afraid of this weak,insecure,pathetic excuse for a human being! #Vote 20/20 #Orange is the New Black#Prison

    1. @snoop alert
      youre truly lousy at reading people aint cha?
      ah well, what can we really expect from an imbecile like you?

  2. I have friends in the coal industry. They said they can’t compete with natural gas. The jobs AIN’T coming back.

    1. @Steve Logue
      i forgot to ask, fared well through dorian?
      seeing some of the footage from Halifax, trees down power outages, etc

  3. Everyone knew he couldn’t save the coal industry, well everyone except his cult who will probably fill the comments with cries of “fake news”. He’s leading them to bankruptcy, the only thing he’s actually good at besides spewing continuous lies and misinformation to keep his base paranoid, angry, confused and easily manipulated.

  4. Trying to keep up with Trump’s lies is virtually impossible. It’s like trying to count rain drops during a monsoon downpour.

    1. It is even impossible to keep track of all scandals. One is discussed and at least 2 new scandals appear halfweg the discussion.

    2. David J : If you’re interested, The Washington Post has been keeping a running tally, and Politico does a period piece on his current totals. You can Google “running count of Trump’s lies” to find them both (plus a few others).

      2018-06-04 · Coal Miners’ Fund Set For Deep Cuts As Black Lung Epidemic Grows A federal trust fund for coal miners who have the deadly disease black lung could run up a $15 billion deficit if a planned funding …

  5. When those retired coal miners rode 10 hours in a bus to get to DC, Moscow Mitch spent a whole 60 seconds with them.

    1. Many of them will be dead soon and won’t be able to vote so why waste his time ? In fact, he’s trying to speed that up by taking away their health care. And, bonus !, if he succeeds, Republicans won’t have to go on record turning down their pension bailout. They won’t be around to file claims.

    2. @Rudy Penza And these dudes mostly have black lung disease.
      Fun fact if you calculate the left and right leaning geezers who die each day and the left and right leaning teens who turn 18 each day, the Dems are picking up a potential 2000 new votes each day. Normally young folk don’t vote much, but Gen Z is the most politically active generation in 50 years when the voting age was 21. Exciting times.

  6. The only ones surprised by this is the coal industry’s djt voters! Maybe they’ll vote smarter this time around. SMH😒

  7. I kinda feel bad for those Americans that really believe trump , I grew up watching trump on the Howard Stern show and he was always a joke
