*How can he be a business owner AND a politician?
Because voters trust him.
The real question is why do they trust him?
they don't - it's not about trust, it's just spitefully gravitating to whatever "makes liberal heads explode".
They probably trust him because their livelihoods are tied to coal, the same as him. He probably makes bold statements about keeping coal flowing and jobs going.
"Clean coal"
That’s a clear conflict of interest.
I'll give you one guess at which party he's a member of and how little they care about conflicts of interest.
Hint: It's the party currently directly violating our Constitution by allowing the president to blatantly violate the Emoluments Clause.
Reminder: They are only able to do this because voters keep giving them power, despiteconstantly providing us reasons why we shouldn't.
That and non voters refuse to do anything to curb this too.
Because we can trust them to run the country like a business: straight into the ground.
bad people made the wrong moral choice voluntarily to give him power
he sounds like somebody who's really in touch with my concerns and cares about my community
lol
I can't imagine a person more for the people than a person with hundreds of millions of dollars. Are you worried about the cost of milk? Why didn't you become a hundred-millionaire if you cared so much about milk?
People are so lazy.
It's the real Holden Bloodfeast!
Fire the Senator, replace him with his dog.
Corruption
The state of WV is full of it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to change the votes or general attitudes of many mountaineers and their politics.
He doesn't deserve a dog like that.
A fat white old man hoarding wealth while running the country into the ground? That's so rare.
Christ, what an asshole.
But wook ad thu pubby! Such a hunsum Bubydog
Even evil men might be kind to animals sometimes.
Eat the rich!
Hey y'all. He's a member of....
Aww fuck it. We don't even need to look it up. We already know which party he's a member of.
What a horribly ugly ass creature, bet it shits itself anywhere it goes and fucking humps any woman in its wake.
Hope the cute baby doggy gets a better owner, they don’t deserve such filth
Not gonna lie. You had me there haha.
Oh thank goodness our joke went through haha Yeah, the doggy is cute af
I feel sorry for his bulldog. The wealthiest senator leading one of the poorest and neglected states in the USA.
I hate this fucking guy but I must admit I am immediately a fan of that dog
Dog would probably do a better job tbh.
What a disgusting, slobbery, drooling, farting, affront to the basic precepts of nature.
The dog seems nice, though.
Does he fuck the dog or make his wife do it?
"Aww, cute dog!" reads caption "Oh."
An ENGLISH Bulldog?! Revoke Jim's citizenship immediately!
The bulldog is there to make him seem humanish.
What a piece of shit.
so his net worth is about 2/3rds that of jared kushner, who is currently at place 3318 on forbes' list of us billionaires.
start from the top.
Rule 2?
He's one of the good ones!
He hasn't raped even one little kid. o7
(women and bulldogs... no comment)
Senator for West Virginia
Villains used to have white angora cats on their lap. But this will do.
He also bought the greenbrier resort for a song…
Is that the Whitespring Resort from Fallout 76?!
Had to look it up, and apparently it is!
