@BradMcElhinny My fellow wvians are possibly the most uniformed voters in the country. It was already law. And we continue to vote for representatives that are against our interests.

A few years ago the WVGOP got briefed on what went wrong w/ Kansas experiment and the conclusion was essentially "didn't gut government enough."

The "Hope you get accepted to private school" voucher and "school's choice of students" framework gets right to the heart of that

Bingo. If the tax cuts, as well as right to work, worked as promised, we’d be building schools, not closing them

I have absolutely no problem criticizing Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries.

You know why?

Because I’m not in a god damn cult.

That’s why.

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

If WV can afford round after round of ineffective tax cuts for the wealthy, on top of the Hope Scholarship, it can afford $410 million for public education.

A man crossed a border from Jalisco Mexico and found himself in a WV coal mine with a pickaxe in his hand.

His sons followed him into those mines. One served in the Korean War.

His grandson spent 24 years fighting for this country. And then went on to serve in Congress.

That’s the American dream.

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

I’m the grandson of an immigrant who came to America from Jalisco Mexico.

He changed the way we pronounced our family name.

Over time, the culture disappeared. The language evaporated. The stories were forgotten.

No immigrant should have to feel like they need to lose their culture in order to become more American.

@brettmacro @dhpreps Why not just punt the ball?

🚨 NEW: Trump was reportedly warned about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s relationship with an alleged Chinese spy — and did NOTHING.

Marco Rubio oversaw a classified memo warning top officials. Yet Trump continued embracing Huang as the CEO pushed to loosen restrictions on AI chip sales to China. https://t.co/V471r4P1FX

I have a history PhD from Oxford and try to support all of my historical claims with strong evidence, particularly when regarding the president of the United States.

But based on a comprehensive review of 250 years of American history, it is simply irrefutable that Donald Trump is by far the most corrupt president in U.S. history when it comes to using the office to enrich himself and his family.

Here are the facts, and why there isn’t even a close second.

Trump’s own federal financial disclosure reported more than $1.4 billion in 2025 income from family crypto ventures, including about $635 million from his meme coin and nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial. Reuters separately estimated that the family added at least $2.3 billion to its fortune from crypto ventures after Trump returned to the White House.

The clearest example of how Trump used the office came in May 2025. The 220 biggest holders of his meme coin were invited to dine with the sitting president at his private golf club. The coin jumped more than 60 percent when the dinner was announced. To get a seat at the table, you had to buy and hold a product that made the president money. Trump turned access to the presidency into a sales pitch.

The foreign dealings raise an even more serious question. Four days before Trump took office, an investment vehicle backed by a UAE national security official agreed to pay $500 million for nearly half of World Liberty Financial. The Wall Street Journal reported that $187 million of the initial payment was directed to Trump family entities.

Trump is clearly not the first United States president to be guilty of corruption, but the size and scale of his malfeasance put him in a league of his own.

Under Ulysses S. Grant, whiskey distillers and federal officials pocketed money by cheating the government out of liquor taxes. Under Warren Harding, Interior Secretary Albert Fall took bribes in exchange for leasing federal oil reserves. Richard Nixon had a personal tax scandal, but his defining abuse of presidential power was the Watergate cover-up, an effort to protect his hold on office. LBJ’s political connections helped turn a small Texas radio station into a family broadcasting empire.

By September 2025, less than eight months into Donald Trump’s second term, he and his family were roughly $5 billion richer than they had been around the 2024 election, according to Forbes. In comparison, a reasonable estimate is that all 44 other U.S. presidents combined added about $250 million to their wealth while in office, adjusted to today’s dollars. That puts the Trump family’s gain at about 20 times the estimated combined total for all other presidents over the course of two and half centuries.

The election results were, at least in part, a clear repudiation of this staggering and historically unprecedented corruption. Congress now has a mandate to investigate, follow the money, pursue the recovery of all ill-gotten gains, and enact enforceable safeguards so that no president can ever again use the White House as a vehicle for personal enrichment.

@TheLeftGuard Bud, you should quit watching football and switch to soccer or something.

My Sunday Morning Soap Box:

My home state of WV has a serious issue with high school sports. Having a 1-9 football team make the playoffs in the state’s largest classification is a problem.

4 Classifications in total are ridiculous.

@wvssac really needs to re-evaluate things.
