Other potential prizes: liquor, Trump flags, MAGA hats, pepper spray, clubs, pitchforks, brass knuckles, paramilitary paraphernalia, Molotov cocktails, and a personal visit with Trump at Mar-a-Lago (which would be a change from his mingling with only the wealthy).
The fact that Drumph was booed when he suggested they get vaccinated shows that he does not control the Confederacy of Dunces but is merely their puppet.
All of the talk by Trump about saving the coal miners of WV evaporated. In 2016, Trump at least had a semblance of what politicians are known to do: offer hope of improving the standard of living of their constituents. Trump has descended into a non-stop retaliation campaign against everyone who he feels treated him unfairly. WV is so desperate that the Republican governor is offering prizes to those who vaccinate to save their lives so that there can be any chance at all of improving their standard of living.
We need to encourage people to vote. Our slogan should be something like, VOTE! NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY MAKE IT! . .
Article from August 2017. Trump touted clean coal while trying to slash Energy Department research on clean coal by 55%. Trump doesn't understand that there isn't any free ticket for what he wants. Clean coal comes at a cost. Various energy producers knew this and eventually abandoned coal for cleaner and profitable energy sources, some of which Trump detests such as wind power. The reality that Trump wouldn't accept mainfested itself when major coal producing companies went bankrupt later in Trump's term. Trump Touts 'Clean Coal,' But His Policies Don't Support It Justin Worland August 2017 excerpt: "President Trump told a crowd in the coal mining-heavy state of West Virginia on Thursday that he had fulfilled his campaign promise to end the “the war on beautiful, clean coal,” adding that “we are putting our coal miners back to work.” “I made you a promise during the campaign . . . and as you’ve seen, I’ve kept that promise,” Trump said. “We’ve stopped the [Environmental Protection Agency] intrusion. American coal exports are already up.” But at the same time, the Trump administration is pushing measures that would slow the development of what is often referred to as “clean coal.” Also called carbon capture and storage, clean coal involves taking carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and either storing them underground or using them for another purpose, like oil and gas extraction. The “storage” aspect keeps the emissions from contributing to man-made climate change. Trump’s budget proposal, released in May, would slash the budget of an Energy Department program working on clean coal by 55%. (Congress will almost certainly restore some of that funding when it passes a budget)."
Two years later in late 2019, eleven coal companies had filed for bankruptcy. Eleven coal companies have filed for bankruptcy since Trump took office
The most accurate way to tell how anyone votes is to test their dna, while the conservative population has been imploding faster than any other on the planet since the invention of modern birth control. What you require are cheap handguns, porn, and liquor that can be passed out at the voting booth.
Article from December 2020 about the nuance of the Durham investigation. The Statutory Authority for Barr’s Appointment of Durham as Special Counsel By Josh Blackman Wednesday, December 2, 2020, 4:31 PM The Statutory Authority for Barr’s Appointment of Durham as Special Counsel excerpt: "Soon enough, many of the fights from the Mueller investigation may be rekindled, but with the roles reversed. Congressional Democrats will criticize the Durham investigation as a partisan proceeding. Congressional Republicans will celebrate the investigation as a way to uncover illegal conduct. After a few years, the report will be completed, and the next attorney general will be under pressure to release as much of the report as possible. Afterward, Congressional Republicans will sue to un-redact confidential grand jury materials. And, throughout the process, the press will receive a never-ending drip-drip-drip of allegations. Here we go again. "
Political posturing, designed to convince people we still have two parties, and not to panic. When a quarter of your population insists the sun revolves around the earth, and almost nobody even knows the dictionary merely contains popular definitions, politicians attempt to prevent the chickens from panicking.
Cyber Ninjas hasn't complied and released communications records related to Trump's AZ audit. Even pro-Trump fan and AZ senate Republican Karen Fann has told Cyber Ninjas to release the information after it lost the lawsuit. Renegade Cyber Ninjas Brazenly Defies Senate Demand For Records In Arizona Vote 'Fraudit' excerpt: "The Cyber Ninjas company in charge of the hugely controversial vote audit in Arizona is brazenly defying a demand to release all records regarding its operation and communications. The Arizona Supreme Court earlier this week left in place rulings from two lower courts ordering the state Senate — and the company it hired — to release all records concerning its widely derided audit of 2.1 million Maricopa County votes. The presidential election ballots have already been certified multiple times by actual election officials. Records regarding a very public concern commissioned by the state Senate cannot dodge public records law simply because they’re held by a private company, the courts ruled in suit for access to records by good government group American Oversight and The Arizona Republic. “Arizona law does not allow public servants to outsource democracy and shroud their conduct in secrecy,” Austin Evers, executive director of American Oversight, said after the decision."
It's difficult to remove Trump when he's stuck in a retaliation rut. Decades later, he's still upset about an editor for Vanity Fair saying his hands are small. Trump has forgotten his forgotten people. Kellyanne Conway told Trump that he didn't have 'swagger' in 2020 and said his campaign resembled Hillary Clinton's 2016 bid: book excerpt: "Conway let Trump know that he needed to "get back to basics." "How did you win in the first place in 2016? You won because you have this connective tissue with people. The people are forgotten. You've elevated them," she said, according to the book. "They actually benefited financially, culturally, emotionally. They had upward economic and social mobility while you were president. And they are the most hurt by your loss." She added: "They're the most hurt because they're the coal miners and the steelworkers and the energy workers. They're the middle-wage people. They're the ones who have not one kid, but three and four who now are going backward in their economic mobility.""
It can be argued that Trump didn't really improve the financial mobility of his constituents, although he made them believe that he did which gave them an emotional boost. Nonetheless, Trump has still drifted away from his 2016 platform that gave him appeal to his constituents.
Trump certainly didn't improve the financial mobility of the coal miners, unless one is referring to downward mobility.
So a limo picks you up at your hotel, takes you there, he talks to you for 5 minutes, then lunch is served, he tells you he already ate and doesn't join you, then after lunch you're escorted back to the limo and driven back to your hotel. And you're still star struck!
