    How can he be a business owner AND a politician? That’s a clear conflict of interest.

      How can he be a business owner AND a politician?

      Because voters trust him.

      https://www.propublica.org/article/this-governor-still-guides-his-billion-dollar-business-empire-even-though-he-said-he-wouldnt

      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.

      That’s a clear conflict of interest.

      I’ll give you one guess as to 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 violate the Emoluments Clause.

      Reminder: They are only able to do this because voters keep giving them power, despite constantly providing us reasons why we shouldn’t.

      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.

      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.

    I feel sorry for his bulldog. The wealthiest senator leading one of the poorest and neglected states in the USA.
