The very cleanest coal. You won't believe how clean our coal is. It's unprecedented.

Also joking aside, coal is pretty dead end now that we have natural gas coming into play as cheaper and more enviromentally friendly.

1. This sentence is wrong, Trump doesn't use words that are more than 3 syllables.
2. Yes, but the government is trying its hardest to keep it alive.

Indeed. I remember one of the CNN reports talking to a Coal guy during the election. He said he own three mines(if I remember right) and he said the coal jobs won't return to the levels being mentioned and the fact it wasn't regulations that were killing it. They weren't helping but they were not the primary reason. As you mentioned; it was natural gas......

I thought with the Olympics team up and the handshake on the DMZ the Koreans had already made friends and agreed to end the war, but for a bit of paperwork.

I'm not sure what Trumps suppose to be doing there other than a photo op and bragging rights. Lets just he doesnt fuck it up and declare war on Canada :rofl:

Nothing will come of the summit and the trade war will intensify and his cult like supporters will continue to support him.

Wait, you're conservative and very christian and dislike Trump? :blink:
YES, GLORY!
(Not really a Conservative necessarily, but always glad to see free-thinking ones who despise him and see the creepy fascist/communist/dictatorial/monarchist/religious/false messiah-like cult.

That's very much a minority of Trump supporters. Maybe ten at the very most. The rest are reasonable people, you know.

Trump supporters are everywhere. Everywhere, I say. Some just hide themselves by essentially putting all of the Democratic Party's beliefs in their signature and adding a rainbow word.

Seriously, though, the liberal cities have some of the most conservative people.

The reasonable people are just conveniently cricket chirping whenever Donnie does something fucktacular.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

So, there are liberal ones too?
That's not what the polls said, on either side.
I'm cautious but not outright suspicious of polls.


To what religious causes are you referring?

As the election taught us all, polls are pretty untrustworthy.

Anyways, no, there's not. There's some exceptions to that though, especially where the majority are liberal.

The polls were largely on point for the vote totals, what people got wrong was not paying more attention to places like the Rust Belt which has been shifting towards the GOP for a while now.

Politico: Staffers tape back together presidential records Trump rips up

So it seems that Trump's habit of throwing a temper tantrum and tearing up any document handed to him that says things he doesn't like is illegal under the Presidential Records Act.

You'd think after all the shit he gave Hillary over the emails thing and how that clearly made her unfit to hold any sort of public office he wouldn't do something so utterly hypocritical... but then he is the master of projection.
