Some advice for my fellow West Virginians

When Amway DeVos closes your kids' public school and gives you a voucher for a charter school, but there aren't any charter schools anywhere close to where you live...
And your drinking water is yellow, catches fire and smells like shit, and the air is choking you but there is no more EPA…
And the fracking companies have bought up your neighbor's land and are burying radioactive waste in your garden, but Rick Perry is too busy lobbying for more oil wells to notice...
And they’ve taken away your health insurance and cut your Medicare and Social Security…
And the Labor Secretary cut the minimum wage in half and installed robots to take your kid’s after-school job…
And your friendly neighborhood bank has been taken over by Megabank International and they want to renegotiate your mortgage...
And your same-sex marriage has been annulled and your transgender child can't use the rest room...
And you can't vote any more because you're black or Latino and you don't have the correct ID...
And your wife makes half as much as the guy next to her doing the exact same job...
And you still haven't gotten your job back...
Just remember how proud and happy you were on Election Day when you voted to make America great again.

And by the way...


Facebook always asks, "What's on your mind?"
Today, what's on my mind is this:
We have a gutless, soulless, greedy Congress and an alternative president elected by uninformed voters who are now in line to get screwed by the people they put in office, and who are possibly too stupid to even know it. To them, I say, "Congratulations. You're going to get what you deserved."
To everyone who voted for third-party candidates who had absolutely no chance of winning and those who didn't bother to vote at all, I say, "Shame on you for allowing this to happen. This cluster fuck is on you."
At least we don't have a president who doesn't understand email. Do we?
