And no doubt he'll get the rubes to do the "lock her up" chant.

I went to school in s.e. Ohio. I love West Virginia and spend time there every year but WV like lots of Ohio is filled w/Rubes.

Coal, chemical companies, right wing "pastors," and dirty politicians on both sides have made a large % of the state willing to vote against their own best interests.

Sorry to offend.

6. How many times has he been to WV?

It’s like drug for him. Does he ever go to the big important states like CA.?

Sometimes I think thanks to the ridiculous Electoral College and the 2 Senators per state rule (regardless of population) the entire country is being run WV.


Very unfair.

If I were younger, I’d be filling out forms & gathering immigrant info at the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand embassies.

Alas, I’m retired, and none of those countries want asset-sucking deadwood, unless you can invest multiple million$ in their governments.

German as well as Italian food. Wheeling has a large population of Italians like myself and alot of Germans settled here also. We use to have alot of Mills, Brewerys, and Glass Factorys. Today I have to endure all these Trumpies with their Trump shirts, Maga hats running all over this town and Festival. It's sickening mostly out of towners out of state licence plates acting all cocky and everything I hate it. I had to leave.
