I would say "Don't the coal miner's kids watch Sesame Street too?" but I suspect they're hoping to get them in the mines again ASAP... like the "good old days"
It might help if these Republican legislators--Mike Johnson & many others, plus Leavitt, Trump's PR Sec who never appears w/out her cross--would start giving some thought to the words of the guy they pretend to worship. If Jesus was around today, they'd be calling him a radical leftist.
Trump says we can't afford to feed kids and seniors but we can afford Secret Service teams to accompany Beavis & Butthead on their global self-enrichment tours. Let the billionaires pay for their own security. This is ridiculous.
There are people - coal miners, in fact - who believe that mining jobs should exist because they are terrified of not being able to feed their families. They should have someone who holds Big Coal accountable for their safety record. That is one of the reasons why everyone should pay for PBS.
It's 2025 and "Big Coal" shouldn't be a "thing"
It's a dirty, dangerous job, that is disastrous for the environment and the people who mine it.
We don't need coal mining just to provide terrible jobs.
Oh, without a doubt. It's just that there is a whole industry out there that is entirely organized around convincing people that if they don't hold on to the "old ways", they are going to live the rest of their lives in misery, poverty, and completely sidelined by the "woke mob".
Well, DJT doesn’t think the coal miners should get NIOSH, but dig baby dig, and black lung is good to go. He cares about no one, and does not get anything this country is going through. The government is all about his potential grift as far as he is concerned
And the thing is you can talk all day to those Republicans and they don't care. They'll laugh at you. That's what really pisses me off. They don't care.
Trump thinks of coal miners as two-dimensional political props which he finds useful. But even coal miners without children manage more than one idea at once, and "Sesame Street works for kids" is one of those ideas. "Climate change is worrisome" is another. Republicans should try it some time.
Trump is insulting the intelligence of coal miners, yet it's Trump who gets political mileage from those billionaires in the coal industry who exploit the mine workers lack of awareness+contribute to the worker's black lung disease and health issues, also environmental contamination+air pollution.
so, Q here- Snuffalupagus was one of the gentlest souls on the show, and he was for all accounts- an elephant... so come on GOP you were RIGHT THERE with us in 1970...what happened?!
