        Don't even go there. You have no idea how this state has been used and abused by people outside the state. For decades. What he says may seem unintelligent, but if you knew the facts you might see why he responded that way.

        There is no amount of information that could make "I'm voting for the man responsible for the deaths of my family members." even approach intelligence.

        You'd be surprised how many West Virginians we get in hell. They are not the brightest. We don't torment them. We just stick them in a nice place and tell them it is Heaven. Then they torment each other. It's a great labor savor. We do the same for Oklahomans.

        We try to stay out of the room. Lots of cousin rape and rest area hook-ups. Place kind of creeps us out. We might have to combine them with all the new arrivals we will get from the war with Iran.

        This is exactly the mentality that got us an “honest crook” in the WH. A charming fellow (according to some) who can crack jokes about the handicapped & wigs of public servants, lead deplorable chants like no other, motivate the lazy to march with tiki torches, & grab privates 😺

        I agree except for this: Charming is not a word one could use to describe Trump under any circumstances.
