I hate tweet Susan Collins. I mean, come on, if anyone is in a position of vast power with the ability to sponsor and vote for things that will improve Americans’ lives, yet uses said power not to help citizens, but to keep one’s self in power, well then Susan Collins deserves to hear my beautifully expressed disgust.

So you’ve visited Brookwood, Alabama, I see.  It’s also an active sundown town.

“What she’s saying is that she’s having a hard time because she doesn’t want to be confronted with her wrong doing.” This is actually what she means when she says she “cannot take confrontation.” It’s apparent that she’s VERY thin-skinned and she can’t handle having stuff thrown back at her.

That’s easy to do at that age, and harder if you own a home in a place where nobody is buying homes.

Fuck you, bootlicker.

This dude absolutely would be fence sitting about the Civil Rights issue if he was alive in the 60s. “Of course I believe in civil rights, I just think that this MLK fellow just stirs up trouble and is too aggressive. It really turns people off to the cause, imo.”

Conflict averse people hate-tweet the most—they can drop a bomb online without the human element that a face-to face insult demands. It’s a haven for cowards. I’d venture a guess that’s a big draw of a place like Twitter, you can be all bark and that’s enough.

God damn if these comments aren’t filled with some bootlicking bullshit.

“Nothing good can come from blocking roadways”

The goal of the strike is to bring their compensation in line with other unionized miners. 

“BUT, nothing good can come from blocking roadways.”

“Their goal is literally to have similar pay and benefits as the non-union mine.”

Read your quote again for the real satire.

Yes, look at all those picketers threatening to stop a 4000 lb hunk of steel with their faces.  Truly terrifying for the truck driver.

The members of the union at THIS mine agreed to a pay cut to save their jobs when the previous owner declared bankruptcy (likely after saddling the mine with debt or running it into the ground to pay themselves a tidy sum). They now seek compensation in line with other UNIONIZED miners.

What about the workers who are striking to be able to feed their families? You know, the ones who aren’t driving cars into crowds and attempting vehicular manslaughter striking workers fighting for better conditions.

I mean, let’s be honest here, these cops are absolutely in the pocket of the mining company.  Of course they don’t have any reports, that’s by design.

They have a “keep this job at any cost” mentality.  Coal mining is like a lifestyle for them, their identity revolves around it.  Unfortunately for them, it’s a dying industry, and the politicians who still support it don’t care about the miners themselves or labour rights in general. So they’re getting fucked at both…

It was probably that, or have no jobs at all in an area without others readily available.  Coal mining towns are some sad places, man.

Vancouver, WA is in the United States. Vancouver, BC is in Canada. Vancouver Island is also in Canada but Vancouver, BC is not on Vancouver Island but you can take a ferry there, from Vancouver, BC. Which is in Canada. Vancouver is in Washington, but not DC. You can drive over a bridge to get to Vancouver, from…
