Henry Payne for December 22, 2021

You must be kidding.

Paynefully stupid. And that’s saying a lot.

If Manchin cared a hoot about them, he would’ve passed the bill.

I read that coal miners are asking Manchin to dial back his opposition to “Build Back Better”

I doubt the coal magnates dress like that.

Henry Payne thinks that the people who own coal mines are the ones doing the mining.

How dumb can he get? I keep thinking we’ve finally answered that question, but he just keeps going!

Really miners?

I’m trying to figure how you came to that conclusion and I can’t

Makes absolutely no sense at all. Please, HP, check yourself into rehab ASAP. The drug abuse/alcohol is really showing in your “work”.

Henry, your LIES are getting even stupider.

I didn’t think that could happen.

Let’s see, West Virginia has a population of about 1.8 million. Just under 300,000 voted for Manchin in 2018. There are under 12,000 (2020) coal miners in the state. So, no, Manchin’s “base” in no way are coal miners.

Great ‘toon! Sanders is a typical liberal. Let’s go, Brandon!

Non compos mentis — Of course, the mine workers will demand that Manchin act as their Senator. It’s the basis of our democracy. This is nothing other than the old tuquoque and diversion worthy of a Drumpfster.

Coal is environmentally devastating and bad for health. The number of people employed by the industry has been decreasing steadily for years. Its economic impact is declining. I think conservatives cling to it out of some warped contrarian nostalgia.

Manchin IS the wealthy special interest.

Good to see that the supply chain situation is not affecting Payne’s ability to get his two bowls of stupid for breakfast every morning.

Joe Manchin!!! He is for his people, sanders is for the commies!

There are about 12,000 coal miners in WV and about 40% (5,000) are UMW members and likely 75% of them voted for trump.

As so often happens, Payne lies.

True… but his family business paid for his boat and Masserrati.

Having trouble with the facts again Henry?

This is like saying that workers on assembly lines are the same people as the owners of the car company. I disagree with Payne a lot, but I credited him with understanding the difference. My mistake.

The coal miners want Build Back Better. It’s the hedge funds that own the coal mines that don’t.

This cartoon has twisted truth and logic beyond recognition.

Mr. Manchin, here’s something to chew on: If we keep funding the military at $750 Billion per year (and we will, probably adding a “cost-of-dying” factor each year), we will end up spending 7 1/2 TRILLION dollars over the space of ten years. And I don’t need the OMB to guaran-damn-tee you that it won’t pay for itself.

Why doesn’t THAT matter to you?

Stupid Henry Payne still shows how stupid he is.

Actually Manchin is likely the only Democrat who still can be elected in WV. Like Obama said “they (working class whites in depressed areas) cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment” and that is how they vote, not in their economic interest. The average WV miner likely believes-if you can’t feed them, don’t breed them.

Swing and a miss.

Wrong. Strawmen do not shovel coal, they just push the lie.

“In November, the Country Roads PAC received corporate contributions ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. Donors included financial giants such as American Express and Goldman Sachs, aerospace and defense leader Lockheed Martin, health insurance companies UnitedHealth Group and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and natural gas company CNX Resources. The PAC raised over $110,000 in November.”CNBC news, not fake but backed with objective facts

Payne lies again.

Well, inter alia the Koch Industries, though that’s more oil than coal. But a couple of dozen other Large Money people. It’s not Sen. Sanders’ imagination. Who knows what or who has made Manchin a puppet, but he plainly has sawdust for brains.

Yep.

Henry, do you think Manchin ever wore a pair of Carhartt’s? Actually, worked in a coal mine?

Bernie is a silly man. He rails against fossil fuels and then gets on his jet to the next town to do more railing. If Biden is to survive, he needs to grow a pair and expunge the socialists out of his orbit. Doubtful that he is that intelligent at this point.

It’s not the coal miners who have made him their puppet. It’s the wealthy coal barons who employ them.

It’s the coal mine OWNERS and other fossil fuel interests, not the miners, who seem to be funding Manchin’s political activities.

“A day after the West Virginia Democrat appeared to kill Build Back Better, America’s largest coal mining union put out a statement lauding the legislation’s provisions and pushing Manchin to take a do-over.”

“We urge Senator Manchin to revisit his opposition to this legislation and work with his colleagues to pass something that will help keep coal miners working, and have a meaningful impact on our members, their families and their communities.”

Heaven forbid he doesnt give the Far left a blank check to put us further in debt. Also heaven forbid you trolls actually read the bill and not just go what your press and reps tell you.
