She has not returned from the dead to haunt the living as far as I know.

She’s skipped that step, and is just making life worse for everyone without having died.

Elected politician behaving like an out of control teenager is not relevant. Got it.

Person making poor life decisions is entrusted to make potentially life altering decisions on behalf of thousands of other people. And that’s not relevant?

They couldn’t find anything relevant unfortunately, turns out that otherwise she is pretty damn irrelevant.

She’s one of the 500 most powerful people in America. That’s way. She literally helps decide the political direction of the country!

This behavior makes a lot of sense if you consider she knows she’s going to lose reelection, and is trying to enjoy the gravy train, while keeping her name ‘relevant’ (with the crazies) for her imminent shift to far right talk show host.

This is the sort of stuff that immediately makes me think of the start of Idiocracy.

What makes you think her constituents won’t just eat this shit up? They already voted for her once, her skills, knowledge, education and qualifications were never the qualities that got her elected in the first place. She’s one of those “she says what I’m thinking!” representatives

She’s trying to position herself as Trump’s next cock sleeve once Melania inevitably leaves Trump and takes half his shit on the way out.

She’s trailer trash. Of course she over indulges and can’t handle her booze. That’s staple trailer trash behavior. This stupid jackass would fit right in on the real housewives of West Virginia. People like her are the face of the modern Republican party.

Hey. You just insulted my entire state. But also yes.

Edit: Would people watch RHOWV / should I shoot a pilot episode to cash in on that?

Went to college with a lot if kids from West Virginia.

None went back after they graduated. There’s a lot of bleak states, but WV is probably the bleakest.

A lot of people I know well make a lot of money in northern va and then will retire in WV.

Also, a lot of people are moving past purciville in Virginia and closer to WVA!

Ehhh… They might be okay to live in, but they are rarely a good financial decision overall unless you happen to own the land they’re constructed on.

You are generalizing and stereotyping. Not all people who live in trailers are trash, it’s often due to economic reasons and the system has failed them. Your comment comes across as classist.

There are normal ass trailer parks where it’s mostly folks getting by like anyone else. Then there are trailer trash trailer parks with lots of disastrous people making the stereotype come to life.

Trailer trash and those living in trailers are a venn diagram, but are not the exact same.

Not everyone who lives in a trailer is trailer trash, but it is a prerequisite for that label. It’s just a particular brand of drama and shitty lifestyle

I lived in a trailer park for years while saving up to buy land and can identify the two kinds of trailer park inhabitants at a glance:

  • those who know they are there temporarily
  • those who know they are there permanently

These two groups rarely interact with each other.

It shows how desperate she is. Not a look you want for reelection so it’s mildly relevant.
