West Virginia’s poverty rate increases to 19.1 percent
HUNTINGTON - Despite economic growth, West Virginia was one of just two states to see its poverty rate increase from 2016 to 2017, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
An estimated 336,301 West Virginians lived in poverty in 2017, for a total poverty rate of 19.1 percent - an increase of 1.2 percentage points from 2016. West Virginia’s poverty rate in 2017 was 5.7 percent higher than the national average, and the state had the fourth highest poverty rate among the 50 states in 2017.
The Mountain State’s poverty rate has not declined since the end of the Great Recession.
Sean O’Leary, senior policy analyst for the West Virginia Center for Budget and Policy, said he had not expected the poverty rate to increase.
“We will really have to dig in there and figure out what is causing that,” he said.
West Virginia’s child poverty rate in 2017 was 25.5 percent, up 1.9 percentage points from 2016. An estimated 91,734 children lived in poverty in 2017. West Virginia had the fourth highest child poverty rate among the 50 states in 2017.
O’Leary said looking at the hard numbers doesn’t give any indication as to why child poverty increased, but said it’s a strong possibility it is linked to the opioid epidemic.

Trump says he uses “Democrat” rather than “Democratic” because “I hate the way it sounds, and that’s why I use it.” He then insists that “Democrat Party” is the real name of the party. He explains: “When you see ‘Democratic Party,’ it’s wrong. There’s no name.”

When a real president exists, the US has enough allies to keep things running. With Trump in office, Russia and China are taking over.
That is just terrifying, the kind of thing it takes 15 years, if ever to unwind. Africa. Arctic. While we cancel defense deals with NATO and South Korea.

That’s the case with many of them. A lot of so called Never Trumpers are happy to push Kavanaugh.
I’m sure Mueller’s team is taking note of the pattern of behavior.
I like how a President who is suspected of obstructing justice in the investigation of one of his appointees (telling Comey to back off on Flynn & Russia, firing him when he didn’t) is openly telling the FBI what they can and cannot investigate about another one of his appointees

I really wonder about them sometimes. The number of things they must convince themselves of in order to believe their 3% bullshit is amazing. They have to believe the federal government is as week as it was in 1860 (narrator: it is not). They have to believe that the US military and the national guard and local law enforcement will somehow be on their side (narrator: they won’t be). They have to believe the rest of the country will support them, even though the rest of the country voted against them.

I mean, you’re not wrong, but it does happen. The thing of it is, they compartmentalize. I look at fishfolk, and they reserve all their hatred for the aggregate: They hate black people “in general”, but that family that attends their church, oh, they’re just lovely folk. They seem to have the capability to view individual people as harmless or “not as bad”, whilst holding considerable venom for the things that those individual people stand for. The cognitive dissonance that spans the gap between those concepts never seems to accumulate for them, perhaps because they deliberately choose not to think on it. It would ruin their friendship if they allowed themselves to think of that black couple, or the Hispanic lady behind the counter, or the female secretary at the church, as poorly as they think of the stereotypes.

That is granted. I think that’s why wingnutism seems to fester in Middle America - yeah, fishfolk might have the occasional run-in with a family of “others”, but the vast majority of people they encounter are pasty-white wingnuts just like themselves, so they can kinda coast along on their beliefs and not think too hard on the implications as it involves their non-white-male-wingnut “friends”.

SNL had a great sketch following the Beyoncé SB stuff. The day Beyoncé became black.

re: #214 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel
The measurement unit “hand” used to measure things like horses, is 4 inches. Which is fairly close to the average width of a hand. So 2.5 inches is about 60% of a fist

re: #221 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
That is granted. I think that’s why wingnutism seems to fester in Middle America - yeah, fishfolk might have the occasional run-in with a family of “others”, but the vast majority of people they encounter are pasty-white wingnuts just like themselves, so they can kinda coast along on their beliefs and not think too hard on the implications as it involves their non-white-male-wingnut “friends”.
Interestingly, Nebraska has the most refugees per capita of any state. It is why when the GOP here tried to move to limit Syrian refugees they got such a strong pushback and quickly gave up on that idea. (The GOP was using all the same fear-mongering tactics here: how do we know there isn’t a terrorist in the group, &c.)
You really shouldn’t feel better, though, because he’s obviously lying.

That is actually interesting to me. Minnesota has a very strong refugee contigent, comprised primarily of refugees from Somalia during the African wars. As you can expect, that’s part of the reason why the wild north country has no truck with the Tangerine Wankmaggot and his mountains of bullshit.
re: #246 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
There was actually an incident a couple of years ago where some Somali refugees left Minnesota for terrorist training camps. And yet, our cities are still sanctuary cities, and we still keep an open door for refugees. Perhaps because we’re not completely heartless. Those Canadians must be a bad influence on us. ////

Two and half inches is a pretty small fist. Maybe they are already on the Trump system.
Bullets are supposed to be aerodynamic. That’s why they’re moving almost as fast when they hit the target as when they’re fired.
Any wind strong enough to push those petals (for lack of a better term) out to make a daisy cutter is also strong enough to rip them completely off. On top of that, the huge increase in surface area creates enough friction to slow it way down.
It looks more like a “let’s see if we can market non-working bullets to wingnuts” kind of grift.

One interesting thing about Minnesota and refugees: We are home to the largest population of two different refugee groups. Somalis are one, and they form the backbone of our taxi driver corps (which can be scary at times!). The other is the Hmong, from China and Thailand. Minnesotans are good people when it comes to welcoming strangers from foreign shores. Others might do well to follow our example.

SNL had a great sketch following the Beyoncé SB stuff. The day Beyoncé became black. It kind of showed humorously how most White Americans can embrace PoC but they don’t want those people reminding them how they’re different. It’s why Michael Jordan is beloved by white Americans while someone like Lebron James gets the skeptical eye.

That’s exactly who I was thinking of. He was well liked before he spoke out. Saw Jim Jordan crying earlier about how the left admires Kap and hates Kavanaugh. Maybe because one of them isn’t a suspected criminal and all he did was make you feel uncomfortable.

Of course he did. Then they realized how bad it sounds, so they had him tweet this, thinking surely that the FBI would follow the written order and pay no attention to a tweet.

He kinda did write it—the episode The Whole Truth—complete with beer.
This, as the banner already has proclaimed, is Mr. Harvey HunnicutBrett Kavanaugh, an expert on commerce and con jobs, a brash, bright, and larceny-loaded wheeler and dealer who, when the good Lord passed out a conscience, must have gone for a beer and missed out…As a matter of fact, in just a few moments, they’ll give Harvey HunnicutBrett Kavanaugh something that he’s never experienced before. Through the good offices of a little magic, they will unload on Mr. HunnicutKavanaugh the absolute necessity to tell the truth. Exactly where they come from is conjecture, but as to where they’re heading for, this we know, because all of them - and you - are on the threshold of the Twilight Zone.
