HRC told WV/OH voters your coal jobs aren't coming back... Trump lied and said they were coming back... the coal jobs are not back...
There is the adage... hurt me with the truth, don't comfort me with a lie...
Who is the fool? HRC or the Trump voter thinking his coal job is back...

But the real issue now isn't uranium availability, it's the political feasibility of nuclear power.
If nuke power were politically feasible, thorium would certainly be a good fuel component for a modern, new-tech reactor.

Its a losing battle Checklist, but I admire your perserverence.

If you are scared of that, maybe you should just sit in your bomb shelter and polish your guns. I hear the liberals are coming after them.
Also yes, the democrats are making strides to restrict gun rights.

If she’d just had the restraint to pass on the “deplorables” comment at a fundraiser where everyone was going to support her anyway in a State she was going to win overwhelmingly anyway, but she didn’t and she offended enough people who otherwise might have voted for her - or at least simply stayed home - to put him over the top. But instead of simply being respectful she had to demean a bunch of people in an era where everyone has a videcamera in their pocket.
So who was the fool? My vote’s on Hillary.
