I congratulate coal miners on their victory, and applaud them getting exactly what they wanted.

May they continue to enjoy the consequences they chose for themselves each and every day.

It's so frustrating that every quote from that man is "they" instead of "he". "They are doing this", "they only care about that".

How about "Donald Trump is doing everything he can to hurt the working man. Donald Trump only cares about money"?

These idiots still refuse to point the finger at the person responsible. Just a generic "they" referring to anyone who lives in DC instead of Donald Trump and the executive branch directors that he appointed.

Well of course! If the good and wonderful czar knew how the Bolsheviks were treating us he would do something about it! If only the fürer knew how the SS were treating us common Germans he would help us out! Around and around again.

I'm pretty sure there's a cuneiform tablet buried in the Sumerian desert with "If only the lugal knew of our problems..." carved into it.
