kinda wish Bernie had gone to Elizabeth Warren's Financial Policy Communication Finishing School.

There's some pragmatism in his ideas for reigning in banker excesses, but he expresses them so harshly they don't penetrate the hair-filled ears of an audience who, while on paper prime beneficiaries of his assessment and response (and prime victims of failure to reign in wealth concentration), get the impression from his rhetoric that he's gonna send gummint revenoors to repossess their Barcaloungers.
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

I don't get those memes as it's the republican congress that refuses to bring any bills for spending to help vets, hell they won't even extend the first responders bill

My mother a few weeks ago(who is actually really liberal): I don't understand why we pay for healthcare for illegals while the vets don't get adequate care.

Because it's one or the other...

Trump takes commanding lead in NH after he basically blames refugees for the Paris attacks. He also wants to shut down mosques in the U.S. Nobody seems to realize that, um, the President has no authority which should be obvious. Also, the Bill of Rights for these "freedom loving" people only apply to their interests and they conveniently seem to forget about the first goddamn amendment in this instance. Another glaring example of the blatant hypocrisy shown by many on the right.

“Government was instituted among men to protect your rights, not to create rights,” Rand Paul said. “So you don’t have a right to a chair, you don’t have a right to shoes, you don’t have a right to pants, you don’t have a right to health care, you don’t have a right to water — you have a right to be free.” [...]

“Stalin killed tens of millions of people,” he continued. “They say, ‘Well, Bernie’s not gonna do that.’ Probably not.”


“You know, it doesn’t matter whether a majority takes your rights away, or whether one single authoritarian takes… So if a majoritarian, somebody who gets 51% — does anybody think slavery is less bad if a majority votes for it?” Paul asked. “So what if a democracy says: ‘We’re gonna have democratic slavery?’”

Oh please.

He said Mosques that house members on the terrorist watch lists or put out anti-west hate speech / paraphernalia need to be investigated and if they are found to be a haven for possible terrorist activities, then shut down. I'm sure the FBI is already in there undercover anyway.

France and Germany are the ones who are starting to shut down Mosques.
