>Bernie is officially a member of the establishment

>Just noticed that.

Hate his capitalism and cronyism, but the battleline today is on destruction of nation state.

And Koch and Soros are in 100% agreement on that.

Also, cheap imported labor, etc. Lots of agreement.

Are or were.

What word should I use when one is dead and two is alive (Koch is two people, only other of them dead)?

I hope I soon get to use "were". That day will not come soon enough.

are we supposed to be upset that Sanders doesn't like speaking ill of the recently dead?

tbh people need to stop taking moral high ground

if winnie the pooh in china choked on his dinner of course people should be happy

so why shouldn't we be happy about someone dying that's been fucking our country over

They are still a person

Yeah, and people like you and me can do a crab dance all night long, but a politician is expected to at least show the appearance of mutual respect

you can hate and jeer your enemy, but its generally frowned apon to dance on their corpse before its cold

Guns are not the problem, you are the problem...

just gonna call attention to how financially stable this woman must be to waste that much money

just gonna call attention to how emotionally unstable this woman must be to waste that much money

So trump wants to nuke hurricanes to fix them.

gotta nuke something

Idk how people still take him seriously

reportedly

this is one of those “sources say” things where there’s no proof he actually said this

like the gorilla channel story

i think that might be why people take him seriously 🤔

I generally warn against showing more respect for someone/something simply to spite others who disrespect them

not out of spite, but if he says the media is fake news, and they're making stuff up about a gorilla channel, it makes Trump look better

Okay, and then he made up how much money he gave to veterans charities until people investigated and found that was bullshit, before he finally donated a piss-poor amount next to what he bragged about giving.

everything and everyone deserves scrutiny and skepticism

Maybe he's talking about his military discounts <:thunk:462282216467333140>

nope, this was on the campaign trail

Yeah I wasn't surprised when he couldn't prove it.

no one was. but my point stands.

dishonesty of one party is not proof of honesty of another simply by proxy

I was impressed that he was able to deflect the negative publicity

That does appear to be his superpower

literally no one in media talked about how he literally advocated military force used against "the families" of terrorists

so... just more terrorism

but it never stuck

he is rubber and the media is glue
