    Unhealthy vices? Haven't heard that one before. I think what we have here is Black Lives matter, Soro paid Anarchists and extreme leftists against Nazis, white nationalists and extreme rightists. Who's guilty? Whoever threw a punch, spit on somebody, sprayed somebody with a chemical, caused property damage or in anyway was involved in disruption. The person who drove that car and anyone involved in that should be tried for murder. The police and city officials did a lousy job.

    All I could think about as the weekend unfolded and listening to all the talking heads was the song - "Sunshine" by Jonathon Edwards.

    If Sanders had been the nominee in 2016 then Trump would have been a zero term president.

    Clinton was the worst candidate the Democrats had and the Democrats ran a woeful campaign but Trump still lost the popular vote almost three million votes.

    When I used to watch Sanders making speeches on the campaign trail he always came across as a bit deranged to me. I still say Trump was the best candidate and, in the event, the best choice.

    Much more believable than Sanders beating Trump in a general election

    No body wants Bernie's brand of socialism.

    Wrong, cooperate business doesn’t want socialism at any cost.

    We can't afford adding social programs anymore.

    Really?? You never tire of reminding us how great Trumps America is the richest nation in the world, oh I see you mean for the top 2% and stuff the rest.

    Think of the working people, they can hardly make ends meet now.

    I am and socialism is their only hope of a better life.

    And the federal government can't even balance its budget, heaping on debt.

    You could stop giving massive handouts to billionaires, adding to the mass of never used military equipment rusting away in the desert compounds, increasing the fare for the passengers on the gravy trains; do you want me to carry on?

    We've run out of other people's money.

    I take it you mean the Koch brothers and their like, who have been screwing American’s for decades. Wherever did you get the understanding that socialism gives free handouts? No, it’s not a charity, everything has a cost but that cost is distributed fairly amongst the whole population. If you think that is the norm of the America of today you are sadly mistaken, not to say totally brainwashed by cooperate propaganda.

    This might come as a shocking surprise to you, but the means of production can be seized at any moment by the working class. It's literally on sale at Home Depot

    Oh come on you, can do better than that. That never happened to France even after the Reign or Terror and establishment of the living wage in England brought about cries that it would bring about mass unemployment, never happened.
    You don’t get off the gravy train if it slows down a bit.

    So how can the industrial countries of Europe pay for them and 'The Richest Nation of the World' cannot?

    Oh my goodness!!! This is the first time I've encountered the mandela effect for myself. I remember reading news stories, and listening to it on the radio, about how France set a 70% tax rate on the rich and they all moved out of France.

    But I looked it up and can't find a single news story about it anywhere and it turns out that France ruled the tax increase unconstitutional in like 2012 or 2013, so none of that ever happened.

    Wow, now I definitely think we live in a different universe from where I came from.

    I'm betting a year from now we'll be talking about President Pence.

    As much as that prospect troubles me, it would be relief at this point.

    Could you give some examples of some countries where this has worked. There about 330 million Americans and about 30 million illegals in America. What would my share be so I can start planning my retirement.

    Bernie is a disgusting person for attacking a christian in a job interview. I love him as a human being but I don't have to support his actions and I will never vote for him for a president. He needs to take his demonizing attitude and just go away. He had his chance and it's time for him to move on.

    They cant that is why they are having so many budget problems. Look at Cyprus, look at Greece. Even the Nordic states are looking to make large changes because it is not sustainable.

    Of course. Can you give me your estimated impeachment day so I can screen shot it and then revisit this? I've done this with a few of your friends so far, it's really fun

    As should have been obvious from my commentary, I have no idea. As is obvious from your reply, you are nervous that I might be correct.

    Why are you refusing to give me your best educated guess? It can't be that hard, the election is less than 4 years away so base your guess off that.
