    You've shown evidence because those are the drugs that have been found. The ones getting in have not been found.....well duh!

    Democrats didn’t squash him at all. It’s no more then Elisabeth Warren quilting the race so her voters go to Bernie. The easiest way for two people to get to 50% plus, is to only have two people in the race. Until everyone decides that “rank choice voting” is the best way to determine a winner while still keeping everyone in the race, we’ll always have a two person race. It’s math.

    Why don’t you find someone further back in time to read. Today’s world requires more social ideas, not fewer.

    Why don’t you grow your own food, make your own car and develop your own cell phone by yourself. Then tell us what common sense is ...from the time you wake up, you are dependent upon society.

    You claim to be a contractor. That’s a societal enterprise. You are totally dependent upon others for the work....and totally dependent upon a government from the time you wake up till you sleep.

    I addressed private property ownership. You just failed to read it.
    Liberals I know value personal rights and freedoms way more then conservatives do.

    I didn't say that. I said I was tired of answering your questions and I am.

    I attended private schools but didn't pay for them personally. I don't care what the federal mandates are.

    Of course. It could have been paid by a township.....it’s still paid for by the government which is tax payers money. You may not care but just pretending there are none because you’re unaware doesn’t make it true.

    No it was paid by my father. Private means private, not public or government.

    Wrong. Private schools in many states including ours get public funding from townships that don’t have high schools, and are not in school unions.
    Some states like a Vermont even allow school choice and pay vouchers for tuition to private schools.

    That's fine with me as long as it is state or local government.

    So, you don’t think state and local governments get grants
    huh ?
    https://www.startgrants.com/grants-for-private-schools-k-12.php

    This is just one of many grants from the feds to not only public, but private schools. It’s in the billions.

    Not only that, but states like Vermont who who help pay tuition costs for public OR PRIVATE schools can only do so by fund shifting with federal grants coming in for other purposes,

    Lefties feel, not think .....it’s why y’all support feel good measures that often do more harm than good to those they are suppose to help....it’s why you want a nanny state, so you feel safe...its why your feelings are triggered and your offended at the wrong word or hat...all feeling and not a lot of thinking..thus the term bleeding heart liberal....

    Righties think, keeping feelings in check

    I’m voting Trump, I feel like he is a jerk, but I also think he’s been a very good POTUS. I feel like Bernie is a good guy who really wants to help others, but I think his methods to do so are destructive to all of us. If I were voting on feelings I would vote Bernie, but I’m not.

    Federal grants to state and local governments are pure corruption. By the way, what I consider inappropriate above is federal funds going to another taxing authority.

    I am not at all familiar with the words "woo woo"; nor do I have any idea of just what you might mean by that.

    In any case, you might want to try actually refuting what I said--rather than launching a personal attack.

    Look up woo woo. It’s a legitimate comment on people who use scientific sounding words and ideas when they don’t have the credentials or the references to back it up. Though initially applied to mysticism, it’s ligit to all prevarications that are unscientific in any areas.
    Woo woo
    “unconventional beliefs regarded as having little or no scientific basis, especially those relating to spirituality, mysticism, or alternative medicine.”

    So yes, I hear lots of woo woo when denying ligit science.

    I was raised to respect those who were truthful in life and completely disregard scam artists who have a history of lying for their own benefit. But that’s just me. Bernie is consistent and you know where he stands, Trump is a criminal. He has paid fines and restitution to avoid conviction in order to avoid prosecution and stay out of jail; that’s what our justice system allows.
    I have never voted for a criminal and that includes Wild Bill, Nixon or anyone else.

    You think Trump is a good president?
    I am conservative and I am telling you he's the worst president America has ever had.
    What would Nixon think of Trump?
    What would Kennedy think of Trump?
    What would Lincoln think of Trump?

    Though we may disagree politically, that was well said. I have a rule. If I feel anyone, federally, state of local candidate whom I agree with politically but is dishonest, they don’t get my vote. I have been writing in other people when allowed for decades.

    Yes I am telling you he is a good POTUS.

    I really don't think what any of those men would think of Trumps performance matters, entirely different world.

    This is the most searing indictment of a president in my life time (and I have followed
    presidents since the JFK days)
