Bernie Having Some Fun

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Lastly, I'd like to review your P&L statements for the last eight quarters to make sure you aren't spending my money on cocaine and hookers.

...now wait a minute, surely, if my performance is exceptional, a small premium for my services can be paid.  

To quote the Spartan ephors: 'If.'

and try to impose a Pax Americana on a world that doesn't want it with a military that cannot do it.

I'm not sure who's more foolish, Trump himself or the idiots who believe him.

Important, because regardless of whether or not it can be done, american soldiers will spill their blood out doing what they're told.  This, from the party of the troops?  

I think not.

Do you actually understand the meaning of the word socialism or are you too Trumptarded.

It's fascinating to me how elections will turn normally nice people into something else entirely.

It's also fascinating how just because I threw a stone into the Bernie camp that automatically makes me a Trump supporter - which I'm not.

Nice ad-hom BTW

You did not throw a stone at the Bernie camp, you threw a stone at the poor, dispossessed, homeless, elderly, ill, disabled, veterans, and anyone else who might need a "social program" in their lives.  

In short, you showed you are a shallow and selfish person.  You spouted off like a Trump supporter would, even if you do not support him.

I will also willingly support my neighbors, because it behooves me to have neighbors who are cared for, not hungry, sick and desperate.  And it behooves them to do the same for me.  Plus, I just hate to know others are suffering while a little of my money could help so many.

Do you know why I don't shot at Walmart?  Because I want to support stores that pay their employees a living wage.  I am willing to pay a little extra of my own cash, so the bagboy and the produce manager can afford to live in a decent place, not a cockroach infested slum.

Be the change you want to see in the world.  It really means something!

Well said. I hate to see people dying in the streets. I also agree on avoiding certain retailers since they treat their staff like...well...shit.

Indeed. The best support our troops can get -- the support they need -- is the support the civilian leadership can give by not putting them in no-win situations any more.

Well put. At the height of the Afghan War (or maybe Iraq - these things run together in my mind), I recall seeing vid of a protest in the US where more than one person was holding a sign reading 'Support Our Troops - Bring Them Home'.

GREAT! Send me your money and I'll dish it out to those more in need than you.

Be delighted.  First, provide me with your distribution plans, coded by need, geography, type of aid.  Then, I'll need to review your organizational charts to make sure you can move my money in a reasonably effective and efficient manner.  While you're about it, outline the infrastructure you plan to use to distribute my money. 

Like any politician, I'll tell you all good things, show you good numbers, get your money, and then spend it on something else entirely.

[Spirian]

GREAT! Send me your money and I'll dish it out to those more in need than you.

Wait, are you telling me you wouldn't want your country to have stuff like Universal Healthcare....

Yes. That's what I'm saying. I shouldn't have to pay anyone's healthcare costs but my own.

[Spirian]

Bernie's got his panties in a bunch because now he'll never be able to reach into my pocket and spend my money on socialist programs. 

He's just venting - I understand.

Yeah, that money needs to go to rich corporations, and the war effort.

Yeah, because straw men are easy to erect.

I was responding to the Sanders comment. I can discuss my views on Trump if you'd like, or must I necessarily be a Trump supporter to bash Bernie? 

Surely you can see how criticizing a criticism of Trump might appear to be defending Trump, no?

I didn't criticize his criticism - I criticized him.
