Trump is still colluding with Russia to cheat in U.S. elections.

The impoverished republican party and its pitiful candidates are hoping team trump will give them some hand outs and have some kind of coattails that will help them keep their jobs.

They only become more grotesquely twisted in their surrender to the idiot clown.

The American people really need to put the republican party out of its misery.

[REDSTATEWARD]

Two election cycles after Americans re-elected a black President his democrat party has N0 blacks as a potential nominee and its two most talked about potentials are a socialist and a former republican.
The Socialist ( Bernie Sanders) is a millionaire and owns 3 houses after years of being a politician while the republican ( Michael Blumberg)has spent $460 million ( of $ 64 Billion wealth)in campaign ads but does not yet control one delegate.
Remember the democrat party identifies with the worker.
Not to mention identity politics and victimization.

Uh huh.

Hen.

Denmark.

Nailed Bernie.  Communist.

Not how NDA works.

Antifa...violence.

Kid has gone full troll.   One-liners,  no actual discussion.   My vote is to stop feeding the troll.

I took that advice about two years ago.....have not a single regret.

This guy is a little SNOT, has always been and will always be.  And you can add the guy from the land DownUnder....a complete Zero.

What does one have to do to move off zero?

Have the ability to wonder whether the person who wrote this:

The weather at sea was even "more fearful than on shore".[3] The intense heat could be felt 32 km (20 mi) out to sea where a ship came under burning ember attack and was covered in cinders and dust.[5]

was writing fiction.  The act of writing something doesn't make it believable....Start there.

It's totally believable.

I must now move from zero to plus one.

You have so far to go to get to zero from the negative numbers that I recommend you not bother trying to count.

Zzzzzzzz

Bernie botched the $$/houses answer.

1) He's been saving for all these years.
2) His wife earned a good salary for a bunch of years, too.
3) She also had an inheritance including a house and the sale of that is what enabled them to purchase the summer place.
4) "Are you, Mike Bloomberg, suggesting that I should give up all my money, just because you've devolved to a lie to deflect reasonable attacks on you?
------------

The real story on the money was how Bernie lied in 2016 about releasing his taxes, to hide that he was a millionaire. And that, then ties to his lack of honesty about releasing his "comprehensive" medical file, saying that nobody else was doing it - when he made that commitment without external pressure from other candidates.

He only supports/acts on transparency when it suits him.

But Ward? Your attacking either of them is hilarious - the only reason that kind of duplicitous, hypocritical crap flies is that your party doesn't care if you are in bed with a racist crook and with the Russians.

And neither do you.

Trump is no racist by any standard.
Nor is he in bed with the Russians.

Trump is no racist by any standard.

Oh? Clearly not by any standards you ever held….but those 5 kids he kept trying to throw in jail even after they were proven innocent in the Central Park incident might disagree.

Doesn't matter what the voter turnout is or what system one uses if the ballots are never counted:

The leading practitioner of both identity politics and victimization in the US is Donald Trump.

Yeah, sure. If you say it I’m sure it must be true...

Most politicians are millionaires, given that having a million dollars in assets no longer makes you wealthy (this I know from personal experience).  For many millionaires, it is just a matter of having one house,  some savings,  and an IRA.   It's not 1952, when a millionaire was generally someone who could buy a yacht and a second mansion.   

Anyway,  being affluent is not a substantial argument for or against a politician's position on worker rights and advancement.   If someone has an actual point about their policy ideas,  then there would be an actual discussion.   Otherwise,  zzzzzzzzz
