He hasn't announced the end of his campaign yet. I think he's just Stalin.

He can't stray too far from the bathroom. He has a bad case of the trotsky.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Funny. I don't think he will announce right now. He fully intends to be on stage during the next debate. I think it will be interesting to see how the others treat him then and if they pounce on it as a way of saying he is not fit, physically, for the job. I think those who are in trouble in the polls may but I don't see Biden using it against him because he is no spring chicken and his health has been mentioned too. I have also been thinking that there will be a surprise Democratic candidate announce before the end of the year. I have no basis for this feeling and it most likely won't happen but I just have a feeling there is someone waiting in the wings who will come out and say I am the one candidate who can unite the party and bring us a win next year. Who that may be, I haven't a clue..
Maybe he just is Lennon a hand to the DNC.

That would be bad if that Perestroika at the wrong time.

When these things happen to republicans/Conservatives, Democrats/Liberals open cheer and celebrate online.
When it happens to a far left-winger? Nothing.
I absolutely detest the man and everything he stands for. At least as much as Screen Glare/Tc Talks hate(s) Trump. But his having a heart attack makes me feel kinda bad for him and I hope he pulls through. Too bad when Bush had his medical problems, he didnt get the same respect.

Luckily the rather impressive sales of his book have ironically put him in the top 1%.

I disagree. Anyone with even a shred of decency will set aside their politics to wish an opponent well.

I know of only one person who wouldn't and he has no decency at all.

When Bush had his heart attack, the stuff being said was disgusting. Even scarier was the amount of cheerful posts. Same with the Koch brother that recently died. Thats where America is now. I notice it much more from 1 side than the other. Maybe its just me or one side is less candid about it and where they express themselves. Maybe its hyperbolic and im missing it.
I see people on social media telling others to "kill yourself". Unfortunately, i ended up getting caught up in that myself. Mostly to talk to over the top, nasty people whom I question could engage in a conversation or understand one without playing in the mud.
When i say that crap, its because the person im talking to is upping their viciousness game. But I have boundaries. I dont revel in actual harm occurring to anyone.
I will say this. When that maniac Bernie supporter shot up a ballfield full of Republicans, people were emailing Republican reps and Senators saying "i wish he shot you,too" and going on social media saying how they wish there were more victims. Bernie himself had a very strong statement condemning the actions. As much as I disagree with him and now fear many of his supporters, I do believe Sen. Sanders is a man of peace. I dont think he means harm to anyone. And therefore, he deserves that respect in return.

The Bloc Quebecois is one of five parties in Canada's Parliament. Their goal and objective is to tear Canada apart. So they don't have many friends outside their own ranks.

When Party leader, Lucien Bouchard, contracted a flesh eating disease, Doctors had to amputate his leg to save his life. While he was in the hospital, he was visited by members of all parties. He received hundreds of cards and letters from ordinary Canadians wishing him well.

Bouchard was very touched by this outpouring of good will. After he was recovered, he returned to Parliament. But he had lost his stomach for what his party was trying to do. He retired short time later.

Bernie should not continue his stint - with stents. He maybe could have without the myocardial infarction. But a heart attack at his age is a campaign ender. For sure.

I hope he realizes he’s put in enough time chasing the presidency, leaves the other stress - from the Senate - behind, too, and figures out a path to personal fulfillment that’s stress free.

If he doesn’t heed his body’s warning signs - he’s a fool.

Just calm down and get away from it all, Bernie. You’ve earned it.

If you’re a politician or a political party that in general comes off as uncaring, selfish, and greedy - most people won’t feel sorry when something bad happens to you. It may seem like justice.

If you’re a politician or a political party that in general comes off as caring, unselfish, and charitable - most people will feel sorry when something bad happens to you. It may seem unfair.

I believe it’s called human nature.

Of course there are those rare souls who are magnanimous -offering sincere well wishes to all humans who are going through health challenges. And some who even offer their sincere best wishes if the challenge is bankruptcy, a natural disaster, or some kind of competitive loss.

Well, I believe its worse than uncarung or greedy to support an overbearing government that tells privately owned enterprises or those owned by privately held shares that they must forcibly give up their money so said government can redistribute it according to their agenda. I think a government controlling health care and making health decisions for patients is immoral and scary. I think inadequately taking terrorism threats seriously is immoral. I think wanting to blatantly usurp existing immigration laws and Constitutional amendments on firearms is immoral. But I wish no physical harm on Sanders, O'Rourke, Warren, Harris et al.
When it comes to morals, its largely opinion-based these days. Sorry. You dont have any more moral a high ground than me. You dont get a free pass at reveling in the illness or death of someone on the other side. Your morals are opinion based and not fact.
Fail.

F minus, Y M Ionhere.

Those born human - suffering poverty, sickness, war, natural disasters, injustice, slavery, hunger, deadly cold or heat, unsafe living conditions, the illness of addiction, mental illness, no education, unemployment, climate change refugees, etc. are a moral societies’ high priority.

I didn’t notice Jesus waiting for sharing with the poor and lame - to “trickle down.”

And your line about - morals being - these days - opinion-based -
is weak justification to continue with all the unbridled greed.

Folly. Shame. And more and more a uniquely USA problem. Compared to other countries within the free world.

From a guy whose preferred party wants to tax companies out of existence and eliminate entire industries, thus recklessly creating more poverty and unemployment, while talking about the immorality of the conditions their policies result in.
Thanks for trying, but youre argument is too fundamentally flawed to give it a pass.
Wait....i just saw you mentioned slavery... Last I checked that has been illegal since the 1800s....where did that example come from?

You’re talking about solutions to mitigate climate change. Without ever mentioning climate change. The solutions to climate change seem radical, because climate change IS radical.

And if you’re a climate change deny guy - consider the US military. All their future planning for troop movements, combat around the world, transporting equipment and weaponry, etc has climate change figured into the mix. Why? Because they’re science guys. They want to survive.

Regarding slavery now extinct? NOT. Maybe you should read something and become educated on the current state of slavery. Sorry to break the bad news - but slavery is alive and thriving.

Bernie likes this place, maybe he should have went there for medical treatment:
https://www.breitbart.com/national-secu ... venezuela/

Of course Bernie is criticizing Warren for her capitalism...we all know that Warren is disingenuous, but Socialism is worse than Capitalism though. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bernie- ... d=66217140

Let do the math:
Bernie = Socialist Fool
Warren = Socialist Advocate but really a Personal Capitalist (like Chavez).

I think Warren is more dangerous that Bernie. She is the Justin Trudeau of the US.
