    Bernie all the way.  I love him, love his policies and passion.  A true alternative to the status quo of "Republicans lite " .  Far too many politicians  today talk of being " in the middle"  which is not much different to the corporate politicians and press that truly run things. 

    I love Bernie too.

    Agreed! #BernieBeatsTrump 

  3. Anyone else a political nerd like me and watching any of drumpf’s Impeachment Trial? It’s turning into a freakin circus. Last night at least 12 GOP Senators left the chamber! At the start of the trial, the Sergeant At Arms said no talking and everyone must remain seated throughout the trial, unless during a recess, “under penalty of imprisonment”. Some more GOP and 1 Democratic Senator left. Nothing done about it. Chief Justice Roberts just sits there. Why have rules when none are followed? 🤬

    The economy is doing well under Trump because Obama set him up for success. I can't begin to imagine the state of this country if Trump had been handed the mess Bush left behind. The economy stayed on a pretty steady incline during the entire Obama presidency. Trump should bow at Obama's feet (where he belongs) because "the economy" is the only jewel in "his" crown.

    It's funny because I never hated Trump before this. His rotten, selfish attitude was perfect for reality TV....I found him quite funny actually. Too bad he didn't stay in his own lane. Politics isn't (well, wasn't) the place for that type of nonsense. 

    The Federal Reserve may be using quantitative easing to pump up the economy too.

    There are factors extrinsic to Obama explaining why the Trump economy is so juiced, but they're not particularly good news, as they're measures the government usually keeps in its back pocket for periods of recession, like enormously increased amounts of deficit spending for stimulatory purposes and interest rates kept incredibly low rather than slowly brought back up to levels befitting a stronger economy (and public harassment of/threats against the Federal Reserve chair to keep it that way, along with a stated desire by Trump for negative interest rates at this point in time).

    Treat a recovery period like a recession and the next recession will be delayed, but magnitudes worse and more prolonged than otherwise because the tool box has been emptied out rather than resupplied.

    Quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve is a fake fix that will collapse at some point. Basically fiat currency money from nothing...and chicks for free......

  6. These koalas bears struggling and dying are too much. A billion animals dead. It’s just beyond any words I have. Tears and emotions overtake everything. It’s unimaginable people just make this a political thing. It’s the environment, stupid! Climate change is now and these bozos are denying it because some idiot on TV tells them it’s “arson” 🤦‍♀️

    Lies lies, excuses

    Killing a foreign high ranking official abroad, with zero legal international mandate constitutes in fact a declaration of war. The UN is officially dead. Iraq part Deux, Libya, Syria etc etc have taught nothing to the mighty West have they. Keep machoing and butchering your way through the world with ZERO second planning whatsoever

    Iran was on the cards just like all the other Middle Eastern countries attacked unilaterally and illegally by all International standards (with the occasional help of the UK) long before 9/11 even "happened"

    Meanwhile, keep pouring money into sick Saudi Arabia, Israel, the US and the UK that is. It's just crazy

    UN has been impotent for a while.
