It was a bad position! Still is!

Less trump than I would have imagined. And it kinda looks like he tried to peel the one trump sticker off and then gave up on it after giving it a half hearted attempt.

I know some red loving folks will Find my following sentiment crazy but …

I think that is a deal all Americans should enjoy. A livable wage, a secure pension and quality healthcare for life seems like something all citizens of a rich and successful country should enjoy.

I would vote to elect more representatives who would vote to ensure those things for all of us.

I do enjoy those benefits and it’s a great thing for me and my family. I wish it for everyone of my fellow citizens.

OK. You get the last word! I am blocking you though.

You’re right. Thanks for the pep talk. I am going to spend time looking at funny kids and adorable cats before work.

Not that’s a different story! However? Having to explain it three times slowly does kill a joke.

I just looked up the source you mentioned.

“The average member saw his or her net worth increase by an average of 15.4 percent per year.”

As I said there were some egregious examples but on average I am not too worried about 15%. My net worth went up more than that and is higher than many of their top 100 offenders.

Money has no place in politics and we should fight to have Citizens United reversed.

But to say that every politician is an evil money grabber with no interest to serve her community is ignorant.

Have a good day and good luck!

I refer you to my comment from two hours ago. A reading strategy that works for some is to read it aloud. Slowly. Twice if needed.

Some do. Some don’t. It’s just like police. Some are corrupt. Some are not.

If any of that were true, it still does not make him a corrupt politician only motivated by greed. It makes him someone whose actions you don’t agree with.

It’s undeniable, except perhaps in the outermost echo chambers, that Bernie is a man who stands for something other than his own financial interests.

I tried to explain the joke. I can’t possibly explain it any simpler.

Trump is mentally ill. Biden is not. I was making a joke that you must be one of those fools that insist trump is the rightful president if you are accusing a president of having a mental illness since it is clear that Biden is not mentally ill.

Bernie Sanders.

It’s called nuance. There are all types of people and all kinds of things motivate them. I believe most people are good and I assume that people come from a good place until their actions prove otherwise.

Stereotypes and prejudice against people based on one aspect of their identify is harmful to all even the person holding those beliefs.

I am convinced that you wrote this from your mom’s damp basement eating snacks paid for by your disability check.

That is so cynical and immature. Try not making blanket statements about any group of people. Sure there are corrupt public servants but that is not their defining characteristic. Your simplistic view makes the world worse.

Didn’t Al call for Hillary Clinton to be shot and killed? Al is a maniac and an embarrassment to public servants everywhere.

Stacie’s stated platform is to help those who suffer with mental illness and strengthen schools.

But people can’t afford to give away their time. That means you only get the wealthy who can afford to represent you. Serving in the federal government is hardly a “cash cow.” Senators make $193,000. A nice salary but solidly middle class.

Will you finally accept that trump lost already?!

To be fair, maybe this guy can’t spell or be civil. It could be that he’s just not op bright and very angry. Give him the benefit of the doubt.
