Bernie Defends Comments He Made About Fidel Castro

Chicago’s violence, while bad, is actually massively overblown by conservatives who only care about desperately trying to use it for political “points”. We’ve also seen plenty of loud-mouthed blowhards come and go. Because of that, we are well aware of the usual tactics narcissistic thugs use to get morons riled up and eager to support them by screaming about “building a wall” and “locking up” various opposing politicians.

Yeah, nobody here is going to vote for the folks who wrap themselves in the Confederate flag and talk about how they like people who “didn’t get captured”. I know that infuriates you lot in the cult of Trump. You are just going to have to get over it.

I can see now why such hatred for Blago. Going to be interesting when the shoe is on the other foot

BREAKING: Blago set to Expose Obama’s Dirty Little Secret… This is HUGE | Outraged Patriot

So the problems in Chicago with all the murders is a fabrication by Conservatives? What is it in your DNA that prevents you from admitting when wrong. I spent 17 years in and around Chicago and know the corruption there, corruption that you want to ignore but are going to be told once again. Cult followers are truly radicals supporting today's Democratic Party where it is always someone else's responsibility to pay for your personal responsibility issues

Ever hear of Robert Byrd?? What party did he represent?? There obviously is something in the liberal ideology that creates an inability to be objective and admit when wrong. Bernie Sanders is wrong on the issues and people like you are always ignoring reality

The hypocrisy you espouse is incredible...look in the mirror.
When you can figure out you have been conned by Trump let us know...until then you have ZERO credibility

When you figure out that results matter let me know? Results do matter, results you want to ignore because of the liberal ideology where someone else is to fund your personal responsibility issues. you have no understanding of the taxes you pay or their purpose nor any idea what Bernie Sanders really stands for a rhetoric trumps reality in the liberal world. How does Bernie pay for his programs?

These are what cons a lot of Americans today-ACTUAL RESULTS

GDP and Dollar growth

2017 19,918.9 +927.0
2018 20,897.8 +978.9
2019 21734.3 +836.5

Then there is this which Trump inherited and the comparison today. Anyone that claims the GDP growth now is similar to what Obama had is the true hack and totally has no credibility

Unemployment Rate 4.7% January 2017 vs. 3.6% today

Employed 152.2 million January 2017 to 157.9 million today so 6 million job growth from 2008 to 2017(146 million to 152 million) is celebrated but 6.7 million growth I the last two years isn't!! LOL

U-6 in January 2017 9.3% vs 6.9% today? Wow!! 2.4% better U-6 obviously meaningless to you

Part time for economic reasons, 5.7 million January 2017 vs. 4.2 million today? Looks to me that incredible job growth you claim was boosted by part time jobs

African American unemployment 8.0% vs. 6.0% today? That explains the surge in support from African Americans for Trump

Except, the Senate recently voted "their conscience" and fixed our current Standard of ethical and moral behaviour by the current administration.

Some on the left won't go, without guarantees that any future denial or disparagement of the authority of the House regarding oversight or impeachment will result in automatic impeachment of and removal of that high office for, that high crime and misdemeanor.

"Outraged Patriot"? Yeah, I don't think you could have picked a less credible source if you'd actively tried.

Blago had been in jail for almost a decade before your hero decided to spring him, and desperately wanted out long before now. If he'd actually had any "dirty secrets" to spill, he would have done so long ago.

This reeks of nothing more than idiotic Obama hatred from a Trump cultist who is still desperately grasping at straws to justify their obsession with him.

The Trump cult has no room to try and lecture anyone about corruption, and considering how Trump has spent the last four years desperately trying to avoid any sort of personal responsibility whatsoever--constantly invented new and more elaborate conspiracy theories about "deep states" to justify his own failings---that the rest of your post is equally hypocritical.

Appalachia has been deeply conservative for a long while now, is dirt poor, has plenty of crime, and has no prospects for change any time soon since coal isn't coming back.

But hey, at least they have the cult to warm their hearts.

Tell that to the people who voted in 10-12-14-16 giving the House to Republicans and 14-16 the Senate, and 16 the Presidency. Tell that to the almost 7 million new taxpayers created in 3 years and the 1.5 million fewer under employed. Trends may matter to you but they don't put food on the table, clothes on the backs and a roof over head, keeping more of what you earn and good quality jobs do

Yes, corrupt Chicago and you have the gall to tell others what to think? LOL, what is idiotic are people whose ideology continues to be destroyed by actual results. You are a closet socialist who would destroy the greatest economy in the world because of a multi millionaire public servant from the small state of Vermont with no significant accomplishments at any time during his career and proposing a "free lunch" for people like you incapable of competing in the private sector.

Trump hasn't managed to achieve any "actual results". He has managed to humiliate himself and his cult though...over and over and over again. Your little rant being case in point there. Trump pardoning Blago shows that you can't talk about corruption anyway,.

Like I said before.....you lot really can't seem to handle the fact that nobody here is going to vote for a party which wraps itself in the Confederate flag and screams about how brutal dictators like Putin aren't so bad.

Posts like yours shows what is wrong with this country and the education system especially in Chicago. You have no understanding of the private sector and buy what you are being told. Does nothing for your credibility but does show why you need a massive central gov't to provide for the personal responsibility items you need. Trump's personality is one of CEO, something you will never understand. Bernie is definitely your candidate but like with all other socialist supporters you will always remain in the minority. The results that you claim Trump hasn't generated has given him a 56% approval rating for those results. I assume you aren't in that 56%

According to the report, low-wage workers make up a huge part of the workforce. A staggering amount of people—over 53 million; 44% of all workers ages 18 to 64 in the U.S.—earn low hourly wages.

LOL, tell that to the 56% of Americans who approve of the job Trump is doing on the economy. You want to see poor quality jobs, look at the under employed under Obama, 5.7 million of them when he left office, 4.3 million today. Keep posting articles that defy official results.

What is it about liberalism that creates people like you?

If you mean 'conservative' in thee sense that they voted Democrat all those years then you'd be right. Didn't do them much good so they had the good sense to finally change. Chicago should do the same. What have they got to lose?

That has more truth in it than falsity. The good news is that he didn't point out Trump's good friend, Kim, as having the highest literary rate in the world.

That is your opinion but as usual you offer nothing to support your claims just continue to want to provoke responses and getting attention
