    Ever notice most spending bills are done at the last minute? Do you know why that is?

    Hint look up debt ceiling.

    He also has no power, which makes me wonder why the right insists on using him as a scare tactic and a punching bag.

    This thread is bogus click bait.

    Nice font usage. The guy who has no power came close to being the most powerful man in the world....until the DNC bent him over a barrel and the little coward said "yes please". He is also advising decomposing Joe, a guy the left says will easily defeat Trump.

    People who live under Big Bad Government rule should support all tax cuts, and oppose all new spending. Theoretically spending paid for out of program cuts can be justified.
    In the real world that never happens.

    "In a country, too, where, though the rich, or the owners
    of large capitals, enjoy a good deal of security, the poor, or the
    owners of small capitals, enjoy scarce any, but are liable, under the
    pretence of justice, to be pillaged and plundered at any time by the
    inferior mandarins, the quantity of stock employed in all the different
    branches of business transacted within it, can never be equal to what
    the nature and extent of that business might admit. In every different
    branch, the oppression of the poor must establish the monopoly of the
    rich, who, by engrossing the whole trade to themselves, will be able to
    make very large profits."

    For instance: Walmart/Target/Amazon/Dominoes/McDonalds are open and thriving.
    "Small capitals" are dying. What a surprise! ;-)

    Yes, but many Sanders supporters will vote for Trump - again. :)

    Sanders has no power aside from having his hand stuck up Biden's backside and turning him in to one of Jeff Dunham's puppets.

    Your statement calls for the operation of the mind and is false. One needs not to be scared to observe common ideology. Its no secret that the left wants to take more money and put more people on meds. The right wants to take less money, but still put more people on meds.

    If you support a political party, you're probably on meds!

    Because Trump? Obviously, they will support Biden, since Sanders supports him and asked them to do so when he dropped out of the race. Don't make something out of nothing.

    Horse pucky.

    1. Bernie isn't a Democrat.
    2. He lost in the primaries, end of subject.

    If the votes aren't there, and they weren't, drop out and move along. The DNC didn't need to do anything. Voters spoke loud and clear. You righties and your conspiracy theories ... you're getting this stuff directly from Moscow.

    ACA (Obamacare) gave pharm companies record profits while Americans continued to get fatter and sicker. Recently, Trump announced a plan to make these products more affordable.

    Im surprised you didn't know that.
