Politics Looks like Bernie sanders is feeling his own Bern

If you read the Iraq section, Joe clearly outlines his mistakes and how he was fooled by evidence the Bush admin put forth as truth. He's an experienced and knowledgeable guy

I'm good on Biden. We need a bigger change than that.

Buy stock, raise some rabble.

One share gets you into the shareholder meeting.

Not everyone can do that. And why one would want to invest in a company or industry they think should be eliminated is silly.

 

[dviss1]

Just calling a spade a spade. you can't be all "Oh man, fuck the 1% they are all greedy assholes". Then when you find out you are part of the global 1% you're all like "well, that's different, I'm compassionate for the needs of the poor!"

This is just silly. It costs much more to be poor in this country.

It is not silly.

You can bitch and whine or you can buy ONE share and go bitch and whine and maybe convince the other shareholders you are right. Doubtful

If you judge Nixon as war criminal for bombing cambodia (and laos), then you should judge Biden (Obama) the same way for bombing Pakistan. Both used the same reasoning for the bombing - the enemy attacks in country (Vietnam/Afghanistan) and then runs and hides across the border.

Not non sequitur.

No one was arguing that Nixon was a war criminal. Or if they were, I missed it. I think you brought up Nixon?

Some people think Ben Franklin was made of green cheese. By that standard, Rand Paul is made of green cheese.

When was the last time someone that owned 1 share in a public company was able to change the direction of the company? Probably never.

Also, not all corporations are publicly traded.

The ones dviss1 is interested in eviscerating are publicly traded.

At least there isn't a monopoly on health insurance like there would be with single payer. You can choose to switch companies if you don't like the one you've got.

Unless it's an Obama promise, then it's a lie.

So now you are replacing Nixon with Bush? I don't think anyone in this thread accused Bush of being a war criminal, either. In fact this thread isn't about war crimes at all, despite your efforts.

No, barfo. The morons that are calling Bush, Cheney, and Nixon war criminals aren't calling Obama and Biden war criminals, too.

It really isn't that hard to fathom.

The notion of Biden running for president did arise in this thread.

That isn't too hard to fathom also.

Or maybe it is for you.

Yes, I understand your point. I don't see what it has to do with this thread. You are the only one here talking about war criminals.

Because Biden is one.

Not a good choice:
1. Plagiarist
2. Buffoon
3. Utterly wrong on Iraq, ISIS, which is supposed to be his expertise
4. War criminal

 

[barfo]

Because Biden is one.

4. War criminal

Ok, so let me see if I got this straight.

Morons think that Bush, Cheney, Nixon are war criminals.
Biden is a war criminal using the same standards.
You believe Biden is a war criminal.

Hard not to draw a certain conclusion here...

Most of the candidates are war criminals since they cast votes supporting the invasion/bombing/blockading of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan...

Fiorina has the added cachet of treason, since she illegally sold computer parts to Iran.

It seems SlyPokerDog is the moron, or just incredibly dense.

I don't think Biden is a war criminal. Those who think Bush/Cheney are SHOULD. Goose, gander. Same standard for similar actions.

At least you figured out that Biden is a war criminal by consistent standards applied to wartime administrations.

I wouldn't vote for Biden because he is incompetent.

Mod edit, personal insult.
