Bernie Sanders Just Gave His Best Speech in 2 Years
I had to look up the word tsuris.
It was a new one on me as well! It’s going in my scrabble/words with friends knowledge bank!
i definitely would have chosen a different part of the speech to highlight. not much has been proven as to how much Russia tried to “undermine” our whatever, and we should be included in any damning of them. And in a way, we were, in the rest of the speech. I just think singling out Russia is not a good idea right now. Let’s talk with them for awhile, not use them as props in speeches.
But, I’ll take it, happily, and remember that Pierce is one of those “let’s blame Russia” guys.
And yeeehaw Bernie!
Yes! I had kind of given up on Charles P. Pierce to be honest. Felt like he’d gone to the dark side. 😉
So is was surprising to read this from him.

Bernie Sanders: U.S. ‘Complicit’ In Israeli Occupation
Our Bad Foreign Policy
“Sanders attacked the shibboleths of the foreign policy elite”
Back to the dictionary!
‘shibboleth’
(Another word, along with ‘tsuris’, with a Hebrew origin that I am learning today)
I’m still a bit in shock that Bernie had the audacity to bring up various CIA ‘campaigns’.
p.s ‘audacity’ word origin apparently is from Latin.

Healthcare is a human right
Is Health Care A Commodity Or Right?
Easy one. Healthcare is not just a Right, but the Essential One. I never can figure out how anyone with a functioning brain could disagree. Hope you all in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area had a good weekend! 🙂 T and R to the usual suspects!!
“Medicare for all” could be cheaper than you think
Why California Is Bernie Sanders’ And Progressives’ Big Battleground For Universal Health Care
CA-OR-WA is a very interesting, progressive tri-state area. Single payer/MFA could easily launch from there if it could only get a foothold.
Be still my beating heart.
You may want to wait for a passage of such legislation before you say words like that!
LOL. Yes, got a little excited there. :O) Sounds like you’re feeling better?
Better than last week for sure! Pretty sure I slept 80% of the past 4-5 days.

I’m going to indulge in my very first ‘what if’ related to Senator Sanders.
If Bernie were President, help would be all over Puerto Rico right now with Bernie making the secret service nervous by flying down there to help hand out water.

I listened to the Bucs-Vikings game on radio, and the protest was no big deal. It didn’t cause any trouble nor game disruption. I really detest the corporate media. All they do is ramp up trouble. They’re as useless as tits on a boar hog (old family saying–LOL).
worse. killers, along with their masters/cronies.

Gosh, maybe there’s an alternative, like, I don’t know, we bring in the best solar panel makers from around the world and help existing factories here and start a few new ones so that we become more competitive?
And, oh yeah, maybe keep our campaign promise to do all we can to buy America?
