I could have sworn you said Congress would “fix” healthcare if they didn’t have the good stuff

BTW - I have the good stuff too (sorta)... as do millions and millions of other people. Single payer and “medicare for all” would take that away. Maybe we’re a part of the equation too?

I was pointing out hypocrisy on Bernie’s part.

If I start saying things like “to each according to his need, from each according to his ability” then you can hoist me from that petard too

We have a # of healthcare problems in this country. But we don't have a crisis.

Good god, man are you still chirping about defending a rather dumb op-Ed piece that suggests millionaires should feel bad about supporting Medicare for all as long as they still have money?

I actually agree with the guy - do you get the point now, or do you need me to write it is crayon for you?

I agree that Bernie should make as much money as he wants, by producing a product people want, with nobody else deciding how much is enough.

The problem here is that Citizen Bernie doesn’t agree with Senator Bernie

I realize your need to defend the guy but just know that I really like losses of faith... that’s why I enjoy reading about Obama not being the magical guy we were told he was, kids finding out early there is no Santa, cathedral collapses, and Bernie thinking he’s entitled to a lot of income from his book

I do miss the mark -

though not quite as spectacularly as this

get back to fixing healthcare and leave the klam flogging to me

(and after nearly 5000 posts of Jellyjizz I’ll be as self congratulatory as I possibly can... for at least another week...)

Bernie isn't a "democratic" Socialist? I sure think I remember him saying he was, once or twice.

Just give it up, klam. Your muse is a hypocrite. It isn't that big a deal - they're a dime a dozen in Washington.

Sweden might have a case against the guy but I really hope we stay away from him. He shouldn’t be subject to our laws on espionage. He certainly isn’t the traitor. The actual traitor already got commuted.

The guy was hailed as a hero when he was sticking it to Chimpitler McCheneyburton by releasing classified stuff, but releasing not-classified stuff to go after Hillary Clinton makes him a villain.

I can't believe there are some people that think that Assange is anti-war or anti-capitalism or anti-GOP journalist.

Couldn't be more plain now he's just a mercenary willing to hack the country least likely to kill him for the country willing to pay him the most.

That, or he's some kind of anarchist that just doesn't have the guts to do to China or Russia what he does to western countries because the former isn't just going to let him camp out in an embassy for years.

He hasn’t done anything that the NYT editorial board hasn’t done.

We set a couple dangerous precedents if we go after Assange on espionage charges. Maybe we can get him for hacking, or some kind of conspiracy with the traitors MANNING and SNOWDEN. But is an American had done this to, say, Germany - we’d be rightly outraged if he was extradited to that country.

Have to agree to disagree here. I agree that espionage is a stretch, but the little fvcker shouldn’t be allowed to skate. Nail him for hacking, and let his cell mate Bubba do his worst.

In the grand hierarchy of douchebags involved in this whole fiasco, I consider Assange to be the least onerous

Remember - the Assanges of the world have zero juice without the actual traitors- the Snowdens, the Mannings, the gov workers and staffers who leak classified to the NYT, etc etc

We already said “no biggie” to Manning for his rap album... now we’re going after his label distributor? Call me nonplussed
