the military industrial complex is a form of socialism

I'm interested to hear how this is so.

Look at how well the US socialism has served retired military personnel

They have actually had a reduction in their pension over the years. Agreed, the military industrial complex is a form of socialism that needs consideration for serious reform, to start with the enormous of amount of treasury spent on "support" for dependents and retirees, instead of R&D for game changer weapon platforms. this is one of the repubs darlings, and im not a fan of it.

@serranoSocialism will never work

The US economy has done pretty well the last century or so. Same with all other countries with mixed economies, i.e. those with a mix of capitalism and socialism. Look at how well the US socialism has served retired military personnel.

The United States has a mixed economy. It works according to an economic system that features characteristics of both capitalism and socialism. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/031815/united-states-considered-market-economy-or-mixed-economy.asp

@bas4fI think the Russians think the US is incompetent...they might be right.

Thanks for honest-ing up. The global alt right is turning on the US and openly admitting to aligning with their alt right Baruhara, Putin's Russia.

There are four certainties in life.

And yet your team tries to pretend that they can get out of the latter.

Its interesting to watch how the Dems get to pick and choose their racist or sexist, all the while being the gold standard of whats "good and right"

The democrats have had some people who have said and or done some racist stuff worthy of decrying. This is different from the Republicans, whose policies are racist.

Hardly an equivalency.

National debt has increased under Trump at the same rate has under Obama.

While Obama was handed a country literally in the deepest throes of a financial collapse, and Trump was given an economy that was rolling along smoothly.

But at least the rich got a tax break, right pubbies! Whew!

So apparently Trump, who also reportedly recently learned Russia was attempting to interfere on behalf of his 2020 re-election bid, doesn't think the Sanders story is a hoax.

That’s right.

Trump is afraid to go against Bloomberg! Bloomberg

Yeah, in an Oliver Stone movie perhaps. Lol

Trump wants Bernie to win the nomination because he has a better chance of re-election.

Actually, it doesn’t mater if it’s Bernie or Bloomberg, Mike won’t be President of anything except for his own corporation.

The Russians want the same thing because they know Trump is incompetent!

I think the Russians think the US is incompetent...they might be right.

Do you think they should run on building a wall rather than bits of fence, throwing out all illegals, banning Muslims and getting rid of the debt rather than piling it on?

after watching Blooms non performance during the latest clown show dem debates, there is nothing to fear about bloom. He seemed more shook, than prepared and the audience never applauded any of his come backs.

Yes, but that was on a network that Trump and his supporters tell us nobody watches. Trump retweeted a trash meme going round the net about Bloomberg to give it more publicity ( about the level of him hitting Hillary Clinton with a golf ball but at least he wasn’t retweeting racists ).

The democrats won't be electing a Democrat. They'll be electing a socialist.

They're going to nominate a socialist, assuming Hillary doesn't jump in and steal it once again, they're not going to elect him.

Are you wealthy? It's so funny when Trump2ANRA people stick up for rich people when they themselves are below middle class. Do they have rich uncles or something?

Trump is afraid to go against Bloomberg!

It's funny when Bloomberg makes fun of Trump or his stupid kids who fear for their inheritance (they are afraid of losing all that money to a pole dancer). Remember when Bloomberg said Trump's hair looks like a dead bleached rat?

“Bloomberg needs to take down Sanders -- immediately”. Opinion piece ex Clinton guy.

Yeah its interesting to watch the CNN pundits, their Avalon guy was telling us to be careful about the Trump "support" of Bernie; its all a trap according to him.

They dont like this Bernie guy, but its the peoples choice. they dont get to pick and choose for the people. I also hope Bernie wins, Trump will just slide right in. Its very funny but kind of scary, to watch the loons tear into each other, then appeal to the uninformed and naive population with their pie in the sky promises. these people have the intellect of a houseplant, only the young mayor has any intel, he is always smirking when he challenges amy and bernie.

@blacklabewow, liberal media really hates Bernie. Just makes me like him even more.

'Liking Bernie more' is what Russian 'meddlers' want, isn't it. Interesting how susceptible some 'Americans' are to the Russian 'meddlers'. They know well the market they strive to reach, e.g. targeting the NRA and KKK, among others.

The interesting part is that the dems always leave out the mechanics of it all; how will it be paid for?

It’s unbelievable that the party which once extolled the need for fiscal conservatism stands by silently while Trump piles on the debt while the economy is good and then asks where the money is coming from to fund the spending of the opposition party.

Just do what Trump does - get the credit card out. If you don’t like this idea, say so.

These nuts are just telling people whatever they want to hear. They young mayor pete has more sense than any of them, and he doesnt even have any experience.

Naw, Trump will win and the Dems will have to really think about growing up and getting serious in the future if they really want to win future elections.

I agree. Very sinister. Under the dems model, minorites will be helpless junkies strung out on government social programs for eternity. They'll never come with the message that minorities can be self-sufficient--that messes up their whole power scheme. It use to be that African Americans were the victims of oppression. They're the only ones who suffered slavery in America. But now we have black and brown bodies and pocs and intersectionality. It's all jammed under one umbrella. It'll never stop. It keeps expanding like the universe. Dems will beat the same drum every four years. They'll never tell minorities they can help themselves.

Bingo! The Democrats could care less, the only thing they care about and what they absolutely need and can’t do without is getting the minority vote, that’s the key to Democrat win, once they’ve secured that, nothing ever happens.

-5 ( +1 / -6 )

They already called Bernie the winner with only 4% of results in. Almost like “nothing to see here”

By the end the DNC will need to prop up Biden and mayor Pete to show at least 15% for them.

-3 ( +0 / -3 )

I think what the dem losers are betting on is their message of "hope" and freebies for the minorities, young educated but inexperienced, and poor, a bit sinister if you think about it, then once they are on the hook will get a large share of votes from that. every one of them has the same message of trillion dollar health care, green magical thinking energy, reversal of all Trump job creations, and other loon messages.

Deferral is one of the main features of the worldwide tax system that allows U.S. multinational companies to delay paying taxes on foreign profits. Under U.S. tax law, companies are not required to pay U.S. tax on their foreign subsidiaries’ profits for many years, even indefinitely until the earnings are returned to U.S. Therefore, it was one of the main reasons that U.S. corporations paid low taxes, even though the corporate tax rate in the U.S. was one of the highest rates (35%) in the world. Although, since January 1, 2018 the corporate tax rate has been changed to a flat 21%.

Lets see what happens when one of the loons gets it changed back to 25% or higher...more will just defer to other countries, all the while corrupt lobbyist lobbying for tax free treaties for foreign companies in the US.

Japanese prisons are much harder to survive than American ones.

What is socialism? Do we nationalize Microsoft for example? One thing is Trump is doing a poor job at healthcare and an increased number of people are losing their shirts for something simple as a broken finger. Enjoying government healthcare in Japan that doesn't make you go bankrupt?

Lets see. The senile incoherent bumbling one (Biden) tells us he wants to raise the corporate tax rate, all the while providing money for entrepreneurs, and investing in "rail" (which would most likely be provided by the Japanese) and green energy, what that green energy is remains a mystery as his solar investment seems to have flopped according to repub? dem? bloomberg. as there hasnt been any fuel yet discovered, that outperforms the energy dense fossil fuels the loons promise to replace, I find that to be more magical thinking and false hope . crazy Bern wants to replace fracking and the jobs that come with it, with ??? The queen loon warren rambles on about how people of color are suffering from dirty air and water and her trillion dollar health plan is the best option, and pay for it by taxing the wealthy, but never mentioning that the wealthy will just leave her and her nutjob plan and go elsewhere. Mayor pete was the sharpest one, but he has no experience.

and of course the fall back, when the loons start attacking each other is, "we must defeat the worst president in history"

what a bunch of losers.

Trump 2020.

Neither was Carter Page. Never even indicted much less convicted. Just an entry point to get all Trump campaign communications.

Even having all the comms for over a year still couldn’t indict him or prove Russian collusion.

No. she’s not suspected of colluding with a foreign government. Why do you have such a difficult time with facts and logic?

-4 ( +0 / -4 )

The problem with the liberal complaints is that Bernie isn’t the weakest candidate. He just keeps winning by getting the most votes. So that makes him the strongest, validated by our own voters

only way Dems can stop him is by linking him to Putin. Won’t work, just helps Trump to show how dishonest Dems are.,

I have been a registered Democrat since Bill Clinton. I have a right to vote in the Dem primary. I also have the right to vote for trump when the Dem nominee is garbage. or was helped by Russia or the DNC unfairly over who should have been the nominee.

why you targeting me for voter suppression? That’s wrong, isn’t it? #Allvotesmatter

By a foreign power, so then why the hypocrisy about Russia, spying is spying, so it should be perfectly legal by your accounts, which means gathering info on the Biden’s was all legal....makes sense to me.

No, western intelligence agencies did not report this. Let’s not start pushing falsehoods before 9:30, please.

They did. and the Dems ran with it, but got debunked as we all knew it would.

It bothers us more than the Russians helping Donny bothers you.

Any foreign 'meddling' in sovereign nation's affairs bothers me, and so of course any foreign 'meddling' in US affairs of any kind bothers me, regardless which candidate or policy they're supporting.

Good to know. Now you can grill the socialist who spent his honeymoon in the former Soviet Union and them Russians that are trying to help him win.

Does Russia's 'meddling' to help Trump bother you?

Does Russia’s meddling to help Sanders bother you?

Or do you continue to believe the Kremlin's accounts.

I’m not a liberal, I have more things to do with my life (like making money) than to worry about Russia.

Carville has. russia is helping Bernie not to help him, but because he is the weakest. so no one vote for him, he’s tainted. According to the Clinton guy anyway.

myself, Trump easily beats any of these clowns. The Bloomberg is our savior plan failed spectacularly.

Yeah at least Bernie got a defensive review. Not AOC and the “squad” being spied on under falsely obtained FISA warrants right now.

but that’s ok if the intelligence agencies claim Russia is helping your campaign, right? Russia is helping Bernie, it’s confirmed. So maybe let’s look into a FISA on some of them like totally innocent Carter Page got.

Problem is that only Bernie and Biden will likely get more than 15%. Dems won Nevada in 2016 and to win it in 2020 someone would need to get better than 15% in their own primary.

The re-emerging of james carville makes me suspicious. He is on tv destroying Bernie about his Russian assistance in the election.

Russia, at least to those who trust US and other 'western' nation's intelligence agencies and not the Kremlin's nor Bannon and other global far rightists,

Bannon? What? Dear lord......

'meddled' in the 2016 election to help Trump. US intelligence agencies have reported they continue to do so.

They also reported that Trump was in a hotel room where Obama and Michelle stayed in where Trump was having wild orgy sex with 2-3 women, that proved to be a huge hoax.

Says a lot about Trump supporters that 'foreign involvement' is fine by them, especially when they support Trump and ilk.

So that the Russians are helping Sanders doesn’t bother you, right? Or when the Dems bought a salacious and unverifiable dossier from Christopher Steele (a foreigner and a spy) that meddling didn’t alarm you? Says a lot about liberal hypocrisy.

They're willing to compromise US sovereignty to ensure their president (impeached) can continue to use the White House as a base from which to increase his and his family's fortune. While paying off debts to foreign 'financiers'.

And your verifiable proof of that is.....

@mrnoiladlNo one ever emigrates to a socialist country.

That doesn't square with the alt right's claims immigrants and refugees are coming to the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, etc. because of their 'socialism', e.g. the 'handouts' they can get there. But then I know the alt right uses 'socialism' as a pejorative without understanding what it means. Here's a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

Please name one nation that doesn't have some form of 'socialism'. Please name one nation that has what's reputed to be its opposite, 'free market capitalism'. ROFL & SMH
