    You are the king of false equivalences.

    There's nothing illegal or immoral or treasonous about Bernie owning more than one house. That can't be said for Flynn's actions.

    Never said it was illegal. I just said it’s hypocrisy given the fact he criticized the rich yet owns 3 houses. That’s all

    You don't have to be rich to own three houses. And hypocrisy is not at all the same thing as criminality. And yes, you were equating them, the point of your post was that politicians are all the same.

    First of all I find the article you linked very hard to believe. We are comparing a total of 8 years to about a year. We get it, you love Obama. I’m not saying trump is an angel, he’s not. I don’t like him. Obama was way more presidential and I give him that but he went back on a lot of things. The drone killings are indeed a factor. I have an opinion and on things. Sure I don’t care about it because I know it’s all horseshit but I find it fascinating how into it you guys are and the sides you take and why. I don’t have a side in this. Sure, small time politicians can be good. I’m talking the big ones.

    Misled by my podcasts? Which podcasts?

    he doesn't't criticize the rich for being rich, he criticizes the ones who don't want to pay their fair share and make sure the society that allows them to be rich isn't strong enough to provide quality healthcare and safety nets for those who aren't rich. He criticizes those who walk on the backs of the poor and don't reach down to offer a hand to help pull them up.

    My uncle owns 3 homes, but he's not rich. Just purchased cheap houses as vacation homes.

    Upon further research it looks like Bernie Sanders and wife bought their beachside third house for 600k. Not including however much the other two houses were. Don’t know about you but the normal every day Americans he tried so hard to say he relates to, doesn’t own three houses.

    I would say warren buffet is a better example of actually living pretty modest as he does. Sanders is just another liar

    I listen to some of the same ones and enjoy them. They offer great insight but still they are just comedians and most don't have a full grasp of what they cover. It's just a hang for the most part. Listen to them, but don't just gobble up whatever they say.

    Wanna know something funny? Anybody who has responded to me in here is left wing. You automatically have a bias. Especially barfo. He holds a grudge against me for whatever reason but in the past he has also said Hillary Clinton isn’t a crook. He’s left. It’s impossible to have a discussion with you when your bias is automatically on one side. You gave yourself up with the Obama article which by the way isn’t true. As if to say “oh look, Civilians were killed under obama but it wasn’t as bad as trump!!”. I would rather sanders actually be president right now despite his hypocrisy to a certain level. However the system is rigged, which the dnc proved moving Hillary over sanders. Go ahead and put your trust into these people, not my problem

    I don’t gobble up what they say. I research things I wanna know more about. Then I give my opinion. It’s not difficult to understand. I guess you think I literally take everything a podcast says and use it as my own opinion. That’s crazy but alright

    Well, if you look up to Warren Buffet, then you should know that he most definitely disagrees with you about all politicians being the same.

    No shit. My point was comparing the two and how they talk versus how they live

    I haven't said she's not a crook. I've just pointed out it's never been proven, she's never been charged, she's never pleaded guilty. Unlike Mr. Flynn.

    Also, for what it's worth, I'm pretty centrist. Wild-eyed left wingers don't support Hillary over Bernie.

    Your preferences are entirely irrelevant, given that you don't vote.

    Well damn how can one be a trump supporter if I didn't even vote since that what you left wing people like to say I am regardless of how much I say hes bad.

    Never been proven huh? there is quite a lot of evidence against her but once again it's funny that you and your other liberal friends have clinged onto this russia collusion trump story for a year now. Yeah I don't vote. Yeah I dislike politics because it's a ridiculous outdated system at this point and it does nothing but create people like you and retarded ideology right or left. Why should I contribute to the broken system?

    Russia collusion hasn't been proven either. But the investigation is ongoing. Past tense of cling is clung.

    You shouldn't. You should definitely not vote. I think it's a surprisingly wise decision on your part.
