62. It Is Rather An Unseemly Blend, Sir

Wed Apr 8, 2020, 08:53 AM

Apr 2020

Rather like a cherry juice drink touted as 10% real juice, in which the juice is apple juice, and the flavors and colors added artificially.

What lends it real humor is the claim angry opposition to Sanders stems from Russian influence. Or else owes to people simply being negative....

"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
