Marxist POS is inflammatory but Trump uber alles is not?

See how that works.....oh wait you don't, you can't.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Calling Bernie a marxist POS is OK. He's fair game.

Calling every single poster here a moonbat is ignorant (you don't know the place), immature, rude, and devalues the main thing a discussion board is good for. Which, to make sure you get the point, is discussion.

At least you're willing to admit that you're unhinged. Trump has absolutely no chance of getting any of his ideas implemented. People who buy into his silly shit should probably take the time to read Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," though it's probably 10 times as long as any book you've ever read.

I'm not so sure about that. Atlas Shrugged is rather long.

Rand is overrated.

Do you actually think this cat has the intellectual capacity to read any book over 1,000 pages (Atlas Shrugged is 1,088 pages and Rise and Fall is 1,280 pages, per Amazon product info).

I doubt this cat has read anything longer or more challenging than The Limbaugh Letter.

Good, you outgrew Rand. The Dreiser novel is a good piece of literature.

But how does he intend to solve our problems? You don't solve problems with bluster and bravado.

And then there is the issue of yet another ruling class billionaire telling the working class to "trust me".......
