There is a very easy way to get around the lie about taking away your insurance.
Insurance policies change every year. he’s not only making insurance more consistent and stable, he’s expanding service and reducing cost. It’s not like anybody is attached to their insurance. It’s a false narrative that the right wingers (of both parties) have been trying to convince people to care about.

No way man. I love reading about plans, figuring out costs, and choosing my shiny new insurance every year. And it’s right around the holidays, so I always make a commemorative ornament.

I don’t think I’ve seen a post of his which comes remotely close to sympathizing with or endorsing Trump, so...

So... consider alternatives to the idea it was an attack of some sort and then read my post just above.

Nah, slow down a little. It wasn't directed at you in any accusatory sense. It was to point out that nothing in the past of any of the candidates comes even remotely close to how bad Trump is so it shouldn't matter, but for some people it would matter a great deal and that's pretty fucked up.

Trump's sympathies with Putin probably works for him more than against him with how easily some Americans lap up Putin's manufactured image

But being sympathetic to the USSR or Cuba or Venezuela? That's contentious even among leftists.

It was just a one-off comment, intended to remind everyone that while we pour over these fine points, the other guy is one giant knob. It's the lounge and I'm trying to joke a bit. And I just got home from work and haven't had supper yet but you're the one that sounds hangry.

But if you insist, please describe the nature of these sympathies for some context. There's a wide range when it comes to the possible strength of these sympathies. Regardless of that, though, does anyone, even people who hate Bernie, think that there's anything in his political career that suggests he doesn't put the best interests of his constituents first and within, not counter to, the legal framework of the USA? I say if there's a left-leaning voter who thinks "sympathies" might disqualify Bernie, the person is not very bright.

We don’t even have a democratic candidate anyways, so it isn’t Bernie vs Trump yet

I would have understood your post originally if it was down to Bernie vs Trump. But at this point both are fair game no matter where you stand.

Look like I said I don't personally give a shit about these sympathies that Bernie has shown to Marxist regimes. In fact I might go as far as to say its partly why I support him since it suggests that he's our only real chance at instituting something like an anti-imperialist foreign policy.

But like I said, his comment on Venezuela has aged terribly and he did travel to Nicaragua and Cuba back in the day which ain't the best look either.
 
What are the paths for a Cowboy victory next week people? Talk to me. He’s going to get tooled standing, right? Got to avoid a liver shot and take him down?

Take him down and tap him out. Pretty much the only way I see it

The intercepting knee is a high risk, high reward move for him. He's been countered off of it before but he has also used it to slow the offense of an aggressive opponent such as against Hernandez and Miller. I don't think that'll work against McGrgor though. I also don't think Cerrone will have a very easy time on the ground with Conor either. Conor has great grappling, we just underestimate it because all his losses are submissions but he defended well against Khabib in the first round and even got up from under Khabib late in the second round. I don't think Cerrone has the wrestling to be able to take Conor down and hold him down very easily. If Cerrone submits Conor I think it'll be after hurting him on the feet first like Cerrone usually does.

Agreed. Will it happen, though? Cowboy has the skills, but he’s a timing guy, not a set up the double leg guy. Timing Conor is a bad plan.

I’m 65/35 Conor in this one. Huge Cowboy fan, though.
 
i do think it's odd that Russia still gets the boogeyman treatment, despite the fact that the EU sources a significant majority of it's oil/gas from there...

no, i'm NOT arguing for their 'annexation' of Sevastopol or whatnot or even anything remotely pro Russia, just an observation

plus, you know, like Saudi Arabia exists and shit.
 
Connor isn't known for cardio, has bulked up, and cerrone is a notoriously slow starter

If connor goes hard round 1 it could end quick

if he doesn't...….Cerrone could take it.

We honestly don't know about McGregors heart especially now that he's rich

Agree about the knee, great point. But disagree about the grappling. Don submits Conor if he can take it to the ground, imo. Taking him down at all will be the issue.

What is the logical connection between Russia being a bogeyman and much of Europe getting energy from them?

That they supply the energy is good reason, IMO, to fear them, because that gives them huge leverage over Europe.
