Can you truly say that Bernie has "financed his own campaign"? He has millions and millions of dollars worth of donations and contributions, mostly from Unions and other Orgs that might benefit from his presidency.
Most of his contributions are from small donors in the $5 - $100 range. It is not mostly from unions who are not the great liberal powerhouse that the Right likes to imagine.

This is why our social programs are bloated and will collapse sooner or later, as well as why most other countries practicing a stronger form of socialism are not doing so well.
West European countries have done much better than the US as regards their standard of living. The recent economic situation was a worldwide event due to the Bank collapse of 2008, not bureaucracy in general.

protesters shut down a trump rally.
massive numbers of people are out in chicago and have shut his event down.
there were scuffles inside the event.. despite his lame attempt to pretend the violence he instigates is nothing to do with him it's clear that it is as the cnn quotes during the last event showed only too well.. this doesn't happen at anyone else's events - candidates have even given up the stage to protesters, not called for them to be beaten and punched.. trump is an ugly person and this is just a small taste of what a future under his rule would be like.. shame on the gop for not kicking his ass out.

My advise would be to turn him off, this is going to go on for a few more months .
It's like watching a train wreck from a short distance. You just can't turn it off.
i finally had the guts to create a profile to be able to post.
i've been lurking for a few months and have read all your experiences and comments dutifully.
you have been a great help in my process of waking up from this cult posing as the one true religion.
The working poor can no longer afford food because minimum wage has been cut down by several years of inflation. Instead of being forced to get food stamps they should be given a living wage. Corporations, though, think that they are entitled to the sweat and blood of workers who create their wealth. Walmart even gives their workers information on how to apply for benefits. Walmart and others like them are the parasites.
It is the financial elite who think they're entitled to free labor just like the aristocracy of old.

My point is that racism is caused by others' choice in not being normal. Same with the Muslims wearing scarves. Not normal.
Who the hell are you to tell women not to wear scarves (for any reason, not just religious) because you say it's not 'normal'? Rainbow colored bow ties are not 'normal.' Would you justify the denigration of a person who wore one?
a christian priest even claimed that the bible passage where jesus asked "who.
touched me", because the power" had gone out of him", referred to genital stealing".. we thought the wt was bad.. males were accusing strangers of stealing their manhood by bumping against them.. folks were killed because of this... check out "nigerian genitalia vanishing epidemic of 1990. women were walking around holding their breast,.
men were walking around holding themselves.wth.
looking back and seeing all the secrecy and cover ups throughout wt history such as the secret elders books, the branch correspondence guidelines, the shameful lying and deceipt exposed during the arc questioning, the in-house way of dealing with things, the lack of openness to the media on issues such as blood or child abuse or anything controversial for that matter.
could this relate in some way to russell's alleged past as a freemason?
it seems quite strange that the founder of the bible students quite possibly may have been a freemason, (an organisation well known for its secrecy).
Why all the secrecy in Gods organisation?
All dictatorial organizations, not just cults, maximize manipulation and control of their subjects. Secrecy is one of the tools. Connections to Freemasonry are irrelevant.
thought it might be an interesting exercise to read the variety of questions people might ask.
