Sorry for the rant.

TB4E..... that is kind of a dumb rant. This is no different that that idiotic CB thread baiting the board about "why republicans harass women......"
People harass other people, people litter, people care and do not care about the environment - it is not political, it is dumb people being dumb or lazy, or an a-hole. You don't have to be red or blue to be an a-hole - PERIOD.
For every Dem that throws trash on your property I am sure i can find a Rep that litters someplace too. Same goes for people who harass other people. That is just a dumb generalization to try to make "the other side" look bad.

So the Clinton News Network giving Sanders, not just the Sanders treatment he received in 2016, but giving him a Republican treatment.

It doesn't have to be. Had the forest managers been allowed to do routine fuel reduction operations the severity of these wildfires would have been much less and allowed fire crews to have a much greater chance of getting them under control in a timely manner. However, the climate cult has succeeded in preventing forest managers from doing these burns and underbrush clearings allowing fuel to build up to dangerous levels.

Quote:On Tuesday night, Democratic presidential contenders battled it out in the seventh Democratic primary debate, hosted by CNN and The Des Moines Register.
As noted by The New York Times, the “sparks didn’t really fly” during the dull and lengthy debate, though there was a “tense moment” between Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The far-left candidates were asked about a dubious CNN report regarding Sanders allegedly telling Warren a woman could never be elected president, which the Vermont senator vehemently denied.
Lucky for Warren, however, the moderator from CNN took her side during the exchange, completely ignoring Sanders’ denial. The Daily Wire reported:
CNN’s Abby Phillips asked Sanders: “So, Senator Sanders, I do want to be clear here; you’re saying that you never told Senator Warren that a woman could not win the election?”
“That is correct,” Sanders responded.
Phillips then turned to Warren and asked, “Senator Warren, what did you think when Senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?”
Greg Gutfeld, a co-host on Fox News’ “The Five,” noted the moment in a tweet concerning his “take home notes” of the night:
The “real thinkers” referenced by Gutfeld are presumably Democratic candidate Andrew Yang, a former tech executive, and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI). The two candidates fell short of qualifying for the debate stage, making Tuesday’s Democratic primary debate lacking racial diversity, something Democrats routinely tout.
And as far as Gutfeld’s prediction that Trump will “eat any of these” candidates “alive” in a general election, CNN and MSNBC moderators are seemingly in agreement. Post-debate left-wing analysts worried over which contender could beat Trump.
For example, CNN’s Van Jones called the debate “dispiriting.”
“I want to say that tonight for me was dispiriting,” Jones said on CNN, according to The Hill. “Democrats will have to do better than we saw tonight. There was nothing I saw tonight to suggest we’ll be able to take Donald Trump out and I want to see a Democrat in the White House as soon as possible.”
“There was nothing tonight, if you’re looking at this thing, to say any of these people are prepared for what Donald Trump will do to us. And to see further divisions tonight is very dispiriting,” he added.
As noted by Gutfeld, the “amateur” moderators were not well received. The hashtag #CNNIsTrash trended following the debate due to the questions and actions from CNN, particularly CNN’s Abby Phillips openly taking Warren’s side in the Bernie-Warren dispute.
“CNN has long been viewed as anti-Sanders, but this is incredible,” posted constitutional law professor and impeachment witness Jonathan Turley. “After asking Sanders to repeat his denial, Abby Phillips asserted that Sanders was lying: ‘Senator Warren, what did you think when Senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?'”
Let's review the evidence. This is the person who lied about her ethnicity in order to game the quota system at Harvard. This is also the person who made big money advising corporations on how to avoid paying the people they'd harmed, and then, once she'd cashed in doing that, built an entirely new persona as a ferocious consumer champion.
This is a person so synthetic and uncertain of who she is that she can't even drink a beer with her own husband without coming off like the captive in a hostage video...."
