Not surprising. The "mainstream" fake news treats her like the
sun shines out of her ass.

Hitler called himself a National Socialist. What you call yourself
and what you really are ain't necessarily the same thing. Bernie
espouses blatantly socialist policies, which makes him a socialist.

Hot news flash: The Mueller report is out. No collusion. Of course,
those of us not slurping the fake news Kool-Aid already knew this.

Which is BS. It is owned by the STATE! The whole "People's
Republic" is a oxymoronic sham. It isn't run by the people,
and it ain't a republic. You think wealth is concentrated
in our society? Check out China. Or Venezuela. Or any other
current or defunct socialist/communist state.

Of course you do. Free shit for everyone, eh?
Standard anti-PragerU diatribe. "Shaun" doesn't agree with PragerU.
Fine - no likey, no clickee. Of course, in the comments you invariably
have people calling for it to be banned. Odd, I don't recall PragerU
or it's viewers calling for views contrary to theirs to be banned.
However, that is standard fare on the left: ban all contrary views.
Free speech is fine, as long as it is approved, acceptable speech.
Typical leftist shit. <spit>
