LOL, Bernie knows that’s never going to happen. He’s just reminding the world of an empty promise that trump made, and openly offering his help so that Trump can’t say the Democrats blocked him. He’ll still say it, but there will be readily available evidence to the contrary, not that that’s ever mattered before.
Goddamn I fucking love Bernie.
What good things that Trump did promise? I am surprised that he promised this even though we know that it won’t happen.
Populists promise lots of good things; it’s just that most ring-wing populists tend to have their fingers crossed behind their back.
Bernie should run for president one of these days…
Why doesn’t Bernie understand Trump was just joking when he said that?!
Talk about owning the libs!
Bernie can’t even get a joke!
Just like all that election fraud stuff. Totally joking guys. Got you good eh?
Just a prank bro! A social experiment!
I know Bernie is being polite and playing politics, but let’s be honest: Trump keeping this promise is about as likely as Hell freezing over.
It’s not polite, it’s calling him out. Trump will say/lie about anything. At one point Trump said exactly this. He didn’t mean it, he just said some shit.
Bernie is repeating his own words because occasionally Trump says something good without any intent to follow up.
So Bernie is taking him at his word. He knows Trump will never do it, but if he can call the hypocrite out and trick him into agreeing, why not?
To want to talk about 4D Chess? There it is.
I hope you’re right, but even if you are, the words “I look forward to working with the Donald Trump administration” coming from Bernie of all people is just all kinds of wrong.
He should know that fascists never negotiate in good faith. This feels less 4d chess and more “peace in our time”…
I guess we’ll see, but I think we can all appreciate his willingness to go straight to brass tacks and hold Trump’s feet to the flame while the entire Democrat Party leadership is still busy clutching their pearls.
That’s Bernie for ya!
Yeah I was gonna say this reads like “no balls”
Bernie calling out bullshit yet again.
Is Burnie trying to duck season rabbit season Trump? I’m actually curious to see if this works
No. He’s calling trump out.
Yeah. One never can tell which way old men with possible dementia will twitch.
Hell, maybe he’ll have a stroke and wake up with integrity and a conscience. Weirder things have happened to nicer people, after all.
Trying to get that from the userer-in-chief is gonna be a nogo
Somehow I don’t think Mr “Pro-Business” will hamper banks’ efforts to fleece us.
Who knows? Good things might happen while Trump golfs and rambles. Probably not, but it could theoretically happen.
We need to convince Trump that the way to win a legacy is to deliver something like universal health care. Present it as a display of personal power and his unique talents, and as a branding moment like no other (beyond Obamacare). 'The Democrats couldn’t do it in 50 years, but I rammed it through in 2. Got the chair of Cigna on the phone and fired him personally. Now we all have Trumpcare and even Hillary has to praise it through gritted teeth…"
The GOP tied themselves so tightly to his star that they’d have to own the pivot, or find some way to retract their allegiance. And the rest of us could at least enjoy the historic worst-person-you-know-makes-a-greatipoint moment.
I’m sure he has some evil son of a bitch on staff whose sole job is to ensure that nothing positive that trump lies about ever accidentally comes true.
I don’t understand, why use credit cards if 25% interest rate is charged?
I don’t understand, why don’t they just eat cake?
Because it’s very difficult to live in our society without a credit history.
The interest rate is charged if you don’t make your payments. Otherwise, you get rewards each time you spend which makes things a little cheaper.
The “rewards” come off the backs of poor people paying these usurious interest rates.
They actually cone from the charges they push onto businesses to process the payments. The interest rates are just profit
You’re both right. The rewards are indeed mostly covered by the processing fees, but that means after covering infrastructure expenses etc., the banks are operating at a net loss (or breakeven at best), meaning they still have to fleece someone on their interest payments.
Plus those businesses pass the cost on to consumers like they do with any expense.
So ultimately, end consumers who are already being fleeced by a combination of wage theft, low wages, and high prices, are the ones who pay for everything.
Starve now, or later?
