Bernie Sanders co-sponsored a bill to make selling fake Vermont Maple Syrup a felony on par with bank fraud. Looks like Big Syrup knows how to buy a Senator...

“There is no way you could pass single payer in any intermediate future,” Gephardt declared. America, he added, has the “greatest health care system in the world, bar none.” And while single payer would provide universal coverage, there would be less quality and innovation without the “involvement of the private sector.”

Haley Barbour, the former Republican National Committee chair, another speaker at the event, chimed in to agree. “Hear, hear. Put me down as agreeing with Leader Gephardt as usual,” Barbour chuckled.

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

Holy poo poo that whole thing reads like an Onion article

quote:

Gephardt, who serves as a Democratic “superdelegate” responsible for choosing the party’s presidential nominee, was asked about the possibility of single payer at the Centene Corporation annual investor day conference at The Pierre, a ritzy five-star hotel in New York City.

Gephardt, notably, became a corporate lobbyist after serving as a populist Democratic lawmaker from Missouri. His clients have included Peabody Coal and Goldman Sachs, among others. He also serves on the board of Centene, receiving annual compensation of around $315,965 in cash and stock awards.

it's amazing that a group of white men can go take over a federal building, steal federal equipment and money, and get away nearly scot-free, while a black man can't pick up a toy gun in walmart without being gunned down by cops

tbh describing the cattle as theirs is a bit of a stretch. as far as anyone could tell Bundy was basically hunting feral cattle as no one knew who actual,y owned them after bundy released his in the 90s

No. It said that it started over Bundy refusing to sell his ranch to the federal government.

so if the bundys are just "hunting feral cattle" that they don't know who they belong to, the bundys certainly wouldn't be upset if people went and hunted these feral cattle right?

tbh i bet it was a hoot and a holler roaming the back country in trucks and ATVs annihilating cattle that have had a few years to adjust to life in the wild

i bet the meat was terrible, but it's not like they were killing the beasts for their own dinner

e: there's cool stories about them road-blocking land management ATVs with their vehicles, shooting off guns in the night after visiting land management ranger camps etc.

this honestly seems like the wisest choice, he should be eying a protege and tank a large amount of scandal. its what the centrist democrats SHOULD be doing like, throw booker to the wind (and give him huge piles of cash for doing so) and then put all the chips on harris behind the scenes or something. there's a big reason obama won and hillary lost, obama was a nobody the republicans had no case against. hillary had been running for president for 2 decades and why bernie was a better bet than her for the GE.

it sucks that the republican machine works that way, but thats what they do. i expect bernie to be dragged through the mud for the next 3 years. they might unearth a few legitimate things, but 95% of it is going to be bs like it was with hillary.

If by "real" you just mean "is actual maple syrup and not flavored corn syrup garbage for fuckos," then just checking the labeling is usually enough. If it says "maple" rather than "maple-flavored," you've usually got at least baseline authentic stuff.

Beyond that, we Vermonters just get a feel for it from walking the Green Mountains, absorbing the knowledge of the land, and being unhelpful to flatlanders.
