MSNBC'S CHRIS MATTHEWS FACES CALLS TO RESIGN AFTER COMPARING SANDERS' NEVADA VICTORY TO NAZI GERMANY'S DEFEAT OF FRANCE

You know it is bad when a liberal compares one of their own to Nazis!
The President is a fink.

The last few times I watched Chris Matthews I thought he was on tilt. This just proves it. He has lost his mind. I’m serious. Maybe he has a brain tumor or something. His bizarreness seems to have come on abruptly.

How he could have any appeal is beyond me;


I been trying to explain, but I can't stop going full RV salesman and it's Wiz who asked lol. I've erased like 6 pages. I'll keep trying...

Please enjoy the video. I welcome all thoughts.


Firstly, well done. Steady, clear, and not filmed in portrait at 480p. Didn't watch it all because I wasn't hearing anything I haven't already heard, but good marks for quality.

In Sanders, I find my spirit animal. He's anti-malignant wealth and anti-corporate kowtowing, both things I've been lamenting ever since Citizen's United and other nefarious legislation of its like. He's a 40yr track record of staunch line walking. He was pro-civil rights back when being pro meant being beaten, and remains so today. Pro LGBT. Pro ending the drug war. Pro people. I don't care how much I've liked or hated someone before, each one of them is known to flip flop and toe the party line as it suits them. But not Bern. Dude's been as stable as Helium for my entire lifetime and damn how much you like it, and as one who prioritizes integrity, he scores off the charts in this regard. That gets my respect no matter what he's peddling.

The rest I won't speak on objectively. I can't; things such as M4A require an understanding of such terms as "trillions of dollars" and I cannot understand what a trillion is. But I think, subjectively, I can wrap it all up in a few neat paragraphs...

I know my grandparents grew up in the depression. I know they went from barely subsistence living to a boom the likes of which has never been seen, by way of a mix of Democratic Socialism and (not to champion it, but) the loot of war. My grandfather specifically went from an agrarian upbringing as a child to being a sort of manufacturing big shot by the time he was my age, in a job in-town, with an 8th grade education, and was able and allowed to ride it out his whole life.

FFW to my parents, and we're still cooking along. America is rich, by every definition. It was the Cocaine 80's and opulence was a thing. We lost manufacturing but we opened world wide trade. You might not have had the opportunity of your burgeoning country grandparents, but you damn sure could waft along on their success. Pensions were still a thing. Company men still existed. We did start to require two working parents, but at least we were in our own homes that we owned outright, reasonably affordable from our combined 9-5's.

FFW to today, and WHAT THE F#$%. We experienced a boom to rival that of the 40's, I daresay even far eclipsed the whole of that, and what did that get us? We got right-to-work and unpaid internships. We got elimination of pensions and slashes to benefits. We got raping of Social Security and 24/7 on-call hours for menial retail jobs. We got cell phones and internet keeping us on a corporate leash for every second of our existence. We got 5yrs experience + Master's starting at $14 an hour. We got the master's wages rising by hundreds of percent while the chattel ain't even paced inflation. We got one bad accident away from medical bankruptcy and an education complex less concerned with printing diplomas than printing money. We've got the highest incarceration percentage the world has ever seen, not for the good of the public, but to stuff private coffers by way of modernized slavery. We get our health stolen by corporate drug dealers, our information stolen by corporate parasites, our labor stolen by corporate f#$%ing bastards who just can't grasp that the hole in their heart can't be filled by money and attention, despite the entirety of their and the ruling class' best efforts. We send our kids to die not to protect our culture or erase a global evil but to impose our culture upon the world by force. We can't afford education, can't afford healthcare, can't afford homes, completely due to the way YOU (generic you) ran things, and then WE get blamed for being the failures and told we should be happy for $11/hr!

Certainly if you disagree you can at least still understand our stance, and if you can understand our stance then you know exactly why Bernie Sanders is going to be the leading Dem candidate for the whole ride. We are the internet generation. We are not threatened by 50's era jive talk like calling us commie / socialist. "Better dead than red" means f#$% all to us, and for every Latin Socialist country you try to point to as proof of its failure, we know there's two scoops of American imperialism and a state sponsored coup involved that made it the failure it is. And for every hit piece, every slander attempt, every mass media intentional purge of Uncle Bern and his results, we know it's just the corporate media complex, which is neither right or left but elite, pushing that effort to protect their interest, not ours.

The one thing Bern has in common with Trump is he's the result of a whole lotta people wising up. And at least for me, in a similar vein as my former support for Trump, it's a giant middle finger to the elites to let them know "Hey f#$%face. I see you. And I'm done with your bulls#$%"

It's surely not a done deal, speaking only as far as I personally am concerned. Despite my adoration, and I use the word "adoration" quite intentionally, I'm still too ignorant on both he himself as well as the big picture to say unquestioningly "He's my man". I need some time yet, and very rarely go all-in on any single thing even with information, guns notwithstanding. But I'll tell you this... the biggest anti-gov, never-vote, leave-me-the-f#$%-alone hoplophile you know, who spends countless hours bringing you every bit of Democratic overreach where guns are concerned from every state in the nation, is now your newest, freshly minted, NYS registered Democrat.

Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife. We're rep'ping everybody out here.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

I didn't read any of that because
you've tricked me too many
times. Wandering aimlessly
looking for a point and failing.
Fool me once..

I watched 90 percent of it.

I believe you're still not using a consistent calculation for leaving words on screen to be read.

I wondered if I should leave the words on the screen longer for longer sentences. In the end, I decided on a consistent three seconds. I figure most people won't read them anyway. If they want to read it, they can pause the video. I got the same criticism about my Trump rally video.
