So from an augury perspective, it is fair to say that Bernie has the approval of the sparrow, and Donald lacks the qualities necessary to please the eagle.
BUT BEYOND THAT! Even if you don’t buy into augury, let’s look at bird behavior.
Bernie, with all his hand waving and the volume of his voice attracted the interest of a sparrow, a small, non-predatory animal. This means that despite his motion and volume, it saw him and went “this man is not a threat to me”.
Donald Douche, on the other hand, sat still next to a trained predatory bird, and the bird was so uncomfortable with him that it attacked him. Straight attacked him. He wasn’t waving his arms or being loud, just existing next to the bird it felt threatened and attacked him.
So there’s that.
This is an awesome post.
To be fair, the eagle had a good reason to attack Drumpf. During the shoot, Drumpf was told to hold the bird closer to him because it would be a more steady perch. But instead, he held him as far away from him as possible which made the perch unsteady and nearly dropped him. The second photo, the one of him being attacked at the desk is when he was reaching for the eagle’s tether. The eagle recognized him as ‘that guy that dropped him’ and attacked him.
So to read this into augury- Drumpf was attacked not simply because because he lacks the necessary qualities associated with the eagle, but because the eagle remembers that he mishandles those qualities (protection, opportunity, freedom, etc) in a way that harms them.
(1) repeal the Missile Defense Act of 1991; (2) terminate the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization within the Defense Department and reassign its functions to other military departments and functions; and (3) limit Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) activities to basic research and fund basic research at $1.2 billion in fiscal year 1993.
Then Sanders goes all in about why this amendment is necessary.
feminist activist gloria steinem believes young women are incapable of having their own opinions on politics and only care about boys
“where are the boys”? who is thinking that? all of us already know the boys are back in town.
excUSE ME?
Listen, sweetheart, I’m supporting Bernie Sanders because I think he’s the BEST GODDAMN CANDIDATE. If a guy, a girl, or any other sentient human being wants to date my fine ass, they’d better accept that I make my choices with no regard for what will make them like me.
This is what the Iowa Democratic race looks like Tuesday morning. Hillary Clinton’s campaign is claiming victory, while Bernie Sanders’ says it’s still too close to call.
All! This is the reason why we all need to TURN THE FUCK UP. TURN. UP. Register!
VOTERS 17-29 (18% of voters) = BERNIE SANDERS BY 84% v. CLINTON’S 14%
VOTERS 30-44 (19% of voters) = BERNIE SANDERS BY 58% v. CLINTON’S 37%
37% of voters ARE UNDER 45.
64% of voters ARE OVER 45.
–
THIS PROVES RIGHT HERE, YOUR VOTE MATTERS.
Register the FUCK to vote. And TURN UP. Just a few more waking up and getting over to the caucuses would have turned a TIE into a WIN. Just think on how the primaries would go! Register! Party affiliate! And don’t stop at voting just for President, but get yourselves heard by picking reps so Congress AND STATE REPS AND GOVERNORS realizes that they can’t “just listen to the old generation” anymore.
Change that voter percentage so all of you all’s voices can be heard. Up that percentage! Do whatever it takes to show up! We have truly the ability to change things if we JUST SHOW UP.
The only important thing that happened during the Dem debate.
He is garbage.
but but but the 1%!!!!!!
Ok hold on, I actually just read the article and it actually seems the people who said “oh he’s garbage” or whatever didn’t actually read what they reblogged.
His plan involves increasing taxes, yes, but he’s also planning to do away with private insurance premiums. You’re actually saving money via that plan, so ultimately better off financially. Put simply, private insurance premium going away means all that money back in your pocket. Then, you pay SOME of that money to taxes. Taxes go up, BUT you’re paying less than you’d have paid the private company. So yes, you’d be paying more taxes, but in total your expenses go down by thousands.
Read the things you reblog, dammit.
Uhhhh
You literally admitted he says he wants to increase taxes.
oh boo hoo, you pay a little bit more in taxes. how else do people expect shit to get done? -_-
… Really?
oh no my taxes are going to be more
and people nationwide will stop suffering from lack of healthcare
and maybe ending poverty will take a step in the right direction
and maybe private insurance companies will stop gouging people
and hey I’ll actually have a net positive after all this since it saves me money in the long run
and hey maybe we’ll be on par with every other 1st world country on the planet
and hey maybe parents will call the hospital when their kids are sick instead of waiting it out because their insurance rates are too much for them to afford
but
oh no my taxes are going to be more
Same rhetoric as obamacare. Premiums are up, coverage is down, but hey. At least everyone….no wait.
Government run healthcare is the biggest croc of idiocy alive today. Medicare, medicaid, obamacare, all failures. All dying. But juuuuuust one more right? This time it will work!
so what r ur opinions on minecraft?
So… The NHS…
Guys, Sanders is asking for a 2.2% health care tax hike to cover health care costs. If your household is earning $70k a year, that’s $1,540 a year in extra taxes.
There will also be a payroll tax levied on employers of 6.7%. Assuming the entire cost is passed on to workers (and I guarantee you it won’t be - customers will also pick up part of the tab), that’s an extra $4,690, bringing the total to $6,230 a year.
Obamacare average household premiums were about $16,800 in 2015, and are still rising. That’s at least 2.7 times higher than the tax hike (a highly conservative estimate), and will probably be higher as health care costs continue to rise.
You will not need to pay for premiums in a single payer system. You’re literally saving over thousands of dollars a year if you’re a middle class citizen, and even more if you’re a working class citizen.
There are plenty of other examples of nations that have implemented a single payer system, and their citizens are paying significantly less than Americans.
ALSO. The generally used cut-off for ‘middle class’ in political debates is a person making $250,000 a year. Are any of you even fucking CLOSE to that? ‘Cause I kind of doubt it. By that definition someone can ‘raise taxes on the middle class’ and still not raise the taxes of 99% of the people I know. So when someone mentions ‘middle class’, you damn well need to ask what numbers they’re using. It’s totally possible that they’re not talking about and yours at all. The tax code certainly makes a distinction between those of us making under $50k and those making over $200k, and so would Sanders’ plan!
I live in Australia and I had to have a brain tumor removed a few weeks ago and I know for a fact, because of the research I did prior to my surgery, that if I lived in a country without significantly subsidised health care I would not even know I was sick, because American doctors do not recommend an MRI for people presenting with my symptoms – because of the cost.
I would literally be fucking dying if not for government run health care. Everyone against it can shut the fuck up forever.
slightly higher taxes so everyone–literally everyone–can access higher education and healthcare??? i don’t understand why or HOW people are angry about this
Oh look it’s communismkills being wrong again like in almost every post they’ve ever written
tl; dr: “Increasing tax on the middle class–which most people are not part of–to save money for everybody.”
