All Sanders is doing is trying to ride on TRUMP’s coattails by acting like he’s not beholden to corporate donors.

There’s no Fool like an old Fool.

Did Petroleum exist before the Evil Koch Brothers showed up?

Load this grouchy old socialist a-hole up with Thorazine or Xanax and put him back in the basement or the attic and be done with him. He’s a freakin’ loon.

It was oil and gas from the great East Texas field, via the Big Inch pipeline that fueled the invasion of France in 1944. It was the lack of oil and gas that caused the failure of the Bulge attack and the Nazi inability to hold back the Russians that led to defeat of Germany. Bernie has no comprehension of the energy needs of the world.

If someone could wave a wand and make all fossil fuels and their derivatives disappear around that idiot, he would be left standing, barefoot, naked, out on a dirt road, with no evidence of civilization for miles.

You would be surprised...maybe...at how many people still think petroleum came from dead animals. What a ridiculous theory that is!

Do you really believe this tale? How much algae and plankton would it take to create all of the petroleum we have used and still exists? I believe the information you stated is really an old wives fable. It is nonsensical at best.

Give Bernie a donkey to ride on.

Let me see, a donkey and Bernie. Which one would have the higher IQ?

This man’s wife is working with a college to rip up pristine wilderness to build a college that will cater to a tiny number of rich white kids.

(Except that they haven’t built it yet and all the checks going to Mrs. Sanders desk can’t be found, but I’m sure that’s just an innocent mistake.)

Anyway: how about you environmentalists in the press ask Bernie about that?

Oil and gas deliveries should immediately stop to his Vermont home.

Electricity should be cut off as well, and let Burnout Sanders get by on his solar panels. Since electricity is a fungible commodity, there's no way to know whether the electrons he uses are from renewable sources, fossil fuel, or (gasp!) nuclear power. To be safe, and planet-friendly, he should use NO power from the grid whatsoever.

I thought before this that he was dragging his anchor. Now I’m convinced that he has truly parted moorings.

If Bernie would spend a little time watching the credits after some of his favorite tv shows on his favorite tv network...he would notice that George Soros and Son never contribute a cent. Koch on the other hand, contributes to most of the shows that are any good, even if they spew nonsense of climate issues.

Hey, Bernie, I challenge you to abandon the corrupting influence of George Soros. You go first. Start by using only renewable energy sources to get to and from your campaign events, and run the power for them from solar cells and wind.

They elected him, they can share in the sacrifice.

That old communist bastid should be air dropped over North Korea (without a parachute). And his supporters too.
