Michael Ramirez for February 29, 2020

Which candidate said “Russia, if you’re listening…”

Hint #1: It wasn’t Bernie.

Hint #2: It was the guy who keeps on borrowing more and more Russian cash.

No, Mr. Ramirez. Sanders’s ideas are neither nutty nor Russian (which is no longer Socialist or  Communist, right?). You would probably do a more accurate job if you took the time to inform yourself a little more thoroughly. Though I suppose being more accurate might cut into your paycheck?

Nationalizing health insurance? Nationalizing higher education? Nationalizing energy businesses? All free. Even stocks will be free. Except the line will be long to obtain shares…….

I thought the Russians were supplying Trump with his ideas. Ramirez misses the mark again.

And the foolishness train pulls into the Ramirez cartoon after leaving Lisa Benson.

Russia’s help consists of convincing the masses to like Bernie.. Which… will guarantee a trump win. Putin knows playing both sides is a cheap way to win.

Bernie will give away the store…the young Foolish followers are banking on him to PAY off their loans and or free college….free free free…and WE THE PEOPLE… PAY higher taxes and whatever else….NOTHING IS FREE!

Helping the American public with social programs is obviously a very nutty idea when that money could go toward massive tax breaks for the wealthy.

It wasn’t Russia that gave Bernie all his “nutty” ideas. It was the former Soviet Union. Now there was a “socialist” country Bernie could love.

Sanders honeymooned in the USSR that was controlled by Communists.

How often do we have to point out that Sanders’ program is not a socialist program??? It’s just a continuation of the New Deal, 75 years later. Everything in his program is completely compatible with a mildly regulated market economy. I live in Ontario, where we have a single payer health care system. I assure you that Canada is not a socialist country. Ramirez, and all those who are saying that Sanders’ is a “socialist”, are either too ignorant for words or else they are conscious liars. I’m getting tired of pointing this out, but we can’t let the stupid liars win by default.

Trump is doing Putin’s bidding by alienating long-term U.S. allies, pulling out of treaties, abandoning the Kurds, withholding funds from Ukraine, etc.

Bernie Sanders’ ideas come from countries like Denmark, Norway and Finland that have a better educated and healthier population that costs less money than the “free market” (socialism for corporations is more accurate) system in the U.S.

Ramirez gets his ideas from a deep, dark place.

Michael Gerson made an interesting comparison between Sanders and Trump. He granted that Sanders, unlike Trump, has a good character, but he pointed out that they both campaign with anger as a major source of exciting their supporters, Trump with anger against a generality of “those other people” and Sanders with anger against corporations in general.

Republicans love Russian money and Russian hacking, as long as it favors Republicans.

Again? Clearly Trump is a Russian asset, Helsinki proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt and Moscow Mitch has ensured that nothing will prevent the Russians from meddling in the next election. Republicans can’t tell the difference between Communism and Social Democracy because they don’t believe in democracy. At least we won’t have to hear about Hunter Biden after tuesday.

Mr. Ramirez: Do you know what they call repeatedly and knowingly repeating a falsehood?

Lying.

Don’t be a liar, sir.
