COVID-19 was on The Ark, right next to the tsetse flies and mosquitos. Who are we do deny God's will? If anyone dies whilst Hobby Lobby is doing the Lord's work that's just all part of "the plan".

they imply that Bernie's loss in 2016 (and his upcoming loss this year) was due to some conspiracy within the DNC

There was a conspiracy in 2016. I'm not sure I can blame them considering he never wanted to part of the Democratic Party.

It's fine to believe the DNC simply got lucky when all the moderates simultaneously dropped out and endorsed one of their own whilst the two lefty(ish) candidates split the votes in MA, TX and MI.
It's picking pepper out of gnat ---- anyway.
Bernie can't be nominated because the people that run this country wont allow it.
A socialist? hello....wake up....rise and shine...

FOX hosts skew right and CNN hosts skew (almost-kinda) left. But their bosses go to the same diner parties. Those guys all play for Team Capitalism and they are on the longest winning streak since Pax Romana. They have 80 years of unchallenged propaganda on their side. They would devote all of their considerable resources to squashing any notion that capitalism doesn't fix everything, never mind that it might actually be the root of some of our problems. The Sunday morning shows would be replaced with actors reading excerpts from The Gulag Archipelago. Netflix would have a Lil Red Book miniseries by October.
We'd have a scenario where both political parties and every major media outlet want the same outcome.

Picture a frail old man challenging someone 40 years his younger to a fist fight, but instead of getting beat up Sputnik falls from the sky onto on his head.

the interviews are a waste of time

I once thought sideline reporters were the most useless people on Earth. But they have been supplanted by the studio referee role where actual money is paid to some pensioner to always agree with whatever call has been made on the field. Seriously, what is the point? Erin Andrews is at least a looker even when she doesn't have anything useful or interesting to report.

Compared to Captain Hendo doing tippy taps as he lifts 'ol Big Ears, the trophy presentation in the NFL is really cringe. A group of world class athletes just won the biggest game in the country and the silverware is handed first to an animated corpse in skin tight red leather and then to her son Richie Rich. It's weird.

Don't know why
They stuffed them with mint, cloves and other sweet smelling herbs. The theory was that bad odors were the source of many illnesses.

"The first thing I'm going to tell my successor is to watch the generals, and to avoid feeling that just because they were military men, their opinions on military matters were worth a damn."

He called Limnitzer a "dope".

Should we be compensated more heavily by Japan, South Korea, etc
Maybe, Japan and SK are harmless enough, but the "etc" includes the Saudis. Tribute in kind is one thing, but renting out US troops to get between the oppressed and their royal oppressors seems like bad business.
Fewer foreign bases. Check
Stop fighting unwinnable wars. Check
What's next, no craklins from a mohel?

It's funny how god oversaw this kid's entire academic career. Changing test scores when necessary, making sure his punctuation was correct and whatnot. Then, right at the end, after all this hard work, He fails to persuade the school principle to go along with His ordained plan. It's almost like, and hear me out here, God had nothing to do with it all along.
