combine Russia and Iran sanctions then voted against them saying it was because they were combined.

Do you know why?

Have you seen his tax returns?

And if the answer to both is no, why arent you interested in these things? The only person I was a BIGGER fan of and supporter of as little as two years ago was Michael Moore, over Bernie Sanders, so you can answer me knowing I have an open mind.

I have some blank places here so I see they have arrived. If they ever had much to say and could say it like they were talking to other adults, you know with some respect for other people, I might feel like unblocking them. They are not worth the time and I am sure they feel the same about many of us but they make their days by thinking that we care what they say with their smilies and snotty attitudes.

Love the shirt. I will have to go look at the others.

how petty and small they look. For me they vanished! "POOF" and they are gone. I could go to any number of teen sites and get the kind of dialog they offer and since I am long passed that time and have no interest in wasting my time I vanished them. If they had ever offered more than childish play and smilies I would not have. I still have a number of people who dislike Bernie but who can actually vocalize a reason and make some sense. Let go of the others, they are here to troll your emotions and bait people. Worthless waste of time. You know them. For me "They Disrupted Poorly"

Love the shirt does not mean you love who is selling it. It also does not mean you would buy from them but I am sure you feel really good about "getting it".

people who notice the hypocrisy and double standards of a politician who attacks a corporation/Amazon but then uses them for his own self interests are the issue. No. The issue is hypocrisy and double standards of those politicians.

...to a past search. "Amazon" could care less about our political beliefs as long as we buy stuff from them.

PS: They send me emails every day, 99% about books in my categories of interest.

You think I'd like THAT book, Amazon? I wouldn't read that trash if I were stranded on a desert island with it. After all this time together, you still don't really know me at all, do you.

...and national security Amazon has never suggested a RWNJ author or subject. My friend Al Go Rhythm knows me. OTOH, I tried to find a bracelet with "Nevertheless She Persisted" stamped on it, and that has opened me up to a lot of suggestions that I pick up other "inspirational" jewelry.

I don't care. It's really really really easy to hit Delete.

After what Bernie said about Bezos and Amazon's poor labor conditions. The shirt isn't even made in the U.S.. I don't think Bernie would approve of supporting such giant corporations that don't pay their fair share of taxes and purchasing products imported because of trade deals.

One included a baby trump blimp. Most are about woodworking tools or baby stuff. They are pretty good with their targeted advertising. The more you use them the better it gets.
