Van, one day you too will be old and kids with disparage your age. And your supposed infirmities. Get ready for it now would be my suggestion. And thereā€™s nothing wrong with being a socialist either. In fact I might vote for Bernie just to spite you.

ā€œIā€™m in the camp that says anybody who is a 79,000 year-old, Muppet-looking socialistā€“ā€ Jones said as Baldwin scoffed.
ā€œI love Bernie Sanders!ā€ he said. ā€œAnybody like that who comes within a hair of beating the Clintons, that letā€™s you know thereā€™s somethingā€™s going on just beyond the candidate.ā€

I sometimes think all black folks have a unique and wonderful gift of being able to clown the people we love and like the most. Love or hate Sanders, thatā€™s pretty hilarious.

Man, Iā€™m just glad itā€™s OK to make fun of white males still.

Anyways, itā€™s not like itā€™s exactly an inaccurate comment.

Well, when having a respectable opinion gets you ignored, I suppose you have to be a dick to get heard.

Or, as Mel Brooks said, itā€™s good to be daā€™ king.

Assuming Beaker signed the release forms, ā€œMeep & Changeā€ would make a nice campaign slogan.

Before careful repugs, you may just have a Canadian anchor baby who was raised by a Cuban Castro communist on your ticket. Try getting that one by the American people.

Well, it wasnā€™t so much Bernie, but that Beaker guy who stood next to him.

I just watched part of a Sanders rally on MSNBC. It was powerful stuff. He called The Walton Family the biggest welfare queens in history, (paraphrase) because they donā€™t pay their employees enough, and most of them have be on some kind of government assistance to survive,powerful stuff.

MSNBC has shown almost every Trump rally in full. This is the first time I have seen even a part of a Sanders rally,and it was much more interesting

Letā€™s see. Bernie arrived in Iowa down by 50 points. Why was that? The guy was in Congress for a hundred years and yet no one knew who he was. You would think Congress was a witness protection program. In all of that time he never achieved a major accomplishment. Then he shows up in Iowa promising to lead a revolution to convince the Repugs to give up their conservative beliefs. Does he have a path to that end, well not so much? So Bernie proved you can get people to vote you you if you promise the world.

When you say arrived, you mean almost two years ago. Yes?

Maybe Iā€™m reading it wrong, but it sounded like he was totally joking on Bernie in a fun way, and actually complimenting the fact that at his age and despite his appearance, Sanders managed to slay the youth vote, take on the Clintons, and he only lost by a hair. I donā€™t see it as any different than saying in 2008 that the ā€œskinny, big earred, guy with the funny nameā€ managed to beat the Clintons. Itā€™s meant to be a ribbing.

Of course, and Iā€™ll bet Van Jones will be the first to make fun his old ass when he gets to be that age.
