Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday introduced a Senate bill — the “Stop BEZOS Act” — that would require large employers such as Amazon.com and Walmart to pay the government for food stamps, public housing, Medicaid and other federal assistance received by their workers.
I’m not opposed to that…

Worth recalling that GOP primaries are where plausible candidates go to die.
Trump Throws Don Jr. Under Bus
How could that be?
Wouldn’t Trump have had to drag Don Jr. out from under the bus first?
Not surprising; for all the lust Donnie has for Ivanka he’d even throw her under the bus if it came down to it
We already pay for that ourselves with our taxes so the government wants to be paid twice?
No, it would be paid for by the companies instead of by the government. This isn’t a new concept, you know…
Trump is a perfect example of a guy born on third base and claims to have invented the game of baseball.
In his business dealings, he was born on third base yet somehow managed to work his way back to second or first.
In fact, if we knew more about the current state of the Trump Organization, he might be considered a batter who’s praying for a walk.
Me too. These large retailers have decimated so many jobs, businesses and livelihoods that all of us are now paying [externalities, folks] for their success.
The Sanders motion is not going to go anywhere but it will help us remember that they have had such success because the profits from the many trampled underfoot are now funneled directly into their own pocketbooks.

I think this is brilliant trolling by Bernie. In general, republicans are fine with paying workers so little that they need food stamps and other government subsidies to survive. But if you frame it as hurting the owner of the failing fake news washington post…
He can’t resist underbussing his own son for even the most unimportant, trivial details. Whoopdy-shit, you endorsed one guy and somebody else won. You know which other presidents that probably happened to from time to time? All of them, Katie.
But no, you gotta find somebody else to blame for you not batting 1000. Why not blame it on your kid? Perfect.
Abner Trumpleday.
Trump family values.
I hadn’t thought of it quite like that but I’ll bet you’re right! I did think it was interesting that he took a long-standing position on the left (make walmart pay their workers) and re-framed it as “get Bezos!” Nice trolling indeed!
It’s not my Fault
“What the hell is all of this fuss,
Over throwing him under the bus?
Friess would clearly have won,
If it weren’t for my son,
And his persistent tardiness.”
Very helpful site. Thanks!
It certainly is…and you’re welcome!
48-1 is now batting a 1000?
Truth isn’t the truth after all.
Exactly, Arpaio the Horrible, came in third in the Repub Sen primaries.
