Trump has already lost his, so Bernie is the only one left.
What would he have got if he had threatened to behead his neighbor? Or the local police chief? A lot more than 15 months, I’d bet.

It’s long past time we do something about the media situation in this country. I think that no matter what practical, clear, or even compromised political solutions the Dems come up with the MSM will always sabotage those efforts by propagating right-wing propaganda as ‘news’.
