    Over and over you have shown that you are anything but "a well-read foreigner." You live in an isolated bubble accepting only what folks like Young Turks spoon feed you.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Sometimes your trolling is subtle.

        This is not one of those times.

          My dad was in the Army. I grew up all over the country and the world - living, not visiting. Still travel to Germany where my mom was from and where I have relatives.

            And you still manage to be as ignorant as you are?! That's amazing.

              True, I am not merely well-read, but incredibly well-educated and intelligent and insightful.

              I use a reasonably wide range of media sources, of which the Young Turks is one of many.

                    Coming from someone as clueless as you about the US and Europe, that is a compliment.

                        From everything you cite your "wide range" is extraordinarily narrow, all sharing one thing in common -- they tell you what you want to hear. Get out of your bubble star.

                            I wanted to hear that Sanders won it. Sadly none of them told me that he did. Hoping for 2020 though.

                              They pretty much keep regurgitating that she "won the popular vote', so yeah...

                                Since Sanders got screwed out of the nomination by the DMC, I predict he will run as an independent and split the Democratic vote which will result in a 2nd term for Trump. Why would he trust them a 2nd time around?
