Don't look at TV set or front pages for issues. We as a people have to determine the issues
I'm not advocating marijuana, but it should not be a federal crime. There's a lot of racial injustice with MJ arrests
A lot of lives have been ruined. I think we have to get our act together and at least decriminalize at the federal level

A Terrified Trump Throws A Twitter Tantrum After Bernie Sanders Truth Bombs His Lies

A terrified Donald Trump threw a temper tantrum on Twitter after Bernie Sanders obliterated the billionaire by fact bombing his lies.

During an interview on CBS’ Face The Nation, Sen. Sanders said, “Meanwhile, interestingly enough, John, this is a guy who does not want to raise the minimum wage. In fact, he has said that he thinks wages in America are too high. But he does want to give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to top three-tenths of one percent.”

Trump responded by throwing a fit on Twitter:
BernieSanders-who blew his campaign when he gave Hillary a pass on her e-mail crime, said that I feel wages in America are too high. Lie!

(snip)
Trump repeated the same point about wages the next morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe
