1. They don't care, Bernie. All they want is to transfer wealth and dismantle the gov't.

If we die, that's just collateral damage. I hope we all see their karma come to fruition and soon.

2. spot on,+ in these speaches he needs to always attack the $1.2 trillion/yr war machine& the Fed Res

3. The problem is Bernie.....

...they just don't give a shit. So arguing with the use of your more than substantial logic doesn't matter. They can't hear you. It just sounds like a buzzing noise to them. And most of the Dems we've got in Congress are too beholden to the rich to stand behind you.

What everyone needs to come to understand is this: "You can't argue with greed. Open up a history book and you'll see that the greedy can't be curtailed nor halted with reason. Greed must be eliminated systemically or it will just keep destroying. Because that's all greed knows how to do. It keeps on taking, taking, and taking until someone makes the greedy stop. FORCE is all they understand and fear."

- We need a REVOLUTION and until we have one, nothing will change.....

4. I feel foolish asking this ..but...

I know VP Joe Biden is President of the Senate, and the Senator who is president pro tempore to preside over the Senate in the absence of the vice president is Dan Inouye, SO who is the Madam President that Bernie Sanders is addressing?

Thanks.

5. they have a temporary presiding officer sit in the chair

and usually it is a newbie Senator unless there is something important going on.

6. Thank you for that! I was feeling quite confused.

I wonder then, who she is.

again, thank you.

7. It's just whoever is sitting at the special desk. All the senators of the majority take turns

sitting in the special desk with the gavel.
