You do realize ISIS is antithical to Saddam Hussein right? Hussein was a secularist, ISIS are religious apocalyptic fanatics, if Saddam Hussein was around, like him or not, he would've strung those guys up by their balls. 

As I said in another post more people die from bee stings in the US post-9/11 than from terrorist attacks, same goes for "regular" mass shootings. ISIS in actuality really has nothing centrally to do with the US. They are part of the Sunni-Shia conflict in the Middle East and that shit ain't ending any time soon (Catholics and Protestants took several hundreds years to get their shit together too before you get all indignant about it). 

I don't care who fucks who either. I hope Bill fucked Monica so hard up the ass that she hit Mariah Carey notes, Clinton was a president who balanced a budget and had common sense progressive social ideas. We would be lucky to have a president that good again. But we have to have this whole song and dance because America has a giant stuck up it's rear end about sex. I'm sure Trump has fucked his share of Eastern European "escorts" (seems to be his type).  

I hear ya, but both Saddam and ISIS needed/need to just disappear. The world is better that way.

Bill was president in much more simple times. I don't know how you make a balanced budget these days when much of the population votes for a free ride. Hilary was in danger of losing to a borderline commie. Bill managed to be considered progressive while giving the okay to DOMA, go figure!

Bernie Sanders is more of a demographic shift ongoing in America, young people don't care about the "commie" scaring, Soviet Russia might as well have bene 100 years ago. 

I do think Sanders is really the only one that genuinely gives a shit about working class people though and college kids who are saddled with monstrous debt just trying to get an education. And if honesty is a big kicker, he is the most honest of any candidate probably in 20 years+. 

But income disparity is becoming more and more one-sided, and I can admit that as someone who comes from a wealthy family. Sanders didn't win the nomination this time, but in 4-8 years it wouldn't surprise me if a candidate in the same vein eventually wins. It's a populist middle class message.
