Will he take a bulldozer and bulldoze them all?

Call out the Army and have them shoot every member of Congress, so there won't be any of that pesky bill writing and voting and committee-ing and tabling that usually accompanies any law changes?

He'd better shoot the Supreme Court while he's at it, too--because they might object to his ban-hammer, particularly if there are states that have private prisons under their purview. You know, states like VERMONT--that outsource their prisoners (did you know they have one of the highest incarceration rates for black people? You have a better shot of getting arrested while black in VT than you do in Ferguson!) to a PRIVATE prison in Michigan: https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2015/aug/12/vermont-michigan-prisons/

You'd think Bernie would have done something about the situation in his OWN STATE before he started pontificating about the nation....but noooooo....!

LOL....keep trying....

Lift with your knees when you're tossing that kitchen sink, now....
