118. That would be as accurate as me saying you do nothing but scold Bernie.

I'm sure you do other things, but I don't see them.

You've been angry with Bernie for eight years, and are spouting illogical nonsense to defend it in the present. (Bernie is not responsible for Tulsi's actions.)

Your hate wasn't justified then, nor is it now.

Do try to let it go. It's for your own good. Maybe for the good of us all.

Whatever. Good day, now.
