Yeah, it all seemed a little out there.

Although it did remind me of all of Obama's executive orders, bypassing congress. Has Trump been doing that as much as Obama did?

Here's the numbers
Bill Clinton[17] 308
George W. Bush[17] 291
Barack Obama[17] 276
Donald Trump (as of September 10, 2019)[17][18] 122
Trump is on pace for 183 for 1 term, 386 over 2 terms, if the pace continues.

It's almost like socialism is inherently flawed!

Also, I'm quite certain this ends his chances to be president. You really think the richest most powerful people in the country will sit back and let Bernie take their money? If they do allow it, then I guess we can all stop pretending there's an Illuminati.

Bernie can't take their money. Taxation happens in congress, and they're mostly bought and owned by billionaires.

Someone was posting the evolution of Bernie's tweets where it started that millionaires were bad, then millionaires and billionaires were bad, and then he became a millionaire and it went to just billionaires being bad.

I have issues with Facebook, but not wanting the politician that's threatened to come after them to win isn't really... even newsworthy, I don't think.
