Though things could change, the Jussie Smollett incident and the Bloomberg story are two separate things.

Weirdly all the "B"s were backwards…

The cost to have it done hardly put a dent in the 500 million Bloomberg spent so far. I am sure we will see more of this as he gets more desperate.

This is such a transparently bogus accusation, it could have come out of Karl Rove’s 2000 playbook.

Fuck Bloomeberg, and fuck all of his fellow Republicans.

I prefer to think it was Amy and Pete, who all this time were pretending to hate each other when they’re actually in league. We Midwesterners are a crafty lot!

“We don’t know who is responsible for this vandalism, but we do know it echoes language from the Sanders campaign and its supporters,” Sheekey said at the time.

Not a Bernie supporter, but blaming Sanders for this screams of opportunism.

The grafitti could have very well come from Trump supporters or even Americans duped by Russian propaganda.

Bloomberg donated $3 million to Republican governor Rick Snyder. He’s a whiny little b1tch if he can’t fork up $100 for cleaning up some graffiti.

“we do not know who is directly responsible”

Should have stopped there.

One gets the sense that Bloomers views any Dem voters who aren’t supporting him as Sanders supporters.

I dont have a problem as long as he paid them at least min. wage.

His campaign paid the sub-contractor and what the prisoners got is proobably way lower than minimum wage.

“In a statement, the Bloomberg campaign acknowledged that those claims were “fundamentally accurate,” but emphasized that the campaign had been unaware of the sub-vendor’s use of prison labor until the Intercept reached out for comment. The campaign said it immediately cut ties with ProCom.”

He obviously doesn’t know that much about Bernie’s voters.

The next debate is probably going to be Warren throwing Bloomberg into a blender and creating Billionaire Shakes

Unpossible, right?

The Intercept is never “fundamentally accurate.”

Right?

Who can tell from 35,000 feet while we are flying over?

He may not pry any of them loose but maybe he just wants to prevent more recruitment.

A small part of that craftiness is devoted to dissuading you from landing there …
