Adelson’s benefit from the tax law was roughly $700 million, not a bad return on investment. Also his Vegas hotel the Venetian is the only non union hotel on the strip.

Same reaction here. I thought she was grouping him with other authoritarian leaders because she thought that was a good thing.,

When I saw the headline I thought for a second Sarah jumps the shark or received the PDB or intelligence estimate.

Bernie is the first to think or say such a thing. Our prince of purity and truth! Seriously, though, duh.

All of us must unite against the right to stop this. And then we must never allow corporatist to hijack our party again.
I didn’t vote for him, not even in the primaries, but I do admire Bernie’s verbal skill and clarity. He cuts right to the heart of matters.

Yep. And there’s a link between Spanky and the right-wing evangelicals in Brazil supporting Bolsonaro.

I am glad he is saying this and I hope his fans listen, but this fact was obvious in 2016 and the time to sound the alarm about it was after the CA primary in 2016. Pointing out the dangers of Trump’s authoritarian leanings in 2018 is a little like pointing out the blinking red light two years after the nuclear facility explodes.

Yes, Bernie shows how to package a consistent, coherent story. If Hillary had learned that from his example, she’d have won. Instead, Hillary was too stuck-up to learn from anyone, or listen to her advisors in the Midwest who urged her to spend more time campaigning there.
Bernie letting his campaign be run by an old Manafort associate though, and to have not disowned him since, is shameless.
I think if it is a criticism of Trump it is safe to assume it is not Sarah. She does not have that much courage.

In keeping with the neofascist white Christian nationalist misogynist authoritarianism theme, I was thinking a little more along the lines of:
You say you can’t live with what you been through
Well, ladies you can be an asshole too
You might pretend you ain’t got one on the bottom of you,
But don’t fool yourself girl
It’s lookin’ at you
Don’t fool yourself girl
It’s winkin’ at you
Don’t fool yourself girl
It’s blinkin’ at you
That’s why I say
I’m gonna ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Corn hole
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Fist fuck
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Wrist-watch; Crisco
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Pud!
Don’t fool yourself, girl
It’s goin’ right up yer poop chute
Don’t fool yourself, girl
It’s goin’ right up yer poop chute
(etc., repeats)
Aw, I knew you’d be surprised…
-Zappa, Sheik Yerbouti, 1979
That’s…um…thought provoking, Sniff.
Golly – look at the time!

Love or hate Bernie, he is one of the few that is willing to call it out as it really is. He has been warning of this oligarch takeover for years. We are now in a fight, the people vs the uber wealthy. Fights are expensive and painful. Only a leader can prevent it, someone who is willing to tell the truth (like FDR and Eisenhower were).

Musically, that song is actually brilliant…but yeah, he had a bad habit of, shall we say, pooping on his songs with lewd lyrics haha

Really, Bernie? Maybe you should talk to your fans who appear in great numbers on the Intercept and anything that Glenn Greenwald or Matt Taibbi write. They are huge fans of Russia and Putin. You should talk to them first and school them. (I do believe that Sanders is deep down a decent person who got caught up in all the fame).
