Bernie voted in favor of the wall and in favor of lifting Russian sanctions. Bernie also voted against immigration reform. He had an opportunity to challenge the electoral vote based on disqualified electors, but instead confirmed the vote. Bernie cannot be trusted.
I don’t know EXACTLY what the rules say, but he was a Democrat in name only when he ran last time. That’s part of my problem w/ him. He’s a Democrat to use our money & resources, but then quickly switches back when it no longer serves him. I hope the rules are tighter this time. https://t.co/YiduUf6ZHd
Bernie Sanders as he launches 2020 campaign: “We have got to look at candidates, you know, not by the color of their skin, not by their sexual orientation or their gender and not by their age.” https://t.co/JOCxKsKACc
At a time where folks feel under attack because of who they are, saying race or gender or sexual orientation or identity doesn’t matter is not off, it’s simply wrong.
Bernie just told y'all exactly what his 2016 campaign was about and what his 2020 campaign will be about : ignoring the importance of race, gender, and sexual orientation.
just logged on and saw the bernie news and BERNIE supporters telling people to not tweet today if we don’t have anything nice to say lolololololol please log tf off and go do cartwheels in a parking garage if al gore’s internet upsets you that much.
y’all didn’t experience your candidate *actually* getting vetted last time because they were such a long shot nobody gave a shit. we tried to tell y’all but y’all ain’t wanna listen. welp… pic.twitter.com/S3uNhCHKeK
Seems to me that Bernie’s wife was in charge of some VT University and made some questionable decisions before retiring that led that University into creditation and bankruptcy problems. I do not remember the particulars, but remember having read the article online from a VT or NE newspaper.

I realize that I’m a senior citizen but I haven’t gotten over people deliberately tearing the fabric on their blue jeans to be “stylish” and that goes back to the 1970’s. This “noose look” is far worse, however. How could anyone be so insensitive and stupid as to think that walking around in a garment of some sort with a “decorative” noose would be in any remote way fashionable. Someone had better inform the folks at Burberry, known for their traditionally-styled coats and sportswear and signature plaid trim, that nooses are never decorative. Nor are they ever funny. I’m assuming that the model was not very bright; any intelligent person would have refused to wear it. If I could afford to buy something from Burberry, i would boycott them forever.
Fake woke crowd hates Obama, doesn't think Black folks should vote and works to destroy any Black presidential candidate. These clowns sound just like the white supremacists they claim to hate. Something fishy going on….
Oversight Committee Chair Elijah Cummings:
“On February 12, 2019, the President met with nuclear power developers at the White House about sharing nuclear technology with countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia.”.
He said the committee was tipped off by whistleblowers regarding the WH “rushing through a plan to transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia…and warned about political appointees ignoring directives from top ethics advisors at the White House who repeatedly and unsuccessfully ordered senior Trump Administration officials to halt their efforts. (Guardian)
Rep Ro Khanna: “It is shocking that Trump Administration officials would sell our nuclear secrets to the Saudis when the Saudis are supplying weapons to Al Qaeda against our troops and killing civilians in Yemen.”
This is horrifying, and infuriating. WTH is individual 1 even thinking? Selling nuclear technology to the Saudis is…. wait…. selling…hmm. Yep, there’s money in it for the GOPigs. Makes me sick.
POLL: Do you support expanding the #SupremeCourt by adding seats?
With the GOP stealing #MerrickGarland's seat and forcing #BrettKavanaugh, an accused sexual assaulter and perjurer, onto the bench, is it time to take this aggressive measure?

That truth was most vividly seen in the 2016 campaign and election. Hillary Clinton was ignored except for the fictional hysteria over her emails. Every single appearance by Donald Trump was covered, as have been his questionable “rallies” now that he is (hard to write these words) president. Mainstream media refused to give television time to President Obama but Trump gets all the coverage he wants – and then some.
It’s odd that Trump is complimentary towards Sanders, imho.
Stopping short of an endorsement, Pres Trump says he likes @BernieSanders and wishes him well. Thinks it'll be interesting to see how Sanders does. Doesn't think he was well treated by the Clinton campaign in 2016.

Howdy TOD! Was is my birthplace Charlotte for the All-Star game this weekend and had a friend give me the heads up….now confirmed: my random PBO/sports contributions….if you want to see the president live and having a good time tune in tomorrow on ESPN 9PM EST. Dudette, I’m pulling for Carolina even though I grew up an N.C. State fan….Duke is the evil empire 😎
Obama is a big North Carolina fan, but will also get to see Duke freshman sensation Zion Williamson up close and in person, just as LeBron James did last week during the Virginia game. “I love him,” Carolina coach Roy Williams said Monday of Obama. “But if he’s coming to the game, I’m sorry Mr. President but I’m not going to be looking at you. “And I do love him. I though he was great for our country, but during that game it’s ‘Frankly, my dear.’”
I read somewhere today that the great senator from Vermont, the socialist who promised free everything to a mostly white flock a couple of years ago, has decided to return to the scene once more. I am speechless. What wouldn’t he do to help Trump? Does he want to step in where Russia cannot? Or, is it in collusion with Russia?
Then again why should he care? He is focused on himself and his morbid ambition and has a wife devoted to the same. This is insane. Where is the respect and love for the greater good???

Bernie Sanders seems to be the frontrunner for now based on fundraising. That means the onus is on his supporters to be as kind and generous to other Democrats so that we can all unite behind the eventual winner and not burn any bridges. He’s not the insurgent candidate anymore.
Bernie Sanders has over a long period of time cultivated a community of cynics whose main activity is often the bashing of Democrats. To ask them to now be generous to us in some fashion is a pipe dream. They are not that kind of cat.
A wide-ranging disinformation campaign aimed at Democratic 2020 candidates is already under way on social media, with signs foreign state actors are driving some of the activity.
MOSCOW (Reuters): “Moscow will match any U.S. move to deploy new nuclear missiles closer to Russia by stationing its own missiles closer to the United States or by deploying faster missiles or both, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.”
PUTIN: “It’s their right to think how they want. But can they count? I’m sure they can. Let them count the speed and the range of the weapons systems we are developing. Russia will be forced to create and deploy types of weapons which can be used not only in respect of those territories from which the direct threat to us originates, but also in respect of those territories where the centers of decision-making are located. These weapons, by their tactical and technical specifications, including their flight time to the command centers I’m talking about, will fully correspond to the threats that will be directed against Russia.”
-Putin ready to escalate! Eh instead of watching the quick sly fox jump over the lazy dog how about REMOVING blatantly compromised russian asset and threat to all inhabitants of planet Earth from our White House TODAY.
Actually he said “you don’t need 8 women around you, twerking”. Truth and hilarity.
PBO and Steph Curry are such an authentic combo. (Right away this one’s tears flowed over the Native American intro.) Remembering a great discussion…how Steph was influenced by his father, self-confidence, PBO’s experience growing up, single moms, respect, respecting girls, masculinity, Steph saying the athletes in his team are learning to open up about their experiences. PBO saying women carry the double burden of sexism and racism. PBO said he’d be working through the foundation for the rest of his life, but nothing changes if citizens aren’t paying attention/educating themselves about how local decisions are made, so make sure that elected officers are truly acting on behalf of the community…if not replace them or step up yourself. PBO: Find out who makes the decisions in your community!
–thank you. beautiful crowd, beautiful speakers.
The new normal: the President of the United States, sworn to defend the Constitution, abusing his office to attack a Constitutionally protected institution as an enemy of the people.
He goes further every day. It's gone from his personal account to his official position.
This keeps me up at noght…esp when one party does not seem to care about the constitution and democratic norms…
The Peaceful transfer of Power…will it end with Donald Trump…will his party go along with it…
Not convinced this fascist admin w/ assistance of its shadow govt in Moscow won't do everything in its power to prevent an election in 2020 or that they'll honor results & vacate the WH when they lose. But I love y'all's confidence in believing an election is all it will take🤞🏾🤞🏾
No, Trump will vacate the White House when his behind is voted out of office. I have no worry about that. In fact, I’d be surprised if Trump was even in a position to run in 2020 given that Mueller and the SDNY attorneys are gunning for him. Every day another shoe drops on one of his million and one scandals.
Health care is a big issue. Today at TPV, we are starting a series on systems of universal health coverage across the globe, including non-single payer systems. In the preface, I lay out preliminary concepts, unique challenges and a hypotheses. https://t.co/hNF1x7psZJ
Experts want you to know that Putin’s threats “don’t signify much”. Nothing to see here – only ramped up rhetoric about ol’ nukes.
Putin only said he would aim missiles at Europe and the United States if Trump deploys missiles closer to Russia, Rumania and Poland..
Putin today: “Russia will be forced to create and deploy types of weapons which can be used not only in respect of those territories from which the direct threat to us originates, but also in respect of those territories where the centers of decision-making are located.”
It only means that the nice, strategic Russian weapons would reach their targets a bit sooner, by say 10 or twelve minutes. No big deal. And anyway the new weapons will be focused on the U.S. and not Europe if they quit being our allies so much. So go back to sleep.
“While Putin’s speech itself does not represent an alarming new threat to the United States, what’s troubling is how the end of the INF could shape the future of global security.” (Parvaz, TP)

Those who didn't watch and take in the full My Brother's Keeper panel with President Obama and Steph Curry are really showing themselves with these tweets.

The MSM has bent over backwards to accommodate Trump’s every whim. It’s amazing how much they have done to normalize his misconduct and criminality.
So Very Tragic!
This is horrible. Everyone involved at every level should face charges.
Please run for Governor of Texas!
Ditto!
Susanne I agree! O’Rourke could change Texas and bring it back into the blue. He is young, has so much time to learn and become a great leader.

Obama is a big North Carolina fan, but will also get to see Duke freshman sensation Zion Williamson up close and in person, just as LeBron James did last week during the Virginia game. “I love him,” Carolina coach Roy Williams said Monday of Obama. “But if he’s coming to the game, I’m sorry Mr. President but I’m not going to be looking at you. “And I do love him. I though he was great for our country, but during that game it’s ‘Frankly, my dear.’”

As a Carolina fan I don’t care to see Zion dunks.
Coach Roy Williams, I love you for loving our President. I’m sure those Trumpsters don’t like hearing Coach saying that about President Obama.
OMG, John Legend is singing What’s Going On.
President Obama is speaking.
He has such a great sense of humor. lol
