Who the hell goes after Bernie? He’s one of the few politicians that is actually liked.
nazis and pinkertons, probably
Because someone is afraid of the fact that
Wouldn't put it past Bibi and his supporters

Anyone who is liked by many has at least a few who see them as a threat.
Well I laughed at your joke.
I'm not sure what you mean here. He has been opposing support of Israel for quite some time now.
I'm not sure if anybody DIDN'T support Israel immediately following Hamas' terror attack, but Israel's conduct quickly changed some hearts and minds.
I don't know what his stance was at the beginning of the conflict, but I'm not going to fault him him if he was supporting the victim of a terror attack.
But he has been calling for the U.S. to stop funding Israel's war for some time now.
No. You don't get frame a statement like that and then walk away from it. You said he gobbled Israel's knob and now he has to walk back his vile statements.
And now you just doubled down on it. So tell us, how did he "gobble the knob", and what was Bernie's vile statement, that he is now walking back?
Was it?
Cause that doesn't seem like knob gobbling.
Maybe it was when he went on Face the Nation and said:
Cause that doesn't seem very vile either.
Oh maybe the other commenter is just full of shit and doesn't even listen to any news sources of do even the most basic reading. Maybe they're just some bitter little troll sitting in a basement somewhere.
edit: Maybe it was in July of 2023, even before the October 7th attack, when he boycotted Israels Presidential speech to a session of congress, saying:
What a strange cherry-picked, contextless quote to pretend to get upset about.
You claimed he'd said vile things and "gobbled Israels knob" whatever that means, he's clearly done no such thing.
Lol, you're so obvious, little chode load. Go try to waste someone elses time I don't have time to dunk on you all day.
My dude, your passion and zeal for all things truth liberty and justice are being distorted by your use of the medium.
If one of the most progressive and liberal politicians in one of the highest offices in the land isn't liberal or progressive enough for you - I get it. But you need to understand you're not going to get the world you want by commenting. Or making videos. Or marching in the street.
You'll hopefully move it in the right direction, yes. But actual change - actual decisions and signatures that make heavy loads move and people get things are all done in boring flourescent-lit office buildings that don't pay much money at all. And you're not doing that, we're guessing.
Besides, Bernie's one of The Good Ones. He's got a whole career you can check out. Attacking his office is So Not Cool, that your defending-the-attack-by-inference is also not cool. That's why people are mad.
If that was your point, well, then you did wrong again. But if it wasn't and you're just trying to get us there as fast as possible through any means necessary, you might think about re-phrasing or retracting some of that.
Man, you sound like the zen I wish I could harness and feel. I really appreciate your tone and presence.
And just like that, the boundary testing from the American extremists started their next chapter. Let's see how this labrat does. If he gets away they'll burn others offices, if those succeed, they'll start with private residences. Inch by inch, they will become more aggressive. If someone gets caught, they pull back a bit.. But it doesn't stop until they have something larger to point their extremism in the direction of.
Self/community defense is the only solution, unfortunately we live in a state* so this is mostly illegal.
Not state like Iowa, state as in a group of people saying "I feel entitled to your life, resources, and freedom and can call you a criminal and kill or incarcerate you and any self/community defense is criminal too".
And any sort of well regulated militia you try to keep would get raided by a veritable Alphabet Soup of agents. So community defense is even less likely.
Yep, this is part of what I mean by state and why unity is key to any real social advancement (not faux advancement like iphones).
Anyone with a red MAGA hat?
Must have been
the windantifa.MAGAaron Bushnell is tired of Bernie not saying it.
Somebody should check where the 3 toed MTG Margibomber was at the time
Roll that beautiful grainy surveillance footage!
Space Laser Lady. I didn't remember her actual name or anything about her other than the fact that she said that Jews have satellites with lasers on them that start wildfires around the world. There is nothing else you really need to know about her because that explains it all.
This is her yesterday…
MTG, Sitting Congresswoman, Says Earthquake and Eclipse Are Warnings From God
The Georgia congresswoman described the natural phenomena as “strong signs to tell us to repent"
Just when you thought she'd already said the stupidest thing she could ever say.
I feel for you, magic is always my first thought too. But tragically it's about something significantly more toxic.
Magic is MtG, lowercase t. MTG is the moron who won a seat in the House of Representatives by having a friend threaten her opponent's family.
Nah, they would have sent the Pinkertons after him.
It's a Trump supporter, they're all evil trash.
Made me check the email I got from his campaign to see if it was about that (dismissed the notification without reading it). It wasn’t. It was another request for money.
