    Well, all I know is that Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager in 2016 called me a Hillary-bot, simply for saying on Facebook, that while I was voting for Bernie in my state's primary, I would vote for Hillary in November if she was the nominee. That's not some random troll, that's SANDERS' CAMPAIGN MANAGER! He's not the campaign manager this time around, but I'm pretty sure he's still working for the campaign. Bernie needs to either weed these guys out or get them to keep their mouths shut.

    It's still better having a President and then getting a chance to fight for the Senate in the midterms

    Tell it to the millions that Bloomberg put into keeping him in control back in 2016?

    Agreed. Trumpanzees and Sanders supporters are, in a way, two sides of the same coin, and that’s troubling. As for the notion that Sanders isn’t to blame for the toxic behavior of his followers, that’s bullshit. Sanders is ultimately responsible for the actions of his followers, if he wanted to clean up their act, all he has to do is fire anyone in his campaign associated with nonsense like doxxing, and publicly disavow all the ugliness done in his name in the strongest possible terms. It’s as simple as that, the fact he hasn’t done so says to me that Sanders has no problem with his supporters behaving badly.

    You're being very dismissive about the abuse the Bernie Bros and how badly his own staff targeted people who disagreed with them. Nobody would care about this had it been about calling someone a "Hillarybot." Weaver was awful, but this didn't end when he didn't return, that's why I said Sanders staff not Weaver specifically. How do you feel about doxxing? That's been a thing this go around, which which was encouraged by his press secretary - Briahna Gray Joy.

    None of these people were fired.

    This, and the '16, primaries have had numerous controversies over this sort of behaviour from Sanders campaign, there is no excuse not to be aware of it.

    There's more but I think this is enough for now.

    Federal judges' association calls emergency meeting after DOJ intervenes in case of Trump ally Roger Stone

    WASHINGTON – A national association of federal judges has called an emergency meeting Tuesday to address growing concerns about the intervention of Justice Department officials and President Donald Trump in politically sensitive cases, the group’s president said Monday.

    Philadelphia U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe, who heads the independent Federal Judges Association, said the group “could not wait” until its spring conference to weigh in on a deepening crisis that has enveloped the Justice Department and Attorney General William Barr.

    “There are plenty of issues that we are concerned about,” Rufe told USA TODAY. “We’ll talk all of this through.”

    Rufe, nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush, said the group of more than 1,000 federal jurists called for the meeting last week after Trump criticized prosecutors' initial sentencing recommendation for his friend Roger Stone and the Department of Justice overruled them.

    Trump also took a swipe at the federal judge who is set to preside at Stone’s sentencing hearing Thursday.

    Biden Surrogate ‘Forced to Resign’ from Democratic Group Over Doctored Bernie Sanders Video

    https://lawandcrime.com/2020-electio...sanders-video/

    A surrogate for Joe Biden‘s presidential campaign was, in her words in a group chat, “forced to resign” on Monday from Pennsylvania Young Democrats after promoting a doctored video of fellow 2020 contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and for allegedly sharing anti-Semitic tweets about him and his online supporters.

    Lindy Li previously served as the treasurer for the Pennsylvania Young Democrats, a position she has since admittedly resigned.

    “Biden Surrogate [Lindy Li] as forced to resign as Treasurer of the PA Young Democrats after spreading doctored video of Bernie Sanders and making antisemitic comments about him,” tweeted immigration paralegal Jamie Agustin, who broke the story on Twitter.

    Li later confirmed that she resigned in a Twitter post–but disputed the circumstances surrounding her departure.

    “Lindy’s doctored video—which was edited to appear that Sanders was praising Communist dictators—has 2.5 million views,” Agustin added in another tweet–which contained screenshots of two allegedly anti-Semitic tweets authored and retweeted by Li.

    “According to leaked messages Lindy sent in a private pro-Biden group chat, the Biden campaign knows about all of this,” she added–suggesting that Biden’s recent public denunciation of Sanders’ online supporters was coming from a place of cynicism and dishonesty.

    Agustin herself later made that same salient criticism:

    Agustin also shared screenshots from several pages of a leaked group chat titled “JIHVE BIDEN FRONT” in which Li describes the context of her separation from the Young Democrats of America affiliate group.

    “I was just forced to resign as Treasurer of PA Young Dems because of my anti-Sanders tweets,” Li says in the leaked chat. “No more fundraisers. Screw them.”

    “The [Biden] campaign is furious over this,” Li wrote in another series of group chat messages. “We’ve gone to the press. Thanks for standing with me, my dears. What a day/life. I asked for my money back. So at least I’ll be getting that.”

    What pundits were you reading? Not a single one I read felt the Democrats had any chance at all of flipping the Senate, and were pointing out that merely not losing seats in the unfriendliest map in decades was a long shot at best.

    But I hear Bloomberg is no fascist or Authoritarian. I mean only HE can beat Trump, by being a "DEMOCRAT!" and all that.
    His past means nothing! I'm just being a BROS!

    Lol.



    **** Bloomberg, if the's the Nominee the Democrats will splinter like the Wig Party, and deserve the Loss.

    PAY.ATTENTION.DEMOCRATS.
    All of this longing for the days of no change ain't happening. Times are changing, he days of Oneal and Reagan, and "My GOOD SIR!" are done.

    You seem to love defending the centrists and the establishment. Do you care to post their attacks on us Bros (I guess there are no Bernie Girls, considering his support comes from Minorities and women, Ignore us huh?).

    Please be honest in your posting if the Bros are bad what about the Warren women, the Khive, and Boot edge edge boys? I guess the Establishment is so sophisticated they only attack us on the air, in Newspapers, digitally, and lie on TV. But that's okay. Because the Establishment is right? I guess you'll be defending Bloomberg next against us bros? Lol.




    The WOKE crowd ousted a comedian, Al Franken, from the Democratic party, but they love them some Bloomie.

    Throw in all the Republican authored gerrymandering, and the task of flipping was made all the more difficult for Democrats. I’m no political expert, in fact, I’m dumb as a post about it all, but I’ve been of the opinion that Dems were fortunate to have won back the House, and that was only because Mitch McConnell sacrificed it to ensure Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment on SCOTUS.

    I also fear that was genuine. Holy rollers are notorious one issue voters, and their jihad is abortion, when Trump promised to kill Roe v. Wade if elected (a promise he’s so far failed to keep, btw), that made him their messiah. Oh, yeah, he was also their great WHITE hope after eight years of that uppity black man with the Muslim sounding surname in the Oval Office.
