Hard for me to forget 2016 and "Our Revolution." So happy to see he is doing what he can to stop the felon and support Democrats.

Others, it seems, are working on their income taxes.

Silence is complicity, in my book, and the only excuse is that people who know to STFU when a takedown is in the works (remember OBL?) are keeping quiet for a Trumptanic moment, examples:

Purely speculation.

I just got back from feeding the black swans (Just Kidding).

It's something else to keep track of the stuff (links) I feel need sharing.

Working on it!

At least that’s what one of the clowns on Faux was trying to say the other day(I only heard about it either here or Crooks and Liars. Would never let my mind watch any of that crap!)

We need to come out strong in the midterms, if they are actually held and are legit.

He has been right all along, the propaganda for the uneducated drounded his message before but maybe just maybe some more people will pay attention now.

he touches people's mind and hearts. He speaks to their very real worries and fears. He also offers ideas for possible solutions. Some are practical; some aren't. But at least he's offering them. The democrats are doing themselves and the rest of us a disservice if they continue to hold Bernie at arm's length, simply because he names himself as a member of a party of one in another political party. He caucuses with Democrats, supports Democrats, and campaigns for Democrats. He isn't now, nor has he been, the only politician in this position. But he is the best known among voters. I swear, *everyone* knows who you're talking about when you say "Bernie." It's just a crying shame he's too old to run for office again. He's the one person I'm sure who could beat the pants off trump.

That's only part of the crowd. It wrapped all the way around the building.

I'd bet we would not be here now.

Here is a guy who has not changed his message, and who has been 100% correct. Seems like a lot of the other opposition is jumping on the fundraising bandwagon, but these two don't seem to be doing that at all.
