Go, Senator Sanders!

DO IT, BERNIE!

KILL AUSTERITY, BERNIE!

PRESIDENT BIDEN'S UNITY CHOICE OF BERNIE SANDERS IS PROOF THAT THE TIMES ARE A'CHANGIN'

1. Yayyyyy!!!

[sandensea]

2. Defense subcontractors aren't looking forward to being in the hot seat, that's for sure

Which is why they donate millions to try to keep Congress as Repug as possible.

[ancianita]

4. Good. They'll just have to get used to being kept on a short budget leash.

They throw away too much military contract money, anyway. They represent the biggest waste in military spending.

7. How MANY swamp creatures owe their fortunes to the F-35 & the Freedom-class littoral combat ships

(among other boondoggles)

It's all so Orwellian.

Every time some Republican - especially someone in the MIC - slaps the word 'Freedom' on something, hold on to your wallet.

[ancianita]

8. Exactly. It's the vampire fascist protection racket.

[George II]

3. He'll just be the chairman of the Budget Committee, which will follow Biden's and...

....the Democratic Party's policies and proposals.

A chairman doesn't establish policy.

11. Why piss on good news?

[George II]

13. It's not pissing on good news, just pointing out the reality of being a Committee Chairman.

15. I agree, this is a happy thread.

Congratulations Bernie! We need him!

[luv2fly]

16. Exactly!

[mysteryowl]

5. Thank you Ancianita!

These clips are very moving!

Bernie will now hold, arguably, the most powerful position in the senate.
Congratulations Bernie! You deserve it! America needs you!

[ancianita]

6. Happy to get some hope out there!

Cuz Bernie's gonna get our Biden administration moving! And he don't take no guff!

[mysteryowl]

10. 3 co-equal branches of government, even within the same party.

We desperately need a redistribution of wealth and I think Biden/Harris will help all they can to do this.

[ancianita]

12. 3 branches and America's gonna have a helluva triumvirate -- Biden, Harris, Sanders.

[George II]

14. "Most powerful position in the Senate"? I think Chuck Schumer might disagree.

9. K&R
