I have it now via an impeccable source (merrily)

That Bernie Sanders and supporters have officially stolen the internet!

Muhuwhahahahhahaha

The revolution will not be televised. It will just assault your senses via a dial up warning cat meme and then you will know...you will know that there were subliminal Bernie messaging embeds behind all of those photos. Cute but nefarious.

What do the 1% get when they misbehave?

Bernie Sanders.

What do the rest of us get?

Bernie Sanders and...

A real move towards social and economic justice.

You can add stuff in replies, but so far it sounds like a win/win to me.

Source: BuzzFeed

Donald Trump held a rally Monday night in Las Vegas a day before the Republican presidential candidates are set to appear on stage for the final GOP debate of the year.

During the rally, multiple protesters attempting to interrupt the candidate’s speech were escorted out of the Westgate Las Vegas Resort. In a video captured by BuzzFeed News senior political writer McKay Coppins, a Trump supporter can be heard yelling “light the motherfucker on fire” as security officers restrain a protester.

Bernie Sanders updates Platform on Racial Justice after Touring Baltimore

https://berniesanders.com/issues/racial-justice/


We must pursue policies to transform this country into a nation that affirms the value of its people of color. That starts with addressing the five central types of violence waged against black, brown and indigenous Americans: physical, political, legal, economic and environmental.

The Barber Shop Dialogues

feat: Killer Mike and Senator Bernie Sanders

when: to be released tomorrow

Killer Mike recently welcomed presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders to Atlanta, where he introduced him at a rally. (They also did the Run the Jewels hand symbol together.) During that same trip, they sat down for a long conversation at Mike's barber shop, the SWAG Shop on Edgewood.

Tomorrow at 10 a.m. Eastern time, the conversation will be released as a series of six videos via Mike's YouTube and Facebook pages. The videos are titled: "Economic Freedom", "Social Justice", "A Rigged Economy", "Free Health Care: It Ain't a Big Deal", "This Country Was Started as an Act of Political Protest", and "Democrats Win When People Vote".

Brand-New Poll Shows Bernie Sanders Within Striking Distance of Hillary Clinton in Iowa

Source: Bloomberg/Register

The Bloomberg/Register survey, conducted by pollster Ann Selzer, is regarded as among the most accurate in the state. Statistics guru Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight awarded Selzer's firm a rare A+ rating in its ranking of polling firms last year.

Sanders' opportunity: The new Bloomberg poll shows likely caucusgoers prefer Clinton to Sanders on several crucial measures, including experience, foreign policy and national security, handling the economy and working with Congress. But Sanders boasts pronounced strengths of his own: By 57% to 29%, Iowa Democrats say he'd do the most to combat Wall Street power, and Sanders enjoys a 56% to 36% lead over Clinton on defending the middle class.

Iowans also see Sanders as more honest and trustworthy, and they regard the democratic socialist as the candidate who most cares about people like themselves.

To parlay those strengths into a come-from-behind victory, Sanders will want to see a surge in turnout from younger people, first-time caucusgoers and self-described liberals.

I just watched Jon Stewart

advocate for the 9-11 first responders bill in the hallway with a bunch of heroes. He may have helped convince Sen. Portman to become the 67th sponsor of this bill and help get it passed in the final week again.

I now support a ticket of:

Sanders/Stewart 2016.
The Mensch Dream Ticket!

Now that would be a guaranteed victory!
