Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) reacts to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) announcing he will vote no ....

[Lady Freedom Returns]

on Build Back Better Plan.

[lapucelle]

1. President Biden, Leader Schumer, and Representative Jayapal

have all spoken to Senator Manchin this week, and BBB will get a floor vote in January.

Didn’t the fiery independent junior senator from VT hear the news?

[Nixie]

2. Seriously! Maybe it's time for some self reflection

if his media campaign has accomplished nothing for months.

[notinkansas]

3. eyeroll

[Celerity]

4. This video is not new, it's from the same day Manchin went on Fox News and said he was a No on BBB

[lapucelle]

6. I wonder why it was posted today.

[Celerity]

7. Good question.

[Sympthsical]

5. Could've checked the date before bashing

Only takes a single click.

Or is this a Picardian, see Sanders, "Engage!" sort of thing.

[Nixie]

8. Or the OP could have checked first or posted that info.

Some of us are busy and rely on judgment like that, especially for travelers this time of year. For instance, I’m sitting on a train and was out of the loop because……holiday.

[Sympthsical]

10. The first four words of the video are "breaking news this morning"

If you're going to attack someone, it behooves one to have a passing knowledge of the content being discussed.

Literally one click and four words would've sufficed.

No one is that busy.

[lapucelle]

13. This morning is December 26. N/T

[Nixie]

14. This morning is the day after Christmas. So the video

is old…which is the point.

But that didn’t stop you, either, it seems, so much fir advice.

[Sympthsical]

15. LOL

I'm the opposite of busy. I'm being a bum waiting to go to a play.

Like I said, checking for five seconds was far less effort than hitting Reply, then type the attack on Sanders, then click post. I clicked once and saw the date. Didn't even have to watch the video.

Far less effort.

I'm just entertained by it. Like, seriously. The dislike of Sanders is that intense. Just have to stop the whole day and get it in.

It's what most people who want unity in our coalition would do. So, really, it's a kind of duty when you think about it.

[Nixie]

19. You're entertained? Why do you get all the fun?

Your scolding was a big fail, so I get to be amused, too. The first 4 words of the video which you claimed were the keys to all understanding of multiple/duplicate threads were “breaking news this morning.” But this morning was December 26, and it wasn’t breaking news on this date.

LOL

[Sympthsical]

23. I'm not scolding!

I would never scold on the net. That implies such a space can be improved.

I was just noting the Bernie Tourette's.

And since it's a serious illness, people really shouldn't make fun!

[Nixie]

24. But you don't get all the fun! I get to laugh, too. The still bros

are still mad. It was such an "illness" that it had an internet name from real reporters who noticed it.

But seriously, back to the thread Bernie is extremely repetitive, which is one of his big flaws, actually. You can interchange any of his media appearances and very little changes. edit: so go ahead and post duplicate/multiple threads and then you'll get duplicate/multiple posts, LOL.

[Sympthsical]

26. Remember that whole long subthread thing last week?

Where it was like watching someone flicking at a top to keep it spinning?

[Nixie]

27. Distractions come in all forms.

But I do remember that the first 4 words of the video posted are, "breaking news this morning" but it wasn't breaking news that morning.

If you want to chastise people, probably best to get it right.

[Nixie]

25. OH, and note how you have to keep making it personal instead of owning your fail.

Your proposed 4-word assessment of the video was completely wrong. "Breaking news this morning" was your idea, but it wasn't breaking news that morning. LOL.

[lapucelle]

9. The date could have been posted.

I'm not sitting through a Jake Tapper video to see when it was filmed.

[Sympthsical]

11. First four words would've done for it

Literally first four words.

I know attacks on Sanders are often reflexive and lazy, but this is almost award-winning.

[lapucelle]

12. The first four words of what? N/T

[Nixie]

17. Apparently the video, which says "breaking news this morning."

Today is December 26, and it wasn’t breaking news this morning.

The whole scolding is a big fail, as well.

[Nixie]

18. "Breaking news this morning." This morning was December 26,

so your solution is a big fail. The first 4 words don’t give a date; furthermore, it wasn’t breaking news on todays date. Gee, these things really are funny, aren’t they.

Answer the question. Who are you?

[msfiddlestix]

22. Unfortunately this clip opens with Manchin. An alert to that effect would have been useful for me

Maybe there's a link or transcript of only Bernie's commentary?
