Didnt the fiery independent junior senator from VT hear the news?

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

(16,954 posts)Some of us are busy and rely on judgment like that, especially for travelers this time of year. For instance, Im sitting on a train and was out of the loop because holiday.

(9,073 posts)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.

which is the point.
But that didnt stop you, either, it seems, so much fir advice.
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
(16,954 posts)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 wasnt breaking news on this date.
LOL
Sympthsical
(9,073 posts)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
(16,954 posts)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
(9,073 posts)Where it was like watching someone flicking at a top to keep it spinning?
Nixie
(16,954 posts)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
(16,954 posts)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.

(18,265 posts)I'm not sitting through a Jake Tapper video to see when it was filmed.
Sympthsical
(9,073 posts)Literally first four words.
I know attacks on Sanders are often reflexive and lazy, but this is almost award-winning.

(16,954 posts)Today is December 26, and it wasnt breaking news this morning.
The whole scolding is a big fail, as well.
Nixie
(16,954 posts)so your solution is a big fail. The first 4 words dont give a date; furthermore, it wasnt breaking news on todays date. Gee, these things really are funny, arent they.
