Dont forget to send Bernie more $$$ today.

[JaneyVee]

Coriander crab salad with lemon poached prawns and lime crema...just like the 99%.

[onehandle]

1. Unicorn chow ain't cheap. nt

[workinclasszero]

4. Hahahahahahaha!

I love it!!

[Loudestlib]

59. I'm not sending him anything today.

Because I donated last night. Something I'll never do for Hillary.

[snooper2]

2. corn fed chicken breast? How do you feed a breast corn? How do you feed a breast period?

I thought it was the other way around

[JaneyVee]

5. UNACCEPTABLE!!!

[workinclasszero]

3. Boy someone is livin high off the hog huh?

They need more money to crush the life out of mom & pop t-shirt sellers that cross the great man also.

[JaneyVee]

7. Burning fossil fuels, eating animals, giving speeches to European oligarchs!

Who is Bernie Sanders?

[George II]

61. High on the hog $27 at a time.

[workinclasszero]

63. Yup

All them 27 bucks adds up, looks like.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

6. Best part of that?

His logo on the top.

The optics, Senator...it's the optics of it all ~

[PaulaFarrell]

8. another pointless shit-stirring divisive thread

Off to the trash with you

[athena]

11. Pointless?

I don't think it's pointless to point out that someone's actions don't match his rhetoric.

99%, indeed.

[JaneyVee]

13. Look at all that corporate food, Coca Cola! Starbucks! Minute Maid!

[PaulaFarrell]

14. ok not pointless

If your point is to be a shit-stirrer, then mission accomplished

[athena]

19. The hypocrisy doesn't disturb you in the least?

It's "shit-stirring" to point out that a presidential candidate's rhetoric clashes with his actions?

I don't think you would be making the argument you're making if this were about Hillary and not Bernie.

[PaulaFarrell]

28. i would not criticise her for eating this menu on a plane

Why would I? Pasta with meatballs? Potato salad? Risotto? Seafood salad? Those are all pretty ordinary meals fancified to make them sound better than they are.If it was lobster and caviar, i might feel differently but at the end of the day the airline mm makes the menu decisions. Are you saying you wanted him to airline shop until he found one with a suitably plebian menu? Because I still think you'd have found s reason to call him a hypocrite.

[2naSalit]

58. I suspect

that it is a handler from the campaign who actually selects the menu options from a broad list supplied by the charter operation whose plane they rode in... was not a general airline menu.

[JaneyVee]

15. Have you personally ever eaten one of those cheeses?

[PaulaFarrell]

22. no but im not really into Cheese

I've had everything else on the menu though - Jesus, it is airplane food, not Michelin star, you need to get a grip. No, I don't believe Bernie should have to eat soggy sandwiches on a ten hour flight.

[all american girl]

29. The last plane ride I had, which was Sat, I could have a pop, if I paid for it.

And I've taken that overseas flight a few times...never ate like that.

[PaulaFarrell]

33. i fly transatlantic every few years

You get two free meal plus drinks. In first class, you would get a menu like that. Its really not special.

[all american girl]

35. Army doesn't pay for first class.

The meals I've had are nothing special....but I will say, once I took a flight from Japan to Hawaii. Eel was one of the meals...I'm adventuresome, but that was pushing it for me.

[PaulaFarrell]

43. i don't go first class either

But I would expect a politician with an important meeting the next day to. That flight is a killer.

[all american girl]

46. Oh yeah, you're peaching to the choir on that

[uponit7771]

38. Nah, Sanders lives like the 1% and rakes in cash for Team Used Car

[athena]

9. Wow.

Just wow.

[NurseJackie]

10. Amazing. (Tone deaf?) He'd have been better off ...

... if he'd spent that money on more ads in NY. But, what's done is done ... at least they have nice memories of their chance encounter with the Pontiff and some family photos, and maybe some interesting trinkets from the Vatican Gift shop.

[whatchamacallit]

12. It's kinda psycho that people who support a politician worth over hundred million play this game

[QC]

18. Oh please, you know Bill 'n Hill are eating Kraft mac 'n Cheese

by the end of the month just like the humble man and women of the people they are.

[cherokeeprogressive]

26. Yeah they're eating GENERIC Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. $.35 a box.

Hillary even rides the subway when she's in New York City!

[ecstatic]

24. It's the hypocrisy, not the wealth. He sold his soul to the NRA

and Lockheed Martin but still pretends to be holier than everyone else. And how can he attack Hillary on climate change and fossil fuels then charter a private jet to Rome for a 10 minute speech?

[whatchamacallit]

27. FFS he's a candidate for the highest office in the world

This private jet = hypocrite nonsense is embarrassingly dim.

[ecstatic]

34. He plays by a different set of rules then.

Hey, don't get mad at me. I'm just using BernieBros logic. The same ridiculous arguments are used daily against Clinton.

[whatchamacallit]

37. Drool on...

[Sheepshank]

39. remember all the fawning because he travels coach?

I think everyone else is forgetting.

[whatchamacallit]

51. I remember republicans trying to discredit Al (inconvenient truth) Gore as a hypocrite for

flying on jets, not having solar panels... Nice to see you guys running their playbook.

[KittyWampus]

49. says the supporter of the politician with over $50,000 deductions on his taxes...

which he refuses to release fully.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Standard plebeian fare.

[athena]

17. Here are some more details about the flight.

http://viewfromthewing.boardingarea.com/2016/04/17/bernie-sanders-served-dinner-charted-delta-767-meet-pope/

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3542360/Bernie-Sanders-takes-private-flight-Rome-speak-Vatican-conference-burning-gallons-fuel-just-hours-attacking-Hillary-Clinton-climate-change.html

After attacking rival Hillary Clinton for her stance on fossil fuels stepped on Thursday, Sanders stepped off the plane on Friday in Rome for the Vatican conference with his wife, ten family members, a group of campaign staff, Secret Service detail and members of the press.

(snip)

On average, an American flies only 7,500 miles per year, according to AmericanForests.org, 1,360 fewer miles than Sanders' round-trip Rome travel. Thus, an average American releases less carbon emissions via aircraft each year than Sanders did in 24 hours.

(snip)

It is unknown how much it cost Sanders to charter the plane for the one-day trip, but according to a 2012 article from the Wall Street Journal, many sports teams charter similar aircraft and pay as much as $200,000 for one-way domestic flights.

What a careless way to use the money people gave him from their hard-earned paychecks, which are probably much smaller than Bernie's to begin with.

[ecstatic]

20. Make it $37 if Delta was in charge of preparing the food...

The Food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter to Delta’s chief executive stating that inspectors had found “the presence of rodent excreta pellets and rodent urine stains” near the food prep and storage areas of one of the carrier’s planes. The inspection—conducted between January 26 and February 2 at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, also revealed droppings “too numerous to count” in the ceiling panels of the plane’s middle crossover galley, where the crew store food and drinks.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. The last time I flew was in 4/12, from Orlando to L A.

I was glad they plied me with all the Diet Dr. Pepper i could drink.

[QC]

21. Oh well, I guess this is better than linking to Stormfront again.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=486255

[stonecutter357]

25. K&R!

[BillZBubb]

30. You Hillary fanatics are disgusting. That's the same RW argument used to attack Gore.

How can he rant about climate change when he flies on jets to give his speeches against fossil fuels?

You people are amoral and pathetic.

[LexVegas]

31. Tad and Jeff need more money! nt

[BillZBubb]

32. What was the menu at the Clooney fundraiser? Why don't you post that?

At $340,000 for a seat, I'm sure they were having beans and rice.

You are a hypocrite.

[SunSeeker]

41. Clooney's guests got to eat the food they were paying for. nt

[BillZBubb]

55. They weren't paying for food, they were paying for influence.

Hillary "Golden Sacks" is for sale to the highest bidder.

[SunSeeker]

57. They were Hollywood folks, not members of Goldman Sachs.

And yes, they want to influence this election to get the best candidate elected, Hillary, as well as get down-ballot Dems elected so she can get her progressive agenda enacted. The vast majority of the money raised at Clooney's dinner went to down ballot Dems.

[SunSeeker]

36. Keep sending us your college money, kids!

[workinclasszero]

44. Sorry kids...its ramen all week cause

Tad needs a new swimming pool!

[SidDithers]

40. DU rec for the very best reason of all...nt

Sid

[George II]

42. I sent him a subway token.

[Surya Gayatri]

45. K & R massively. So, the PURE ONE had some good in-flight grub. Glad he enjoyed himself. LOL!

[Xyzse]

47. I already have.

Probably will do so again next week.

Thank you.

[OilemFirchen]

48. No hot sauce, I note.

That would have been a scandal.

[aikoaiko]

50. No need for the reminder. I already did.

I guess you wouldn't be happy unless he ate recently defrosted government cheese.

[RandySF]

52. A meal for the nasses.

[Blue Idaho]

53. 11,000 donations.

That's What the Sanders Whirlwind Rome Holiday cost.

11,000 $27 donations.

[R B Garr]

54. What a fancy pants menu on the way to talk about a "moral economy" -- in a chartered airliner

jet on the way to the Vatican which displays obscene wealth. Hmmm. Yes, "moral economy" indeed.

Looks like Bernie is a hypocrite.

[boston bean]

56. $$ well spent, if you ask me! LOL

[frylock]

60. Wow! Crab salad?!!

Stir it up real good now.

[SFnomad]

62. A fool and their money are soon parted n/t

[snowy owl]

64. Thanks for reminder but I already sent it. Shall I send more? Why not.

[CentralCoaster]

65. Good for him! Sending $57 right now! Nice menu!

So proud, looks tasty.

He and Jane and what was it, four grand kids or six and others got to eat very well.

Thanks, JaneyVee!
