But just to be honest, Senator, I mean, the guy has trouble completing a single sentence.

He does.

The President at least believes that we ought to feed starving children in Gaza and get humanitarian aid there. You’ve got Republicans who don’t even want humanitarian aid to go in there. Maybe somebody would want to talk about that as well. Maybe that’s what he means. I don’t know.

fuck you

I don't regret supporting Bernie. Wouldn't be where I am politically today without his two campaigns and their failures. This shit however makes me so depressed. Talk about going out with a wimper

I wonder if he fears for his life or something. It would be so easy to make it look like an accident when you're that old.

he's stuck between a rock and a hard place because when both your allies and your adversaries work their best to block you from ever gaining real power for decades you either give up or learn how to survive and he's surviving.

surviving in this context means giving up on ever gaining the power to affect change for the better for americans and throwing your support behind the back stabbing allies because they're goals sometimes aligned with bernie's more than they've aligned w those of the other backstabbers'.

what if it's a last stratagem. a ruthless play for the throne. bidens brain is mush, all around him the shadows are closing in from the party angling for a cabinet seat, a nod, or to do him Brutus style.

so Bernie plays the kindly pal and at the last moment, like emperor Constantine before him, Biden "converts" under strange circumstances to Bernie Bro-ism and unleashes the maoist mass line on a shocked nation.

Year 0: all toothbrushes are seized.

Biden says "I'm proud to accept the- uh, the... please welcome President Bernie Sanders", wanders away from the microphone mumbling about sparrows, and falls headfirst off the stage into a dunce cap for the first DNC struggle session.
