He was praying.
However as we know Sanders is not a very religious fellow, and he appears to be the only one whose head is bowed in prayer in this photo, so that sort of failed the smell test.
Well he is 74 years old after all.
In other news Howard Dean wants Sanders to stop giving his supporters false hope:
HOWARD DEAN: I think this a problem, I wish he would stop doing this. We have a streak of him -- he never quits, he is a tough guy, obivously we admire that in a politician. But this attempt to undo the rules, this business in CA of trying to get a federal judge to extend the registration.
First of all, they are changing the rules after the fact, second of all, they are not going to happen. So he is giving his supporters false hope that somehow this is going to change, this is all going to work out [for Bernie]. This is not what he needs to be doing at this particular time.
I can only imagine the profound disappointment that the Sanders supporters are going to experience when it finally dawns on them that Bernie is not Santa Claus and cannot magically give them everything that he promised during his campaign.
That is of course if he can stay awake long enough to disappoint them.
74 years old Sanders fell asleep during a Memorial Day Celebration!
ReplyDeleteWhat's going to happen when 75 year old Bernie Sanders is attending National Security meetings and an ISIS security meetings? Does everybody stop so 76 year old Bernie Sanders can drink his warm milk, eat his cookies and take his two hour nap?

Who the fuck cares? I don't think any of us would be able to keep up the unbelievable pace he has kept during this race. Give the guy some credit will you. It's hot and he's from VT for crying out loud. You people here are really starting to piss me off!!!

DeleteGuess how unbelievable the pace is when you're president?
DeleteWhat will Bernie do when that 3 pm phone call comes? They'll have to wake him up from his nap to find out.
7:20am - I am a long time IM reader - since Sarah Palin came on the scene and used to enjoy the writing here, but am not impressed with the one sidedness that G. is displaying. And 7:21am, I don't see the President travelling from state to state day after day. Of course the pace would lessen.
DeleteMeghan@7:20. I discovered IM shortly after Sarah Palin's nomination for VP. It's the first blog I read every morning - or if I wake up at 3am and can't go back to sleep. I have been stunned and apalled by the dealings of the Palins and their supporters, and I'm patiently waiting for the day her house of cards finally falls, and she's revealed for the lawless liar that she is.
DeleteI am still on the Bernie bandwagon for good reasons. The more Hillary can be dragged toward the left of center, the better. Keeping Bernie in the mix may force her to choose Elizabeth Warren or Bernie himself as a running mate instead of a more traditional and corporate owned politician. I'm in California, and I really feel like I should get to cast my vote in the primary without being berated for not abondoning ship and signing up to volunteer for Clinton.

DeleteThere's more to "the pace" than travelling from one state to another. This person is UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT of what it means to be President!
The travel pace lessens a little bit but the stress factor ratchets up 1000% or more. That can take more out of a person than you know. Just look at EVERY modern president's before and after picture and you will see the proof if you think I am blowing smoke up your ass. If Sanders can't handle a campaign how in the fuck is he going to handle a presidency.
DeleteHint, he can't and he won't.

DeletePer weekly standard, trump stated his personal Viet nam was avoiding venereal disease in the 80s.
ReplyDeleteHe was here for rolling thunder and expressed disappointment that his audience was not like MLKs in terms of size. He said that people were oppressed from attending.
We are in big trouble if "Daddy" as they are calling him, is elected.
"Trump talked about how he had been “lucky” not to have contracted diseases when he was sleeping around.“It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”
DeleteMr. Trump said his experience at the New York Military Academy, an expensive prep school where his parents had sent him to correct poor behavior, gave him “more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military.”
"Fred Trump, schooled him in self-promotion and encouraged a lifetime of fighting. The senior Mr. Trump, a major real estate developer, counseled his son to “be a killer” and told him, “You are a king.”"Mr. (the Donald) Trump memorably told Mr. D’Antonio that “when I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same.”"I felt that I was in the military in the true sense because I dealt with those people,”" “people can figure you out, and once they can figure you out, you’re in big trouble.”

Yet he never witnessed the horrors of war that any vet has dealt with at a very young age.
DeleteTrump got 4 deferments for a heel spur to get out of Nam, but managed to play college sports.
DeleteBernie got married to avoid going and then when the rules changed he got his GF ( not his wife) knocked up so he was a parent and could avoid the draft. Of course that's the same child he never bothered to support.
7:38 It makes me want to throw up.
DeleteOnly someone who knows nothing about war and the REAL military would think that comment was OK to make.
Sorry, @realTrump, screwing your way through VD-ridden teenagers is no way near a war experience. And we didn't have AIDS back then so it wasn't even life threatening (as it is now Bristol + DUH--use protection).
If he wants the military vote he will have to do better than make this kind of comment.
Yesterday, at work, I spoke to a Vietnam vet. Somehow chitchat turned into him telling me about his friend, an 18 year old kid, who sacrificed his life to protect the rest of his squad. I watched a sixty something year old man tear up with his memories of his lost friend. Anyone who can compare the clap with smothering a grenade with your body-or with witnessing the same-doesn't deserve to have his opinion heard. Fuck Drumpf.
DeleteTrump's Vietnam excuse is much like Mitt Romney's: he was serving the country during those years by being a Mormon missionary in France! Aren't Republican presidential candidates special!

Response from Nancy Pelosi's daughter Christine:
ReplyDelete"Yikes - maybe he is praying? #ImWithHer and/but don't think Bernie closing his eyes at a memorial service negates his good works for veterans and military families. As Hillary often reminds us, #LoveTrumpsHate ."
Instead of promoting your candidate, your blog is daily vilification of Sanders and his supporters. You post a still picture taken on the sly at an official Memorial Day service of Sanders looking down, which he famously does when he's listening: watch his latest interview with Bill Maher. Like the "they're throwing chairs" tweet, Dunning's assertion that Sanders was sleeping is uncorroborated anywhere.
The disrespect shown by taking the picture during a somber event and the mean-spiritedness with which Dunning posted it and with which you've chosen to spread it is a shameful reflection on Clinton and her supporters. You, like Dunning, should let what Pelosi's saying sink in then take it down.
You mean to say that the rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth Hillary supporters aren't encouraging you to vote for their candidate?
DeleteBelieve me, you are not alone :-)
If I was Hillary I'd have to let my supporters know that they're really not helping the cause.
Start your own blog , whiner
DeleteBernie can not stand up to the scrutiny that comes with running for President of the United States.
DeleteOmg! The rudeness of someone documenting my candidate's rudeness! Kill the messenger! Kill the messenger!
DeleteJesus, you're so far down the rabbit hole...
Hillary has a host of negatives and she and Bill "built the neoliberal wing of the party" --which doesn't represent the party's traditional base. The Clinton wing of the party sold out the working and middle class to globalization and the financial sector that funded the "New Democrats" from the 1980s onward. As a result millions of Dem. progressive votes were lost, as well as those of progressive independents. Bernie has those voters now along with other Dems tired of the corruption and business as usual at the top.
DeleteFor those interested in a more substantive political analysis of the reality facing the party:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/seth-abramson/how-to-explain-the-sanders_b_10206250.html
" The Democratic Party has never, in modern history, run a candidate with an unfavorable rating as high as Mrs. Clinton’s; it has never, in modern history, run a candidate who was currently under FBI investigation; it has never, in modern history, run a candidate who will (per polling reported by Nate Cohn) not receive the support of fully 50 percent of her opponent’s supporters, under circumstances in which her opponent has commanded nearly 45 percent of the popular vote; it has never successfully run a candidate for President who previously lost a Party primary, which loss suggested now-evident infirmities in that candidate’s appeal even to Democratic voters; it has never run a candidate who secured only 50 percent of the pledged delegates in the final two-thirds of Party nominating contests; it has never run a candidate whose only consequential primary challenger came from outside the Party, due to her cynical strategy of intimidating other qualified Democrats away from running using a massive pre-election superdelegate lead; it has never, in what is at once predicted to be a “movement” and “base” election, successfully run a candidate for President who neither has broad support from the Party’s progressive wing nor is at the head of any identifiable political movement; and it has never nominated for President a candidate losing in national polls, at the time of her media-driven elevation to the status of “presumptive nominee,” to a clinical sociopath; for these and other reasons, Sanders plans to continue his campaign in the hope of saving Democratic elders from their slavish devotion to a political dynasty that’s turned the Party from its New Deal roots toward a neoliberal corporatism now destroying the middle class."
That's a pathetic piece of projection, 7:17! The only frothing fans belong to Bernie.
Delete8:13 - still quoting experimental poetry professor Seth Abramson? Yeah, he and HA Goodman (libertarian) have really sold you all a pack of lies. Howard Dean is right!
DeleteIt's going to be so awe inspiring to have two Presidents Clinton in the White House! What a team they will be. I'd even like Hillary naming Bill as her VP candidate. They'd beat the shit out of the Republicans!!! Kind of like President Obama did both times in spite of the Republican polls showing otherwise!
DeleteVote for Hillary Clinton folks! She's the best candidate out there for the job. She can walk right into it and take over from President Obama and carry on with his agenda and new things as to hers!
@10:55AM, From 8:13: One doesn't need to quote anyone to understand that history repeats itself, if one has lived long enough.
DeleteCalling other writers' and thinkers' work a "pack of lies" without offering proof of such is a mere rhetorical device, and defaming others in a debate is not productive and a tactic to avoid debating the facts of a case. I can only speculate why you did not address the facts offered by both writers you have slurred.
You may not agree with their interpretation of the facts but you have refuted nothing and resorted to ad hominem attacks. If you want to discuss facts I would be happy to.
So what happens when Hillary fans find out she can't give you all she has promised?
ReplyDeleteunlike you we do not wait for the government to give us stuff
DeleteNone of them can. Get real.
DeleteI'm not a Hillary supporter but I do know some people who will vote for her and they seem to be realistic in knowing that she will face the same obstruction that Obama did from our Congress. Same with Bernie. Even moderate congressional Republicans won't be supportive of either one of them and since Democrats aren't exactly known for getting out the vote in the midterms, especially now that the party is fractured, it will be more of the same for either Bernie or Hillary.
DeleteNow there's the stupidest comment yet. 7:08 must be one of G's political retards.
DeleteI'd say 649AM, wrote the dumber comment.
DeleteSo Megan you think HRC will get everything she promises? Yours is the dumbest comment.
DeleteHillary Clinton is not promising huge things like universal health care and free college, she is promising to work toward better education, stricter gun laws, improved climate change policies, campaign finance reform, and a lot of other policies that the Obama administration has already laid the ground world for.
DeleteThe only thing that Hillary is "promising" is to work on these issues, her success will depend on the progressive voters helping to pack the Senate and House with politicians willing to work with her.
THAT is why she is helping candidates down ballot.
Shove it G! Her claim is she wants the same things as Bernie! She's promising way more than she can produce and she knows it. That's a liar. Just like she lied to the FBI.

DeleteOn Bill Maher's show a few months ago, Bernie could not give a decent answer to how he could possibly find the funds to give free college AND free health care to everyone.
ReplyDeleteBernie could not give an actual answer on how he would find the trillions to do that without increasing the national debt even more.
And when Vox crunched the numbers every one, even those well below the poverty line, would pay huge amounts more in taxes. Mine would go from $5K to $19K per year. On a fixed income that is LUDICROUS!
DeleteHoly shit G, do you have it in for Bernie or what? I love Bernie, but you don't see me bashing Clinton, I'm trying to keep the party untied, not act like a republican and bash the shit out of each.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad Bernie isn't trying to keep the party united. His tv ad in CA is directed against the 'corrupt' Democratic Party.
DeleteHis definition of corruption is an overly simplistic, ideological purity test that won't solve the money-in-politics problem but makes a good hate-mongering talking point. I've been sympathetic towards him but after watching that ad 3 times last night, I'm now anti-Sanders. I don't think he's a good representative for Democrats, democratic socialists, or progressives.

DeleteTwo different moments. His head is slumped way down here.
DeleteCompletely predictable that the goalposts would be moved to something like " then something's medically wrong" or "he's an asshole for not looking up" when "he was asleep" got debunked.
Delete10:59 I agree that it appears to be different moments. However, there are none in the photographer's hundred or so photos that show the moment in the Twitter photo.
DeleteIn the Twitter photo, Bernie's head is clearly canted to his right and down low. None like that on the photo page.
And, yes, there are some showing him reading his paper with his head down low. However, there are several with his hands folded in front with his head down low. Right after those he starts looking around. Made me think of times when you fall asleep accidentally and wake up suddenly and need to look around to see what you missed.
This could be a toss up. Without third source it's hard to tell.
But, yes, if Hillary or Obama had appeared asleep at a big event it would be splashed everywhere, so get over it you Bernie fans.
If he cannot take the heat, he should get out of the kitchen.
We have never seen President Obama 'nod off' in any of the events he's attended during these years he's served as POTUS.
DeleteHe has one hectic schedule and always moves quickly when crossing a stage, going up the steps to his jet, etc.
I know he's younger, but we also know that he exercises daily which assists in keeping him in excellent health and more able to deal with the pressures he experiences, with the job, on a daily basis.
Donald Trump doesn't move well across a stage, is obese, is lumbering in movement if you watch him walk and doesn't appear to exercise at all!
Bernie is an old man and has been keeping one hectic schedule which would cause him to fall asleep on stage. Plus, I'm sure he is eating on the run which probably isn't helpful to him either - especially at his age!
Older people don't mince words. If I sat through ceremonies I would be comatose. Plus he's old. Plus he's running from state to state on a young man's agenda. Any one of the candidates are old. Donald is old. Hilary is old. Bernie is old. It's the weirdest election year ever. All the young uns were takin' out one by one by Trump. Seems like people are trusting the wisdom of the old. We just have to prop them up and whisper out their lines when the time comes. Either way we get grandma and grandpas ruling our country come November. And I don't believe any of them are saviors. They just spew rhetoric. It's a typical political maneuver. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Big business backs these puppets, and we the people are fed ideology and digesting everything sent our way. The fact is if we want change we have to work together. If that doesn't happen we get gridlock. After gridlock there's nothing. Just trying to outlast the other fellow. Or punch his face.
ReplyDeleteFuck you, both myself and my husband along with hundreds of other old people sat up straight and paid attention and somehow managed to stay awake during the very large Memorial Day service we attended yesterday.

He couldn't wait to get in front of a mic today to do a job anyone on his staff could have done re the money raised and distributed to the misc vets' organizations.

After that DC rally, I guess he just slept in and ate some steak on the BBQ and pigged out and watched some TV or something. I saw nothing of any Trump sightings, and he certainly didn't go to any events for our lost vets.
ReplyDeleteHe spent all day preparing the donation list and writing the checks for vets.

DeleteShady accounting underpins Trump’s wealth
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump claims a net worth of more than $10 billion and an income of $557 million. But he appears to get there only by overvaluing properties and ignoring his expenses.
POLITICO spoke with more than a dozen financial experts and Trump’s fellow multimillionaires about the presumptive Republican nominee’s financial statement. Their conclusion: The real estate magnate’s bottom line — what he actually puts in his own pocket — could be much lower than he suggests. Some financial analysts said this, and a very low tax rate, is why Trump won’t release his tax returns.
“I know Donald, I’ve known him a long time, and it gets under his skin if you start writing about the reasons he won’t disclose his returns,” said one prominent hedge fund manager who declined to be identified by name so as not to draw Trump’s ire. “You would see that he doesn’t have the money that he claims to have and he’s not paying much of anything in taxes.”

While I no longer support Sanders, I wish he had quit when he was still perceived as strong. He has clung to the limelight too long. This will hurt him very much. The optics are terrible. I don't think he deserves to go out like this. But he brought it on himself.
ReplyDeleteI agree. He has actually lost a lot of status. But I also used to like Ed Schultz and now he's a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda, along with Thom Hartmann, on RT. Strange times.

Instead of taking a picture of Sanders, the decent thing the photographer should have done is place a mirror under his nose to make sure he hasn't expired.
ReplyDeleteSecond thought, who gives a crap if he expired.
Well the good thing is Sanders is at a cemetery. They just need to find the next of kin.
ReplyDeleteIs that a forty in his hand? Is he passed out?
ReplyDeleteOh, come on...give Bernie a break. After all, he's got an excuse. It's not easy barnstorming around the state, speaking in front of crowds counting in the tens of thousands, stickin' up for the little guy by yourself.
ReplyDeleteThen again...what's her excuse?

Is she drunk? Exhausted from counting all those foreign 'contributions'? Or how about Bill?

ReplyDeleteBut your posts are simply repeating empty slurs while ignoring facts. Never an effective strategy in the end.If you want credibility you must address the facts.
