Bernie Sanders’ Tweets & YouTube Stuff

Here are some of the awesome things Bernie Sanders has tweeted:

  • I’m not running for president because it’s my turn, but because it’s everyone’s turn to live in a nation of hope and opportunity for all. – February 7, 2016
  • I want our country to have the distinction of having the best educated population on earth. – Sept 21, 2015
  • In my view, some of the real heroines in our country today are single moms. – Sept 20, 2015
  • Congress bailed out Wall St. because it was too big to fail. In my view, if a bank is too big to fail, it’s too big to exist. Break ’em up. – Sept 18, 2015
  • It’s time to break up the banks. Their casino-style gambling has helped divert 99 percent of all new income to the top one percent. – Sept 16, 2015
  • Virtually every campaign for president has a super PAC funded by millionaires or billionaires. Not me. – Sept 15, 2015
  • You can’t have it all. You cannot continue to get tax breaks when people across this nation are going hungry. – Sept 12, 2015
  • When Roosevelt ran for reelection, he welcomed the hatred of what he called “the economic royalists.” I’m prepared to do that as well. – July 8, 2015

Here are some awesome YouTube videos for Bernie:

#UCCShooting Best Tweets

Special United States! Look at how tiny the scroll bar is on the School Shootings in the US page! And that page is just tables! It’s not even any descriptions! We’re so special we get our own page when it comes to school shootings.

Anyway, so I’m on twitter today looking at some of the #UCCShooting tweets since yet ANOTHER school shooting happened. Here are some good tweets:

And two of my favorites from twitter (that have been said in may different ways):

  • How come baking a cake is participating in gay marriage but selling a gun to someone ISN’T participating in murder?
  • One Mexican kills someone = DEPORT THEM ALL; Twenty angry white dudes commit mass shootings = LET’S NOT RUSH TO JUDGEMENT.

I have these pages bookmarked on my phone just in case I get into a debate with a right wing nut job over guns:


CNN Republican Debate June 2011

  • Let’s see how much further to the right these rich white dudes can go. #HowLowCanYouGo #RepublicanDebate 8:00 PM EST
  • “Obama Depression”? Hello? It started during Bush. 8:03 PM EST
  • I’m just going to be pissed off all night. #RepublicanDebate 8:08 PM EST
  • So extending the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy wasn’t one thing right with the economy? 8:14 PM EST
  • What a great story! Loss of jobs, an economic crisis, the biggest wealth inequality in history… Wow! 8:24 PM EST
  • We’re already the lowest corporate tax rate! And the EPA? From job killing to people killing! 8:29 PM EST
  • Thousands of blue collar jobs would have been lost, not to mention the US NOT having an auto industry if we didn’t do the auto bailout. 8:40 PM EST
  • So the poor states should deal with their own hurricanes and tornadoes. Brilliant! You just alienated most of your base. 8:51 PM EST
  • If you “stand for life” how come you don’t want poor people to have health insurance? #CNNDebate  9:27 PM EST
  • So whether or not you’re a US citizen should be turned on to the states? Really? #CNNDebate 9:32 PM EST
  • I learned that whenever you can’t think of a good answer to a question, blame Obama or say “give power to the states”. #CNNDebate 10:02 PM EST

Saturday March 5, 2011

  • Beautiful day in #NYC! Just grabbed brunch now walking the streets. 11:58 AM EST
  • Seeing the Addams Family on Broadway. 1:47 PM EST
  • Saw the Statue Of Liberty and Battery Park. Heading back to Stacy’s apartment then dinner then drinks. 6:06 PM EST

State Of The Union Tweets 2011

Before

  • Obviously Michele Bachmann wasn’t there when the Republicans read the Constitution at the beginning of the year. #TCOT #TeaParty 8:40 PM EST
  • Wow, what a leader. That’ll kick off my #SOTU and absence from tweeting. 8:42 PM EST
  • No one’s talking about Joe Wilson? Will he be gagged? #HeresHoping 8:50 PM EST
  • That’s the entire #SOTU, Obama shaking everyone’s hands. 9:09 PM EST

State Of The Union

  • Bill Maher said it best. The common ground seems to always be where the Republican is standing. #SOTU 9:15 PM EST
  • New jobs will come from China… and be there too. Where are those cars and computers made? China. #SOTU 9:24 PM EST
  • So we’re supposed to stroke research and development by not spending? Got it. #SOTU 9:25 PM EST
  • But when parents have to work 12 hour days just to make ends meet, it’s kinda hard to teach those good principles. #SOTU 9:31 PM EST
  • Wasn’t there a hiring freeze for teachers in most states? #SOTU 9:34 PM EST
  • Yes there are many illegal immigrants in our schools, but the DREAM act killed their chances of being citizens. #ThanksRepublicans #SOTU 9:37 PM EST
  • These other countries actually invest in their infrastructures. We should take a lesson from them. #SOTU 9:39 PM EST
  • Obama hasn’t even mentioned NAFTA or lack of terrifs which hurt jobs in this country. #SOTU 9:45 PM EST
  • Debt began a decade ago? Try three decades ago with the Republican hero, Reagan. #SOTU 9:48 PM EST
  • We knew he’d say it. “The state of our Union is strong.” When is it not strong? Why is it always sugar coated? #SOTU 10:14 PM EST

Republican Response

  • You didn’t cut spending a few years ago. Huge debts are due to Republican spending. 10:28 PM EST
  • And even more people would lose their coverage if #HCR wasn’t passed. And the health insurance mandate? A Republican idea. 10:29 PM EST
  • You thought endless borrowing was alright under Bush. 10:33 PM EST

Tea Party Response

Barely worth mentioning, but I’ll make a few points that I didn’t on twitter since the Tea Party Express website was slow:

  • So the economic collapse had nothing to do with failed Bush policies or lack of government regulation which helped to ship jobs overseas?
  • The stimulus saved jobs that would have been lost. That’s a fact. And the stimulus would have done a lot more if 1/3 of it wasn’t tax breaks.
  • Did I miss something? I don’t hear anyone telling me what light bulbs to buy.
  • Nothing was stopping businesses from dropping health insurance before, so why didn’t they? It would have been a lot cheaper.
  • I remember gas being a lot more expensive under that oil man Bush.
  • I’ll pay $100 million in government regulations if I can drink clean water, eat clean food, and buy safe products. Thanks.
  • We can start making things again when we reinforce tariffs and stop giving tax breaks to companies who ship jobs overseas.
