Levi Sanders: Dana Loesch is right, Obama is weakest president on Russians, Trump taps into WWC pain

[KitSileya]

One of the newest Democratic candidates for Congress, Levi Sanders turns out to have some.... unDemocratic opinions...

Well, all I can say is that it *does* seem like he's like his dad in everything except vegetarianism - all the way down to attacking Democrats while giving Trump, NRA and their ilk a chance.

[LonePirate]

1. Hopefully the voters in NH will opt for a real Democrat.

[KitSileya]

2. Yeah, but he's making it impossible to unite with the Sanders' supporters

He would rather attack Democrats such as Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and civilians such as Chelsea Clinton rather than Trump and the NRA - and supporting him says that one agrees with that. How can we unite with people like that?

[Tavarious Jackson]

4. We can't and we don't. nt

[George II]

37. Seems he doesn't think much of Barack Obama, either. But then again his father....

....wanted Obama to be primaried back in 2012.

[Eliot Rosewater]

90. That is because unity is NOT the agenda with the folks you are talking about, just the opposite

actually.

I have to be cryptic here but just assume their goal is not what you would hope it was.

[Cary]

117. Occam's Razor

[ehrnst]

24. At least a resident.

Just ask Jon Ossoff about that.

[brush]

26. Whoa ho, Sanders' son is off to a great start (not). He's lost already with that crappola.

Sounds more like a repug.

Let's just call him a Fake Democrat.

[Gothmog]

36. Agreed

[NBachers]

172. Does anyone know a credible and viable opponent I can send contributions to?

Hope I'm not offending any Levi-bros.

After doing a bit of my own research, it looks like there are some actual, real democrats running in this race:

https://ballotpedia.org/New_Hampshire%27s_1st_Congressional_District_election,_2018

Mark S. Mackenzie - State Rep.[10]
Deaglan McEachern[11]
Mindi Messmer - State Rep.[12]
Terence O'Rourke[13]
Chris Pappas[14]
Levi Sanders[15]
Lincoln Soldati[16]
Maura Sullivan

In my quick review, I've been most impressed with, in this order: Maura Sullivan, Mark S. Mackenzie, Terence O'Rourke, and Mindi Messmer. If I had to narrow it down at this point, I'd probably make it Maura and Mark, with Maura getting my contributions.

There's plenty of information at the link. Let's talk about who else is running, and see who to focus on.

[RandySF]

3. I hope people look beyond the last name and realize

He is not a good fit for the nomination

[BoneyardDem]

41. Last name is part of the Legacy/Dynasty so many claimed to have issues with Clinton

I wonder if the legacy issue has occurred to those Bernie supporters this time around?

[ehrnst]

205. I recall that many said that Hillary wouldn't even have a political career if not for her last name

And that was a valid reason to think her unqualified.

[DarthDem]

5. LOL. Of course.

Shouldn't have expected anything less.

[hatrack]

6. What an asshole . . .

.

[BannonsLiver]

20. Makes you wonder what is said about President obama in private

With that family. I have a pretty good idea.

[grantcart]

38. I never had to wonder much

[David__77]

7. I think if he wins the primary, he will comfortably win the general election.

...

[George II]

22. What makes you say that? Here's some information about that district:

"Politically, the 1st district is one of the most competitive congressional districts in the country, with a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+2. The district has changed hands in five of the last six elections and has given no candidate more than 54% of the vote since 2004."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hampshire%27s_1st_congressional_district

NO one has won the district "comfortably" in the last six elections. If he wins comfortably it would be because the voters perceived him as a republican.

It disgusts me that a political neophyte, running on name only, would challenge other Democrats for a seat that is currently occupied by a Democrat. This will only create more division in the district and may all but guarantee a republican victory.

[David__77]

27. I think he would attract independents and some Republicans.

And I don’t think many Democrats would support his Republican opponent.

[George II]

32. Based on some of his tweets in the OP, looks like he'd attract more republicans than Democrats.

[Cha]

98. "Levi Sanders: Dana Loesch is right, Obama is weakest president on Russians,"

That's Bullshit.

[lunamagica]

43. and you support him?

[BannonsLiver]

8. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree

[Docreed2003]

9. Thats disgusting...

He’s calling Dana Loesch’s racist/bigoted/bullshit commercial sophisticated, says The Bundy’s speak for many Americans, slams President Obama and Sen Harris, and then says we should gear our messaging towards Trump voters?? And why is he running as a Democrat?

[comradebillyboy]

79. Isn't he just echoing his father's message?

[Cha]

100. Levi slams Sen Elizabeth Warren, too.

Levi's Retweet..

Link to tweet

Reminds me of another "dem".. I think his name is zell.

[ismnotwasm]

10. Ew.

[Hortensis]

11. Oh, dear. Where's the substance or even sense

in this collection of negative complaints he thinks worthy of passing on?

"Self-awareness, you had one job." Great summary. And I just looked -- this is Levi just short of his 48th birthday...!

Hopefully NH decides it already has enough mosquitoes.

[Cha]

102. Perhaps not.. with those disingenuous, nonsensical

outbursts on the twitter.

Nice graphic, Hortensis

[Hortensis]

124. It's cute, but a leap in status and a $174K annual salary

may just be reasons for running also, not just his desire to help working class people who are "beat up by the system." He has a BA in history (a plus for me) and does clerical technician work handling SS disability claims for a legal firm, so this would be a giant elevation from the white collar grind into the upper middle class for him, plus the status of course that would allow him to stand more appropriately alongside his dad.

I'd wish him well if he had what it takes to be a good congressman for his district, but those shabby tweets suggest he's already reached his level of competence. Big no to small minds and hearts asking voters to let them see if they can handle important public service that needs big minds and big hearts.

[arthritisR_US]

163. Well, the divisive apple doesnt fall far from the tree.

[Hortensis]

178. Turns out this may be a fake twitter site, not Levi's.

There's another one that's both more substantive and decent. https://twitter.com/celentra?lang=en

New opinion scrapped to see if he's as big a fool as others who were in the Sanders campaign, to be resumed if he is.

At this point in history, there is some very bad judgement going on in people who are unable to respect and admire, and be massively grateful for the existence of, the Democratic Party.

How could any progressive, capital or lower-case P, never have wondered what America would be today if the Democratic Party was even half as corrupt as his gadfly father has always so bizarrely claimed? If America had no party standing as a wall protecting our democracy against the massive corruption and betrayal of the people that's taken over the GOP?

[arthritisR_US]

180. TY, one of the best responses with respect

to these people👍🏼👏🏼

[Hortensis]

182. Levi was criticized in 2016 for questionable tweets.

And setting aside this singularly stupid string of tweets ascribed to him, it does seem he was then, when he was working in his father's campaign, one of those unable to see the Democratic Party clearly for what it is and the role it is playing in our history.

In any case, here's the part of a new WaPo article that touches on his twitter history. Interestingly, Bernie has not endorsed Levi.

Bernie Sanders’s son Levi runs for Congress in New Hampshire

The elder Sanders, who has made several trips to New Hampshire since the 2016 election, did not endorse his son. “Levi will be running his own campaign, in his own way, with his own ideas,” the Vermont independent said in a statement. “The decision as to who to vote for will be determined by the people of New Hampshire’s first district, and nobody else.”

But Levi Sanders inherited some of his father’s baggage — animus from Clinton supporters who remain frustrated about the 2016 primary and its aftermath. Even before Sanders made the bid official, critics had compiled some of his tweets from the 2016 campaign, in which he warned that many on the left were too dismissive of Trump’s appeal.

On Tuesday, Sanders said that he “sent out a lot of tweets” and was “a big fan of the First Amendment,” urging voters to look at his broader points.

“The bottom line, as you know, is that different people have different opinions, and when you send out a lot of tweets, people are going to have a lot of opinions about them,” Sanders said. “But in 2016, I hung out in rural Pennsylvania and rural Ohio. I can tell you, very clearly, that in 2016, there were going to be some real problems with electing Hillary Clinton. I talked to union folks who were die-hard Democrats and said they would never, ever, ever vote for Hillary Clinton.”

Asked about the tweets that pointed to Trump’s appeal, Sanders said that Democrats had alienated some voters they did not need to when they made demographic assumptions about them instead of offering them populist economic ideas.

“I think the reality is that you have to talk about the issues,” Sanders said. “Simply put, if you’re a man or you’re a woman, that shouldn’t be a reason that somebody votes for you. You have to earn every vote. We need to reach out for working-class folks. We need a 50-state strategy. And the simple fact is we need to deal with economics and address the fact that the rich are getting richer while the middle class is getting squeezed. I think we’ll find that a bunch of people agree with us.”

I'm waiting for someone else to spend time figuring out which tweets are his from which year. This, and his most recent tweets, give a far less appalling picture, but still clearly a fool.

We know now, just for one example, that those famous white working class males left because they saw their white male privileges threatened. No excuses for them or for people who think we should have catered to their racism and misogyny. Or, as it sounds here, for a wannabe pol who still doesn't know what happened and why, or perhaps doesn't care if it doesn't fit his narrative of victimization by "the system."

[George II]

12. He's a "Democrat"? Seems he likes trump more than he does Obama, Harris and other Democrats.

Hmmm, Obama and Harris - a common thread there?

[Eliot Rosewater]

93. Yeah, gotta hand it to the guy, he figured why not put a D after his name, might

get further that way and since his agenda is NOT that of the D's according to his own words, what could go wrong?

Will I get a formal apology when my accusations about this family is proven I wonder?

[Gothmog]

104. I was wondering the same thing

[Cha]

145. poor Levi.. boohoo..

[George II]

191. I guess he doesn't understand that license plates are issued by the state. If they want....

....to display the confederate flag they can. Just not on an officially issued object.

"Sons of Confederate Veterans"? The war ended 150+ years ago. How many can still be around, if any?

[Cha]

197. He doesn't get a lot things.

So clueless. smh

[dalton99a]

166. Kinda reminds me of another "Democrat" - the useful idiot Milwaukee sheriff

David Clarke

[NCTraveler]

13. Seems it's a family business.

I hear his daughter, who cashed out from Janes shady Burlington deal, is also running. All of them seem pretty fond of attacking progressive values.

Daddy is cashing out at the end of a long political career and will prop up his children to follow in his footsteps. His footsteps that have accomplished almost nothing. Bet you won't hear the bro's yelling about Dynasties.

[George II]

33. Yes, she was paid about $500K by Burlington College over a few years to conduct...

..."woodworking classes". Those payments ended when the college went bankrupt.

[Gothmog]

35. Really?

Thank you for the information

[George II]

39. VT Digger did a story about that last June:

https://vtdigger.org/2017/06/13/one-family-two-schools-questions-swirl-around-another-sanders-deal/

The Moore referred to was one of Jane Sanders' successors, the last President of Burlington College.

Excerpts:

“This was a sweetheart deal for Carina Driscoll, Jane Sanders’ daughter,” said Moore. Driscoll is the stepdaughter of Bernie Sanders."

"Students began attending the woodworking school in 2009 on what appears to have been a handshake deal. A formalized contract was made only under Jane Sanders’ successor as president, Christine Plunkett. The lack of a written agreement raised questions from the college’s accrediting body, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, or NEASC."

"According to publicly available tax documents, the Vermont Woodworking School received more than $500,000 between 2009 and 2012 for “materials charges and lease of bench space” for Burlington College students who took furniture-making and woodworking design courses in a restored red barn in Fairfax."

"Lease payments were not the only costs Burlington College paid in connection with the woodworking school. The college also paid Driscoll, at various points, for administrative work and covered the salaries for some woodworking professors. The Vermont Woodworking School received roughly half of the tuition money for each student from Burlington College."

[Gothmog]

60. Thanks for posting this

[bettyellen]

153. She got the legacy of leeching down. Jeeze.

[Gothmog]

167. The pattern is very obvious

[yardwork]

123. The Vermont Woodworking School received 50% of all students' tuition?!

No wonder the college closed. And this was run by Jane Sanders' daughter while Jane was president of the college?

This is appalling.

[NBachers]

173. Half a million bucks to be a woodshop teacher?

[George II]

190. That's about $167K per year.

146. WTHF!

Doesn't sound like the brightest bulb.

150. What A _______________(Fill In The Blank)

He's got a lot of nerve considering how he's running on daddy's name. And why shouldn't Chelsea say what she wants and express her opinions. Big time sour grapes going on here for lots of different reasons.

[Cha]

157. Yes, well put.. the Sour Grapes are

outta control.

Me

[R B Garr]

208. Exactly. Everything they accuse others of, they are

actually doing. Trump has the same playbook. And look how much they are eternally invested in the Democrat/Clinton bashing. Big $$$ in that. Who can’t see through this now.

209. On The Head

[NurseJackie]

15. Oh, good lord!

Well, all I can say is that it *does* seem like he's like his dad in everything except vegetarianism - all the way down to attacking Democrats while giving Trump, NRA and their ilk a chance.

Agreed! I sincerely hope that NH voters are smart enough see though him.

[ehrnst]

25. Indeed. (nt)

[Cha]

147. Not too bright..

Jackie

[poboy2]

16. Sander's son endorsed/retweeted the NRA Loesch, calling that crap a sophisticated message?

This is some fucked up shit. Bernie, you're losing me here.

[Old Vet]

21. I for one never,ever, supported Mr Bernie even though I was always shot down for even saying so....

One can only hope people see thru this make-believe democrat.

[SidDithers]

17. Huh. Imagine that...

Sid

[MrsCoffee]

18. You would think people would wake the fuck up.

But that would require taking the red pill.

[Eliot Rosewater]

95. Some are having a hard time admitting they were wrong to support these people, but I will

give them time, others were never fooled, they were part of it.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

19. Who would have possibly thought.

[Cha]

113. I know, right?

[SunSeeker]

28. K & R for exposure.

[njhoneybadger]

29. Joseph Goebbels used very "sophisticated messaging" to tap into the anger and frustration

that many people in the working class were "FEELING"


Mein Kampf contains the blueprint of later Nazi propaganda efforts. Assessing his audience, Hitler writes in chapter VI:

"Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. (...) All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. (...) The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their "FEELINGS", in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (...) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood

[Blue_Tires]

30. kick

[ehrnst]

31. Democrats in NH seem to be a bit different than elsewhere. (nt)

[Gothmog]

34. WOW

Great information

[sheshe2]

40. Say what?!

[lunamagica]

42. Man, just what we needed...my question, are we supposed to support this guy here, even though

he is attacking our people and talking like a trump supporter?

[George II]

45. See my post #44, he's openly bashing Democrats!

[lunamagica]

46. Then he should be fair game here. We don't need this. We don't need this at all. Not not now

not ever.

[George II]

48. Well, retweeting Donald Trump tweet bashing Democrats and immigrants sure tells us a lot.

[George II]

44. Here's some that he retweeted, apparently he agrees with them!

He seems to have some bizarre friends, don'tcha think?

[lunamagica]

47. I can't even....

[George II]

49. I decided to "follow" him just to keep up with his right wing agenda.

[lunamagica]

51. Thank you. Someone needs to expose him for what he is. And I fear many

of his followers will be blinded by the "Sanders" name

[George II]

53. I posted actual screenshots of those tweets and added one, just so everyone sees who they came from.

[NastyRiffraff]

194. Good idea. I'm doing the same

Some people are complaining about "old" tweets (from 2015!) so let's see what he's saying now. Undoubtedly he'll tone down now that he's running, but really, how much can he change from 3 years ago? I know it's possible, but if he's anything like his father, he doesn't change his mind because he's ALWAYS RIGHT.

[.99center]

62. When were those screen shots taken?

[George II]

64. About five minutes before I posted them. Why?

[.99center]

68. I'm looking at Levi's unverified account

And I don't see the retweets that you posted.

I can't find any of the Tweets mentioned in the OP either.

https://twitter.com/celentra?lang=en

Anyone have a direct link to the tweets referenced by the op?

[SidDithers]

70. Here's one...

Link to tweet

addresss is: https: //twitter.com/Celentra/status/921427346514685953

Remove the spaces and c&p.

I'm not going to search for the others. You can do your own homework.

Sid

[.99center]

77. Much appreciated.

I've seen enough, thanks for verifying.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

74. Those are old tweets form '16 and '17.

Go to Barker's twitter site and see the dates on Sanders' tweets. Many are from last fall, pre-election. Barker is digging up old dirt, I suppose.

Can't quite see clearly into Barker's agenda or motives, either.

................

[George II]

86. But Levi said those things (or retweeted them), didn't he? Did he have an epiphany?

Regardless of if he retweeted them today, a month ago, or a year ago. Maybe now that he decided to run for office he realizes he needs to keep his sentiments to himself?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

87. Yes. I was not trying to lessen their impact or validity.

Just pointing out that I, like others, did not see that sort of rhetoric on his current page (that may be intentional) and that's why they're not easily seen. He seems to have changed his tone lately.

Thanks goodness these tweets are archived, so these turkeys (like tRump) get to eventually account for the things they've said.

[mcar]

92. So?

[Cha]

108. That's what I said..

mcar

[mcar]

112. I see good Democrats taken to task for one thing

from decades ago, but 2 year old tweets aren't significant?

[Cha]

114. Some from 2017.. and, agreeing with trump..

so yeah, that excuse doesn't fly.

And, that tweet about President Obama? that's some serious ********* right there!

[mcar]

135. Yeah. Levi is no Democrat, that's for sure

What's that some say about no dynasties?

[lapucelle]

158. They're old tweets from 2017?

Tweets from 2017 are "old"?

[Cha]

107. So? I can see clearly into Levi's agenda

"Levi Sanders: Dana Loesch is right, Obama is weakest president on Russians,"

[KY_EnviroGuy]

118. You guys missed my point and purpose.

I was just telling the original poster that the reason he couldn't those posts on his current Twitter page was because they were 2016 and 2017 posts.

Never had any doubts about this guy's core agenda, but it's harder so see in his currents Twitter posts.

[Cha]

119. K

[bettyellen]

154. And yet theyre still disgusting for Dems to read.

[lapucelle]

185. A congressional campaign lasts about 8 months,

and a representatives's term lasts 2 years. If a first time candidate (especially one with no record of service-based involvement with NH constituents in general, no less with those of a district where he does not reside) cannot stand by his public statements of the past 2 years, why should voters trust him?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

195. I would be suspicious, too.

If were a voter there, I would also question his knowledge of the wants and desires of the constituents in that district, as he's from the far distant side of the state.

I can see forgiving mature adults for some of their youthful indiscretions and mistakes of judgment and know that people can change as they mature. However, a man that's almost 49 YO pretty much has set opinions and attitudes, and I'm sure those tweets represent his core thinking.

IMO, he has no business running as a Democrat, and sure as hell wouldn't be welcomed on DU.

[George II]

80. Each of my screen shots has the date of the original tweet.

[mcar]

63. Good gad!

He sure doesn't seem like our friend.

[Cha]

103. Damn.. Not a fan of DACA, eh? But, a

big fan of Slamming Dems for their compassion.. touting fuckhead trump, of all racists.

[Wwcd]

109. "When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time"

~HRC 🍃

[Cha]

111. Precisely, Wwcd.. Many more should

have listened to what Hillary had to say.. on many important subjects, beneficial to our health and welfare.

[ehrnst]

204. Well. There's that.

[OneGrassRoot]

50. Holy shit. Are people who hate Dems allowed to run as a Dem?

Seems like some sabotage with a few of the so-called Dem candidates these days. They don't embrace Democratic values at all.

This really pisses me off.

Yeah, as another twitter person said, Levi is "BernieBros Ground Zero"

[mcar]

52. He sure doesn't sound like a Democrat, liberal or progressive

[George II]

61. Looking at his twitter fans (post #44) he looks like a republican.

[IluvPitties]

54. A Democrat he is not.

Same thing with his father.

[Wwcd]

55. The Dem Party needs to ban the liar from USING the Dem Party name.

He's clearly RW.
Agrees with Loesch
Supports Trump's lie of feeling your fking pain
Supports Bundy reasoning

He's clearly NOT a DEMOCRAT.
Bashes Pres Obama
Bashes Senator Warren
Bashes Senator Kamala Harris

GTFOut of our Party.
What a Lying bs artist he is.

He may as well run as a Repub. They'd scoop him up & offer big bucks for his demeaning the Dems for them.

Kick his lying ass out of the Party.
He is clearly not one of us.
#NoMoreGrifters

[Eliot Rosewater]

97. Hell, until the party AND sites that align with the party acknowledge the real truth

about certain folks, dont expect party leaders to stick their necks out and do it for them.

Party leaders or the DNC walks the tightrope, on the one hand dont piss off the millions of people who still think Bernie is their guy while exposing the truth. Tough to do both.

[Wwcd]

99. Then Mueller will have to do it. And he will.

Can't fking wait till the truth is finally exposed.

[SCVDem]

56. End Democratic division.

All Sanders must step aside for the future of our country.

Especially SH Sanders!

[bluestarone]

57. this kinda BULLSHIT TALK MAKES OUE FUTURE LOOK BLEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KitSileya]

73. Yeah, Levi Sanders is talking bullshit that is only meant to divide the Democrats.

He doesn't seem interested in fighting the Republicans, only in pandering to Trump voters by telling them it is understandable they voted for Trump, and dissing Democrats. If too many are taken in by people like Levi Sanders, in addition to those deplorables who support Trump, the future looks bleak indeed.

[mcar]

94. This!

[bluestarone]

199. yes this

fully AGREE

[Cha]

115. Talk to Levi about his devisive bullshit

[bluestarone]

200. after hearing all this i have NO REASON to talk to him! He's not a DEMOCRAT!!!!!

I vote straight DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always did and always will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cha]

201. Good.. Thank you!

[yardwork]

127. I agree. Levi Sanders is tweeting bullshit. He sounds like a Trumper.

[ehrnst]

207. Commenting on a candidates' own words is "Divisive?"

I'd say it's enlightening.

[Dawson Leery]

58. Does Mueller need to look into the Sanders family?

[Wwcd]

59. Why yes. He wouldn't have dropped Bernie's name if there was no reason to question him.

That's just not how the meticulous Robert Mueller does his job.
He doesn't casually enter a name on his official findings.

Wonder if the Bank Fraud case found more incriminating evidence than originally expected.
One thing leads to another & before ya know it, that Offshore acct is also being examined under tge FED Prosecutors microscope.

That's an odd story all by itself.
Jane's got some explaiining to do.

Levi needs to go get a law degree maybe.

[Dawson Leery]

110. Considering Tad Devine's ties to the Kremlin,

combined with a cache of hard left "activists" railing against the party means many questions must be asked.
It appears that Levi has an affinity for the far right, just as the far right for the far left.

[R B Garr]

65. Well, Tad Devine knows the playbook from his Manafort days.

Interesting question......

[George II]

89. Tad Devine worked with Manafort on the Presidential campaign of a Putin ally in the Ukraine.....

....Viktor Yanukovich.

[R B Garr]

105. That is truly scandalous. That means Devine has Kremlin ties since

he worked with Manafort in Ukraine. Just a quick Google turns up all kinds of information. I guess Devine made millions for his Old Towne Media group from his recent campaign. Looks like his Goldman Sachs prior employment has been scratched from Wiki?? Makes you wonder what Sanders would see in him.

Wow, there is so much real information out there. I would bet Mueller has reason to look at Devine/Manafort.

[Wwcd]

106. Imagine what Mueller sees. The whole dirty bunch can sit in prison forever. Make my fking day.

A lot of traitors got paid a whole lot of money to seat Trump in the WH.

Mueller knows every one of them.

[R B Garr]

116. It sure does explain a lot. Like why their campaigns

used the exact lingo about Hillary. Etc., so many many things are probably not a coincidence after all. Thank goodness Mueller is connecting the dots.

[R B Garr]

126. Oooh, just saw a twitter thread about 3 campaigns with Russia

connections: Trump, Stein and the Devine angle tapped to play spoiler. Manafort would know. Interesting links out there. If so much can be gleaned from a single twitter thread, imagine what Mueller is sitting on.

[Wwcd]

128. Interesting. About time Devine is dragged out of the shadows.

Stein & Devine.. 3rd party Spoilers.

That's what Mueller knows, and by now he's put it all togerher in a handsome indictment.

Enjoy your time in Mueller's spotlight you fkers.

They sold out America for 'Media & Money.'
Hope they ALL croak in prison.

Do you recall what twitter it was mentioned?

[R B Garr]

134. I will look it up again. I xd out of my phone already

but I can look through it.

[Wwcd]

136. Ok. Its about impossible to locate a tweet sometimes. They move pretty fast

Thanks

[R B Garr]

137. It was under Eric Garland. No idea who he is, but found it just

Googling around. Looks like he has multiple twitter convos about it, but I only partially went through one. I don’t know how to link on my phone, but Googling,

“Eric Garland twitter Devine” should bring them up.

Interesting!

[Wwcd]

138. Ok. I read Garland every day..except this one ..lol

I've been busy all day so I'll have to catch up on the day.
Garland is not one to post sensational stuff. And he always backs up his info.

He's a good one to follow.

Thanks much.

[R B Garr]

139. Sure thing! Good that you know who he is. I'm going to have to break down

and join Twitter. I'm very impressed with Garland. The info did look solid, as well as the responses.

[Wwcd]

142. I have an acct but never log on. It was too insane during 2016

I just read their twitter feeds & links from the interesting tweeters on that feed.

I have only about 3 that I read daily, but another 3 that I am familiar enough with that I check in with about once a week.
All these are accts I have followed for a couple of years.

[BannonsLiver]

66. Where are the Sanders followers on this?

[Orsino]

67. Dope. n/t

[KY_EnviroGuy]

69. Sanders and Loesch are right.....

President Obama was very, very weak on collusion with the Russians. He was also very weak on borrowing millions from Russian oligarchs for personal use. He was also an utter failure on Russian media such as RT and Faux News.


And, he never, never kissed Putin's ass......
Will the NH Dem Party eventually kick this guy to the curb along with his right-wing attitudes?.....

[Cha]

121. Oh yeah, you're the one

whose first sentence had me going.. until I read further. lol

Well Done, KY EnviroGuy

71. Esquire has picked up on this:

From https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a18754769/levi-sanders-bernie-sanders-son-congress/

Bernie Sanders’ Son Levi Is Running for Congress. Here’s What to Know About Him.
Levi Sanders is running for a House seat in New Hampshire.

BY MEGAN FRIEDMAN
FEB 27, 2018

Bernie Sanders, Jane Sanders, Levi SandersGetty Images
Bernie Sanders’ son is following in his father’s footsteps—he’s announcing his plans to run for Congress in New Hampshire. Levi Sanders is joining seven other Democrats and three Republicans in this year's race for the seat now held by Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, who is stepping down after her term ends.

The 48-year-old Levi currently works as a legal services analyst and has lived in New Hampshire for 15 years. He’s running to represent New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, though he actually lives in the state’s other district (that’s legal under the Constitution). Sen. Sanders, meanwhile, is running for reelection in Vermont this year, and is considered a potential candidate for president in 2020

...

His past tweets are drawing scrutiny online.

Tweet threads from users Dean Barker and Aphra Behn have gone viral since Sanders’ candidacy was announced. The threads both post old tweets, purportedly from Levi’s account, that seemingly trash political dynasties, support the NRA, and oppose a law to remove the Confederate flag from Virginia license plates, among other controversial topics. Levi has not yet commented about his past tweets.

...

[sheshe2]

81. Thanks, sl8 for posting the Esquire article.

This is troubling.

[Blue_Tires]

75. Bernie needs to straighten this shit out

because his son is going to drag his ass straight into the political abyss

Link to tweet

[Blue_true]

82. From what I have seen, the son speaks like the father. nt

[oasis]

85. Any "Dem" who's wobbly on assault rifles and rebel flags is out of step

with the direction of our party. Levi looks to be Tea Party material.

[Wwcd]

120. BINGO!! That would be the KOCH created & funded Tea Party, right?

Sanders is the 'tea party' designed to destroy the left, the Democratic Party.
Just as the Koch's destroyed the Republican Party via their Tea Party.
It is the horseshoe theory of how to destroy a free society.

HERE:

SNIP
..And then there are the most sophisticated puppet masters of all: the billionaire Koch brothers.
In July 2015, President Trump tweeted, "I really like the Koch Brothers (members of my [Palm Beach] Club), but I don't want their money or anything else from them. Cannot influence Trump!"

They don't influence Trump -- they man his administration.
According to a report by Public Citizen, a progressive advocacy group, 44 administration officials come from Koch-backed organizations or political groups. EPA Administrator Pruitt has been heavily supported by the Kochs (including $3 million spent to boost his confirmation), as has Energy Secretary Perry (including tens of thousands of dollars in donations to his campaigns).

And Vice President Mike Pence has long been intertwined with the Koch operation, through funding and staff.
Among his many ties to the Koch network, Pence's former chief of staff, Marc Short (now White House congressional liaison) is a top Koch operative who also served as president of the Koch's Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016202034

Appears the KOCH plan to overthrough the US Govt is coming together nicely.
Now to get rid of those pesky free society thinking Democrats.......All they needed was a Sarah Palin for the Left.

Time to dust off those old scrolls of the John Birch Society Better study up on what's ahead for the KOCH Master Plan.

They've bought themselves a country and A LOT of people sold us out for a sparkling promise of free stuff.
"yippee its all gonna be freeeee!", they said.

Who's going to save our society from the KOCH govt again?

The only Party that has ever governed on the side of the American people.
The Democratic Party.

[oasis]

122. The Koch Bros. love them some Mike Pence. For sure. Thanks for

your informative post, btw.

[Wwcd]

131. Indeed. I've been tracking down the KOCH's lifelong dream of ..

..their father's John Birch Society for many years.

They are a frightening anti-American group.

Anyone working for the benefit of the KOCH's deserves to die in prison.

[mcar]

96. Wait, he's pro Confederate flag?

That's it, I've seen enough. Dude is no Democrat.

[comradebillyboy]

76. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree does it?

[rockfordfile]

78. Never thought about Sander's son. Bot wow the guy is a far right republican. He sounds like trump.

[The Polack MSgt]

84. "Bot wow" is genius

perhaps accidentally genius but brilliant nonetheless




I think I'll replace "BUT" with "BOT" whenever I discuss Broflakes or Repugs from now on

[comradebillyboy]

88. Broflakes...lol, I think I'll borrow that term.

[The Polack MSgt]

130. We share without worry

And give without sorrow..

My Baba circa 1973...

If I ever say anything worth sharing - use it with my blessing

[brer cat]

83. Wow! That is no Democrat.

He should be right at home in the republican party.

[LexVegas]

91. What the actual fuck? nt

[Squinch]

101. Ah, shit.

[yardwork]

125. Pro Trump, pro NRA, anti Obama, anti Planned Parenthood - what an asshole.

[Cha]

129. "Barack Obama Is the Most Popular Politician in the Country"

lapucelle https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210289049

Wonder how they like him in the New Hampshire District that Levi doesn't live in, but wants to represent?

yardwork

[yardwork]

132. Mahalo, Cha! I think that Levi Sanders will lose.

[Cha]

144. I hope so.. I hate to think of all the air

he'd suck up.

[Lint Head]

133. Too bad. Certain spawn of a politician do not have all their brain cells.

[NurseJackie]

148. Agreed.

Most definitely!

140. Anti immigrant?

[lapucelle]

184. "Threatening suspension" is motivation?

Only for the 1% who have influential and powerful parents parents. For the other 99%, its a repercussion.

[GaryCnf]

187. Really desperate

Yet not surprising. The tweet is attacking the threat, NOT the students calling for the end of the easy availability of high capacity semiautomatic rifles.

Primary is over. Party is moving forward.

[lapucelle]

193. The tweet calls the threat of suspension "motivation".

Last edited Wed Feb 28, 2018, 11:58 AM - Edit history (1)

In the real world, that is a serious repercussion.

Only the privileged would laugh off a three day suspension that could very well impact college acceptance or a scholarship or internship application.

Not everyone is an entitled "special exception" by virtue of their personal connections, and those who are need to learn what the world is really like for the 99%.

[GaryCnf]

206. He's not

Laughing it off. He's supporting the victim. His current Twitter feed is 100% supportive of the students. Now I know that doesn't fit the agenda of Dean Barker and the rest of the folks who are still fighting the primary and their treasure trove of opposition research, but it's reality.

[Cha]

143. Who's Levi Sanders talking to.. "Elite Left"?..

[Me.]

152. Can't Be Him Or His Father

Elite that is...word is BS is down to his last 6 mil in campaign funds.

Cha

[Cha]

155. I guess that's who Levi is talking to with

all his damn dumb Tweets slamming Dems all over the place.



But, trump.. oh, there's another story..



This makes trump voters very happy.. GO levi


UNREAL

[Me.]

156. Ugh...JUst Ugh

[lapucelle]

159. Elite left? That would be Susan Sarandon.

But that's an "old" tweet from October 2017...4 months ago.

[Me.]

161. So Not As Old As His Father

[NastyRiffraff]

149. Apparently, there's a whole pack of REAL Democrats running

I honestly know nothing about the rest of them, but surely there are at least a couple of good, strong Democrats on that list who would be much, much better than Levi Sanders.

This is an unofficial list at this point:

Mark S. Mackenzie - State Rep.
Deaglan McEachern
Mindi Messmer - State Rep.
Terence O'Rourke
Chris Pappas
Levi Sanders
Lincoln Soldati
Maura Sullivan

Carol Shea-Porter - Incumbent is not running.

[Gothmog]

169. I hope that real Democrat wins this primary

[NBachers]

175. Who can be pinpointed in this list for contributions to prevent another Sanders con job disaster?

Grind this fucking loser into the dirt.

After doing a bit of my own research, it looks like there are some actual, real democrats running in this race:

https://ballotpedia.org/New_Hampshire%27s_1st_Congressional_District_election,_2018

Mark S. Mackenzie - State Rep.[10]
Deaglan McEachern[11]
Mindi Messmer - State Rep.[12]
Terence O'Rourke[13]
Chris Pappas[14]
Levi Sanders[15]
Lincoln Soldati[16]
Maura Sullivan

In my quick review, I've been most impressed with, in this order: Maura Sullivan, Mark S. Mackenzie, Terence O'Rourke, and Mindi Messmer. If I had to narrow it down at this point, I'd probably make it Maura and Mark, with Maura getting my contributions.

There's plenty of information at the link. Let's talk about who else is running, and see who to focus on.

[ellie]

151. Jesus,

what a scumbag.

[ecstatic]

162. Fck that racist clown. He's actually worse than his dad. nt

[betsuni]

164. What the hell is his problem.

[dalton99a]

165. Hey, Levi, you forgot to add "#MAGA"

[Gothmog]

168. Here is another reason to dislike Levi Sanders

Link to tweet

[progressoid]

170. Heh heh heh. I love how the anti-purity police just became the purity police.

[KitSileya]

171. He's attacking Democrats and saying Trump and the NRA have good points.

Pointing that out is not purity police, it's being a Democrat. Now, if I had whined about him not wanting $15 minimum wage immediately, but rather from $12 to $15, that would be purity police. If I had lambasted him for wanting to restrict free college education to those who cannot afford it otherwise, instead of everyone including the Trump grandchildren, you would have a point. But I didn't. So this isn't being purity police, this is pointing out how Levi Sanders uses more time on attacking the Democrats and supporting the Republicans, how he scoffs at the very base of the party and is borderline, if not completely, racist. It has nothing to do with purity and everything to do with being a decent human being.

[betsuni]

174. +1

[NBachers]

176. Fine, intelligent, and coherent response. I would've told prohemorrhoid to blow it out their ass.

Thanks for keeping me out of trouble.

[emulatorloo]

203. What kind of progressive re-tweets egregious RW hack Dana Loesch?

She’s poison.

[NanceGreggs]

177. As John Fugelsang so aptly observed ...

... the douche doesn't fall far from the bag.

[Sophia4]

179. But this is Levi Sanders' Twitter account.

https://twitter.com/celentra?lang=en

None of the stuff you link to is on there.

I don't use Twitter. I'm confused by this.

[RandySF]

183. You're only seeing what Sanders posted in the last 24 hours.

[George II]

192. Apparently when he started thinking about running as a Democrat he cleaned up his twitter history...

....but here's yet another one. Note the date.

[radius777]

181. The alt-left are neo-Dixiecrats.

Both the alt-left and alt-right are retrograde movements that hold nostalgia for the New Deal era. Both groups have resentment towards civil rights which they view as identity politics that transformed 'their' Dem party and their way of life. Both hold a militant populist worldview, where a 'great leader' will save them from an elite oppressor who caused all of this 'mess' for them.

I think at some point the alt-left will join the Trumpers in the GOP, and the anti-Trumper Repubs will join Dems. Basically we're going to get some form of realignment in the next decade or so.

[yardwork]

186. In other words, they're racist misogynistic privileged white assholes.

[betsuni]

188. +1

[JHB]

210. Prixiecrats?

189. Levi was Senior Policy Strategist to Bernie's presidential campaign

and Consultant to his 2006 Senate campaign.

We hear putin pays well.

Actually, he just sounds like an uninformed twit. The term gadfly seems to be the operant word.
