Daily News Bin: Bernie Sanders is speaking at Vatican for 10 minutes during a coffee break

[kennetha]

Poor Bernie! Nobody Wants him there.

Even as Bernie Sanders and various people in the Vatican publicly argue over how or whether he was invited to speak at a Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences meeting, the schedule for the event has been posted on the official Vatican website. Two things have become clear. One is that Pope Francis won’t be there, as he’s scheduled to be in Greece at the time. The other is that Sanders is an unwanted last-second addition who is only speaking for ten minutes of a coffee break.

Bernie Sanders is speaking at Vatican for 10 minutes during a coffee break, Pope won’t be there

Plus they seem to be pissed at him.

With Bernie Sanders in the midst of having his worst week ever, thanks to a horrendous editorial board interview followed by a cartoonish attack on his opponent that he was forced to immediately walk back, it appeared he finally got a bit of good news: he was able to announce that Pope Francis had invited him to the Vatican. But even this has gotten him into hot water, because it turns out Sanders tried to trick his way into the meeting, and Vatican officials are throwing a fit. Publicly.

1. lol - you are one of the funny ones

better than tv

[NanceGreggs]

4. Well, sometimes reality ...

... can be amusing.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

8. Climate change and the sixth global mass-extinction event is happening now

yep - supporting the slow death march is a laugh a mile

many thanks

[DanTex]

46. Good thing Bernie's flying all the way to Rome for a 10 minute political stunt.

That's a great way to make use of fossil fuels, don't you think?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

63. texas

lol

[azurnoir]

30. yes it is like the Pope telling the Clinton's NO to speaking at their Foundation last fall

the grapes seem oh so sour

[Vattel]

50. Looks like the bell rang.

[mariawr]

59. Paging Capehart and Brock. Shit needs flinging aisle two. Stat

[RepubliCON-Watch]

2. Oh look, the Daily Trash Bin.

Brock hatin' on my dude again?? Got it!

[beam me up scottie]

3. Ah the daily trash bin, fake gnus from fake journalists for the discerning Hillary supporter.

[JonLeibowitz]

9. FAKE? Someone is not amused...

[CoffeeCat]

11. hahaha! Nice! (nt)

[beam me up scottie]

26. He does look angry!

[Kalidurga]

5. At this rate you will surpass FOX "News" in much blathering about nothing.

[dchill]

6. Yeah? Wish I could be there!

I know Italian coffee has GOT to be good.

[passiveporcupine]

7. Yes, this is getting comical.

It's like they really think this is real news.

Maybe we could help out and offer up some new links to check out, like Breitbart, Red state, and I'm sure there are a lot more good ones. We don't want this poster to run out of material.

[dchill]

12. Personally, I won't believe it until I read it in Blue Nation Review.

:gag me with a spoon:

[azurnoir]

32. no no no nothing but the Daily Beast will do

[CoffeeCat]

10. OMG, they've gone from being OCD about Bernie's trip to full-blown batshit

I read the article and visions of the National Enquirer came to mind.

The entire article is a farce.

There's even a picture of the Pope looking like he's being scolded, and a picture of BErnie next to the Pope, that looks like he's yelling at the Pope.

OMG...next it will be that Bernie is Bat Boy.

This is crazy.

Not worth our time refuting.

[dchill]

14. Wait a minute! I thought Bernie was bat boy!

[TM99]

15. They are the National Enquirer

of the internet.

This rag isn't worth shit. It is totally in the bag for Clinton. It is pathetic the lies, innuendo, and smears that passes for 'journalism' these days.

This also Bill Palmer outs himself as a Clinton shill almost a year ago. He hates the 'purity left', which is just code for the fact that he is a moderately social and economically conservative New Dem. And he and Kos are buds. Need I say more?!

[840high]

19. Wrong.

National Enquirer has more class and real news.

[beam me up scottie]

28. Bat boy!!! Bwahahahaha!!! You nailed it!

[winter is coming]

49. Tsk, tsk.

Let's leave Lindsey Graham out of this.

[ecstatic]

13. Lol: "neither the Pope nor the people running this Vatican event – can figure out who ‘invited’ Bern

In what the president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences hosting the Vatican event is labeling a “monumental discourtesy,” she’s criticizing Bernie Sanders for trying to turn a non-political event into a political one by inserting his own presence. But now the office of the Pope says that Sanders was invited “not by the pope but by the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.” In other words, no one involved – neither the Pope nor the people running this Vatican event – can figure out who ‘invited’ Bernie Sanders or even if he has been invited. Did he simply invite himself and hope no one involved would have the guts to call him out for it?

[CoffeeCat]

17. Some goofball at a keyboard must have a very active imagination

That's all made up. He probably thought of it while he typed

Daily News Bin is a pro-Hillary site. No doubt they are spinning night and day to turn something wonderful into a horrifying nightmare.

Hilarious.

That first line about the president of the Pontifical Academy of Science....Um, she's been debunked and outed as a liar. Monsignor Sorondo has gone on record to say that he invited Bernie. He even sent over a copy of the invitation that was signed by Sorondo and the president of the Pontifical Academy of Science. Now, they're using her quotes that have been completely outted as false. Sorondo said about her, "It was not that way!"

Sorondo is the Chancellor of the Pontifically Acadmey of Science and he's "a close aid to the Pope" according to Reuters. She's been silent and in a hidey hole somewhere, since she was outted as a liar by one of the Pope's aids!

That's some good comedy right there. Crazy good.

[ThePhilosopher04]

16. Obviously they do since he was invited. Hillary was not

I know this fact must really sting Hillarians since they find it of utmost import to post Hillary propaganda stories in order to attempt to discredit him. This Pope and Bernie have a lot in common and share many of the same moral values. Hillary not so much.

[SFnomad]

17. I'm sure BS and the Pope could yuck it up over BS's support for a woman's right to choose

Usually that one issue is enough to make you persona non grata with the Catholic Church. I wonder how BS got around that?

[ThePhilosopher04]

20. Because they are grown ups

and understand how to cultivate common ground. I'm personally not a religious person but I do believe in spirituality and the moral compass which is inside us all. Bernie and the Pope share similar moral compass settings in my view.

[SFnomad]

21. It's my belief that you're certainly naïve about this n/t

[ThePhilosopher04]

22. Grasshopper, it is my belief that I am not.

[SFnomad]

23. We get to agree to disagree then n/t

[ThePhilosopher04]

25. This is America, for whatever that's worth.

[SFnomad]

33. Which is a non sequitur... but whatever ... buh bye n/t

[ThePhilosopher04]

38. Whatever Pal. Adios.

[SFnomad]

39. Ciao

[beam me up scottie]

24. Wait, wut? Isn't it Hillary who said she'd be willing to compromise on abortion?

And didn't she also believe that "marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman" until quite recently?

Considering that and the fact that she kissed up to Rick Warren with glee it sounds like she could yuck it up with the pope just fine...

And the pope still snubbed her, go figure.

[ThePhilosopher04]

27. She earned the Camp Weathervane moniker honestly

Take every position under the sun and throw enough bullshit around, the sheep can't keep up.

[beam me up scottie]

31. They just mill around making up stories and patting themselves on the back for being so clever...

[hollysmom]

29. quoting the daily trash bin again. People really need to read real news sometimes.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. dailynewsbin

lol

[bvf]

47. Stop that right now.

Bill Palmer already said that newsbin is reliable, so that should settle the matter once and for all.

[Warren DeMontague]

48. and after all, isn't a "bin" where we all store our most valuable and informative treasures?

[bvf]

52. That would be the perfect avatar

for our brand new friend. I'm sure Hillary can front him the expense of a star membership.

[Ken Burch]

35. Give it a rest already. There was never an issue here.

It is insanely pathetic and petty to dwell on this.

[840high]

36. Google - Bill Palmer

News Bin.

[MFM008]

37. Perhaps they will sneak him in at Vespers

or tea.

[bjo59]

40. You can look up the truth yourself on the following link.

Scroll down until you reach the program. Is that so difficult?

41. Far different than being summoned to the Vatican to meet with the Pope as we were first told.

[BainsBane]

42. Go Bernie!

44. Beaking news:

Sanders is flying to Rome on Trumps Jet with the Clooney's, where he has 10 minutes to squeeze in as many racist jokes as he can.
Being that Sanders moves on JP time(Jewish People) he will probably be there 3.2 seconds late and embarrass the nation which
will make the majority of Americans who hate Hillary transmogrify into people who frantically adore her.

[Starry Messenger]

45. And the Pope will be in Greece that day.

Hope the jet lag was worth it though.

[dchill]

54. Yeah, that trip was moved to the 16th, so...

What a bummer for you.

[riderinthestorm]

56. The Pope is going to Greece on the 16th. The article gets even basic facts wrong

53. Clinton Supporters Knock Sanders & Vatican

Why do so many of the Clinton supporters feel the need to knock the Vatican via Bernie? Do they expect Catholics to believe that the Vatican was tricked into having Bernie come to this important conference? With so many of these threads I'm beginning to wonder just who it is that you are attacking. Is it really Bernie or are you just using Bernie so you can attack the Vatican? After all the Vatican has made clear that they want him to attend. Do you not believe them? Why do you keep questioning them after they've already said that they want him there? This is truly bad form and not a very smart political move.

[DrDan]

60. It's not Sanders, it's Sanders-supporters

at least for me

I think it was an honor to be invited - even if it was requested.

It is just that so many supporters are having a hard time dealing with reality. Many here (1) insist the invitation came directly from the Pope even though the Vatican itself has stated otherwise, (2) that a meeting with the Pope is inevitable even though there is no indication one way or the other, and (3) have made his 10-minutes the highlight of the day - the "headliner" even though the time allotted and the placement of the time is not prime-time.

[noretreatnosurrender]

62. Thank you for your response

I haven't viewed most of the threads about this topic because after so many it just becomes counterproductive. In the ones I did read I saw stupid stuff on both sides. I really hope people move on and find something better to argue about. These kind of threads make us all look like idiots.

55. "I just flew in from New York, and boy are my arms tired! -- Take my wife, please!"

"Thank you, thank you! I'll be here for 9 more minutes. Try the veal. Don't forget to tip your waiters!"

57. Oooh, will he collect $65K like Chelsea did for her 10 minute speech?
