4. Feel the Bern!

16. I like Bernie, but dude, you've got to drop that phrase. It worked once. Time for a new one.

[Autumn]

20. A phrase that worked once? How often does he respond to a stupid question from Cheney's

idiot spawn with that phrase? She tweeted her stupid question on July 31. Personally I have a problem with her typical nasty ass tweet and not Bernie's response, which was dead on.

5. Liz can't comprehend that we can detect a missile launched

to hit us in seconds? Dishonesty is the GOP way.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. Remember when Russia detected US missile launches and the officer in charge disobeyed launch orders?

.

He didn't believe the equipment and sat it out in fear as he was disobeying superior's orders to fire his ICBMs.

It turned out to be faulty information. Had he followed orders, we would not be here right now.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov

Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov (Russian: Станисла́в Евгра́фович Петро́в; 7 September 1939 – 19 May 2017) was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces who became known as "the man who single-handedly saved the world from nuclear war" for his role in the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident.

On 26 September 1983, three weeks after the Soviet military had shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to five more. Petrov judged the reports to be a false alarm,[1] and his decision to disobey orders, against Soviet military protocol,[2] is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies that could have resulted in large-scale nuclear war. Investigation later confirmed that the Soviet satellite warning system had indeed malfunctioned.[3]

19. I am 1000% percent on your side - the idea of retaliating

with these weapons is insane. Still - Cheney’s statement is so obviously purposefully ignorant that it burns

6. Bernie ❤️ Liz

This is why I like Bernie. He is loyal and unapologetically passionate.

10. Sounds like his first strike hit the target

[yardwork]

15. "Commie" is so 1950s. Look who has daddy issues.

Liz, it's 2019. There are no commies.

22. Adam Best goes in for the kill!

[kiri]

9. give up Wyoming?

Except for Yellowstone and the Tetons we could give up Cheneys and Wyoming with little loss.

[Hekate]

11. Now *that* is a righteous burn!

[JDC]

12. Zinger!!!

[demmiblue]

13. Ha!

Fuck off Cheney spawn.

[yardwork]

17. Liz Cheney is an example of the scum of this country

[Uncle Joe]

21. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread BeyondGeography.

23. (alternative history) Sept 6, 1983, first use nukes

started WWIII. A 'first use' option makes everyone less safe.

24. Righteously wry, Bernie. Keep Cheney's evil in the public eye. He should be in prison, after all.
