Why does the media keep giving this mon sterling a free pass?

Rhetorical question.

Trump launches all-out attack on the press

The billionaire had called the news conference to announce an accounting of his at least $5.6 million in fundraising for veterans groups, but spent most of the 40 minutes criticizing and insulting reporters -- collectively and at times individually -- as "dishonest," "not good people," sleazy, and among the worst human beings he has ever met.
And he vowed the White House briefing room would be just as combative as the Trump Tower lobby, where the developer addressed reporters Tuesday, should he ascend to the Oval Office.

Cross country road trip funny!

I was delivering a bookcase to my daughter. It was too large to put inside the SUV so I wrapped it in moving pads, shrink wrap and two layers of tarps. I did not want it to be damaged by road debris or get wet in the event of rain. It was a 14 hour drive so, lots of miles.

Anyway, I was stopped refueling the rig with this bignore box strapped on top. This old guy kept staring at it, so I looked at him and said; do you know how much it costs to ship a body these days?

Disney CEO Bob Iger to Bernie Sanders...

“To Bernie Sanders: We created 11,000 new jobs at Disneyland in the past decade, and our company has created 18,000 new jobs in the US in the last 5 years. How many jobs have you created? What have you contributed to the US economy?”


So what could Sanders have said to cause such a reaction from Iger? Well, at the Anaheim speech in question, Sanders told his supporters:

“Here in Anaheim and the surrounding areas, Disney pays its workers wages that are so low, that many of them are forced to live in motels because they can’t afford a decent place to live. Meanwhile, Disney made a record-breaking profit of nearly 3-billion dollars last quarter.”

Sanders also went on to speak about Disney’s hiring of foreign workers by saying:

“Now on the other side of the world in Florida, in Disney World, Disney replaced 250 workers with low wage foreign workers who came in on what is called the H-1B Program…Meanwhile, the CEO of Disney made 46-and-a-half million dollars in total compensation last year. And that’s what we’re talking about, that is what we’re talking about in a rigged economy.”

Is Bernie really so aggrieved that he's now willing to explicitly campaign on Trump's behalf?

Is Bernie really so aggrieved by losing the Democratic nomination that he's now willing to explicitly campaign on Trump's behalf?

Donald Trump says he'd be delighted to debate Bernie Sanders:
This is just sad. Trump is the master of modern publicity, and he knows perfectly well that a debate like this would (a) help Trump and (b) hurt Hillary. That's it. That's all it would do. And Bernie is all in.

Is Bernie really so aggrieved by losing the Democratic nomination that he's now willing to explicitly campaign on Trump's behalf? Because that's all this is. What happened to the old Bernie Sanders?

Don't know if this publicity stunt will take place, but the fact that Sanders is willing to do it says it all. He duped the Democratic Party and the Berners.

How is this even allowed on DEMOCRATIC Underground?

I thought we were supposed to be supporting Democratic candidates and not the forming of a 3RD party.
