There's no way a guy who pisses on billionaires as his main stump speech is going to get support from the DNC when faced with a gzillionaire as opposition. The Dems will take the money all day and they'll piss on Bernie. Again. Edited February 18, 2020 by IDBillzFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 ...Bern "feeling the burn"?......deja vu...………. MSNBC's Ari Melber calls out Tom Perez, DNC for changing debate rules to help Bloomberg: 'It's not fair' By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News MSNBC anchor Ari Melber called out the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as well as its chairman Tom Perez for changing its debate rules that could pave the way for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to land a spot on the debate stage. The DNC sparked controversy last month after it announced that it would no longer require its candidates to meet a donor threshold, which along with polling benchmarks were required for 2020 Democrats to meet in order to have a podium. But since Bloomberg has been self-funding his campaign, he was considered ineligible to participate despite his rise in the polls- that is until the DNC changed the rules. After pointing out Perez's explanation of the donor rule last year, which was to empower "grassroots" movements for more unknown candidates, and his defense of the debate rules after they were criticized by former 2020 candidate Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J, Melber asked his viewers if it's "fair" for the DNC to change the rules "in the middle of the game." https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-ari-melber-tom-perez-dnc-bloomberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomberg’s ‘mercenaries’: Billionaire Dem funding network of climate lawyers inside state AG offices By Tyler Olson | Fox News A program funded by 2020 presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is paying the salaries of lawyers who are farmed out to liberal state attorney general offices to pursue climate-based litigation -- a compact critics say amounts to Bloomberg buying state law enforcement employees to advance his preferred political agenda. The arrangement, which currently pays the salaries of Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs) in 10 Democratic AG offices, is drawing new scrutiny now that Bloomberg is running for president. The New York University School of Law's State Energy & Environmental Impact Center, which was started in 2017 with $5.6 million from Bloomberg's nonprofit, hires mid-career lawyers as "research fellows" before providing them to state AGs where they assist in pursuing "progressive" policy goals through the courts. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bloomberg-network-climate-lawyers-ag I had to look at the linked article:"According to its website, the NYU State Impact Center currently has attorneys placed in the AG offices for Washington, D.C., Delaware, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Oregon. The attorney general running each of those offices is a Democrat." It does not surprise me that the governor's cap and trade agenda is in now in round II, after being defeated in the last session, is being supported by outside interests, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Goat Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 How Tall is Michael Bloomberg, Really? "He's 5'5", or I'll eat my hat. President Donald Trump recently mocked Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg as “a 5’4” mass of dead energy.” Immediately, the mainstream press and tech companies were out playing defense for the diminutive billionaire founder of Bloomberg LP and former mayor of New York City. A National Public Radio host in a blasé tone rebuffed this as another one of the President’s lies, stating that Bloomberg was in reality 5’8”. Presumably the host relied on Google for her fact checking, because that’s the height that the tech giant lists. As a former Bloomberg News employee, I heard this and shook my head in disbelief. Google is lying. I’ve seen the man in person, and he’s strikingly short. My colleagues and I estimated him at 5’5”. Reviewing morning news reports, I note that Google isn’t the only one that inflates Bloomberg’s height. The Daily Caller and NBC News give him 5’7”, the Washington Free Beacon 5’6”. Apparently Bloomberg himself has said 5’7”, but then he’s also claimed to be 5’10”, which is taller than I am and contrary to my memory of having to tilt my head downward when I stood near him on one occasion several years ago..."

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 ....HUH?...this CANNOT be right....."Shakir told Vanity Fair that Fox News has been "more fair than MSNBC."" Sanders campaign manager rips MSNBC for 'undermining' senator's candidacy: 'You can feel the disdain' for his supporters By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News The campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., blasted MSNBC's coverage of the progressive candidate, accusing the liberal network of "undermining" the campaign. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Faiz Shakir revealed that he had "approached" MSNBC president Phil Griffin, recalling from the exchange, "We watched a ton of terrible coverage occurring and we thought we’d at least try to address it." Supporters of the Sanders campaign have been quite vocal with their complaints towards MSNBC in recent weeks, with anchor Chuck Todd being repeatly named. Todd raised eyebrows for asking how Sanders is "considered a frontrunner" despite his victory in New Hampshire and his surge in the polls and was slammed for suggesting that Sanders supporters were a "digital brownshirt brigade," which was condemned by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). https://www.foxnews.com/media/sanders-campaign-manager-faiz-shakir-msnbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
