It's so badly obvious, Trumps whole team is still using the "alternate truths" platform. Accuse the otherside of doing what you are actually guilty of doing. Sanders is pretty transparent about his elections and actions, the only thing he isn't transparent about... Using the same coat! The man bought 1 and was given 1 of the exact same winter coats... That's right! 2 coats!!!! 2 coats hanging in a house of LIES!

Why would Sanders argue with a freak?
Because if you don't stand up to them, you stand with them.
Could they take any other photo of him for the article? They are ridiculing him, making him look like an angry old monkey, completely in the line with what this Corpsefucker Jr wanted to achieve. With Musk suing Waltz for a sieg heil callout at the same time, I believe, it's a planned crusade against the last two guys who could have got everyone's respect if not support, and both attacks look nothing like boxing, but more like pissing down from the top of the ladder while having an idiotic laughter and cheering oneself for how it's top comedy. They may not feel threatened by these two old white dudes with a stellar rep, but they want to hammer everything that's left on the table and still moving.
And, well, the more infuriating thing than what these inbreds do is that they don't target Harris, because since the failed elections she is nowhere to be seen after being a VP and nearly a president, and that just shows how bad of the pick she was if even Bush Jr of all people had a media coverage, and she just didn't.
I see this image and I see an energetic man fighting for human rights, despite the age.
What the fuck do you want Harris to do? She's not President, Donald Trump is President. A big reason for that is people constantly needing to blame Democrats for everything. You got it so bad you're right now blaming an unemployed Democrat for the bad things that are happening while the GOP is controlling all branches of government.
The bad things that are happening are because people didn't vote for Harris. If you didn't vote for Harris, you're a part of the reason why bad things are happening. She ran a good campaign, was obviously the better choice for President, but not enough people voted for her because they're stupid. You have the government the American people voted for, or allowed to happen by not voting.

“And by the way, Bernie, the problem of corruption is not just in the federal agencies. It’s in Congress too,” Kennedy said. “Almost all the members of this panel, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry and protecting their interests.”
“Oh, no, no, no, no,” Sanders said, raising his hand to quiet the applause that erupted from the gallery. “I ran for president like you. I got millions and millions of contributions. They did not come from the executives; not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry. They came from the workers.”
RFK just kept saying it over and over again like Sanders didn't address it. 1.5 million of the 200 million raised for his presidential campaign came from health care workers. And he still didn't answer the question, only for Sanders to be told he's battering the witness.
Fucking hate this time line.
RFK just kept saying it over and over again like Sanders didn’t address it.
Sanders is used to this sort of treatment. Though not from Republicans.
Keep saying it as if it was never addressed because that's what works.
If you say something enough times it is reality to the majority of the voter base in the US.
If you ignore all refutes logic or facts and simply steam ahead with your word being the only right word then that will become reality
Yup, plenty of people will say that RFK won the argument, simply because he remained aggressive and seemed to be on the offensive. Lots of people don’t critically listen to the content; They just listen to the tone, and determine the winner based on that.
That's part of the fundamental problem is caring about who won instead of what is actually correct

Can't someone just make him follow in his father's footsteps already?

"Oh my, who's that joining Royal Rumble...

Questioning Sanders’ integrity would be the last thing I’d want to do; especially if I were as ill-advised as RFK.
We're talking about a guy who, I shit you not. picked up roadkill -- specifically a dead bear -- and kept it in his car all day. He was planning on eating it but got busy. Eventually, it ceased to be fresh enough even for his palate so he decided to dump it in central park. He staged it with an old bike he had in his car so that it looked like a bicyclist rode into it and killed it. This is the quality of decision making we're talking about here.
The video that he released where he’s telling the story to Rosanne Barr of all people, is absolutely unhinged.

RFK believes that he is above reproach. He is the delusional you get when you are born into massive wealth and privilege and think that you personally hit a home run. Completely surrounded by yes men his entire life. Trumpesk even.

Ill-advised? You fucking what? You think this will make a difference?
Don’t get angry at me. Im not your enemy. Focus that rage where it belongs: the rich.
Nothing will ever make a difference if no one expects it to make a difference. I hate this defeatism
I feel sorry for Sanders calling out that buffoon.
I feel sorry that the Democratic party opted to cheat us out of President Sanders.

Sanders is one person that I wouldn't question the integrity of. Malicious dopes, would, but I wouldn't.
