3. Good Lord, Sir, Is He Still Around?

Not that I mind much just about anyone joining in to epater les Bernie, but still....

Although he is hardly possessed of inside information or even any particular acuity of analysis, he's not wrong here. 'Bernie' had his wife go out on the shows in 2016 to suggest Mrs. Clinton might be indicted (a lot of radicals in his day were 'chicks up front!' when things looked risky), and there is a distinct whiff of circling vulture about much that his campaign coterie is pumping out into the social media.

The fact is Sanders campaigns not to gain the Democratic Party's nomination for President, but to weaken if not wreck the 'Democratic Establishment'. For 'Bernie', ousting Trump and ending the Republican majority in the Senate is barely an afterthought to this long-standing purpose. Once Sanders' supporters face this fact squarely, they may be able to decide honestly what their best course in this election is: voting against 'Bernie' in any future primary, and for Mr. Biden and Democrats all down the ticket to the lowest office on the ballot come November.

It is probably true that Sanders sees destroying the 'Democratic Establishment' as an essential precondition to defeating Trump et al, and so by his own lights he means it when he says he will do all he can to defeat Trump. But that belief is so self-serving and delusional it deserves not just scorn but contempt.

As with Trump, the only real cure is to deprive the man of the oxygen of worshipful attention. The effect would be that of a bucket of water on the wicked witch of Oz....





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

The Palmer Report (TPR) is a liberally biased news site / blog that deals more in confirmation bias than in actual reporting. Confirmation bias generally consists of taking a set of facts, often unrelated, and building a web of conjecture around them in order to present a specific point of view as opposed to the actual facts. While confirmation bias may not be, technically, fake news, the sensational nature of this type of reporting often does more harm than good. Mr. Palmer has been criticized for inaccurate reporting in his work by other fact and bias checking sites, both for his work on Daily News Bin and on TPR, as evidenced by the entries on this list from Snopes, as well this article from the The Atlantic. Although TPR does contain some factual content, the misleading and biased way in which it is presented earns TPR a Questionable rating. (D. Kelley 4/3/17)

Overall, we rate the Palmer Report Left Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that routinely favor the left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks. (11/25/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 9/21/2019)

'People want it to be true': Inside the growing influence of a mysterious anti-Trump website

https://www.businessinsider.com/the-palmer-report-bill-louise-mensch-2017-5?r=US&IR=T

snip

Last weekend, two Trump critics — Louise Mensch, a former member of the British Parliament, and Claude Taylor, a former Clinton White House official — cited anonymous sources in claiming there was a "sealed indictment" against Trump. (Taylor is listed as a writer for the Palmer Report.) Their report gained traction on Twitter, where it was seized on by fellow critics of the president and mocked by many legal experts who questioned its comprehension of the Constitution.

As it often is, the pair's reporting was picked up by the Palmer Report, a left-leaning website that has been gaining influence online as prominent figures in politics and media share and cite its stories and information.

The "about" page of the Palmer Report thanks numerous people for sharing its articles, including several MSNBC figures; Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe; two former governors; Rep. Ted Lieu of California; and celebrities like Patricia Arquette, Mark Ruffalo, and Debra Messing. The site has also caught the attention of former Obama administration officials. Ned Price, who was a spokesman for the National Security Council and had worked for the CIA, recently shared a Palmer Report article on Twitter, to which Eric Schultz, who was a senior adviser to Obama, replied, "Too bad nobody flagged this earlier."

When journalists — including Business Insider Executive Editor Brett LoGiurato — asked Price about sharing the Palmer Report story, Price said that "every once in a blue moon, the tin hat can fit."

10. As much as I am cynical regarding Bernie's motives, that was about as nasty a hit piece ...

as ever I've read. It has absolutely no place here.

Terrible piece of shit. Really abysmal.

[ucrdem]

13. It's inviting trouble.

Serious trouble. Sanders knows this. He needs to get out.

[ucrdem]

15. It's not the electorate that worries me, or DUers.

It's the fanatic no one hears about until he breaks into the headlines. Bernie claiming against all reason that he's winning, or should be, with the suggestion that he's being cheated, is a recipe for bad trouble. And I can't believe he's not aware of this.

[marble falls]

21. I can't believe we have this is an OP on DU. It's Breitbart level.

[marble falls]

20. Especially patently false ones. Bernie's doesn't have any traction, we should not be ...

countenancing lies and wild speculation.

[marble falls]

19. He needs to get out. Publishing scurrilous crap like this is counter productive. Its patently a ...

lie at worst and wild speculation at best. We wouldn't tolerate that kind of poop smeared on Joe, would we?

[ucrdem]

22. It's not nice to spell it out, naturally, but if Bernie didn't think Joe was vulnerable,

why would we be hearing Tara Reade's pathetic tale?

[marble falls]

23. So we've become Republicans? We want to degenerate into mud slinging? That's not the ...

Democratic Party I know and I bet Joe Biden wouldn't like us acting like this in his name.

[ucrdem]

24. So how do you explain why he hasn't had the grace to congratulate Biden on his wins

and get the heck out of the race?

[sarcasmo]

16. My 2016 dejavu was spot on.

[empedocles]

17. It is possible, that if BS heard thru the grapevine, that JB was infected,

that his first impulse would be of empathy for JB. Possible, but . . .

The idea that BS never considered a possible JB infection, etc., - seems ridiculous.

[Wanderlust988]

18. The thing is, Bernie would never be the nominee anyway

Even Biden just disappeared, Bernie would never be nominated by the party to be the nominee. He doesn't have the support. The party would nominate someone else, probably Cuomo or something, before Bernie.
