As President, Sanders Will Live in Cabin - Turn WH into Homeless Shelter

Exclusive to NYSB by Anoo Ryder

In a surprising turn in the Democratic Primary race, Bernie Sanders, who has been flagging in the polls lately, made an announcement that he will forgo living in the luxurious White House quarters provided for Presidents if he is elected.

"I'm building a classic Vermont cabin on The Ellipse to be used as my quarters during the time I am in office. It will be a temporary installation that can be removed at the end of my second term," Sanders told this reporter in a private interview. "I just wouldn't be comfortable in that big old rambling place, frankly. It's just not my style."

When asked what the White House's function would be during his Presidency, he said, "Well, it would make an nice roomy homeless shelter, I think. Maybe we'll do that."

Is this a bid to cast himself as a simple man of the people, as one supporter close to the #feeltheBern organization claimed, or some sort of publicity stunt? The campaign is getting curiouser and curiouser.

When asked what this "Vermont Cabin" will look like, candidate Sanders handed this reporter a photo:



Keep an eye on NYSB for updates on this and other fascinating Campaign 2016 news.

1. LOL

In my opinion that's an upgrade.

[riversedge]

2. Ah, part of his austerity movement. well done.

[Thinkingabout]

3. A sugar shack, huh.

[NCTraveler]

4. I hear the bake/cookie sales are going to be out of this world. nt.

[MineralMan]

5. Jugs of Vermont Maple Syrup will also

be available, I'm sure, for guests who drop by and to give away during state visits. The gold-leafed Presidential Seal will make those very collectible.

10. Just as long as Rick Perry doesn't get any. Syrup makes him loopy

[msongs]

7. now that he is running for president he is suddenly full of good ideas and legislation. cute cabin

[MineralMan]

8. It is a nice little place.

They'll need about three cords of hard maple, though, to heat it during the Winter. Looks a little drafty to me.

[MineralMan]

9. Looks like word is getting out about the shelter thing.

The line's already forming:

[restorefreedom]

11. i know this is satire, but

the fact that this website picked bernie for this "article" says something good about him. people believe he could do it.

its a compliment.

[MineralMan]

15. It does sound like something he might do,

doesn't it?

[restorefreedom]

17. yup, i could see him and jane doing that. nt

[Matariki]

12. Is this a joke?

[MineralMan]

14. Does it seem funny to you?

Did you laugh?

[Matariki]

18. I was alarmed!!

[aidbo]

16. Yes it is a joke. Website kinda like the onion.

Here's an "article" about Hillary dropping out from the same site.

In the early 1920s, automobile ownership was starting to increase among the American public, in part because of the marketing tactics of some of the men in the 1924 photo. Seated from left to right are Harvey Firestone (yes, that Firestone), Calvin Coolidge, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Grace Coolidge, and John Calvin Coolidge, Sr. Standing behind Mrs. Coolidge is Russell Firestone.

For the past 10 years, Edison, Ford, and the Firestones had been taking camping trips across the country to publicize recreational use of automobiles. During one such trip in August 1924, the industrial giants stopped at Plymouth to visit the president, and although they only stayed for an hour, the journalists covering the president’s vacation made the most of it, photographing the group in front of the Coolidge Homestead. While the guests were there, President Coolidge gave Henry Ford a gift: a sap bucket that had belonged to his great-great grandfather. He signed his name on the bottom of the bucket, which is what he appears to be doing in this photo....

24. See. There's a precedent

[bluedigger]

21. They don't have cabins in northern New England.

Cabins are for the hillbillies down south. Up north, they have camps.

[MADem]

25. This is true in Maine as well. But if you have a cabin/camp by the sea, it's a "cottage."

It doesn't matter if your "cottage" is a one room shack or a ten room manse, if you can get to the ocean in fifteen minutes or less, it's a cottage!

[bluedigger]

26. I'd be a millionaire a few times over, had I inherited my families' Maine camps.

Everyone sold out a few generations too soon.

[MADem]

27. There are still bargains to be found up that way, if you want to go far enough north...

You can get large tracts of property, some with homes on them, for a veritable song in Aroostook County.

Of course, they're not worth milions--that area has yet to be developed and has suffered economically since the Limestone AFB closed. It's a pristine place, though--if I were filming period movies, that's where i'd go--in the good weather, anyway.

22. That would lose Sanders the election...

...he would ruin softball in DC for years...

[bigwillq]

28. Lol. That would be so awesome. Lol
