Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was reportedly seen sleeping during the Donald Trump impeachment tria

[sheshe2]

This is one of the most important issues facing us today. We have moved to impeach the President of these United States. He is a traitor. Treasonous bastard who wishes to destroy us all.

I understand our candidates are exhausted. So is the American public. Our lives, our children's lives are at stake.

I understand that he has health issues, many of us do. He needs to remain awake at the wheel. He needs to steer our course with a steady hand and to be forever alert to the dangers that face us.

I expect the same of every candidate.

Before you ask.

1. He's 78 has had a heart attack and is burning the candle at both ends

[sheshe2]

14. His choice....

And the voters.

[MH1]

96. I would have more sympathy for a 78-year old sleeping during the crazy long Senate session

if he wasn't playing the games he's playing in the Dem prez primary.

He's a solid Senator, even if he nods off occasionally during an unnecessarily long session. But he should stick with that and not eff up our chances this year.

[Me.]

128. And Yet He Thinks He's Fit Enough To Be Prez

[NurseJackie]

190. I don't think he's fit enough...

... for one term, definitely not two.

[Me.]

191. Can You Imagine Him Falling Asleep At A Meeting Of The G7

and let's face it, the presidency ages everyone who serves, how much would it age his heart with stress beyond the 79 years he would be

[NCjack]

137. Not sleeping. Engaging in ancient art of inspecting the insides of his eyelids. nt

[Demsrule86]

2. Well since he will be flying back and forth to Iowa in order to campaign...he needs to keep up his

strength...in a private plane no less.

[thewhollytoast]

17. It's late maybe you should go to bed.

The world will still be here in the morning. We have a much larger fight to win.

"A friend is not a fellow that is taken in by sham. A friend is fellow that knows our faults and does not give a damn."

My personal wish; Bernie Sanders would make a great President for 4 years. Elizabeth Warren would be the best "two term president" ever.

toast

[secondwind]

49. I like how you think. Bravo

[Demsrule86]

63. First time a DUER tried to send me to my room.

[Demsrule86]

62. Maybe you should have gone to bed. Bernie is not my friend. I think Biden or

Warren would make a much better president...and i don't think Sanders can win...35 + state loss in the General. He has my vote in a General but not this or any other primary.

[Cha]

93. Maybe you should follow your

own advice.

[comradebillyboy]

3. Here is what you are looking for

[BeyondGeography]

67. If that's his VP and Treasury Sec'y Warren next to him, it's a representative snapshot

of how his presidency would work.

[getagrip_already]

76. the manspread is pretty aggressive there.....

The poor woman (not liz btw) next to him barely has any room

[zackymilly]

115. Maybe Bernie just has a huge pair. n/t

[getagrip_already]

118. They have a cure for that... n/t

[zackymilly]

119. He might not want a cure. n/t

[Blue_true]

186. Wow, what a contrast. That is Liz Warren sitting beside him listening and taking notes. nt

[David__77]

4. Fine by me.

...

[sheshe2]

5. ?

[revmclaren]

7. I know right!!!

This will be banner news tomorrow.

ONLY!!! 2020 and beyond

[revmclaren]

6. Really!!!

Wow!!!
If he can't handle sitting for the impeachment trial how the holy hell is he going to handle a serious crisis as president that might go for days or weeks at a time!!



ONLY!!! 2020 and beyond.

[sheshe2]

18. Ding ding ding

[NYMinute]

27. This!

[emmaverybo]

178. Yes. And he has no in-depth knowledge or experience to draw from in case of a crisis that

isn’t related to domestic economic policy.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

8. Absolutely.

[sheshe2]

19. What if it had been Hillary? nt

[Cha]

21. lol..

[Tiggeroshii]

38. I'd say she deserves it.

As does Bernie. They are among the hardest working folks I've seen and deserve to nap every once in a while.

[cwydro]

41. I never napped at work.

Ever.

[SunSeeker]

44. +1

[Tiggeroshii]

48. You've never done a 24-36 hour shift then

Many doctors may understand

[secondwind]

50. Amen!

I can’t believe what I’m reading on this thread!! Wow.

[George II]

58. Tuesday it was only 12 hours with breaks and Wednesday only 8-9 hours.

[Tiggeroshii]

101. Do you work ER?

My uncle does, and is the only doctor for a few days. Supposedly those shifts can be nasty.

[sheshe2]

122. Actually, he has. nt

[cwydro]

99. Oh, I've worked round the clock when I was younger.

I managed to stay awake.

[Tiggeroshii]

102. He's reaching 80. I'll cut him some slack.

[cwydro]

103. Hey, I agree with you.

My parents took lots of naps as they reached their 70s, then 80s...both intelligent active people.

No way could they have handled the reins of government. I’m sure they’d agree,

[Tiggeroshii]

104. I don't think needing a nap disqualifies you from public service.

Just me.

[cwydro]

113. I don't either.

But not at work.

[Tiggeroshii]

114. These doctors disagree. As do I.

[cwydro]

120. They are not working.

If they fell asleep while treating/operating on patients it would be a different thing.

Bernie is not a doctor anyway. Bernie really has probably not worked as hard as many of us here have in our lives.

Your love for him is impressive. I think I’m done here.

[Tiggeroshii]

121. Neither was bernie. He was clearly napping.

And both were getting paid for the time.

[sheshe2]

123. Bernie was doing the job we pay him for.

He was in the middle of an Impeachment Trial, not the middle of an Opertaion!

The Drs/Nurses you pictured were off duty for a short time AFTER COMPLETING THEIR JOB and not smack dab in the middle of it.

[Tiggeroshii]

149. So it is better to sleep during an operation?

[sheshe2]

151. You want to play games?

I don't.

We are done.

[Tiggeroshii]

155. ...

They were your words. Not mine...

[sheshe2]

156. Plus 1000

He/She completely, purposely ignored my words and twisted them.

Thanks for your post, cwydro.

[sheshe2]

147. He is running for President of the United States.

By your very words, he is nearing 80.

I will not cut him any slack. He is either up for the job, or he is not.

[ehrnst]

160. Many people his age do nap more. And Doctors recommend daytime naps for heart disease patients.

Last edited Fri Jan 24, 2020, 10:01 AM - Edit history (1)

A new study published in the journal Heart suggests a daytime nap taken once or twice per week may lower the risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a28981570/naps-prevent-heart-attack-stroke/

[sheshe2]

71. At work?

During the impeachment trial of the President of the United States? This has only happened four times in the history of our nation.

[Tiggeroshii]

106. I know doctors who nap at work.

There's nothing with higher gravity than peoples' lives, and sometimes you need it to afford the best mind.

https://www.boredpanda.com/medical-resident-sleeping-overworked-doctors-mexico-yo-tambien-mi-dormi/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic

[sheshe2]

111. Yes.

They have rooms where they can catch a few winks between patients and are on call. Lot's of nurses and doctors in my family. I am well aware of how that works. Bernie was in fact on the job, not on time out.

[treestar]

162. there is a difference between routine work

and something that should be exciting, like impeaching the POTUS, and that being the worst POTUS in history.

[R B Garr]

171. I don't see Bernie sleeping at his campaign rallies.

But he was sleeping in the Senate. Looks like he’s saving his energy for the campaign trail. He’s been campaigning for 5 years.

[BannonsLiver]

79. Is this satire?

[Tiggeroshii]

108. Do you think it is?

https://www.boredpanda.com/medical-resident-sleeping-overworked-doctors-mexico-yo-tambien-mi-dormi/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic

[sheshe2]

100. You do understand the gravity of these procedings, correct?

You do realize that this is the fourth ever impeachment trial for a US President. High crimes and misdemeanors, abuse of power and corruption.

PS...Manchin is in that third seat, he is alert, aware, book open and taking notes. He understands the gravity.

[Tiggeroshii]

107. Peoples' lives are still far a greater gravity than impeachment.

Yet it is also needed and common to nap.

https://www.boredpanda.com/medical-resident-sleeping-overworked-doctors-mexico-yo-tambien-mi-dormi/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic

[ehrnst]

173. Napping is especially important for an elderly man with heart disease.

https://www.ajmc.com/newsroom/napping-once-or-twice-weekly-linked-with-lower-risk-of-heart-attack-and-stroke

[NYMinute]

29. ...

[Cha]

11. Of course it is.

[trueblue2007]

43. fine by you? do you mean it is okay with you that he was asleep? if that is so, disgusting

he has a job to do. if he can't handle the job because of age, health issues..... WELL THEN HE SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
he should not even be a senator. maybe bernie should just retire.

[Tiggeroshii]

109. You think napping at work is disgusting?

Say that to these guys:

https://www.boredpanda.com/medical-resident-sleeping-overworked-doctors-mexico-yo-tambien-mi-dormi/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic

[trueblue2007]

130. they aren't senators. they don't represent our government

what the senators are doing right now is the single most i mportant task ever
it is n't nap time

[Tiggeroshii]

132. That isn't what you said.

And yes, Senators often work friggin hard too and deserve a nap every once in a while. Between campaigning and holding marathon sessions for impeachment, Bernie was not the only one napping.

[ehrnst]

174. Yes, especially an elderly man with heart disease.

[trueblue2007]

179. Yes, especially an elderly man with heart disease ... bad medical problems indeed

has no business running for the presidency. my opinion.

[George II]

57. Do you live in Vermont?

[calguy]

9. I'm no Bernie supporter and I'll give him a pass on this one

I confess that I fell asleep a few times myself trying watch the lengthy proceedings.

[sheshe2]

12. Are you a United States Senator?

Sworn to serve and protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States?

[Cha]

16. No offense but it's not your

job to stay awake during working hours as a US Senator.

[calguy]

89. Your point is well taken

Put me in the stand corrected category.

[Cha]

90. Thanks, calguy!

[sheshe2]

23. Sorry.

I am going to do a PS here.

He makes 175K with the sweetest health benefits that we the peeps pay for. If he is unable to do the job we pay him for then he needs to step down and let a younger one do their best to fill his shoes. He has done a lot of work. He needs to recognize the time he should step down and enjoy his retirement.

[ehrnst]

175. He would do well to retire and head up Our Revolution.

Presidents of ngo's have great pay, paid travel, and he can take another bow anywhere he goes to endorse someone.

It would be all the perks, but very little of the stress that a career on Capitol Hill involves.

[Sloumeau]

10. Let Bernie rest and save his strength.

After all, Iowa will be such a bummer for him.

[sheshe2]

20. *snort*

[Thekaspervote]

54. 2 snorts...no 3!

[Cha]

13. Couldn't he sleep on the "private jet"?

[sheshe2]

15. Dunno, Cha.

I am sure he will rest up there as well.

Mom goes to bed at nine, sleeps till nine eats breakfast then naps an hour later. Granted she is 93, Cha. She is not that much older than he is.

[Cha]

22. IMO.. it would have been better to sleep when Not

on the clock.. especially something as important as the Senate IMPEACHMENT Hearings!

[sheshe2]

24. My point exactly.

[zackymilly]

116. He's the pilot. n/t

[YOHABLO]

25. You people won't give this man a break will you.

He's a U.S. senator, he's also running a national campaign. That's hard on anyone at any age. You can pay attention and still close your eyes. By the way, Bernie is not the one who needs convincing, it's the Republicans.

[sheshe2]

26. You people?

I am a Democrat. I have voted Democratic my whole life.

My eyes are wide open.

[Big Chief]

46. Too bad you can't say the same

About Warren...

[BooScout]

60. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Like you can say that about Sanders?

[stonecutter357]

82. lol

[ehrnst]

161. Since you went there... Warren serves as a Democratic Senator.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Tuesday night that he still does not consider himself a Democrat despite taking part in a Democratic National Committee (DNC) unity tour with the party's new chairman, Tom Perez.

"No, I'm an Independent," Sanders said when asked by MSNBC's Chris Hayes whether he now identifies as a Democrat.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/329418-sanders-i-do-not-consider-myself-a-democrat

[SidDithers]

177. He's dead, Jim...

Sid

[ehrnst]

183. Ohhhhhh....

My condolences.

[NYMinute]

30. He can always resign, go home to one of his three mansions and rest

As long as we the people are paying for his salary and benefits, we demand that he stay awake and do his job.

No campaign excuse. Presidnetial campaign is an elective - he doesn't have to be a candidate.

[Cha]

34. "You people"?! This is the primary.. Not

everyone is supporting BS. Check the top of the page.

This is Vetting Season.. anyone giving Biden a break who isn't a supporter or an ally?

[m-lekktor]

55. Eh, let them be petty. They are getting nervous because Bernie is doing so well.

[Cha]

92. "petty"? To stay Awake on the job?

[Scurrilous]

135. "Bernie is doing so well..." Is that the spin?

From when he topped a single national poll. Four more have come out since then with Biden ahead.

And Biden is ahead in Iowa, Arizona, and S. Carolina. And less than 2% behind in NH. That's 3 out of the first 4.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-primary-d/national/


Be petty. OK. To Bernie's poll numbers:

[squirecam]

73. Bernie is last

On my list. But I think this is overblown.

Is the outcome of this trial in doubt?

Did Bernie miss some crucial evidence because he was napping?

This whole trial is a sham proceeding.

[treestar]

163. you people will let him get away with anything

what if Biden did that?

[R B Garr]

28. Sleepy Bernie! Trump could swap Joe's nickname with an

actual picture of Bernie sleeping, lol.

This man has been running for President for 5 years. Nice to see him in the Senate for a change...oops.

Funny thread, she.

[NYMinute]

31. God forbid if Bernie becomes the nominee

Trump will have an entire commercial with footage of Bernie snoring. It will end with "We don't want a president who sleeps on the job."

[R B Garr]

33. Exactly...!

Then there is a footage of him asking for a chair when he was having chest pains. He needs rest!

[Cha]

35. lol.. bet trump won't say that.

[R B Garr]

36. Maybe not during the primaries. Trump is very concerned

about Bernie, awww.

[Cha]

40. right.. the primaries. trump is very

selective with whom he insults during the primaries.. and whom he protects.

[sheshe2]

74. Thanks 😊

[NCProgressive]

32. I'd be fired if I was caught sleeping on the job - especially an important project.

[chwaliszewski]

37. I'm going to go out on a limb here...

and say that I believe anybody who has a major problem with this probably wouldn't have voted for him in the primary election anyway. However, continue to clutch your pearls.

[Tiggeroshii]

39. +10,000

[Skittles]

42. what part of most of us would be fired for sleeping on the job do you not get?

oh, that's right, NEVER MIND

[chwaliszewski]

51. Your condescension is callow and unnecessary.

However, if it makes you feel superior somehow, then by all means...

[Skittles]

53. LOLOL

[chwaliszewski]

70. Welcome to ignore, Skittles.

[Skittles]

97. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[sheshe2]

75. Remember when Hillary collapsed?

[ehrnst]

176. Indeed. (nt)

[stopdiggin]

45. was he snoring?

I've laid in to the candidate a few times when I thought it was deserved. THIS on the other hand is childish nonsense. On a scale of 1 to 10 .. this one rates a nothing.

[chwaliszewski]

52. Exactly.

[Squinch]

105. No. This is a presidential impeachment. ALL of the Senators snoozing or doing crosswords or

in any way not paying attention are not doing their jobs.

This is one of the most historically important events of ANY of their tenures. The absolute LEAST they should be doing is paying attention.

[stopdiggin]

140. Oh, please

this over the top case of histronics is almost entirely about an excuse to take a(nother) shot at Sanders.
The imagined possible offense here means less than nothing. But, please .. sing us another lecture on "history" and "Constitution" and "gravitas" ... As if that were the point of this string.

[Squinch]

169. Apparently you don't take the impeachment of a President seriously. Some of us do.

If you think that is histrionics, that's more a reflection of you and your bias than anything else.

Seriously, this scoffing at the importance of this, your placing of quotes around Constitution and gravitas, is stunningly ignorant.

Just because it was your savior doing it, it doesn't mean it was right.

[stopdiggin]

172. I can in no way be described as a Sanders supporter

or apologist. And my original post said that quite specifically. The fact that you interpret my comments as providing cover for "your savior" .. illustrates exactly what this string is all about. And thank you for sharing that naked partisanship so clearly and openly.

[Squinch]

180. Oh, good. In your mind, all your points are made. Enjoy.

[Don1]

56. I fell asleep too

And i had the luxury of coffee which was not present in the chamber for some reason.

When Moscow Mitch allows new documents and witnesses, then it will be way more meaningful.

Also...some people were passing notes. And chewing gum.

You can get detention for that!

[Cha]

91. So? You're not a US Senator whose job

it is to stay awake.

[Don1]

136. I'm a citizen

Whose job it is to be informed.

Just like it's the Senators' jobs to be informed.

I watched the House hearings. If I snoozed during a House manager summarizing that for a minute, I've missed nothing meaningful.

Additionally:
In Sanders' case, we don't see his eyes to know he's asleep, we don't know if they are returning from break, the person next to him isn't there. But apparently he's guilty until proven innocent.

Guilty of what? Possibly dozing off while hearing something he already knew. Possibly.

Cameras and electronic devices are illegal in the chamber. Who took this picture or was it allowed during break?

[Cha]

138. Not a US Senator whose job

it is to at least stay awake.

[Don1]

141. Didn't Answer My Questions

Are his eyes open or not?

An artist had to draw a picture of a Republican Senator because no cameras are allowed.

Was a camera allowed because they were coming back from break?

Who took this picture, what day, what time?

I will add that no, I wouldn't think this is a big deal even if true,
dozing off after 12 hours (allegedly) when listening to something you already know.

Chinese laborers working 16 hours a day manufacturing keyboards get docked for bathroom breaks, too. Is your answer, "they need to do their job?" If Mitch McConnell was forcing people to work all night and removing the coffee, then it makes sense to take a snooze during break, or it's understandable if someone dozes off briefly (allegedly).

Bernie's JOB is to be informed, which he is, and vote the right way, which he does. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 0.2, if it's anything at all.

As an undecided voter, it doesn't tell me good things that someone who claims you have to pay attention and follow rules brought a camera and took a picture of an ally to attack them instead of dealing with Republicans or watching the alleged arguments being discussed, if they were even being discussed.

Where's the proof?

[Cha]

142. Senator Sanders needs to stay awake on the job..

That's why they get paid.

[Don1]

143. Didn't Answer My Questions

People get paid to pay attention when not on break.

What time was it?

Why did someone not pay attention, stand up with a camera? It was a break, wasn't it?

[Cha]

144. I've made my statement. It's simple.. BS needs to

stay awake on the job.. I don't think that's too much to ask.

[Don1]

150. I've read your accusation but you couldn't answer the questions

The accusations are well-timed and simplistic.

People in this country are innocent until proven guilty.

Were Bernie's eyes open or closed?

Cameras are disallowed.

Did someone take a picture
1. During break?
Or 2. During the time they were supposed to be doing their job?

Who did it? When? What time? How is it logically possible to stand up to take a picture in a room full of working people with a judge looking on?

Why not take a picture of his face?

This happened when people were returning from break, right?

Right?

Even if he dozed off for a moment during something he already heard I don't care. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 0.2.

But your posts haven't established that at all.

This looks much more like a hit job.

You know it, right?

[Mike Nelson]

59. I think he was probably...

... tired. I don't know how these candidates do it... even traveling first class, and with help, the schedule is physically very demanding. I don't think I could hold up any better!

[kacekwl]

61. OH MY GOD

[samnsara]

64. at least he didnt go out and give an interview ..hell I'd try to sneak in a nap too..

..hes heard all the testimony from our side. I want him wide awake and rested for the 'other side's jabbering..

[methinks2]

65. Same thing happened

Same thing happened when I tried to watch. Perhaps it was boring. I blame the speaker for failing to capture my interest.

[BannonsLiver]

80. There's always The Voice or The Kardashians.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

66. No matter who you support and no matter any mitigating circumstances, it's a bad look.

[zackymilly]

117. Maybe he was praying.

[dsc]

68. How can we excoriate the GOP for not paying attention

if Democrats aren't? Honestly I get some of the arguments on this thread. Frankly I think there should be 15 minute breaks every couple of hours, the day should be limited to 8 hours total, it should be starting at a reasonable time. But that said, the bottom line is we can't complain about the GOP sleeping if Dems are sleeping.

[Autumn]

69. That's fine by me.

Bernie is well aware of what Trump is and he knows all the evidence that has been presented. He's more awake than most that sit in that chamber. This twitter out to be spending time writing and complaining about the 12 fucking Republicans that walked out of the trial. People's priorities are all fucked up when they complain about a Democratic candidate nodding off instead of what the fucking Republicans are doing. But anything to get a shot in.

[sheshe2]

98. Hmmm.

Bernie is well aware of what Trump is and he knows all the evidence that has been presented.

You know this how?

He's more awake than most that sit in that chamber.

[Autumn]

139. Hmmm.

[sheshe2]

145. No answer.

Got it.

[Autumn]

170. Yep, that's a fact. No answer. Just your usual Hmmm, and a copy and paste of my words

Hmmm,

No answer.

Got it.

such a titillating conversation But I think it's exhausted.

[MrsCoffee]

72. Bernie certainly looks like he could use a nap these days.

I though he was supposed to be stronger and more energetic now. Wasn’t that the spin on his health?

[getagrip_already]

78. Naps for Bernie!

#napsforbernie

It would make a pretty good childrens book. "But I don't WANT a nap!".... It could almost write itself.

[BannonsLiver]

81. If Biden has done this while in the senate in the same scenario

Last edited Thu Jan 23, 2020, 04:18 PM - Edit history (1)

He would be eviscerated by Sanders supporters and others.

[Cha]

94. No kidding.

[treestar]

165. +1

[Hortensis]

184. Yes, but wouldn't they all be at fault?

Cut these guys a break.

The Republicans who are shockingly and despicably learning much of this for the first time -- when they don't refuse to listen -- are very different from those who are already informed. And I won't bash old men who've been working like dogs for napping as the legal case is laid out for several hours.

Sanders gets a complete pass from me for this nonsense.

[snowybirdie]

83. First thing I saw

in the picture was an empty Democratic seat next to him AND cameras were not allowed. Are we sure this was taken at the trial? Silly posting.

[Don1]

86. No, we're not

Electronic devices are not allowed either. Maybe allowed during break or at the end of break when people are mostly back in? So who took the pic? How? What day and time? Was it during a break?

[boomer_wv]

84. I mentioned

In another thread that Bernie was probably going to get caught on camera sleeping at the trial. Nailed it.

Hard to believe hes taking his duties as a senator seriously when hes sleeping. Pretty disrespectful to the whole process and the House Managers.

[totodeinhere]

85. Bernie has a brutal schedule that would probably wear down a lot of people

half his age. So I don't blame him if he wants to catch a few extra winks during the trial. He has staff that can fill him in if he misses anything.

[The Valley Below]

87. Uh, we've seen the quality of people Sanders surrounds himself with.

That they are going to "fill him in" after he sleeps though the trial is a positively terrifying thought, in my estimation.

[Jose Garcia]

88. Give the guy a break! He's 78 years old and recently had a heart attack

[Me.]

129. Yet He Thinks He's Up To The Job Of Prez

which will be a lot more tiring/stressing than spending an entire 12 hours sitting. Time for a reality check.

[Blue_Tires]

95. holy damn...

[Tarheel_Dem]

110. I guess like the whole Russia thing, Trump's impeachment just doesn't bother BS that much?

[sheshe2]

112. Hmmmm.

[Scurrilous]

124. Uh oh...I think Bernie just go tagged.

127. Why would someone derisively call him that?

On a scale of 1 to 10 that's about a 6 compared to the stuff out there. Play the savior and this happens.

131. Joe Biden was caught sleeping a couple of times during President Obama's speeches. nt

134. Link?

Fact is Sanders was at the Impeachment trial of the President of the UNITED STATES. Fourth one ever in our long history. He was a member of the jury and zoned out for a bit. He is a Senator, whose salary is paid for by we the people and we the people expect them to do their jobs. We know the GOP won't defend the Constitution, we expect ours to. One must be awake to do just that.

148. That was an impeachment trial?

Some here do not understand the gravity of this Impeachment trial or the crimes that have been committed by this sitting President. Some do not seem to know that he has broken the law and his oath of office. He has alienated our allies and made America less safe. He is caging children, babies, mothers and fathers that are dying in the for profit detention centers he and his buddies set up.

He is pimping out our service men and women to other abusive countries, ie Saudi that murdered a reporter and helped cover it up. He boasted in an interview he received, HE received a huge check for that. I am appalled that you are not appalled that Russia hacked our elections 2016 and will attempt a second round in 2020. I am appalled that you make it about Sanders and not this country.

As much as I like Warren, she does not have my undying love. I will vote for whoever can win. I will vote blue. We need to correct this and my feelings, this is our last chance.

152. I thought "link?" might have meant you wanted a link, which I gave.

I think that was a reasonable conclusion.

By the way, I think Elizabeth Warren has some great policy ideas, and I can appreciate support of her.

187. That doesn't appear to be dozing to me.

When a person dozes, they lose muscle control. If he was sleeping, his head would be bouncing a lot, it was steady. Also, he had his hands clasped and his fingers were moving in a pattern that shows that he was making them move, the hands being clasped and fingers moving per direction both say that he was alert.

There have been times when I have closed my eyes in contemplation. The body stays steady and muscle action is instructed, all of which Biden was showing and Bernie showed none of that (Senator Sanders was sprawled as if needing a bed).

189. Whatever. nt

[treestar]

164. and I bet a big deal was made of it

Obama has a sonorous voice that might well relax a person. As if often said, we felt safe.

166. Not an Impeachment trial.. to get rid of the Asshole

Monster in the WH.

185. The Senators who were standing at the back of the room know a trick.

I have been in droves of dull technical meetings. The trick is to stand or have a chair that flexes so that you can move. Standing and rocking gently from foot to foot, or moving while sitting causes blood to flow faster, keeping a person awake.

Drinking a cold liquid also keeps a person alert because the body reacts to the cold hitting the stomach by increasing blood flow.

192. It seems like a lot of senators are

They just have to sit there for hours and can't say anything and from what I've read a lot of senators are falling asleep or getting stir crazy. This is a stupid thing to make an issue out of.
