Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy
How dare CBS persecute our Dear Leader by telling the truth about him for everyone to see. Disgraceful.
Trump is such a dainty snowflake ❄️.
Stating facts won't stop Trump. Criticising Trump won't stop Trump. Refusing to Work for Trump will stop Trump.
The founding fathers absolutely felt there was a right to criticize government cffad.org/free-to-crit...
Not for much longer!
I still don’t understand how and why this new government is taking things to this length fr I hope it doesn’t get too wild 😥
Too late.
The answer is simple, a senile, thin skinned, tantrum throwing narcissist, convicted criminal, who cheats at games and tests, with terrible trashy taste in food and home decor, was put in the WhiteHouse again
I hate to surprise you like this, Bernie... But USA is no longer a democracy. It is a fascist cleptocracy with a "president", who breaks the law every day. With a cabinet, who breaks the law every single, fucking day! With a Congress, where the majority is co-conspirators! Democracy - not so much!!!
Bernie is on fire.
The grand experiment set forth by our founding fathers died the day #TraitorTrump took office
'Red hat' and 'hatred'. Since Trump arrived on the scene they're one and the same. Well, the one thing in our favor is that the 'mark of the beast' is easily identifiable. #redhat #hatred #markofthebeast #trump
#Truth!
Poor Barry is still living the dream we still have a democracy. That is over. We need another plan.
“Politics ain’t beanbag.” John McCain (although he took it from a fictional Chicago character, Mr. Dooley)
Trump doesn't like it when a news network tells the truth.
💯💯‼️😖 He wants state-controlled propaganda media only.
FOX, Newsmax, ONN, for example.
Or any other leadership roll
Thank you Bernie Sanders for being our voice! Let’s get the MAGAts out of our democracy!
“This is a democracy” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 you people are delusional. None of your institutions work anymore and he doesn’t plan on living the WH, ever. You are living in full dictatorship and experiencing what your government did to many other countries throughout history. Enjoy.
I guess it's a good thing they don't want to touch our second amendment so we can defend our first amendment. Hasn't that always been the far right argument anyway? The irony.
We knew he would be like this is mean right???
Trump should be euthanized to save us from his misery.
Fucking thin-skinned baby.
Was
I ♥️ Bernie, but America was a Democracy. It won't ever be a Democracy again until corporate and dark money is taken out of campaign fundraising.
He’s in bad shape if he can’t handle criticism. The rest of the world just might have some!!!
#StillSanders ❤️
And that's is what we are fighting for: our freedoms our democracy!
Trump regards any criticism as an assault because his ego is very fragile. He is dangerous when he is confronted about anything and lashes back.
The 'conscience' of America. 😎
Uhm, Correction, since trump is in office it is a dictatorship. 51% of voting America has made sure that american democracy is disappearing at a murderous pace. dear americans, ‘save your democracy and stand up’.
I have designed a poster in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If you would like a print file of it to print out and display in your window or use at a protest (or whatever else), please message me. : )

Oh Bernie! I was starting to have faith in you. Please don't let any media upset you. Who cares what the say! As long as you know the truth and the people that show up to your speeches. Who cares about CBS, MSN CNN on and on.
Bernie is cooking 🧑🍳
and they call us snowflakes ❄️
I'm watching this now . Excellent show CBS .
Correction - this WAS a democracy.
Why were the women with the Free Palestine flag detained by police???
Rock on @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social
April 19th! Find a way to your local protests! The time in now! Later will be to late!!
The Honorable Sen Bernie Sanders from the great state of Vermont
Autocracy, loud and clear. #resistfascism
<1> This was a democracy, until yesterday when our Greatest President, Donald J. Trump, freed himself from that and joyfully announced that he is superior to the Supreme Court (should that still be capitalized?). The decision of American voters to give MAGAs control of both Houses of Congress ...
<2> assured that the Founding Fathers' system of checks and balances is illusory since there is nothing the Greatest President could do that would cause them to impeach and remove him.
CBS needs to walk away from its planned merger/acquisition as it will be used against them to get obedience, its approval will require them to give him their network
Again: CBS doesn't have or need a license. The individual CBS-affiliated broadcast stations have licenses, not the network. Just one more thing that Trump doesn't seem to understand.
Yes but isn’t the issue that CBS wants to sell and that needs approval.
Be that as it may, Trump keeps saying that he wants CBS to "lose its license." There is no license.
He’s says a lot. 😅
It used to be a democracy
APRIL 19th is our next Nationwide Protest. We did great the first time! We MUST to do even better this time! We WILL resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.
The Trump 2025 Revenge and Retribution tour continues.
50.2% of those who voted were in effect criticizing King Midas. If he didn’t like criticism, he wouldn’t say and do SO many moronic things. He loves it!
"A man-child who refuses to grow up, take responsibility, and face life's challenges, expects other people, typically his parents, to solve all his problems. Since he lacks zest for learning, he never develops a proper understanding of anything".
All the stuff that was written into the American constitution was put there to protect the country against exactly what Trump is getting away with right now - I guess it won’t work when a majority in the House and the Senate are corrupted and ignoring it and also the Supreme Court.
I ain't religious, but dammit AMEN brother 🙌
Now THAT, is sarcasm.😂🤣😂🤣
Trump now suing 60 Minutes for this story! youtu.be/odFTqgm0984?...
They better not cave or settle.
They’re getting donations, so hopefully that will help 🤞
CBS reported the truth! If Trump felt criticized, that's too bad for him.
*was
Democracy? No it isn't. Not anymore. The proof is in the pudding: there is only one kind of politician who is prepared to inflict this much pain and misery upon his own people: The politician who knows he will never again have to bother about being re-elected.
Dear Leader is going to have such hurt feelings 😢

Maybe if he would stop doing the illegal unconstitutional and just plain shitty things that deserve criticizing, they wouldn’t criticize him. DUH!
*was* a democracy
Sanders' criticisms no doubt drive Trump around the bend, but Trump can't do a thing about it...
Trump is the Snowflake in Chief!
He had better NOT! ENOUGH! Getting very tired of his cheating ways.
We got there EARLY today, but with many thousands ahead of us we couldn't get in. The car parks were full and closed off, so we left for beers and dinner at a local restaurant. So, now having seen the video, AOC and Bernie hit many nails on the head with 12,000 plus people reacting positively.
It’s from the Putin playbook. Before Putin was President there were many independent press outlets. When the Kursk disaster happened Putin blamed the media for lies (fake news), he then systematically closed each one and only Fox (State) News remain.
Sorry Bernie, that ship has sailed.
He’s so stupid
The bravest man in America. Be safe.
I don’t think you have a democracy anymore. You’re being ruled by an authoritarian.
How long before you're ot a democracy anymore? If he does this, who is next? Honestly, both the soccer World Cup and the Olympic should be moved out of dictatorship 💔😢
The regime is trying their absolute best to silence 'free speech' and silence the 'freedom of the press'. By silence, I mean imprison. By imprison, I mean Cecot in El Salvador.
Expose them all Turn the Tide against DT
A narcissistic, convicted felon, masquerading as a leader who slanders, attacks & threatens everyone who doesn’t treat him like the “G-d” he thinks he is, has a very thin skin-the veneer that he thinks covers his many real, hideous “attributes”. Like the Wizard of Oz, he exposes what he really is.
bernie is that guy
#1stanner
If he can’t take criticism, then he should get out of politics or even life
Freedom of speech
Like the pro Palestinian protestors he kicked out of his rally. What a joke.
PREACH
An 83 year old man putting democracy on his back.
People are seriously coming out in droves to hear Bernie and AOC speak - And Speak they are - Great Job to both of you, telling the truth and letting people hear what is truly going on - Is the best way forward - We have to March towards the WH arm-in-arm being united against Trump's adminastration
Not for long if he's allowed to continue down this path.
Go get 'em Bernie!
I think they are going to regret calling the left woke. People are really waking up.
Pairs will with wanting more fucking concentration camps in El Salvador
Destroying a free press is a favorite dictator tactic - Senator John McCain knew that, years ago... www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...
Everyone sees where this is going right?
So, when Trump calls media corps like CNN & CBS & ABC “failing networks”-he hopes less Americans watch their programming. You see-CBS has an enormous power to reach people. Just as our individual voices do ! They want to silence us -SO Mark your calendar-April 19 is Protest Day! Your voice matters!
We all know he and his men and women hate democracy. Think about it. And this:
Bernie has more 🔥🔥🔥 in him than most people half his age. He is a legend!
WAS A DEMOCRACY, currently it can't be classed as one since a lawless fascist regime is disappearing people off the street, work places and homes, based on zero evidence of any crimes, then either detaining them with no due process to deport them out of America or to El Salvador. Democracy is dead.
*was
Nobody is fighting back. Media, Law Firms, Judges… nobody is fighting! WTF is going on??!
😂 What a snowflake 😂
Even as they work hard to make it not so they will still claim it. So to define democracy as not what they are doing you are challenging them. To agree that they are an authoritarian kleptocracy is to normalize it and give them permission.
Bernie you had me years ago but this is why I will follow you to the ends !!! Preach and if you can get 20,000 in Utah you can help right this ship !! In Bernie we trust ! Also AOC did awesome ! Thank you for helping us fight back!We have to flip some republicans McCain would if he was still here.
💙Bernie!
Truthfully, they didn't criticize him. They merely played the video of what he actually said.
Donnie Dollhands is a huge pussy, keep taking about him like this if you wanna win
It was. Right up until January 20, 2025.
Bernie, its not a democracy anymore.
All in for Bernie. Always.💙💙💙
Trump's a pussy.
If you think being held accountable by the press is unfair, politics might not be your calling. This isn’t a palace — it’s a democracy. Criticism isn’t cruelty, it’s the cost of power. If CBS rattles you, imagine handling a constitutional crisis.
I was never on the Bernie bandwagon. Now, I'm seeing him do what ALL the other elected officials should be out doing. Bernie, has balls. And my respect.
Amen
Bring it Bernie!
Trump baby is temper tantruming again.
Trump’s feeling were hurt like some kind of spoiled brat
He's a fucking spoiled toddler in a wet diaper. HE MUST GO!
"This is a democracy"... Is it though? It was.
CBS doesn’t have a FCC license. The media should report that little fact.
The FCC needs to quietly grant it to them so they have something to noisily revoke! 😆
Quote from the FCC: 'We do not license TV or radio networks (such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, etc.), except as owners of particular stations.' CBS produces content. Stations licensed by the FCC air that content. The media don't need to report facts that even small children can Google.
Well apparently we have a 78YO adult male as President. Who doesn’t know how to Goggle. So the media should we us informed of the facts.
You neither know how to Google, nor spell, so thank all the gods you're not in charge.
It proves that even small children can’t Goggle.
I ♥️ Bernie!!!!
Dear Bernie instead of bashing DJT(we know he’s a bad hombre’)can U do this? It’s imperative to register to 🗳️! Check your status! VOTE up/down ballot. Vote for HR/Senate! People who make laws & elect people to implement them, especially SCJ! 🛑 one🗳️ issues, only me issues! 🗳️💙 in 26/28 for democracy!
This is clearly a case of blatant abuse of power
He wrote another wise one as well. “It is difficult to free people from the chains they revere.” That's MAGA for you.
It's not a quote by Voltaire! Actually this is a famous misattribution "as a quote by Kevin Alfred Strom." www.reuters.com/article/fact...
Voltaire - It is difficult to free fools from the chains... It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere. Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
"Le dîner du comte de Boulainvilliers: Troisième Entretien". Book by Voltaire, 1767.
“People crushed by law, have no hopes but from power. If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to laws; and those who have much to hope and nothing to lose, will always be dangerous...“ Edmund Burke, Letter to Charles James Fox (8 October 1777 The ellipsis is mine ;)
That was not the quote I quoted. Your quote is “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize,” I didn't quote that. Go back and check.
Sorry but my reply was to the post above. As is clear from the rebuttal linky. But profound apologies for any confusion.
That's fine. I was worried too about the first attribution. Not words Voltaire would use in the 18th century. Got me looking to find out what it was originally from too. Reference librarians never end researching! 👍❤️
My reference was about the new "Rulers" we have, not the attribution of who said it, originally. Should I crop out 'Voltaire'?
I wish Bluesky had an edit button too! I don't think it's possible. Never mind, it was an apt quote anyway. The trouble is, is that the people here are much more educated than that there other lot on X and like to show it, so someone was happy. Excuse my grammar! 😜❤️🍀
😀💯👌

I love the middle finger that flies up midway through 😆. The universal sign for "you've been criticized...deal with it". This is what democracy looks like!
King Donald the Mad is a bit touchy
Bernie, you look like halitosis incarnate. You’re 83, spout the same (incorrect) stats you’ve always spouted and you’re not helping craft any strategy or plan with Democrats, just doing the politician’s version of shit posting.
I never thought I’d love Bernie as much as I do!
This is in my red state of Idaho! Wonderful turnout
Will it change anything in the way they vote?
I'm seeing attendance numbers that suggest this is over 10% of the population in Nampa. That sounds mind-blowing!
Well, it was a lot of Boise and Meridian, maybe a little bit of Nampa
Great to see it! Way to go Idaho.
CBS isn’t “licensed” by anyone. Individual stations are licensed by the FCC. That being said, the Trump regime can make life miserable for the corporation and its officers.
Sanders is a treasure. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1
I'm so glad to hear Bernie Sanders say that this is a Democracy! I still believe that this is a Democracy that we all have to fight for.
Taking a license from a publisher is exactly what Putin did when he took power. He raided the publisher, fired everyone who spoke against him, installed puppets and turned it into a media channel that glorifies him daily.
This is exactly where trump's "fake news" shtick came from in the 90's. When he was being interviewed in the 90's about his businesses failures, he called the media, fake news. It has never had anything to do with truth. Just criticism.
Only it's not a democracy anymore and there are no braves left in the former HOME OF THE BRAVE!!!
I don't think it is anymore.
Hear. Hear.
Bernie!! Bernie!!
What he said!
He’s a fragile, mentally impaired, moron.
Reporting the facts is a high crime against the demented president.
Unfortunately until these crowds hit the streets, and drag Trump and his gang out and toss them in the Bay, nothing will change. They arent even listening to the Highest court. The ones they put in! A revolution sadly always ends up with war
That is NOT mission impossible 🤞
Trump dosen't believe in democracy, he is trying to emulate his mentors Putin and Xi👍
love you Bernie!
Here orange 🍊 turd 💩
Trump is a snowflake
Snowflake
Harry Truman said it best. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
Sanders seems to be the only Dem shouting out loud enough to reach US and international audiences. In any other 'democracy' where there is inevitably going to be a leadership contest of sorts, every contender would be screaming at the World how appalling the US administration is behaving.
He's not a Dem. He's independent.
I know, it was meant as a leaning rather than political party. The other words that are used to describe the same leaning are too triggering for some!
It's tempting to wonder how the US might look now if the DNC hadn't blocked Bernie's clear path to power in 2016 and 2020. I rate the DNC as perhaps the most malevolent organisation on earth. At least the GOP's corruption is proudly out in the open.
It's astonishing, isn't it.
This petition addresses what you said. It’s TO the Dem Congress with a whole list of things they can do to combat trumps desire for state run media (sample below of what’s in it). Please join us! www.change.org/ProtectDemoc...
And it's most interesting that Bernie is an Independent. AOC and some others are also speaking out, but they need to do more than speak. They need to ACT. Donate only to those DEMS (and Repubs if they get on board and decide to defend the Constitution) who do.
There are others like Gov Walz, Swalwell, Garcia, etc holding town halls in red districts that had close wins. That’s something Dem Reps are doing in larger numbers. But MSM doesn’t cover any of it, including Bernie’s. Have to go to MeidasTouch, PBS, BBC, independent sources
#trumpisweak
Why the Democrats went for Clinton/Biden over Sanders I will never know. Huge own goal.
Corruption
Whilst I understand why you'd think that I'm not sure I agree. I think it's more trying to use a candidate that will appeal to more people politically centered, Sanders, especially in the US is seen as very left wing, which does put people off voting. I don't agree with them, but understand.
Interesting, and yet batshit right wing candidate for republicans is AOK, no 'centrism' needed
And as sad as this is to admit, voters are often sold by who shouts the loudest, rather than who has the facts, hence Trump's popularity. Something democracy doesn't account for is someone's ability to lie.
“It is difficult to free people from the chains they revere.” Voltaire.
Unfortunately center right and right wing votes are usually easier to get given the right leaning nature of the country (not just a US problem). Going from right to very left is more difficult to argue than going slightly further right.
😫😫😫🤡
Tell em Bernie!! 🇺🇸🗽💙🇺🇸🗽💙
Where are the rest of the Dems and the few sane Republicans?! WHy aren't they out there screaming this from the rooftops?!?!?
this sane republican says -see you on saturday at Reid park?
I've given this some thought, and I think it's because deep down Trump is just a pussy.
Go Bernie, go!! Love it
not anymore it's not.
God bless him, at his age this campaign must be hard on him but he keeps going (like he believes in the cause).
A narcissist who wore heavy makeup, suffered from mental issues and eventually went crazy.
So, he deserves a closer look - and maybe not the mocking so many Americans give him. He was far from perfect (being a king and all) but hardly the bloodthirsty, autocratic tyrant painted by our history books.
Geo III was deeply traumatized by the deaths his youngest children, and suffered (most likely) from bipolar disorder + liver disorder porphyria (caused by ingestion of arsenic, use of which was widespread). He was also an abolitionist, and a victim of a smear campaign by the Victorians.
It was a democracy, now it’s becoming a dictatorship. Wake up America.
"was" a democracy
Sorry, I'm not ready to give up yet....
Hey, I really hope you don't. As an outsider, we're not seeing much in the way of pushback at all. I've seen the "Hands Off" demonstration and I've seen some politicians say some stuff, but he's actively ignoring Supreme Court orders and everyone just seems to be shrugging and saying "Ermm well. . "
Trump is the biggest "snowflake" and the biggest baby, he can't even handle a little minor criticism from CBS.
Time for a #GeneralStrike
This is Democracy and thin-skinned people are supposed to be chewed up and spit out. As distasteful as this fat orange man is, people are still swallowing all his bullshit.
Likely CBS execs voted for 💩. FAFO.
Bernie may be our Cato. He’s much older, but Cato, despite being young, was a grouchy old man at heart.
I am still waiting for the medical report from his physical on Friday, noting that he has “the thinnest skin of any human that has ever walked the Earth. Not sure how his organs don’t fall right out on the floor”. It’s an industry term ….
or at least there used to be freedom of speech
And Bernie x.com/wordswithste...
Trump is such a sucky baby. He is a loser and should never have been elected president of the USA. Sanders, thanks for calling him out!
Yes, please, get out of politics!
Narrator: It was no longer a democracy.
Came here to say this. It stopped being one as soon as they disqualified millions of ballots so that he could win. It has been removed from life support and took its last breath today.

There's a difference between holding on to your beliefs regardless of what others say, and trying to eliminate others for saying they disagree
Isn’t it a terrible thing when the leader of your country is a whiny baby?
