Bernie on becoming a meme: "Not only are we having fun, what we're doing here in Vermont is we're [selling shirts to raise money for] programs like Meals on Wheels that feed low income senior citizens, so it turns out actually to be a good thing and not only a fun thing." pic.twitter.com/adEX26MATe
Last Wednesday, Bernie Sanders went to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ Inauguration on a cold Washington, D.C. morning. Therefore, he dressed warmly for the event by wearing a pair of handmade mittens. Since it was near freezing outside, the Senator looked grouchy as he waited for the outdoor festivities to begin.
His look and his expression were so perfect that it led to millions of people sharing thousands of memes of his image inserted into several different photos. Photos from movies, TV shows, album covers, historical events, locations, artwork, and so much more.
How does Sanders feel about becoming the comedic relief we all desperately needed? He told CNN’s Dana Bash that he is having fun with the memes.
So much so that he is turning them into a good thing. “Not only are we having fun, what we’re doing here in Vermont is we’re selling around the country sweatshirts and T-Shirts,” Sander said. “All of the money being raised, which I expect will be a couple of million dollars, will be going to programs like Meals on Wheels that feed low income senior citizens, so it turns out actually to be a good thing and not only a fun thing.”
While the two shirts and the crew neck are sold out, I am sure they will be available again at BernieSanders.com soon.
The way he is handling this whole situation reminds me why I voted for him in the 2016 primaries. I felt the Bern, and I still do.
These memes also show us that we have moved on from the last administration’s negativity. We are back to not taking politics so seriously, and it feels so awesome.
For the last four years, there have been no animals, that walk on four legs, in the White House. However, that all changed yesterday when President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden’s dogs Major and Champ moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
How are the arfdorable pups liking it? “Champ is enjoying his new dog bed by the fireplace and Major loved running around on the South Lawn,” said Michael LaRosa, the first lady’s press secretary.
Normalcy has been returned to Washington, D.C, because of their arrival. You cannot trust someone who doesn’t love animals, and we all know that we couldn’t trust Trump and his administration.
This post is not about them; it is about the First Dogs of the White House. I can’t wait to see what mayhem they cause because it will be as cute as them.
I seriously missed having pets in the White House. It is time that the barking that is coming from the press room actually comes from animals that bark and not press secretaries.
Today, while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was talking about the upcoming impeachment trial for Donald Trump, he said erection instead of insurrection. What more can I say about that but it is so funny.
What is even funnier is that he is the second man to do that this week. Anderson Cooper also did it on CNN. So, fellows, I want to know what is up (no pun intended) with the Freudian slip?
Bernie Sanders, like almost 100 other United States Senators, attended President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ inauguration on Wednesday. However, he was the only one who became a meme.
Yesterday, the Vermont Senator was on Late Night, and Seth Meyers had to know if he had seen some of the memes. Sanders has seen them, and you can tell by his laughter that he enjoys them.
So what was he thinking when he was snapped? “I was just sitting there, trying to keep warm, trying to pay attention to what was going on,” Sanders said with a smile.
Thankfully, he has a good sense of humor about it all! Sanders even had one when Meyers asked him what was in that manila envelope. “I’d love to tell you, Seth. It’s top secret.”
While he brought an envelope, my House Representative, Brad Sherman, brought a Trader Joe’s bag. That is just how we do things in the Valley.
We know that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the first woman and the first African American and Indian to hold a top position in the White House. We know that her husband is the first male spouse and Jewish person to hold the title. However, we don’t talk enough about Joe Biden’s dog Major who is the first rescue to play in the White Dog House.
You can’t have an Indoguration without celebrities, so Jill Martin hosted the event, and Josh Groban sang. The singer reworked (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window for the event. All of the viewers were howling over it. Then again, we always knew that Grobs has a way with bitches.
Hopefully, people will start barking about how Major is a rescue, and it will cause other people to adopt instead of shop. All of my cats were rescues, and they were/are all rare breeds. More importantly, they give you lots of love! You can buy that!
