In socialism, the people share everything, including apparently boogers. Senator Bernie Sanders was seen picking his nose during the Senate impeachment trial and then handing a mint to one of his democratic colleagues. Did he pass a commie booger to this unsuspecting democrat? The smart money is on “yes.” Hygiene and common courtesy are capitalist tools of oppression and we all know Bernie is against that.
Now that the Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump has moved to the President’s defense of the unfounded charges, the liberal media doesn’t have much interest in covering it. Any reports of the proceedings would make Joe Biden look bad so instead we get this crack reporting from Roll Call. Here Roll Call is outraged that Republicans like Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander were breaking the “no food” rule:
Alexander returned from the cloakroom after Philbin’s presentation with food in a small metallic wrapper, pouring the contents into his hand and then shoveling it into his mouth as he stood at the back of the chamber. He went to his desk and continued eating.
When Alexander finished the food, he folded the wrapper and slipped it into his desk drawer, and in one motion pulled his cellphone from the desk. He slipped the contraband into his right jacket pocket and departed for the cloakroom.
When he returned, he was holding food in his lap, breaking off discreet bites to bring to his mouth.
Other senators violated the food rule, including South Carolina Republican Tim Scott, who reached down several times with his right hand to pull some small snack from his left hand and bring it to his mouth. After he finished, he wiped the hand that was holding the forbidden treat off on his pants.
But when democrats were seen eating, it wasn’t nearly as outrageous. It was however pretty damn disgusting:
Vermont Independent Bernie Sanders used his right pinky to pick his nose, then reached into his jacket pocket for a tissue to wipe his face. Later he offered a mint to Wisconsin Democrat Tammy Baldwin, who accepted.
There’s at least two things missing from this report: 1) It doesn’t say Bernie wiped his finger with the tissue, just his face and and 2) there is no mention of Bernie washing his hands.
The conclusion here is that Bernie used the same hand he picked his nose with to offer Tammy Baldwin a mint, which she ate. Even if by some miracle Bernie didn’t pass along his booger, he gave his colleague a mint contaminated with his nose nuggets. Either way, it’s disgusting.
This episode is not going to help Bernie’s misogyny problem. Elizabeth Warren was probably lying when she accused Sanders of saying a woman can’t be president, but Tammy Baldwin can say with certainty that he made her eat his booger.
Sanders defense of this is clear: He will say that tricking people into eating boogers is a basic human right. He’ll argue that the 1% and the fat cats in Washington are the ones trying to deny the right to stealth-feed boogers. Mostly though, he’ll blame President Trump’s “racism and xenophobia” for this without explaining how that makes any damn sense.
Perhaps this was actually a dog-whistle to his Bernie Bro supporters, saying the socialist revolution is on the way. There are massive food shortages in socialist societies, so boogers become a major source of sustenance. Bernie picking his nose and feeding it to a democrat is his way of reaffirming his communist takeover plan.
