BREAKING: Washington Post – US officials told Bernie Sanders that Russia is trying to help his campaign.
We cannot afford Bernie as nominee. We need a candidate with the broadest appeal. It’s not Bernie. Vote @JoeBiden. #RidinWithBiden https://t.co/e5JjlqdbpH

So Russia wants a race between Sanders and Trump. They probably want Tulsi Gabbard as Bernie’s running mate. And no question they will help Moscow Mitch get re-elected. What a monumental mess Trump has made of America! He will let this happen. Putin’s USA. https://t.co/WiNtTOYK4T

Bernie, briefed by our experts, stands by our intelligence community and tells Putin to stay the hell out of our elections.
Trump, briefed by our experts, attacks our intelligence community and stands with Putin.
So…which one is the Socialist? The communist sympathizer?

In less than 24 hours, the fake news media has gone from "Putin wants Trump to win" to "Putin wants Bernie to win."
We live in a clown world.

Trump’s new intel chief, Richard Grenell, did *undisclosed* work for an Eastern European oligarch now subject to anti-corruption sanctions.

Multiple routes of transmission: “The virus can also be transmitted through the potential fecal-oral route. This means that stool samples may contaminate hands, food, water and cause infection when the microbes enter mouth or eyes, or inhaled.” #covid19 https://t.co/MF1YrUw86a

Superb from @MarinaHyde who warms up with Priti asking “Why is everyone so fucking useless? Very bold. This is a bit like Donald Trump coming out of his office and asking why everyone has spectacularly stupid hair." before moving on to the Golan Heights! https://t.co/MkfoQd0lhQ

We expect racism from the #Brexit supporting MSM, but we certainly don't expect the BBC to broadcast these racist views. #bbcqt is not broadcast live. This could have been edited out, but it wasn't. Disgraceful! https://t.co/rTevvJQJ9n
