Bernie made a list of two things. Both of them are about getting more power for Bernie's side. Neither one is about you. "First, we must end Republican control of Congress and finally hold Trump accountable." Senator, Trump isn't on the ballot this November. You know that. Your staff knows that. The guy who mows your lawn at the lake house knows that. So "hold Trump accountable" doesn't mean anything on a 2026 ballot except "give my party the gavel." He's already been impeached twice. Acquitted twice. You voted to convict both times. How many times does the same experiment have to fail before you write "inconclusive" in the lab notebook and move on? And if we're handing out accountability, Bernie, let's start with the guy who's been in Congress since cassette tapes were still a thing. Since 1991. Thirty-five years. Two renamed post offices and a veterans cost-of-living adjustment. If I ran a classroom like that, they'd have taken my keys a long time ago. You're a cuckoo clock that only knows one word, Senator, and the word is "oligarch." Now let's talk about the clip, because I watched it, and so did 62,000 other people. You told the audience a president said to Jimmy Kimmel, "I didn't like what you said, we're going to yank your license." Bernie. The president doesn't license comedians. There's no comedy license. Nobody's walking around with a laminated card that says "approved to make fun of the White House." The FCC licenses broadcast STATIONS. Pulling one is a long formal legal process, not a bad mood on a Tuesday. Here's what actually happened. In September 2025, after Kimmel's monologue about the Charlie Kirk assassination, station owners like Nexstar and Sinclair pulled his show off THEIR local stations. Those are private companies deciding what goes out on their own channels. They've always had that right. That's not a president yanking a license. That's a business deciding it didn't want to air something. And then there's the best part. You said all of this... sitting on the set of Jimmy Kimmel's show. Which is on the air. What's next, Bernie going on national television to warn everybody that a comedian has been silenced... wait. I'm being told that's this clip. On the comedian's show. That's still broadcasting. You're a lifeguard screaming "SHARK!" at a kiddie pool, through a megaphone that works perfectly. And Kaitlan Collins? You made it sound like she'd been locked out of the country. On September 18, the White House pulled the hard passes for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. A few days later, Collins was questioning Trump at the United Nations. And on September 24, a federal judge ordered the passes restored. So within a week, the system you say is collapsing did exactly what it's built to do. A reporter kept asking questions, a court stepped in, and the passes came back. That's not the end of the free press, Senator. That's a checks-and-balances lesson I could teach in one class period. Your argument has more holes than a sock with a heel blown out. Here's what you actually did in that clip, and I teach this one too. It's called equivocation. You took a station-owner decision and a press-badge fight, glued them together, called both of them "the president yanking a license," and then spent the back half of the video running a campaign ad. That's not an argument, Bernie. That's a Rube Goldberg machine. A hundred moving parts, ten minutes of clanking, and at the end of it, the little marble just drops into a slot that says "vote Democrat." Speaking of which. You call yourself an Independent. You caucus with the Democrats. You ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016 and again in 2020. And now your number one goal for America is "end Republican control of Congress." Senator, you're as independent as a ventriloquist's dummy. Somebody's been working your mouth for thirty-five years, and everybody in the audience can see the arm. "Second, we must elect progressives who have the guts to take on the oligarchs." And then you name them. Abdul in Michigan. Peggy in Minnesota. Angie in Florida. Bernie, you've had a rough week with this one. Remember last week? You told America big money buys elections. You said "get big money out of politics." Then, a few days later, you bragged that AIPAC spent $33 million against Abdul El-Sayed and LOST. Then you bragged that Angie Nixon got outspent more than ten to one in Florida and WON. So big money buys elections... except every single time you brag about it not working. You're a karaoke singer who only knows one song, and you STILL keep missing the words. And "the guts to take on the oligarchs." Senator, three houses. $221,000 on chartered private jets in one quarter of 2025. Over $200 million raised in each of your presidential runs. If "oligarch" means a rich guy with a lot of political power who flies private and has a lake house... I've got some news, and you're not going to like the mirror. You're a shoe salesman with no shoes on, Bernie, lecturing everybody about bare feet. "And build a government that works for all." Senator, you had your chance. In 2021 and 2022, your side ran the House, the Senate, AND the White House. All three. Full control. And Medicare for All never even got a vote. Your own minimum wage push died with Democrats voting against it. What we got instead was nine percent inflation. I remember standing in the grocery store doing the math on the cart. That's the "government that works for all" you're asking people to bring back. Respectfully, Senator, we've seen the rerun. Nobody's asking for it to be renewed. And now here's the part that should make every voter stop scrolling. On September 29, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terrorist organization, published a 26-page letter telling American voters they could "change the makeup of the government" this November. They also want American support for Israel ended. Trump isn't on the ballot. The only way to "change the makeup of the government" this year is to change who controls Congress. And five days later, Bernie, your number one goal for this election is... "end Republican control of Congress." I'm not saying you're working for Tehran. I'm saying when a terrorist army and a United States senator post the same goal in the same week, a normal person should notice. I noticed. I was a medic in Iraq. Iran's militias blew up my vehicle with me in it and hurt my gunner. So forgive me if I'm not interested in letting the IRGC and Bernie Sanders split the job of picking my Congress. That's Quinn's Law Number Two: if you want to know what liberals are up to, watch what they accuse conservatives of doing. For years we heard that foreign powers picking sides in American elections was a five-alarm fire. It still is. It just gets real quiet on the left when the foreign power picks THEIR team. You're a squirrel with a megaphone, Senator. Lots of noise, lots of running around, and every few minutes you drop the nut and forget where you put it. You're a teapot whistling with no water in it. And honestly, you've got all the political vision of a raffle with no prize. Everybody keeps buying tickets, and nobody ever wins anything. So here's my list of two things, Bernie. Since you made one. First, you could start being accountable yourself. File your taxes with the standard deduction only. No itemizing. Pay DOUBLE what the IRS says you owe. Post the return. Then sell two of the three houses and fly commercial to your next rally. Second, elect people who'll make government smaller, not bigger, so the next time a politician wants to "hold somebody accountable," the somebody isn't you and me. But what do I know? I'm only a retired Army medic who already got blown up by Iran's militias once, and a teacher who noticed that a senator complaining about a comedian getting silenced said it on that comedian's show, while it was on the air. @TPUSA @JoJoFromJerz @atrupar #MAGA #Trump #Veterans
