Obviously, it’s no surprise that Bernie Sanders, who took off on a plane to the Soviet Union the day after his wedding to wife Jane, was hypercritical of President Donald Trump’s performance during a joint presser with Vladimir Putin Monday in Helsinki, Finland.
Today is a good day for Putin and the oligarchs in Russia. It is a bad day for people in the United States and all over the world who believe in democracy and who are trying to understand what world our idiot president lives in.

“Idiot president” is pretty rough, especially coming from Bernie Sanders, who wanted desperately to be that idiot president in 2016.
In any case, it’s amazing Sanders even found time today to tweet about the presidential summit, seeing as he was so busy pushing his #CEOsvsWorkers hashtag all day and going after corporations like Disney, Amazon, American Airlines, Walmart, and McDonald’s for not at the very least offering a $15 an hour starting wage.
In doing so, Sanders set up a sham town hall and invited the CEOs of the aforementioned companies to … be shamed for being successful?
CEOS VS WORKERS TOWN HALL: Watch live as Sen. Sanders and workers from Amazon, Disney, McDonald’s, American Airlines and Walmart address the the wealth of corporate executives and the wages and treatment of the companies’ workers. https://t.co/7Bs0nPGOXA

So we could either watch a summit between two presidents or a “town hall” in which a socialist senator talks to a row of empty chairs. Hmm, which to choose. Both in one day would just be too much.
The average cashier at McDonald's would have to work for 895 years to make what the company's CEO makes in one year. #CEOsvsWorkers

The CEO of McDonald’s makes more than a high school kid who got a part-time job at McDonald’s to make some extra spending money? NO WAY.
How does it happen that there are many major corporations in America where CEOs receive extravagant compensation packages, who pay their workers wages so low that many of them are forced to rely on food stamps to survive? #CEOsvsWorkers

While Disney’s CEO makes up to $423 million:
– 1 in 10 Disneyland workers have been homeless in the past 2 years
– More than 2 in 3 are food insecure
– 3 in 4 don’t make enough money to afford basic needsThat is simply not acceptable. #CEOsvsWorkers

Up to $423 million? That would buy a lot of houses … but who really needs more than one house, right?
Jeff Bezo’s newly renovated home in Washington DC will have 25 bathrooms. Meanwhile, Amazon workers skip bathroom breaks in order to meet their grueling work targets. #CEOsvsWorkers

We saved a seat for the CEOs of American Airlines, Disney, Amazon, Walmart and McDonald’s in case they have the courage to face their workers. Tune in at 7 pm ET on Facebook to see if they’ll show up. pic.twitter.com/NB8JFyj4XN

OH, THE SUSPENSE! They’re probably busy working … like Bernie should be, instead of counting people’s bathrooms.
Too bad there’s no Soviet Union for Sanders to go back to, just to reminisce about the good old days.
