Why is Bernie Sander's hand on model Anne V's ass

[MineralMan]

at the White House Correspondent's Dinner? The photo below was posted from that event on another thread, and has been turned into some kind of Sanders campaign collateral material:




So, I wondered who the woman was. I discovered who, after a brief search. It's supermodel Anne V (Anne Vyalitsyna). She was at the dinner, as a guest of someone, I suppose. In fact, here's a photo of her there on the red carpet:



So, what's Bernie doing playing grab-ass with a supermodel at that event? Seems a little creepy to me, really. Now, I'm a little envious of Bernie, you understand, but I can't figure out why someone would think that's a great image of the candidate, really.

Curious, huh?

[lumberjack_jeff]

1. I'm sorry, you were saying something about trolling the other day? n/t

[MineralMan]

5. Probably, but that image sort of caught my eye, you know.

She's quite an attractive woman, don't you think. It took me a minute to notice Bernie's hand, in fact.

[pacalo]

68. What's creepy is you reading something out of nothing.

How disgusting.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

111. Not the first time at this rodeo.

[George II]

128. You pull up a THREE year old post to make a very weak point against someone?

THAT is creepy in itself.

[stevenleser]

187. They've proven time and time again that this is how they roll.

They data mine people's old posts for anything they think they can discredit them with, no matter how silly or how much they stretch the point.

The whole idea is to derail the discussion from the point the person was trying to discuss.

[FlatBaroque]

275. No, sport-o, it is to identify hypocritical creeps who troll the internet

do you know what I mean?

[stevenleser]

282. Nope, my original comment is accurate. nt

[pacalo]

170. Creepy to the max.

I usually have him on ignore but was at Tulane this afternoon when I checked in without logging on. When I saw his creepy header line I just had to log on, reactivate his name, & respond.

The ignore feature is one of the best perks on DU.

Good to see you, Hassin!

[Bonobo]

185. Ewwwwwwww!!! nt

[Chasstev365]

177. That's all they got.

[pacalo]

183. Absolutely!

[George II]

131. Would these people be equally accepting if that was Bill Clinton? It would be all over LBN!

[lumberjack_jeff]

7. I'd have picked the cloth-covered part too. n/t

[MineralMan]

25. Not me. My arm would be at my side,

not wrapped around a stranger posting for a photo with me. Much simpler and more polite, I think.

[JudyM]

96. If she cozied up to you like she did here & your arm was by your side it would actually be touching

her ass, though out of view, as your shoulder would be twisted back a bit. He could have put his hand on her shoulder (skin) or exactly where he has it, on her HIP, that's it.

[jberryhill]

155. Yeah, you'd be elbowing her breast that way from the side

[CincyDem]

217. Not a lot to choose from.

""

[Agnosticsherbet]

2. Yes, that is creepy.

[Eleanors38]

103. Really? Beauty is in the eye of the holder.

Which way is his hand "creeping?"

[TheBlackAdder]

255. I didn't realize there were so many provincial thinkers here. The 60s-80s died. This OP = Envy!

[dchill]

3. What utter bullshit.

And a waste of your time and mine.

[Tarc]

17. Rather hilarious, coming from the camp that made Hotsaucegate into a thing

[scscholar]

99. Given his history with his three wives...

it isn't a waste of time to talk about this important issue. His problems with women.

[TM99]

133. Oh please go there please

then we can discuss the serial sexual abuser and harasser and chief who wants back in to the White House as first husband.

Let's go there and discuss problems with women.

[MariaThinks]

157. nice gop talking points

[TM99]

165. My ass.

Some of us were actually adults then and know what was happening in Arkansas even before Lewinsky in the White House.

But come on, show me the issues Sanders has with women. I fucking dare you.

[sheshe2]

216. his writings?

[synergie]

136. He's only had 2, the mother of his child wasn't married to him.

[BeyondGeography]

4. Looks like it was a choice between hip/ass and bare flesh

Mr. Sanders acquitted himself well, imo.

[MineralMan]

8. Not really. HIs arm could just hang down.

Not quite a grope, but...

[peace13]

54. She is the one leaning into him!

His hand is avoiding the skin. That would be creepy!

[BeyondGeography]

60. This thread is going to go from bad to worse

I would self-delete.

[passiveporcupine]

192. Consider the source

He's proven to be quite interesting during this election. I never saw this side of him before.

[Fuddnik]

92. You've been flirting with the ignore button for a long time.

Well done. You finally made it!

[chknltl]

302. PLUS ONE! nuff said.

[Chan790]

142. I get that you may not pose for many pictures with strangers...

but, no, that doesn't work.

1.) You generally end up with a sleazier looking photo, as she's leaning in closer to him...not only would your hand be more-directly on her ass, her boob would be pressed against you slightly.

2.) It's not all that comfortable, as you would turn back from the hip as the person leaned into you, which makes for an awkward way of standing.

3.) It would be worse if his hand was on bare skin. Normally, you'd put the arm on the side...but there's a cut-out there. Shoulder doesn't work either. That's literally the best place for him to have put his hand...on her hip.

Chan790, takes pictures with lots of random women...I don't know what it is, women of my generation like to capture first dates in selfies. Other than the date that grabbed my hand and put it on her boob as she made a shocked face, I try to be conscious of where my hands are as to not be sexually-presumptuous on early dates.

[Bonobo]

186. MM would be "hover handing"

[Renew Deal]

152. He could always not touch her at all

[FSogol]

6. Um, that's her hip.

[MineralMan]

11. Yah, that's what my mother used to call a butt, too.

[FSogol]

62. My grandma had a much repeated saying about "not knowing your ass from a..." , you probably know the

rest.

(for Grandma Springer)

[PufPuf23]

173. You should be ashamed of yourself for this OP.

Did your mother only give you side hugs when you were a child?

[passiveporcupine]

194. What century were you born in?

It's OK to hug a woman in public, or to put your arm around her in a photo op.

I swear, this is the silliest and foulest thread I've ever seen you post.

[Puglover]

299. Oh I dunno.

This one was a doozy.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023105108#post96

[passiveporcupine]

304. I never saw that one

Maybe MM has some kind of defect in his funny button.

He sure comes off as intended if he's trolling people intentionally, and not as intended if he's just clueless.

[immoderate]

9. Because it's there!

Also consider that everywhere else was uncovered.

--imm

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Where would yours be?

On second thought, never mind.

What a horse shit OP.

[villager]

14. Though the OP does speak volumes to the level of "discourse" here. nt

[MineralMan]

15. Mine would be at my side.

I've been in photos like that, too. By my side. I don't do that sort of thing to strangers.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

116. That would be the safe way to do it.

Last edited Mon May 2, 2016, 06:45 PM - Edit history (1)

However, I'm not reading too much into it. The photographer probably kept admonishing them to get in close.

But if I were his campaign advisor, I'd tell him to do it your way.

[A Simple Game]

280. Where would his be? I don't know but I know where it should be.

His hand should be pawing through the filth in the gutter looking for his mind so he could remove it from the slime. Why do Conservatives always sink to the lowest levels of discourse?

What a harmless photo, politicians have those taken every day and he knows that. As for his hand being on her butt? She doesn't even have a butt.

[RadiationTherapy]

12. Why is his hand on fabric instead of skin?

If that was my idea of "a hand on her ass," I'd probably still be single.

[ozone_man]

207. Precisely!

There really is no other place for his hand to be. Better to be on fabric than bare skin, or look like a stiff with his hand at his side. He put his hand on her Hip.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. He's compensating for not getting to ride on AF1

Or maybe for not getting to meet all those important heads of state.



Really, are you this desperate to come up with petty shit to tear Bernie down?

[NWCorona]

16. Some people are gonna see what they want to see but she looks happier than he does lol nt

[panader0]

18. MineralMan--you've really fallen a long ways.

What's creepy is your posting this. Would you rather he put his hand on her bare skin?
What would you have posted then?
And you claim you used to be a Sanders supporter. Too much....

[99th_Monkey]

36. +10

[Karmadillo]

84. Given the starting point, not sure he had all that far to fall.

[panader0]

94. He used to be even-handed. Now he's gone completely--

[Locrian]

89. +100

This is one of the weirdest, creepiest, threads I've seen. Is this a glimpse into the soul of what passes for humor or is it just trolling? Either way.... eeww.

[QC]

112. You should see the stuff he posted before he came here. n/t

[ChisolmTrailDem]

196. Yep. Most of the new people have no idea. nt

[Puglover]

285. Most of the

"New people" would agree with his disgusting "old" posts.

[QC]

295. True. n/t

[Autumn]

208. Some was after. The one where he posted Hillary was too stupid to be president was in 07

Scroll down to the bottom, no avatar, 4 stars

[bkkyosemite]

20. Stupid Bull Shit. He was trying to not put his hand on her skin. You will go after any thing.

[wyldwolf]

21. You can't blame Bernie for this. The REAL question is where was Hillary to stop this?!?!

Hillary is supposed to be this amazing feminist, right? Why wasn't she there to stop Bernie? She was probably out reprogramming voting machines, THAT'S where she was!1!1

[Tarc]

23. I declaredthis to be "HIPGATE" and request...nay, DEMAND...an immediate FBI inquiry!

[IamMab]

53. WHY is the FBI dragging their feet on the Hipgate investigation?

"I mean, it would be nice if the FBI moved it along."

[shadowandblossom]

224. Lol

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. Why is your mind in the gutter?

[virtualobserver]

87. no kidding....it is the post that is creepy

[OilemFirchen]

26. "See how long my fingers are?"

[KingFlorez]

27. Not surprising

Something about him just screams disturbing. Really creepy.

[Maru Kitteh]

28. Bernard has the hands of a saint, and cannot actually feel the ass.

When he touches super-models asses, he only feels little fluffy birds.

I am surprised you don't know this.

[MineralMan]

32. LOL!

[Tarc]

61. OMG

Between allergy sneezes and trying not to choke out the afternoon coffee, I've barely been able to breathe for the last minute or two after reading that.

That was awesome.

[Maru Kitteh]

64. THANK YOU :)

[NastyRiffraff]

138. He only put his blessed hand there to heal her hemorroids

And lo! She was healed

[polly7]

141. Hip hemorrhoids?

[shadowandblossom]

228. I just laughed so hard I cried a little

[uponit7771]

180. Devine has declared the Pope agrees with this post

[BreakfastClub]

205. hahaha! Thanks for the laugh. :-) nt

[imagine2015]

29. This photo is even creepier!

[lagomorph777]

91. Ewwwwwww

Bubbas in arms.

[passiveporcupine]

199. Yeah, who knows where her hands are?

Just kidding guys. Trying to put this whole damn thread in perspective, and it can't be done. It's disgusting.

[Bluenorthwest]

30. Mineral Man sinks to new low.

Good lord. Just good lord. Clinton Culture is Creepy.

[Attorney in Texas]

40. Isn't it creepy. If he molested her with a cigar, that would be one thing, but posing for a photo?

[Urchin]

113. Good point about cigars

[Divernan]

235. Bill's got a new humidor ready for the oval office!

[onehandle]

31. In his defense, the primaries are over.

Let the guy have some fun. He's earned it.

[MineralMan]

34. Hmm...maybe you're right...

On the other hand, my wife would give me a hard time if it were me in that photo with that model. She'd say something like, "Can't you keep your hands to yourself? Uff da!"

[jberryhill]

33. There are slim choices for a side hug there....

In order to do a side hug with someone in that dress, then you have to make a quick decision between your hand on bare skin, or the best-covered region of hip one can find.

I think he made the right choice there in a difficult dilemma.

But you never know what that guy might grab:



This OP is exceedingly lame.

[MineralMan]

37. Arm and hand at his side.

That's what I do in situations like that. But, I'm sort of shy, I guess.

[jberryhill]

45. Yeah right

While she's got her hand on his shoulder, he's going to look like a tin soldier. Ummm, yeah. I gather you do not go to many events where people take photographs together.

[TM99]

134. How narcissistic of you

to assume that what you would have done is what everyone should have done.

[passiveporcupine]

200. Great point!

But it actually is a thing. People often project their own feelings on others. Especially guilt or evil thoughts.

[TM99]

203. Well healthy people don't do this

to such extremes as we are witnessing here.

One mitigating factor is that extreme narcissists will trigger 'baby narcissists' to act out more so than they might typically do in polite circumstances.

[R B Garr]

160. Is he wearing CORPORATE tennis shoes??

Corporations!

[Hiraeth]

212. New Balance ... American made. corporate, yes ,,,, but probably the most PC tennis shoe out there

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Balance

seriously, y'all need to get a grip.

Do we really want to go there with Hillary's shoes?

Really?

[R B Garr]

248. lol, I recognized the New Balance logo. p.s., I think this thread

was a little bit of kidding...? I was kidding, anyway. Sort of. This is how ridiculous the glib, never-ending anti-Hillary "concerns" sound, so why not put the shoe on the other foot, so to speak.

Bernie's one-size-fits-all lingo about EVIL corporations is so trite and meaningless with its tiresome repetition, that his corporate shoes just jumped out of the picture as proof of the phoniness of it all. New Balance doesn't make everything in the U.S. And they are worth billions. Of course, all corporations and billionaires that Bernie wears or likes are A-Okay..., lol.

I thought you were going to put me on ignore. "Full" ignore. Oh well, glad you didn't. Hang in there!

[Hiraeth]

258. Did I ever tell you I was going to do such? Forgive me for forgetting to do so. My bad. I will

surely fix it now.

Go borrow a pair from Hillary. Jimmy Choos, Manolo Blaniks ... take your pick. She IS that kinda gal. You know her so well.

Hang/yourself.

[R B Garr]

264. LMAO! I did like your other name better....

Please hurry! Put me on ignore. Fix it!

And look at more of this pathetic phoniness. Bernie himself does nothing but whine and moan about CORORATIONS and how evil they are. But God Forbid someone points out a corporate logo he's wearing.

And Hillary doesn't present herself as a morally righteous phony. But it figures your only response is to try and bring her into it. Good Lord.

[shireen]

35. seriously?

He's trying to avoid her bare skin, perhaps?

[Attorney in Texas]

38. I'm thinking that the Clinton supporters might not want to start any "grab ass" discussions.

[Punkingal]

47. +1

[brewens]

39. Because he can! I seriously doubt he gave her a squeeze or anything. If he's just barely if at all

really touching her lightly, it's not like touching her breasts as far as I'm concerned. That's about the only clothed area he has behind her it looks like to me.

[MineralMan]

48. Well, it is a still photo, of course, so who can say.

This entire thread is a joke, you see. People have been posting all sorts of photos of awkward moments of candidates for decades. This is just another one like that.

The reactions, though, are priceless.

[passiveporcupine]

202. this thread is a joke?

Yeah, right! Not buying it after all the other nasty crap continuously thrown at Sanders.

Nice way to try to cover your own ass though.

[CincyDem]

41. Personally, having had a little life experience with "grab-ass"...

...this feels like "grab-ass near". You know how the real estate agent wants you to think the house is in Hollywood when it's not so they advertise as "Hollywood near". lol

[MineralMan]

42. Still a humorous image, though, isn't it?

Caught on camera...

Lots of that going on during campaigns. You never know when someone's snapping a photo.

OTOH, I, too have some experience with that sort of thing, from my youthful days, of course. Never with strangers, though, in evening wear, I must admit.

[CincyDem]

70. You ain't lived until it's with strangers in evening wear !

And it goes both ways.

The only time I've ever been grab assed was at a black tie symphony opening about 20 years ago. Two women walked past, I got grabbed, they kept moving on giggling. I think it was a contest between them and they seemed to have having a harmless good time around the room. lol

And you're right, it is pretty funny, especially in today's world of the ubiquitous cell phone cam.

[disillusioned73]

43. Really?? lol

It's called a hip.. this is an issue?? Did she slap him afterwards... if not - non story..

[Punkingal]

44. No doubt because he is a dirty old man, right?

[Dem2]

46. Tom Brady sez "keep your hands off my sister"

[Sky Masterson]

49. That was her hip

You act like he did a two-fisted Bill Clintonesq grope or something.

This is what is commonly referred to as Really Reaching.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

55. As gropes go, that's pretty lame. Bill Clinton was so much better

at that sort of thing.

[cherokeeprogressive]

56. What would you have posted if his hand was on her bare skin?

[Blue_Tires]

57. LOL Bernie wins... Brilliant

He just went up a few notches in my book

[fun n serious]

58. It's the whole creepy old man image it gives...

The campaign should pull that.

[tabasco]

59. Get a life.

Only a fucking creep would call the photo creepy.

[farleftlib]

303. A-men

And now he pulls out the "It was just a joke" lame-o defense.

[azurnoir]

63. His hand isn't on her behind and had it been higher it would have been on her bare midriff

I shudder to think about what fantasies would have emerged then then

[berni_mccoy]

65. I used to think you were ok... Now I think you need help.

72. Looks to me like Bernie's helping support her..

If his hand were anywhere else I think she's probably fall down.

[femmedem]

73. This is the worst OP I've ever seen from you.

That was the politest place possible for him to mirror her putting her arm around him.

It's disheartening to even see this OP on DU. I thought you were better than this.

[NorthCarolina]

74. Bernie has HUGE hands. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

125. And we all know what HUGE hands mean don't we...

HUGE gloves.

75. God, I hope someone is at least getting paid for this

The alternative is just too creepy and pathetic to ponder.

[elleng]

76. It's NOT!

Get OVER IT!

[polly7]

77. Because neither one of them probably wanted his hand on her bare skin.

Looks like only his fingertips are even touching her on her 'hip'.

What a sad OP. Learn anatomy.

[opiate69]

184. GMTA....

"Learn anatomy" is exactly the first thing that popped into my head... every time I think it can't get any more vapid, immature and fuck-nutty ridiculous around here, some dumbshit goes and proves me wrong

However, given that his time in the limelight is very limited, "gather ye rosebutts while ye may".

[TheCowsCameHome]

Is she making a move on the old guy? Why doesn't she keep her hand straight at her side?

Look at the responses by Hill camp. Many of them are acting grossed out by this picture and calling Bernie an old pervert. They are agreeing with the OP.

It's like it's hypnotism or something. Only one of them has to post something ugly, and even if it's not true, they all follow along like lemmings off a cliff.

100. Oh, FFS, look at the dress. Had his hand been any higher, it would have

been touching her bare skin. Not appropriate for an older gentleman. The dress is designed to show off half her ass. Boy, some people really are (pun intended) reaching here.

107. Pathetic right wing Hill-speak

[highprincipleswork]

109. No grabbing, just physical contact. Probably because he respectfully was trying not to put it on her

skin!!!!!!!

Talk about cheap shots though. Not worthy of you. Even though I completely disagree with you all the time, at least your other posts have intellectual validity.

[Urchin]

110. Because any higher and he'd be touching her skin.

And that would really be intimate.

115. Did you forget the sarcasm thingy?

Terrible photo, though. Least they could have done was color correct it.

If he was touching her bare back you would be complaining that he was touching her skin.

The manufactured outrage on this site is ridiculous

[ljm2002]

118. Lame. n/t

[Karmadillo]

119. Maybe Bernie can learn from Trump how to touch a woman.

[Cheese Sandwich]

120. sure.

Why do Hillary and Bibi look like they need to get a room?

121. The options appear somewhat scanty to me.

[Vote2016]

124. What a creep op.

[George II]

126. Pretty offensive of him if you ask me.

[libodem]

127. Because

Somebody is a pervert.

And it's not Bernie.

[MoonRiver]

261. Somebody else put his hand on her ass?

[snot]

129. It's not her *ss, & he's put it in the only polite place she's left him to put it –

And no, hanging down by his side is not a realistic option in that setting.

Plus it looks to me like he's got his hand "on" her about as lightly as he possibly could.

To be honest, when I saw the photo, I wondered if the purpose of the shot set-up was to try to embarrass him.

[panader0]

143. Wow! you recommended your own post. How gauche.

Weren't the usual suspects enough?

[Nye Bevan]

144. Because running for president has its perks? (nt)

[seabeyond]

145. Ok. Not a Sanders supporter, but he had to find some clothes to rest his hand, not bare skin. Nt

[Jim Lane]

218. You've demonstrated that one doesn't have to be a Sanders supporter to have some good sense.

I appreciate your going against the grain of what most of the Clinton people are saying.

[JoePhilly]

146. I know!!!! I know!!!

Because she has small breasts!!!!



It doesn't matter where his hands are ... every inch of her screams ... Bernie NO!!!!!!!!!

[Live and Learn]

147. He's doing his Bill Clinton imitation. nt

[frylock]

148. Who invited Bernie's hand to her ass? How did it get there? How much did it cost?

Who paid for it? What was on the menu? Derpa derpa derp?

[Renew Deal]

151. He's leading from behind.

[Bettie]

153. It is the only place he can reasonably rest his hand

that isn't bare skin. He's not feeling her up, they are having a picture taken.

Would it be more acceptable if he were cuddling up with a famous war criminal?

[Jester Messiah]

154. Nice muckraking there.

Maybe you can get a job with the tabloids.

[840high]

156. Your thoughta are creepy.

[mikehiggins]

158. You win! This is the silliest thread so far today. Congratulations! eom

[MariaThinks]

159. that's too familiar. At the very least, he needs to be smarter than that.

[BlindTiresias]

161. Absolutely creepy OP.

And an interesting insight into your mind. God bless.

[KPN]

162. Creepy post from a guy

who masquerades as a mature and reasonable. What is wrong with you man that you even look for and then see (in your mind) something like this and then spend a considerable amount of time creating a post to spread your slime.

Go back under your dead leaf.

[riversedge]

163. Rec for a quiet Monday night.

[pmorlan1]

164. Is This Your Brock Audition?

Is this thread your audition to become a Brock troll?

[sadoldgirl]

166. shows me where your mind is.

Go outside and clean them. It's the right time!

[kstewart33]

167. Whoa.

Bernie is getting a little touchy there.

[AgingAmerican]

169. Hillary supporters minds are in the sewer

[NCTraveler]

174. My guess. There is cloth where his hand is...

And he felt that to be more comfortable in a respect sense. Possible her height/long legs play a role. Look how far above his own pant line his hand is.

Hope he had fun.

[vintx]

176. So much fail. And you're not even gonna delete it?

I guess when you support a third way corporatist stioge you'll say anything to avoid thinking about what you're enabling.

[Chasstev365]

178. Bill Clinton. Enough said!

[gollygee]

179. I would guess that he wasn't comfortable touching her skin

There wasn't a good way to touch her at all, but their pose would be awkward without touching.

[Tarc]

188. I bet someone slept on the couch last night

[passiveporcupine]

190. It's not on her ass. It's more on her hip.

And it's highly possible he was not comfortable with putting his hand on her bare skin, so he tried to keep some fabric between them.

I think that if anyone looking at this is creeped out, it says a lot more about you than it does about Bernie.

Ewww, you have dirty minds.

[JI7]

191. that's not her ass, it's the area just above and he was trying to avoid touching her skin

this is one of those where if he was touching her skin you would have posted the same asking why he was touching her there.

[akbacchus_BC]

193. Why do DU posters entertain you on here? This post of yours is sick and twisted. Eventually the

Cave Dwellers cannot abstain from outing themselves!

[riderinthestorm]

197. This primary has changed my perspective on many DUers I used to like and respect

Your obsession is creepy and bizarre MM.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

210. I have to agree with you

i have seen many new sides to people i used to respect here on DU, i might have disagreed with a small number of them but they usually were able to back up and properly explain their side thus they gained my respect for that.

but regardless of me respecting them while agreeing with their views or respecting them for explaining their side well even if i disagreed i have learned a lot this election season, quite painfull lessons at that but on the positive atleast now i know things i didn't before rather then being blind to those hidden facts.

[Warren DeMontague]

281. Yep.

Integrity is one of those things it is hard to get back, once lost.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

198. No, what's creepy is that you are envious of him while accusing him of being creepy. nt

[basselope]

201. Joking right?

B/c 1st it is her hip.. 2nd its about the only place he can put her hand and not be touching her skin.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

204. OP has never touched a woman before.

...

[Autumn]

209. I think we found out what's really creepy, and it's not a man with his hand resting on a womans hip

grab-ass? You have outdone yourself.

[tirebiter]

211. Lighten up, people

Some things are just meant to be fun.

[shadowandblossom]

226. It gave me a laugh, that's for sure.

.

[phleshdef]

213. You've made yourself look pretty damn awful with this OP. Its time to retract.

[ibegurpard]

215. Because there's no material anywhere else.

Jesus...

[Joob]

219. Brah, where else? You want him to hover hand? the fuck lol

It looks more like the hip anyways fuck it I give up, you can clearly see he's avoiding skin on skin awkwardness

[shadowandblossom]

220. Wow old man. Hands off.

.

[pat_k]

223. In that dress, where the hell else you want him to put his hand?

On her back? (Better to touch skin than cloth?)

Are you serious? This is what you come up with as an attempted smear?

[shadowandblossom]

225. On her arm.

.

[Tarc]

245. Here's a crazy thought; on his own wife?

[Pacifist Patriot]

251. What a tempest in a teapot.

For goodness sake, someone asked them to pose for a photo and all hell breaks loose because he puts his hand on her clothed hip? Oh the horrors!

[Gothmog]

227. Good question

[Divernan]

229. Hey MM! Check out Bibi's hand versus HRC's "chest area"

in the second photo at this OP.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511883712


Sadly the photo cuts off the location of his other hand - but with your worldview, and the angle of his arm - what do you think?

And their "chest areas" (don't want to offend your tender sensibilities by being any more specific!) are actually touching. This is a much more intimate pose than the one of Bernie which has you all kerfluffled!

[Divernan]

233. As compared to Bill's 11 trips on the Lolita Express

The taxpayer watchdog group Judicial Watch announced Tuesday that it filed suit for the costs of U.S. Secret Service protection of former President Bill Clinton when he rode on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, dubbed the "Lolita Express."

The group filed suit after the Department of Homeland Security failed to comply with a prior Freedom of Information Act request from earlier this year.

According to news reports, the former president took several flights on the jet to the Epstein's island, and at least on one was accompanied by "4 secret service," according to a flight logbook first reported on by Gawker.com.

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--8lxTGpfN--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/wvoyfgwzetlpbojxt8l1.jpg



“Flight logs on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet puts Bill Clinton sharing a ride with a pornstar, as well as a woman who procured underage hookers for the billionaire.”

Bill Clinton has been snared in the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile sex scandal. Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express,” showed Clinton to be a frequent flyer along with a madame who allegedly hooked up Epstein with underage girls.

Clinton allegedly was on board at least a dozen flights with a woman whom federal prosecutors believe procured underage girls to sexually service Epstein and his friends, according to Gawker, which unearthed the flight logs.

Among other names unearthed in the flight logs are former Treasury Secretary and Harvard president Larry Summers, supermodel Naomi Campbell and scientist Stephen Pinker, according to Gawker.

If Clinton had sexual relations with an underage girl he could face severe penalties, even if the sex act took place outside the United States.

238. Welcome to DU. You missed the Golden Days/early years of this site.

In case you haven't heard of a truly progressive site, I suggest you check out Jack Pine Radicals.

http://jackpineradicals.org/content.php

[TheSarcastinator]

242. all Bill wanted was a nice rubdown from an underage girl

Surely you would never imply that Bill Clinton would ever commit an act of sexual impropriety.

[melman]

232. Anne V was obviously very happy to meet him

as you can see here in her Instagram post. https://www.instagram.com/p/BE2QSRrhkuS/


Really gross to characterize this as grab-ass, and really not fair to use this woman as a prop for your trolling.

[Chemisse]

236. Likely because he wasn't comfortable with his hand on her bare skin, so shifted it.

Why search for something bad?

[auntpurl]

237. As a Hillary supporter, I think this OP is ridiculous

As many people have stated, there's no good place for Bernie to put his hand in this situation.

I don't like Bernie. But we're winning this thing; no reason to resort to this sort of tawdry innuendo. Let's keep it classy.

[Katashi_itto]

240. MM your posts just get creepier and creepier.

[TheSarcastinator]

241. the moral calculus of morons

So let me get this right: Bernie with his arms around a supporter = Hillarians get the vapors.

Bill masturbates an intern with a cigar in the Oval Office, gets a blowjob from that intern then lies about it under oath = nothing to see here???

Ok then. Carry on with that outrage, brave political warriors. Your cause is righteous.

[notadmblnd]

243. And if he had had his hand on her bare skin

What sort of nasty innuendo would you have posted here?

IMO unfairly sexualizing an otherwise harmless moment is pretty creepy too.

[Vinca]

244. It's resting on her side. I imagine he was uncomfortable latching on to flesh and,

let's face it, that's all the back of the dress is. If you guys are suddenly going all prude, you'd better lay in the tranquilizers for the general election. There is about to be another "bimbo eruption" (Hillary's words, not mine).

[Lizzie Poppet]

246. Welcome to ignore. How diappointing...

Your posts, while in support of a ghastly travesty of a candidate, were once at least polite and substantive. This is pure, unadulterated ratfuckery...so off you go.

[Skwmom]

247. Bernie's hand is on her lower back. It's called anatomy.

http://betterbuttchallenge.com/buttocks-anatomy-101-glute-muscles-explained/

[roody]

249. I rarely look at names of posters.

I'm surprised to see you posting something so dumb MM.

[Pacifist Patriot]

250. Me too

I see nothing inappropriate in the photo, and totally stunned MM does. The pose seems natural, not obscene. I don't get why this is even a thing.

[roody]

260. grasping at straws

[Smarmie Doofus]

252. Not as creepy as this post.

>>> Seems a little creepy to me, really>>>>>>

And this is now OK?

Youtube and yahoo have more intelligent commentary.

Not much hope for this place after this convention..... I don't think.

[Orsino]

254. Well, it's your fanfic. You tell us. n/t

[Nonhlanhla]

256. I don't see it and I think this OP is nonsense

I usually enjoy your posts, but this is beneath us. Bernie's hand is obviously just relaxed - there's no groping, and he's not touching her bottom.

There is much to criticize Bernie for, but this ain't it.

[DefenseLawyer]

257. Get a life.

Seriously.

[John Poet]

259. Lucky for her, Bernie got there before Bill Clinton did!

[SixString]

263. Let your freep flag fly.

You really got your ass handed to you in this thread.

True colors . Shining through.

[intheflow]

265. His hand is almost exactly where her hand is on her hip in the lower photo.

So I guess she's grabbing her own ass there.

Seriously, this is where your mind roams, to smutty innuendo? That's the level of political discourse you're bring to the DU table these days?

[bjo59]

266. Uh, gee, his hand is where it is because he didn't want to put his hand on her bare skin

when she put her arm around him for a photo? I imagine you believe that Clinton already has the nomination all sewn up. If that's the case, what's the point of this post?

You say more about yourself with each ratfucking post. It's a shame...

273. Why is MineralMan typing with one hand?

[Puglover]

286. Now I truly need

Christ.

[beedle]

274. Is it okay to talk 'blow jobs' now too?

Why is this an issue? Is posing with a woman now enough to cause Hillary supporters to go off on school kid giggle fits?

Talk about sexism, the sight of a woman is all it takes to make some people have 'grab ass' fantasies.

[doc03]

276. Why not n/t

[madokie]

277. Beings as how is hand is not on her ASS

what is the big deal there MM. I realize you are old but are you really so old that you don't know lower back/upper butt from an ASS. GEEEZE
This is an example of why I don't normally see your posts anymore. Got here by a link FWIW

Star Member MineralMan (83,412 posts)


Why is Bernie Sander's hand on model Anne V's ass
at the White House Correspondent's Dinner? The photo below was posted from that event on another thread, and has been turned into some kind of Sanders campaign collateral material:




So, I wondered who the woman was. I discovered who, after a brief search. It's supermodel Anne V (Anne Vyalitsyna). She was at the dinner, as a guest of someone, I suppose. In fact, here's a photo of her there on the red carpet:



So, what's Bernie doing playing grab-ass with a supermodel at that event? Seems a little creepy to me, really. Now, I'm a little envious of Bernie, you understand, but I can't figure out why someone would think that's a great image of the candidate, really.

Curious, huh?

[stone space]

288. Bernie's new ad

[ChisolmTrailDem]

290. Creepy MineralMan must be hiding somewhere, hasn't bothered to show his face in his own...

...thread since yesterday.

[FlatBaroque]

297. I am certain that there are creepier men on the internet than MineralMan/

[ChisolmTrailDem]

298. And your point is? We're not talking about other creepy men on the internet. We're talking about..

...one that is here on DU.

[SixString]

291. Kick.

293. Wow, for someone who has spent the whole campaign claiming to be respectful about both candidates

You've just managed to let the mask finally slip and land firmly in the gutter. Well done.

[leeroysphitz]

294. IDK Why is your head up your's? n/t

296. And to think I had some respect for you as a Hillary supporter,

Well that whole charade went out the window.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

301. How often has his hand rested on bare flesh

on another woman's back? (Other than Jane's?)

Frankly, he doesn't look very comfortable in that photo.
