Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told a crowd of thousands at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday that the U.S. was facing a moment of "extraordinary danger" as he criticized the political, economic and social policies of President Donald Trump.
Sanders, who also dropped by the music festival Coachella over the weekend, has been criss-crossing the U.S. to speak out against the new Republican administration.
"We are living in a moment of extraordinary danger," he said, "and how we respond to this moment will not only impact our lives but will impact the lives of our kids and future generations."
On the latest stop of his national "Fight Oligarchy" tour, the lawmaker criticized what he sees as Trump's efforts to advance the interests of billionaire businesspeople over those of the working class.
"I'm no longer talking about how we're moving to oligarchy," Sanders told the crowd. "I'm talking about how we are living today in an oligarchic form of society."
The same night but on the opposite coast, Trump attended the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the Kaseya Center in Miami, where the crowd erupted in applause as he entered and shouted chants of "U.S.A."

"It says we're doing a good job," Trump said on Air Force One early Sunday morning. "If we weren't doing a good job, we'd get the opposite."

Any pinko nonsense will do. The Coachella crowd will cheer anything even vaguely anti-American.
Burning a lot of greenhouse gases.
Not too good for the environment, Bernie.
Time for weekend at Bernie’s.
As long as there’s drugs and a possibility for sex, pinkos are in to whatever you tell them.
“The Coachella crowd will cheer anything”
I like how they do back flips.
The grifting commie bastard Senator who has never done anything in his miserable life yet owns three or four houses and has a corrupt wife warns us against the pro-freedom, pro-liberty, pro-America, anti-swamp, MAGA President?
That’s rich.
Notice how Democrats during a crisis do not offer to help?
LOL...Bernie “Commie” Sanders hauls out decrepit commission dinosaurs Joan Baez and Neil Young to really connect with the young people at Coachella.
You have to be out of your mind like Bernie to believe Bernie ,LOL
Another senator who is a walking talking advertisement for repeal of the 17th Amendment?!
“commission” should be “commie”
“Another senator who is a walking talking advertisement for repeal of the 17th Amendment?!”
You think their legislature wouldn’t permanently install him?
“Hes not a socialist, he won’t rule like we do.”
No because every legislator and state grand poohbah would see themselves in that seat. I think there would be plenty of competition for it.
This guy has been warning us about an emerging oligarchy in the US since the 1990s...its getting annoying.
“oligarchic form of society.”
From 2021-2024, yeah, Joe wasn’t home.
We were run by a politburo.
More projection from democrats.
Bernie the heavyweight…
He started it, the bag finished it.
