While it is commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette, there is no record of this phrase ever having been said by her, but its been said by Bernie Antoinette.

Sanders is promising the poor bread in order to be in a position of power.

"Bread and circuses" (or bread and games; from Latin: panem et circenses) is metonymic for a superficial means of appeasement. In the case of politics, the phrase is used to describe the generation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through diversion; distraction; or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace

Roman politicians passed laws in 140 B.C. to keep the votes of poorer citizens, by introducing a grain dole: giving out cheap food and entertainment, "bread and circuses", became the most effective way to rise to power.

… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses
-
(Juvenal, Satire 10.77–81)


Juvenal here makes reference to the Roman practice of providing free wheat to Roman citizens as well as costly circus games and other forms of entertainment as a means of gaining political power.

How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:


There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state.


The first is the most important.


1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people


2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.


3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.


4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.


5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).


6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.


7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.


8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Bernie Sanders has been in Congress for how many years? Seems as though it's all he's ever done. I guess handouts look pretty good to him....he's lived off the taxpayers most of his life.
 
...morons have an IQ of 51–70 mostly uneducated democrats vote Obama and democrat, which comprise of a majority of 100 million uneducated welfare voters, ghettos, trailer park, dropouts, thugs, illiterates, baby mamas, laborers, and illegals.

Compilation of morons who feel entitled to free stuff from the government
 
you freaks don't care what you make up, do you?

never mind....rhetorical question


I'm sorry, has Bernie been in Congress for the majority of his life or not? Bernie reminds me of the Professors I had while at the University of Louisville - never did an honest days work their entire lives - but were experts on "living". Same day - same story.
 
I trudged and waded all through the OP's compilation of tired memes, and did not see where Bernie Sanders said to let the poor eat cake.

The expression relates to an elitist condescending to the plight of the poor by assuming they have all the sustenance they need. Which is about as far from Sanders's nature as it gets.

You parroting dumbshit. Saul Alinsky never wrote this. This list is a recycled version of an older bogus list supposedly written on how to create a communist state.

So you took a hoax list, which has been recycled and changed to put Alinsky's name on it, and copied and pasted your stupidity for the whole world to see.

Well done!

Have you ever had an original thought in your life? I bet it hurt like hell.

His constituents don't agree with that assessment. They clearly think he's worth his wages.

No he hasn't. Bernie Sanders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So, he has been in politics since 1968 and that isn't the majority of his life? What am I missing here?
You said Congress. That's only been since '91.


Jesus...OK...let me correct the record. since you are a literalist - POLITICS. There...feel better now?
 
These selfish anarchist who want free stuff are just looking out for themselves and have no patriotic loyalty for building up America, but spread logical fallacies about Trump getting over, whereas these hypocrites need to look in the mirror. They don't care about redistributing to the poor because they're only concerned for "I" "I" "I"!

Thanks for pointing that out. OP is another drudge report hack (Drudge is gay BTW, you know that right? couch protester )
 
He, as well as then Sen Obama, voted against the worst foreign policy disaster in living memory (perpetrated by a Repub admin BTW ;) ) :up: vietraq. Good enough for me

… Whenever Bernie can run his own worst socialist economic state in the nation on the top 10 worst list Vermont 4 billion debt, then make his socialism argument valid, not 50 more states to bern through? Rich States, Poor States, 8th Edition - American Legislative Exchange Council

Mentioning that Drudge is gay must make you homophobic, doesn't that go against your liberal compassion for gay free speech for Drudge?

So much for your masters anti-war peace tactics.

Bernie Sanders' Troubling History of Supporting US Military Violence Abroad

Notably he supported NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, a stance which caused one of his staffers to resign in protest.

The attack on Kosovo is hardly the extent of Sanders' hawkishness. While it's true he voted against the Iraq War, he also voted in favor of authorizing funds for that war and the one in Afghanistan. More recently, he voted in favor of a $1 billion aidpackage for the coup government Ukraine and supported Israel's assault on Gaza.

More problematic for the Senator in Birkenstocks is the little-known fact that Bernie Sanders himself voted twice in support of regime change in Iraq. In 1998 Sanders voted in favor of the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, which said: “It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.”

Sanders supported Bill Clinton’s war on Serbia, voted for the 2001 Authorization Unilateral Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF), which pretty much allowed Bush to wage war wherever he wanted, backed Obama’s Libyan debacle and supports an expanded US role in the Syrian Civil War.


Later that same year, Sanders also backed a resolution that stated: “Congress reaffirms that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.” These measures gave congressional backing for the CIA’s covert plan to overthrow the Hussein regime in Baghdad, as well as the tightening of an economic sanctions regime that may have killed as many as 500,000 Iraqi children. The resolution also gave the green light to Operation Desert Fox, a four-day long bombing campaign striking 100 targets throughout Iraq. The operation featured more than 300 bombing sorties and 350 ground-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles, several targeting Saddam Hussein himself.



How many countries did Obama bomb?
US has engaged in conflict in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and now Syria. Barack Obama, the man many hoped would be the 'peace President' when he was elected, has bombed seven countries during his six years in office.
'Peace' President? How Obama came to bomb seven ...

What wars did Obama start?
The Obama administration is expanding its drone war to Somalia, which makes six countries where the United States is using drones to conduct lethal attacks: Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Iraq and Yemen (read). Also, the US is supplying drone aircrafts to Uganda and Burundi to help them fight in Somalia

No chit dummy. The fact that he's gay goes against your hate and fear ideology however. That was the point. Went right over your head as expected
 
...or the other option is vote for Bernie Sanders and keep 100 million people on welfare giving them everything for free and $15 dollars minimum wage working teenage McDonald assembly type jobs, which companies will lay off employees to offset the costs and begin manufacturing more jobs overseas for cheaper labor like they do now. I know you haven't thought it through, this is what happens with wishful thinking in socialism, it usually is all about impulse thinking and not long term reality. Democrats are dreamers, they love having a vision, but it deals with short term solutions. Feel The Free Welfare Money Burn!
