After an abysmal showing on Super Tuesday, multibillionaire former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg ended his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President, endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden.

Bloomberg was heavily criticized after deciding to run, because many felt his time and resources would be better spent on more viable candidates.

With his candidacy in the rear view mirror, Bloomberg signaled with a clip from Star Wars that he's ready to do just that.


It started in response to a Twitter screed from President Donald Trump—who refers to Bloomberg as "Mini Mike."

Bloomberg's response promised that, for Trump, the worst was yet to come.

The mayor posted a clip from the final battle of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in Star Wars IV: A New Hope.

Vader is ultimately victorious in the duel, but Obi-Wan gives a final, apt warning:

"You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

With an absurd level of wealth at approximately $60 billion, Bloomberg could unlock a war chest of political ads, opposition research, and other forms to harm Donald Trump in a general election.

People took the clip as a sign of things to come.






The Democratic primary isn't over yet, and November is getting nearer.

Design For New Commemorative Coin Featuring Trump Just Dropped—And People Can't Believe It's Real

On March 19, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), comprising people appointed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, unanimously approved a final design concept proposed for a 24-karat gold United States semiquincentennial commemorative coin.

Instead of featuring the Declaration of Independence or some other images central to the foundation of the nation in 1776 or more universally recognized symbols from the last 250 years, the CFA chose a sketch based on a photo of Trump leaning over the Resolute desk in the Oval Office for the coin's obverse or "heads" side.

Gavin Newsom Said What We're All Thinking About Trump's Decision To Deploy ICE To Airports

After President Donald Trump moved to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out exactly why the move is so troubling for citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
