    I like it when billionaires pretend $170K is a whopping windfall.

    Bernie must be on the outs with the Central Party.

    $170K for a book is shit.

    Hunter got way, way more than that.

    You are correct. It isn't some massive sum of money, but it isn't nothing either. And if you cannot see the hysterical hypocrisy in a guy who spent the last 50 years railing against the evils of capitalism having multiple nice homes and a net worth in the millions, then none of us can help you. I'd respect Bernie a lot more if he had one modest home in his district, and gave all his extra income to the poor. But instead he is a millionaire who has made a living out of bashing his own kind. He's a grifter. You know this.

    It's okay to not defend an obvious huckster like this HH. There are a TON of grifters on the right. I don't defend them. Most politicians are slimy losers. Bernie is no different. You do not have to defend everyone who votes the way you do.
    This is POTM material had it not been for the Cohen being spotted all the tim comment from a couple days ago. That was pure gold Jerry.

    With his $170k windfall (which for most Americans would be life changing), did Bernie do his own taxes or did he hire an accountant to limit his tax liability?

    Bernie Sander's wife Jane made hundreds of thousands of dollars as president of Burlington College while she bankrupted it including her $200,000 severance package as her reward for her dazzler-like financial performance.

    I have two issues with Bernie: (1) guns; and (2) that he thinks being LBJ-lite somehow makes him a "socialist".

    I agree that $170,000 grand isn't nothing. But a one-time hit of $170K isn't life changing for him either. (It's also a lot less than Clarence Thomas collects in undisclosed "gifts".) Elon Musk, of all people, talking about this $170K hit as big money is beyond laughable.

    The issue is that Bernie is a POS hypocrite. Why no discussion of the Biden family grift? Makes Thomas's legal "gifts" look like a piker.
