Bernie Sanders (I), Independent Senator from the state of Vermont is running for president, again.
Independent?
Independent exactly how?
How crazy is “Crazy” Bernie?
Well, it is actually seems to be more of a confusion…, but “crazy” will work.
Let’s begin with Bernie’s confusion about what he is to start things off.
I mean…, if you’re confused about who or what you are, where do you go from there?
Bernie self-identifies as an “independent,” even though he votes along with the democrats nearly 100% of the time.
If he’s an “independent,” on what issues has he sided with the Republicans?
Can anyone even name one issue where he bucked the democrats in favor of the Republicans?
And…, if Bernie truly is an “independent,” why is he participating in the Democrat presidential primaries…, again?
He refers to himself as a democratic socialist.
Isn’t that being a bit redundant these days?
Just sayin’.
Then there’s Bernie’s rantings about income inequality and how millionaires need to be made to pay more than their fair share.
That was until someone pointed out to Bernie that he was a millionaire.
Now Bernie rants about billionaires instead.
Here’s an example of how bright Bernie is.
In 2016, it is common knowledge now that Bernie was railroaded by the DNC so the establishment democrats’ darling, Hillary, could win the democrat party nomination.
So what does Bernie decide to do?
He decides to run with the democrats…, again…, so he can get screwed all over…, again!
Can anyone say, “Thank you sir, may I have another?!
I know Bernie can!
The cards are stacked against you…, again, Bernie.
Only this time the establishment’s favorite is Sleepy, Creepy, Joe Biden.
At least for now.
Then we have Bernie’s proposals for “Medicare for all” and the paying-off of student loans which would quadruple our national debt, which is already at $23 trillion!
Spoken like a true socialist/communist!
Bernie has also routinely accused President Trump of being sexist.
But who was the one getting called out, on national TV during the democrat presidential debate, by Senator Elizabeth Warren, of stating to her that “a woman could not win the presidency?”
It was you, Bernie!!!
Just more typical hypocrisy from our liberal friends.
In addition, I believe Bernie should just call it a day and put himself out to pasture. I mean, he’s 78 years old! I’m not an ageist, I’m over 60 myself, but Bernie…, dude…, why don’t you just retire, relax, kick back, dream about living in Russia and leave The United States alone?
You are aware that Bernie is a fan of Russia and communism in general, aren’t you?
It’s true. Like they say…, you could look it up.
He’s even got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez out there stumping for him.
Birds of a feather flock together, you know. That includes cuckoo birds!
Getting back to Bernie’s millionaire status, Peter Schweizer, for Fox News, reports that, “Bernie Sanders rails about [the] common good but public service has made him (and his family) rich!”
“Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has been a loud and constant voice for socialist policies throughout his 30 years in Washington, D.C., a self-proclaimed champion of the collective good. But in researching my new book, ‘Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Political Elite,’ I discovered that while Sanders may talk about the common good, his public service has made him and his family quite wealthy.”
Don’t you know, Mr. Schweizer, that this is the typical M.O. (modus operandi) for socialists and communists everywhere?
Let’s not kid ourselves that this doesn’t go on in our form of government as well, however, as Bernie so aptly demonstrates.
“Perhaps no one has benefited more from Sanders’s career in politics than his wife Jane,” Schweizer continues.
Is she one of these people who identifies as a female?
I’m just asking…, seriously.
“When Bernie was first elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont, he appointed his then-girlfriend, Jane Driscoll, to head his administration’s Youth Office. Though the position was originally unpaid, Bernie eventually put Jane on the payroll over objections of the city council. The job was never advertised so that others could apply. A local paper noted that Sanders never bothered to provide evidence as to Jane’s ‘qualifications’ for the position.”
Did I hear someone say Hunter? Hunter Biden?
“The appointment would remain a source of controversy for Sanders. After Bernie and Jane got married in 1988, his new wife received a big pay increase. As one local newspaper reported, ‘Political sparks flew at Burlington’s annual city meeting Monday night as Democratic aldermen raised a series of questions concerning a hefty pay raise for Mayor Bernie Sanders’ new wife and whether she should continue to hold her job as director of the Mayor’s Youth Office.’”
“After Bernie won election to Congress in 1990, Jane’s business ties to her husband rose to a new level.”
You go girl! What good is it being married to a congressman if you can’t take advantage of his position?
“In Washington, Jane became one of her husband’s top aides, serving at various times as his chief of staff, press secretary and political analyst. After a decade in Congress, Jane and family went about setting up a company that operated under three different names to provide income tied to Bernie’s political career.”
“On Sept. 27, 2000, the family formed Sanders & Driscoll LLC, a for-profit consulting company run by Jane, her daughter Carina, and son David. The business also operated under two trade names: Leadership Strategies and Progressive Media Strategies.”
Did I hear someone say Joe Biden? The Bidens? The Biden family?
“The fact that this entity and its aliases were formed just weeks before the 2000 election is significant. The Sanderses ran these out of their home on Killarney Drive in Burlington. These entities served as financial conduits to run cash to the Sanders family.”
“Bernie Sanders’s insurgent 2016 presidential campaign brought in a huge sum of money. A large chunk of it — nearly $83 million — flowed to a mysterious limited liability company with no website, no phone number, and no office space. Indeed, the LLC was registered to a private home on a cul-de-sac in suburban Virginia.”
“The mysterious company is called Old Towne Media LLC. Two names connected to the company are Barbara Abar Bougie and Shelli Hutton-Hartig, Jane’s associates from the 2006 campaign.”
You don’t say?
“The Sanders campaign purchased a whopping $82.77 million in political ads through Old Towne Media, which could have earned the company a media fee of more than $12 million, based on the industry standard for ad-buy commissions. Was Jane Sanders somehow involved in this financial arrangement? FEC disclosures make it easy to hide where media buying fees actually go. Jane listed her income from her professional work at the time as simply ‘more than $1,000.’”
“When a highly respected Vermont reporter named Jasper Craven, working for the nonprofit VTDigger.com, asked Jane about Old Towne Media during a phone interview, she replied, ‘I have no idea what Old Towne Media is.’ Then she hung up the phone.”
Please note…, only liberals are permitted to employ this course of action without any repercussions.
“Even when Jane got a job not working for Bernie, it still seemed to be connected to his political position.”
“In 2004, Jane was appointed head of Burlington College, a private school with fewer than two hundred students. One of the board members of the college admitted that Jane’s marriage to Bernie played a big role in her hiring.”
No kidding?
“Attending Burlington College was not cheap; tuition was over $23,000 a year in 2014-15. In addition, the college received millions in federal money over the years and students could apply for federal government–supported student loans. That flow of money provided funds that could be directed into family enterprises. And Jane steered Burlington College resources in the same direction as Bernie did his campaign money: it went to the family.”
“Beginning in 2009, the nonprofit Burlington College agreed to a deal with the for-profit Vermont Woodworking School to set up a carpentry program. The school, launched two years earlier, was not accredited and happened to be owned by Jane’s daughter, Carina.”
What a coincidence!
“Burlington College had never had a woodworking program before, and as when Bernie hired Jane to a city job while he was mayor, those outside the family were never invited to apply.”
Remember the motto of the socialists/communists…, “Do as I say, not as I do!”
“That first year of the alliance, the college gave Carina’s school $56,474 for ‘materials charges and lease of bench space.’ By 2010, the cash flowing from the college to the family business was more than $133,000. Payments ballooned to $182,741 in rental costs alone by 2012. In total, Burlington College would funnel more than $500,000 to Carina’s woodworking school.”
“The transactions are notable because Burlington College at the time was struggling to pay its own faculty and bills.”
“Carina’s school also received at least one federal grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to install biomass heating. At the time, Sen. Bernie Sanders sat on the powerful Senate Budget Committee, with financial oversight of the USDA budget.”
I’m sure that played no role in the school receiving any federal grant money. In fact, how dare I even mention the possibility!
“Despite the academic failings of the college, its continuing financial difficulties, and the growing river of funds that were flowing to her daughter’s business, Jane’s salary as president continued to rise. By 2009, she was making $160,000, including benefits.”
“It soon became apparent that the college did not have enough money coming in to pay its debts, and it started falling behind in its loan payments. The board of directors asked Jane to leave in 2011. She received a $200,000 severance on the way out.”
“Five years later, the college collapsed.”
Hey Bernie? Didn’t I hear you berating President Trump because of the failure of his university?
Again…, liberal hypocrisy!
Liberal hypocrisy everywhere.
WINNING!
