Did you see that Sen. Bernie Sanders released his income taxes?....well, his 2014 income taxes, anyway. He did it around 7 p.m. on a Friday night, on the same day that the Democratic presidential hopeful was making international headlines by speaking at the Vatican and meeting Pope Francis, for at least a handshake. In journalism, releasing information at that off hour is what we call "a Friday news dump" -- usually an attempt to bury bad news. That's weird, because if I were handling PR for the Bernie Sanders campaign, I'd be shouting the news from the Green Mountain-tops. They return showed that Sanders and Jane, his wife, earned $205,271 -- a comfortable enough living for a man who couldn't afford the rent 40 years ago but then clawed his way to the United States Senate. In other words, Sanders made less for a year of exhausting work on Capitol Hill than his primary opponent, Hillary Clinton, earned from ONE SPEECH that she delivered to the massive vampire squid of global capitalism, Goldman Sachs, which paid her a cool $225,000 for a 45-minute job of a speech, a fee that was paid to the once and would-be future White House resident on three separate occasions. (Because, as Hillary shrugged in a 2015 debate, "that's what they offered.") That's not all. In 2014, Hillary and her ex-president husband Bill Clinton earned just over $28 million, or a whopping 135 times as much as the Sanders household. Their income that year came from giving speeches ($10.5 million for Hillary Clinton, $9.8 million for Bill) and $6.4 million in consulting (or as USA Today called it, "consulting") by the former president. Also known as trading on their political clout as once and possibly future leaders of the United States of America.

Looks like a square hit on Hillary from the left. Why can’t I hire them to destroy each other and let conservatives pay me for prime seats?
There isn’t a sane person alive who doesn’t know that Hillary is a greedy lying criminal. Even her die-hard storm troopers like Susan Estrogen know she’s criminal scum, but they don’t care. Leftists have no shame. I dare there Hillary supporters to take a lie detector test and say they think Hillary is honest.
Power whores, the lot. Yuck!

Jetsons Ping!
One thing you got say about Hill and Bill is they are not your average purse snatcher. They don’t mind selling their country out and putting us all in danger. If they were purse snatchers it would have to be a hell of a big purse to hold their loot.
But, at the end of the day, they are good democRATS and will vote for her in the general election. IMO, the right, has its head up its back side and will pitch a fit and not vote if ""their guy"" isn't conservative enough. If we have not learned that from the last 2 elections, we are in a world of hurt, because with her as president the U.S. is doomed.
I agree completely. All this “I won’t vote for Cruz/Trump if Cruz/Trump isn’t nominated” is what gave us 8 years of Obama.
So we can count you to give Hillary 1/2 a vote if Trump wins.
That’s an extremely stupid statement. What exactly does that mean, anyway? I intend to vote for the GOP candidate, no matter who it is. Are you one of the stay-at-home crybabies that gave us Obama?
