After losing to Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders is back to his day job as a US Senator for Vermont.
Sanders campaigned against the 1%, promising to bring America closer to his Democratic Socialist ideal and to take corporations and rich people down a peg or two.

Sheet! *I* would’ve changed my affiliation to ‘D’ and run against The Beast if I knew my payout was going to be that big!
For someone who has never held a job, Bernie is living’ the sweet life!
I hate these people. Absolutely loathe them.
Luckily, they’ve all sold their souls, and Karma is going to be a beotch in the end. :)
Did the Clintoons write the check or did they funnel the money for this luxury vacation home to Bernie?
I wonder if all the MSM will be talkin’ bout dis?
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Libtards are so gullible, and stupid.
So the Clinton Foundation is really helping the Vermont economy out here, right? Lovely.
Bernie ought to vacation his socialist paradise of Venezuela. While he’s there, he can show them where they went wrong.
Typical lefty: Never held a real job and makes a killing fleecing the little guy.
Bernie buys a $600k house and some folks are upset?
Hilliary has shaken down over $2 BILLION in reported “contributions” to her corrupt campaign and her ‘family foundation’ that pays out less than 4 percent to anyone outside her household
and the article is written about old Bernie’s little house instead?
THE MASS MEDIA IS COVERING UP FOR HILLIARY 24/7! Its Pravda for the Amerikan sheeple....
Will the Burn be sharing with every who stops by for a month?
Nobody ever leaves Washington DC “broke” ....other than the Clintoons of course

Wow. Such hypocrisy.
Shouldn’t he be living in a tent like the Occupy movement did?
‘nuff said.’
Leon Trotsky says...No Refunds!
I’d have to think all 3 of Burney’s combined still put him in the bottom 20% of real estate holdings of Senators.
Just a guess.
$600,000 is a very, very, very tiny house or in a very bad neighborhood.
$82 million in ad buys that a company his wife has worked at gets 15% commissions = $12 million. Skim some of that and the ‘socialist’ now own 3 homes.
Where’s the sarc tag? $600,000 gimme a break!
“Do as I say, not as I do.”
Bernie - why didn’t you give the $600k to someone who actually needs it? Kind of like what you want to do with MY money. What a lying, devious, diabolical socialist you are. Disgusting.
