Although Mike Bloomberg was generally a bust at the Democrat debate, with his reptilian, condescending air, he landed a couple of the debate’s best shots, with Bernie as his target. The one that landed hardest was his point about Bernie being a total hypocrite for selling socialism to the masses while being a millionaire himself.

And then like many socialist-commie lefties Bernie went to work for the government and became a millionaire.
Just like Stalin...Bernie has his Dashas.
People forget Bern made money writing porn, I wonder if he reported that income to the IRS?
Beat me to it!
Does Comrade Bernie have a security clearance? Back in my time (the OLD days) there would be NO WAY a commie could get a clearance, but of course that was long before slick willie and the kenyan usurper.
Really? I never heard this.
Not to mention the moscow honeymoon.
Socialism means the government takes all the money you “don’t need.” So you’re poor, and the government amasses all the money. Having all that money, it gleefully spends it on government officials, who then live high off the hog, have three mansions, and push for more socialism.
Socialism for thee, cornucopia for me.
Bernie Sanders: And like thousands of other Vermonters, I do have a summer camp. Forgive me for that.
What Sanders glossed over was how very nice his houses are and how he funded that lovely little “summer camp.” Indeed, with the phrase summer camp, Bernie managed to imply that the last named is a tent with a couple of cots, rather than a $575,000 lakefront cabin with a guest cottage.
His summer camp is nicer than most middle class homes that supporters live in.
Yes, the Commissars must have their dachas..............
The “summer camp” quote is really important.
It is a great example of the sociopath using words that have a common understanding (small, modest place) to deceive the listener.
That was a quick response, which means that for Sanders _lying_ is on auto-pilot.
This is what lefty politicians do.
The debate was excellent, because the “virtue” masks were ripped off these dangerous and insane people.
Orwell said it best: “Some pigs are more equal than others.”
The amazing thing is how little he had to do achieve such wealth. His “accomplishments” in office are de minimis.
Just get elected and ride the wave. Its no wonder he and other politicians fight so hard to sty in DC.
Yes, quite revealing. Like mini-mike saying he paid out millions in settlements and "silence" contracts because of a little "joke" they didn't like.
socialism = aristocratic privilege for leaders + court society for favorites.
Wikipedia: “The Sanskrit term “Dasha” in Hindu astrology is used to indicate planetary periods. The planetary periods indicate when the good or bad effects are produced according to their placement by sign (Rasi), house (Bhava), combinations (Yoga)...”
I see your point. Bernie and astrology.
Real or fake? Who knows. But it’s a fact that Beto wrote about his fantasies of running over little kids. So, it’s not hard to imagine Sanders doing the something similar. It might have been the only real job he ever had.

The People’s Bank Bernie bank fraud is a classic example of how politics works.
Bernie’s wife submitted fraudulent documents to obtain a multi-million dollar loan for the college she ran.
When the bank saw through the fraud and indicated they were going to deny the loan they received a phone call from Bernie’s office reminding them who Bernie was and what he could do to them (through bank regulators).
That was threats and extortion—clear criminal acts.
The bank relented and gave Jane the loan—which of course she defaulted on—so the bank took the loss.
Sanders is a common criminal. Period.
I had a tent when I was a kid. I think it cost 20 bucks. So maybe Bernie has a $600,000 tent?
