For second year, Sanders earns more than $1M
https://vtdigger.org/2018/06/22/second-year-sanders-earns-1m/A recent financial disclosure report shows the junior Vermont senator made nearly $1.06 million in 2017. Most of his income — $885,767 — came from advances and royalties, according to the report filed in May.
Sanders earned $174,000 for his service in the Senate.
The senator hit the $1 million mark for the first time in 2016. Most of his income came from a book deal “Our Revolution,” which came out after his failed bid for the Democratic nomination for president.
Sanders, an independent, historically has been among the least wealthy members of Congress. In 2014, for example, he earned little more than his congressional salary and had $330,000 in assets.
The 2016 presidential bid catapulted him to national prominence and paved the way for lucrative public speaking and publishing opportunities.

no broader message he had except for book royalties, but we know differently. Do you think his whole campaign was about book royalties? Please provide a link that shows his rallies were about book royalties, thanks. 
My post 66 from yesterday:
"If you paint one person as corrupt because you imply she is profiting from holding office, but you don't hold another person accountable for the same thing--especially after the whole ethos of someone's popularity is implying others are corrupt, then that is a double standard. This is not hard. Like the Republican's "family values" ruse. Gingrich types cheating on their wives but claiming only they have family values. This is not hard."
the exact words, I hereby condemn Clinton's book royalties, then nothing about his message matters. But that wasn't his message, was it. Explain in detail how you view Bernie's message. It is about book royalties?
BTW, you can Google for the info and it is readily available. I just did. You can too. Google Chicago Tribune Clinton discloses book royalties and you'll see an article. You can Google all day, for that matter. Post your findings here...
the charity info! They are also a requirement for those who demand transparency from other candidates, no excuses.
know them well. Talk about grasping at straws. 
I can't believe this shit is still going on.
Anyway, Bin Sober, if I keep on drinking this mint julep I made with mint from out back and Bulleit 10 year Bourbon, I ain;t going to be so sober tonight..
You know Frankenstein is a fictional character, yes?
It’s from a film you probably saw in the theater as a kid.
These aren’t real either

It is about hypocrisy.
The goalposts are quite movable. Too bad they weren't so for Iceland earlier today. 
Hmm hmm hmm ..
"He condemns the unfairness of the system that benefits them so completely"
Until he is one too.
From Dark Money Pac, to hiding taxes
That's the real bull shit .
No wonder he's now only condemning billionaires.
Until he becomes one, that is.
Cha ching.."money & media"..bernie's own words. He told us.
Pretty sure a nurse in California will pay him a giant salary.
Until he became one.
Now its just 'billionaires'...
how he dwells on the cliché and superficial trappings of billionaires as being the evil bad things, yet ignores the Russian billionaires/oligarchs who are infiltrating our government, influencing our policies, positioning to raid our coffers with the help of the GOP, have pending indictments over actual and provably criminal methods of attacking our elections......ETC. 
Or was it the bourbon?
Anyway.....
This is why violence against women and children is treated so nonchalantly these days. It's beyond belief that some have no qualms about it and seemingly joke about it.
Being thrown to her death?!? Seriously?
The Monster threw her 2 feet from the fucking shore of the lake!!!
Frankly I think there are entirely too many people on this board who simply can not fucking wait to find the next stupid ass, innocuous, banal thing to be offended by and that gives them yet another chance to wag their school marm fingers at the offending party.
Jesus Hortensis Christ on a lakefront throwing daisy's. Fuck me sideways, but this board is getting tedious.
Did anyway and won! The reason why DU has lost so many great writers, thinkers, posters and just decent liberals over the last few years is because of disruptors who hate Democrats/liberals. Everybody knows this. The excuse that they were driven away by politically correct liberals is ....
No, the monster is not missing compassion and/or understanding. The monster is all too human. Read the novel.
From the TCM synopsis of the plot:
As the wedding of Elizabeth and Henry is celebrated, the monster drowns Little Maria, a village child who plays with him, then menaces Elizabeth. Ludwig, Maria's father, carries his daughter's body into town, and an angry search party is formed.

Of course, in Mary Shelley's book no drowning of a little girl occurs because the entire episode itself never occurs. That's why "literary explanations" are irrelevant at best.
Anyone interested in old movies should check out TCM. It's a treasure trove.
nicely done
What is he hiding?
It's a Vermont paper. You should read Jeff Weaver's sidestep, lol. It is similar to some responses in this thread. 
So can he trust himself? Will others? 
to have it both ways. He wants to claim to be doing something, just not in front of those who might call out his hypocrisy for his former statements about "identity politics". Slick move, if you can get away with it.
for disliking identity politics, so keeping on the right side of their issues may explain some of it, which may be about immigrants taking their jobs. I recall Sanders talking to Lou Dobbs, where they were concerned about that very issue. Can’t link from my phone now, but the video is easily findable. Agreed about your last sentence!
Looks like people will be wanting some more accountability. 
knows him.
RB, Mahalo!
Yes, Gary really nailed it. 
Some might say that he earned his pay. I would not be among them.
him by buying his book. I'll buy any book he wants to write.
given Bernie the same treatment. So no it doesn't. It falls completely flat -- double standards and all.
He is not the the only politician on the Dems side to make a million in a year. That was my comment to the OP and I have no interest in where you want to take your conversation. Cool!
What is the status of the 45 left behind? 
Yes there are urgent issues today.
I'm sending this pic to everyon on MSM.
They all failed to protect this country, these immigrants, our allies, us.
I hope their stepping headfirst into the border crises now will help salvage America in the coming midterm election because it is over if we fail to give full power to the Dems.
Its the minimum they can do for their blatant incompetance of 2016.
This thread isn't dividing anyone. It's pointing out a fact about politicians.
Yes, With a Nazi in the WH there should be no one campaigning against anyone but the Republicans this fall.
NO ONE.
As I see it anyway.
You may view the thread differently however.
Nobody is "obsessively attacking" Bernie. Nobody is "smearing" Bernie.
All I'm saying is that it's completely fair to talk about him and criticize and point out any inconsistencies and hypocritical statements (or word games) for ANY politician. Besides, the thread is still here. If it's still active after all this time, it's not what you claim it is.
Here's the thing: and I see it here all the time... some of our most ardent and steadfast and loyal Democratic leaders are brutally attacked, and our party is smeared by so-called "allies" who say it's "feeble" and "corrupt" and "ideologically bankrupt". I see honorable Democrats like Harris, Franken, Feinstein, Pelosi being raked over the hot coals. Why is it, then, that gentle criticism or probing questions about Bernie are met with such howls of outrage? Why should any politician get special treatment?
and she actually won. The hypocritical and superficial attacks on her from the Sarandonites, the FBI, the RWers, and a foreign attack from Russia will all be on notice this time.
Yippee Hillary 2020 !!!!l!!
If anything, she’ll be calling out how the Russian’s attacked our election. And the FBI, the Sarandinites AND the GOP.
