In 3... 2... 1...

The Intercept is a pile of steaming poo. There.

to still be steaming?

This is the silliest excuse I've seen yet. He won't release his tax returns because he's protesting the absurd and corrupt trappings of political campaigns? Seriously? If he thinks political campaigns are absurd and corrupt, why is he conducting yet another one? This one made my eyes roll so far that they almost got stuck in the back of my head.

Yeah, right. "I'm not releasing my tax returns because I want to protest the absurdity of political campaigns."

By the way, did you hear that:

My campaign raised the most money in 24 hours from all 50 states
My campaign raised the most money in the first quarter
My campaign got money from a lot of new email addresses
My campaign staff is less white and male than before
My campaign staff unionizes, so that they will have a defense against sexual harassment
We neutered those pesky superdelegates (after first trying to get them to switch sides)
We got more of the youth vote than Trump and Clinton combined (but I'm totally supportive of Hillary, honest)

What a ridiculous piece of excuse making.

will know for sure whether the cat is dead or alive until Bernie opens the box.

What matters is that the cat is still in the box.

Whether there is something embarrassing in the returns or it is simply a matter of stubborn ill-temper, the stance is revelatory concerning a candidate's suitability for the office.

They could be completely ordinary and devoid of problems and are being withheld to protest the absurdity of political campaigns (srsly?), or they could contain something politically damaging. While they're still in the box they're both, and it doesn't help Bernie to keep them in the box because one of the two possibilities is that they contain something politically damaging. Open the box, let's see whether it's one thing or the other.

Such a shame we're stuck in this Universe!!


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

so curmudgeon is a good word.

whether they are politically popular or not.

Anyone viewing the video that I just posted can see that.

I remember when "liberal" was a good word, then people seemed to run away from it, now it's back in vogue.

is unstable just because they said something about your candidate???

How low can you go?



ONLY!!! 2019 and beyond.

except one time that I can remember.

being so sly.. didn't work.

I just found out that Prof. Tribe is a bad lawyer because he has questions about sanders lack of disclosures on a host of issues

I think that Greenwald rag’s defense of sanders is amusing and raises some issues as to Sanders fitness to serve. I really think the the reason for sanders’ refusal to release his tax returns is more likely due to Old Towne Media

Just typical.

There are issues with sanders listening to advisers and in fact sanders decided to hurt Clinton's general election chances due to his inability to listen to advisers.

means mental illness?

If that's the case any candidate that doesn't listen to his handlers on a particular issue must be mentally ill.

Even though Devine said he didn't agree with Bernie, he still respected his opinion.

sanders' stunt in refusing to listen to the advice of his adviser did hurt Clinton in the general election.

Bernie has made a multitude of changes recommended by his advisers from making his 2020 campaign staff much more representative of America by gender and race to speaking about his background.

Having said that Bernie is committed to his core issues which increasingly resonate with the American People.

There is simply no way to tell as to the effect that would've happened had Bernie listened to Tad, it might have been worse.

The book income is in public record already. In case any one is wondering sanders has more than $1 million each of the last two years

There could be as much of $10 million in commissions that went to the owner of Old Towne Media, LLC. I would like to know if Jane Sanders owns an interest

sanders has reported his separate income on his senate reports but the release of sanders tax returns will show if Jane sanders owns Old Towne Media.

is not sound analysis. It is the lamest of excuses.

Interesting this column comes up today when some in this forum are still slamming HRC (who, BTW, is a private citizen) for not releasing speech transcripts.

The double standard will never die, I fear.

pnwmom asked why on this thread and I have wondered why as well and then by chance just googling Bernie's name I found this article.

I have been at the office most of the day and haven't even seen anything about HRC.

Some people need a hobby.

Last cycle, most papers did not vet sanders on policy. One paper did and it was very telling

Link to tweet

nothing. I just wish he would come out and say that.

This is really funny. Russia is doing its best to defend sanders

The part that makes people suspicious of the no votes on sanctions, Old Towne Media, Tad Devine, etc.

I wish he would just prove the suspicions wrong already.

Every day and every excuse puts his campaign one foot deeper in the ground.

"Sanders’s refusal to bend on any issue, no matter how minor, may be endearing to his most passionate supporters, but he’s doing both them and the country a disservice. An unbending approach to minutiae harms not only him, but his movement — and begins to look selfish and entitled. A million people have raised their hands to volunteer to make Sanders president. They deserve more from him."

I don’t get it. He could put the mystery of his 1040s to rest in an instant.

in 2020 it's going to be Greenwald and The Intercept.

More sycophantic court-jesting by the Intercept. Greenwald must be smiling.

… they're on the way! Hopefully there won't be a summary... or redactions... then, the issue can be put to an end.
