Not quite. I don’t understand these liberals who make horrible, nasty accusations against a conservative poster, demonstrating complete disdain and contempt for conservatives, and then expect that poster to engage. What could possibly be gained from debating with someone like that? They’ve already told you that they think you’re a horrible, selfish human being. Their mind is closed.

Liberals are evil. Did you know that Hitler was a liberal?

All I know is that Hitler was a subhuman monster.

I have no idea where you’re going with this, unless you are trying to say that I think liberals are as bad as Hitler. You’re confused. It is liberals who say that conservatives are Hitler followers, Nazis, whatever, and are making comparisons with concentration camps. I’ve pointed out before how insulting that is to survivors.

Not really. He was rather center right so was Obama. Washington was more left than Hitler...

Our grandkids’ credit card. Don’t worry about it. When they figured out that we maxed out their credit card and just paying the interest takes everything they make we’ll be long gone.

I made nothing up, krichton:

In 2017, [sanders] income was $1.1 million and he gave away $36,300 or 3.15 percent. The year before that he also made more than $1 million but donated $10,600 or less than 1 percent. His income peaked in 2016 and 2017 due to sales of his book, Our Revolution.


https://heavy.com/news/2019/06/berni...e-home-photos/
Bernie Sanders makes a big deal about income disparities in America, but he’s a wealthy man himself: Wealthy enough to afford three houses, that is. In May 2019, Politico Magazine called Sanders, 77, “a three-home-owning millionaire with a net worth approaching at least $2 million.”
This is not what I was calling you out on. I couldn't care less about his donations to charity. In 2011 he gave over 20k, while he was making 174k a year, being a senator. I don't care. None of this has a thing to do with his platform or policy proposals. He wanted a 1% wealth tax on those with 32 million in wealth and a 2% tax on wealth of 50-250 million! And this has somehow been construed to him wanting to take ppl's houses away. I wonder if ppl actually listen to themselves. Could it be there is no real argument here, and therefore creating a strawman filled with hyperbole is simply easier? I think so.

Im not sure if you're aware but there are tons of middle class citizens with over 1 million in net worth, especially those with property, and at Bernie's age. Many are not millionaires. The fact that he owns 3 homes not even totaling more than 2 million is hilarious. This is the example you're going to use to say he's "wealthy?" Sad

Talk about cognitive dissonance. You leftists are just horrible with your hate and animus to people who refer to fall in line under progressivism.
Have you heard of irony? There's no greater example of cognitive dissonance than when the vast majority of republicans pretend that Trump has not committed a single crime or violation while in office. Ditto when it comes to climate change.
