Are we all done talking about Bernie's taxes already?!!?

[rgbecker]

The build up was huuuuugggeee. Then nothing. WTF?

[msongs]

1. since he finally did what he promised to ages ago but avoided its no longer needed nt

[PJMcK]

2. Is there a problem? (n/t)

[madville]

3. They've moved on to Putin helping Bernie in 2016 or

something like that, yawn.

[Hoyt]

4. Just one minor matter out of the way.

[TCJ70]

5. I thought he was supposed to be hiding something big...

...guess not. But don’t worry...the folks pushing that are still convinced he’s the worst despite them being completely wrong...

[emulatorloo]

7. Did the the taxes reveal how much money Jane may have gotten for "ad buys" in 2016?

Was there any solid info in them about the mysterious “Old Towne Media?”

Pardon my ignorance, I have been on a news blackout for about a week.

I like Bernie, but my sense is he isn’t very financially transparent, especially regarding Jane’s income that she may have derived from Bernie’s various campaigns over the years.

Thanks in advance for your help, I would really appreciate hearing your take.

[TCJ70]

14. So now the issue isn't Bernie's taxes...but Janes?

Pardon me while I get my running shoes on so I can chase the goalposts...

[pnwmom]

16. The questions about Old Towne Media would be a campaign issue that affected both of them. n/t

[emulatorloo]

23. Yes, and it can't really be handwaved away like this.

People asking legit questions aren’t bad guys/women.

[emulatorloo]

22. They are married, TCJ. My wife and I are married and we file jointly n/t

[sheshe2]

30. It is a fair question.

Jane was a paid member of his 2016 and past campaigns.

snip

“Bernie’s top adviser always has been and will continue to be Jane,” said Jeff Weaver, a Sanders adviser. She has a voice in almost every major political decision her husband makes, travels with him for major events and is deeply involved in formulating policies, issues and campaign infrastructure. “At every level,” Weaver said, “Jane is intimately involved.”

18. ?????

le sigh.

[rgbecker]

24. Apparently Klobuchar used "Old Towne Media" also......Plot thickens.

29. Fair question.

She was a paid member of his campaign and not just his wife.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

19. Since when has being wrong stopped them from moving on to being wrong again about something else!

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

[Hassin Bin Sober]

6. Top men are working on the taxes looking for irregularities

[LongtimeAZDem]

8. Sanders' fans keep talking about it, but the rest of us are just ok with the fact that he finally

kept his word.

It took three years and having to compare him to Trump, but he finally kept his word.

[vsrazdem]

17. Yes, why bring it up again, I thought it was finally over.

[redstateblues]

9. We were until you brought it up

[SMC22307]

10. Yeah, it was rather anti-climactic.

Figured DU would be buzzin' for a lonnnng time over the damn taxes.

[SFnomad]

11. It depends on how many more times BS supporters post about it and pat him on the back

for doing something he should have done 3+ years ago.

[leftofcool]

12. Can I just say say I don't care about his taxes or about him?

[MustLoveBeagles]

13. Not all of us have commented about it

I haven't until now. But since you asked, I'm glad he finally released them.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

20. I'm glad too...it was a deal breaker for me if he didn't. BTW, Iove beagles too...such sweet dogs!!

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

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. Beagles rule!

[TwilightZone]

15. There were a couple of dozen threads the first couple days.

You could probably find them if you wanted to know what was being discussed.

[BooScout]

21. Naaaah...

We just found out how he became a best selling author. We're just following the $$$'s.

[brooklynite]

25. Can I assume then that any issue that's already been discussed for any candidate should be dropped?

[stonecutter357]

26. millionaires and billionaires !

[WeekiWater]

27. I've seen a number of posts about it since he released them.

Mostly from his supporters highlighting his one percent status. Did you have something to say about them.

With respect to his finances, I think it seems to have moved to his campaign purchasing almost half a million dollars worth of his books followed up by his extensions on his next report ending in him not having to file. There is a serious lack of transparency. Thanks for bringing it up.

28. im just glad everyones playing on the same field now..
