And it is a flat out falsehood to say he didn't sign an multi million dollar book deal and it is ludicrous to say he only has 1.5m in worth when he just bought a house that is worth almost double that alone

Your own article says this and gives a link saying it was for 8 millon dollars

https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/book-deals/article/73268-biden-books-go-to-flatiron.html

Your trying to frame it as if it is rumour and may not exist is pure gaslighting.

PLUS he bought a 2.7 million dollar house with some of the advance money from the book deal.

Joe Biden has snapped up a vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, a spokeswoman has confirmed.

The former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, have expressed a fondness for the Jersey Shore, but it looks like they set their sights a bit further south in the end. They landed on a three-story home at the edge of Cape Henlopen State Park with views of the Atlantic Ocean.

snip

Property records do not yet show how much the home sold for, but it was most recently listed for around $3 million. The property last sold in 2007 for $3.258 million, according to property records.

plus

His Wilmington Delaware other home is worth almost 2 million (1.9 million or so) as well

plus he is raking in $100,000, $200,000 USD per speech, including 200K for a Republican, helping him win a narrow election

It can only be anti Semitic if you know Bernie is Jewish. That is an important ingredient. wasupaloopa May 2019 #17

the magazine is called politico dsc May 2019 #18

If you looked at the picture not knowing Bernie was Jewish you would not think it wasupaloopa May 2019 #23

but they and we know he is dsc May 2019 #24

None of the other candidates centered their campaign, their career attacking millionaires and FreeBe May 2019 #43

so if a piece of NAZI propaganda were to be posted in its original German dsc May 2019 #69

Then why are repeating the unsupported trope that 2+222? LanternWaste May 2019 #112

The article was about BS's millions. There's nothing wrong with the picture. lapucelle May 2019 #26

Complete bullshit comparison. Amimnoch May 2019 #99

Clarity with your two examples of Booker and Buttigieg. Thanks. FreeBe May 2019 #100

People seem to really enjoy this antisemitic piece. Autumn May 2019 #6

Of course it was not. Gallop says 93% would vote for a Jew. Hortensis May 2019 #7

As a Jewish Democrat, I agree with the OP Gothmog May 2019 #8

He didn't make it zentrum May 2019 #118

the money tree is such a classic antisemitic image, I disagree strongly on that score... hlthe2b May 2019 #20

I've never seen it as one before. Igel May 2019 #86

Anti Defamation League (ADL) agrees it was anti-semitic. That's good enough for me. hlthe2b May 2019 #91

"such as those about Jews and wealth." FreeBe May 2019 #101

That is NOT what is being said at all. Here's an example of what Republicans used in last election hlthe2b May 2019 #103

You find RW bigotry, post it and accuse me of supporting it. FreeBe May 2019 #106

the money imagery--one of history's most well known antisemitic tropes are the SAME hlthe2b May 2019 #107

I don't think Political is our friend anymore. aikoaiko May 2019 #32

The media isn't supposed to be anyone's friend. BannonsLiver May 2019 #52

would there be a stink about this if another person was pictured instead of bernie, say trump? nt msongs May 2019 #33

The images were not needed for the article. SouthernProgressive May 2019 #34

I am female. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #48

Excellent analogy. Point on. FreeBe May 2019 #49

Your argument works with the house image. SouthernProgressive May 2019 #50

Money does not grow on trees. For some, I think was the point. FreeBe May 2019 #51

You spell it out very clearly. SouthernProgressive May 2019 #59

No. Your "husband" image doesn't belong in my scenario. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #56

Interesting analogy Vidal May 2019 #66

Jewish Journal recommends and links to the story on its "Best of the Web" tab. lapucelle May 2019 #35

Fascinating Vidal May 2019 #55
