This is an uncanny comparison to point that I feel that someone (either Rowling, Columbus or Branagh) was channeling some Trump here.
This is just one of those cases where The Onion beat the GOP to the punch.

Scott Walker saying dumb shit on a conservative talk show about the GOP congressmen who opposed the national emergency declaration got him thrown out of a GOP event , here's a fun one
Doesn't really seem to be true. Beto still is getting large turnout at his events. He's also avoiding media and Pete is relishing in it getting booked on every show under the sun because the media is having a love affair with him. In fact he will be on Maddow tonight.
I should have clarified, the media momentum is what I meant. But he's got buttmentum in the polls too, getting higher than Beto in several recently.
I don't know. That color palette is the opposite of fabulous.
The polls are basically name recognition at this point so when 1 candidate is getting all the media attention that's going to happen. It will be interesting to see if that media love he's getting now turns into long term success in the primaries. I think he has a real shot of out raising Beto and Bernie this quarter if he keeps getting attention. His $1 million raised in a few hours after announcing yesterday was a strong statement

Because he's stingy as fuck with charity (though not as bad as Kamala)?
None have passed a bill yet, but 18 states are considering it.
Maybe its me but I will give candidates props for giving to charities but I'm not going to dock them points for not giving a lot as long as they've been fighting for the poor, working class, underprivileged people, etc. That obviously describes Bernie so...shrug?
oops
I honestly could not give less of a shit about Bernie's tax returns, unless something legitimately shady pops up. Him being stingy with charity is whatever, but I wasn't voting for him anyway.
Nonsense, doing things doesn't matter, donating a nebulous sum of capital towards an organization that likely isn't making any real substantive difference compared to direct action is clearly more important.
Charity is also not a substitute for actual structural change to address things like poverty, hunger, and so on. I agree, I would much rather have a candidate who had the right policy stances but wasn't charitable personally versus someone who gave freely to charity but didn't have those same stances.
Based on some of the replies here Bill Gates would be the most deserving Presidential Candidate of all time.
Given that the first question was from a "student" who was not identified as the campus coordinator for conservative group Turning Point USA, you can probably safely skip it
whoops looks like Teggy covered that
Eh it's pretty solid so far, some good answers to very leading questions.
There was a statement I read somewhere that wealthy charity donors only do so as an effort to absolve the sins of their exploits.
Now, I can't note the motive of all charity donors and workers but its also undeniably true that the obscenely wealthy didn't get where they are without stepping on some toes.
Seems legit.
This would only check out if Bernard's wife and stepson weren't part of a sketchy charity themselves in the recent past that spent over 20% of its income on paying Bernard's stepson.
So spare me, Berniebros who don't even post in this thread.
I didn't say anything of the sort. Don't put words in my mouth.
Y'all are really trying to get on my ignore list aren't you
I need to post in this thread religiously to have an opinion on something?
Good lord.
The point, is that Bernie Sanders falls perfectly in line with general population charitable income donated.

2.5-3% is the average. This is a non-issue. Just something else to harp on because the taxes ended up not being your profound "gotcha" moment.
This is childish.
I wasn't aware there was a posting threshold that had to be met to post an opinion here.
No, but funny how you and others only pop in to defend Bernard. This is your first post in this thread of over 2000 posts total.
We see you.
David Schweikert, who is under investigation by House Ethics, still owes a quarter million, mostly in legal fees

The average charitable donation is 2.5-3%
This is a non-story, I popped in because I had an opinion to share.
This is a political thread, I have a political belief.
Get over it. This is a discussion forum, we discuss things.
Then pass the GoGurt and don't let me catch your ass wandering around during nap time.
What?
Like, what? Is this supposed to be some "sick burn"? I literally don't understand what you're trying to say.
The average person makes well under $561k in income.
Putting you on ignore. Will be doing the same to all Bernardbros who want to come in here and only contribute to defend Bernard without providing anything else substantive to this community.
That's the average donation overall meaning for those with less income they still contribute 2-3%
