Bernie Sanders Fails To Submit Ethics Committee Financial Disclosures AGAIN

Socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has demonstrated — once again — that he is incapable of submitting basic, required documents describing his personal finances in anything approaching a timely manner.
This time, Sanders has failed to meet a May 15 deadline for turning in an annual report detailing his finances for 2016, according to the Valley News, a New England newspaper.
The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics requires all 100 U.S. senators to file detailed financial disclosures generally cataloging what they own and what they owe each year. Senators must also itemize all the gifts and free trips they have received from private sources.
Sanders, who emphasized government transparency during his 2016 presidential campaign, also completely blew off Senate Ethics Committee financial documentation filing deadlines in 2012, 2014 and 2015.

He is trying to figure out how to hide all that money he got from Hilldog plus the money his wife stole from that college.

Well he didn't have to do any of this while he was jobless living in his parents basement until he was 40. Poor guy isn't used to having all of this money.

Socialism is for the people, not the Socialist!
They can have 3 or more houses and live in luxury because they FEEL so good about helping the little people!
Kind of like Carbon Credits.

He can't remember which house he's stashed his records.

How sad is the state of the Democratic party when this loser got as far as he did?

Sure wish I could effectively pay 13% in taxes. Hell, I wish I had a vacation home.

Taken from Reddit, but pretty much shuts down the Berniebots
To be clear not everything in there is accurate (he did release tax returns and the "anti child porn bill was an attempt to undermine net neutrality that failed by a significant margin).
quote:
Bernie never held a steady job until he was 40, he spent another 30 years in congress with no accomplishments, his policies were throughly debunked as economic nonsense, he headed the VA committee during the scandal, his wife is shady as shite who bankrupted a college and then got a $200,000 golden parachute, he would've raised taxes on everyone, he has some really odd financials (he also didn't release his tax returns during the campaign), he adores the failed socialist government of Venezuela, praised Fidel Castro, said Soviet breadlines were a good thing, participated in anti-American Marxist Sandinista rallies in Nicaragua where where half a million people chanted, “Here, there, everywhere/the Yankee will die.’’
He has a piss poor temperament when being asked to explain himself, he has 0 political allies in the Senate (not even Leahy) which largely explains why he's been an ineffective legislator in his entire career in Congress, he got about 1,000 pages of FCC violations this election, he was really deceptive about endorsements, his own campaign thought he was out of line about Nevada, it leaked that he continued the primary even though he knew it was getting him nothing and just helping Trump, he wanted to use his political capitol to hurt other progressives, he voted to send toxic waste to brown communities, voted for the $1.5 trillion dollar F-35 fighter jet program, voted for the same crime bill that he attacked Hillary Clinton for, voted against Amber Alert, voted against a anti-child pornography bill, he's had some strong anti-science positions, he flirted with nativist crowds and helped kill immigration reform, no one knows what his 2nd amendment policy is.
He spent $700k of campaign contributions to rent a private jet to fly 10 family members to the Vatican for no apparent reason, he wrote rape fantasy fan fiction and other creepy shite regarding naked children, he was kicked out of a hippie commune for not working (how?), he demanded $15/hr minimum wage while paying his interns $12/hr, his free college proposal was just a tax payer handout to upper middle class white kids who were already going to go to college and would have been another tax increase for the working poor, his FTT proposal was tried in Sweden and failed miserably, he can't actually explain specifics like in that disastrous NYDN interview, he's voted for war more often than he hasn't, he was dead wrong about TARP, wrong on free trade, he doesn't understand how the Fed works, and he constantly rails against millionaires and billionaires despite being a wealthy U.S Senator who owns three lake houses.
Oh and his Single Payer pipe dream that he keeps proposing despite GOP efforts to repeal the ACA? That would have easily been used against him by Republicans as a socialist government run healthcare system that will raise everyone's taxes and use tax payer money to pay for abortions which would immediately kill support for it from over half the country and the pro-life crowd. The GOP would have cited the fact that Bernie's home state of Vermont tried Single Payer and it failed because it cost too much so how is it going to work for the entire country? Even liberal economists were hugely skeptical of whether we could afford his plan, not too mention Single Payer might sound great in a stump speech or some meaningless poll with no details of the plan, but when it was actually on the ballot in Colorado in the last election it got rejected by 80% of the voters. Bernie would have lost the popular vote and every swing state in the country. It would have been a McGovern style landslide loss had he became the Democratic nominee.
His wife, Jane is under FBI investigation now.
