LOLOLOLOL Bernie

I'm old enough to remember when Bernie Sanders thought millionaires (and billionaires!) were the scourge of this country. https://t.co/nnHc85zBnz

Apart from the fact that Bernie Sanders is just casually disclosing he's a millionaire now, because he wrote "a best-selling book," as though he didn't spend the entire 2016 primary railing against millionaires (and billionaires!), this is some real bootstraps bullshit: "If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too."

OKAY TERRIFIC IDEA BERNIE. A+

Never mind that most people lack the talent to write a best-selling book, and many people who have the talent will never have the opportunity, and plenty of people who have written best-selling books, sometimes a number of them, aren't actually millionaires, because publishing generally doesn't work that way.

This fucking guy. Good grief.

Look, I don't give a fuck if Bernie Sanders is a millionaire. (To be honest, I've always assumed he was a millionaire.) What I do care about a great deal, however, is the fact that he consistently fails to hold himself to the same standards he encourages his supporters to hold other people.

And I have no earthly idea why they continue to move the goalposts to accommodate this guy, who is a transparent phony that continually makes a mockery of their belief in him.
