Breaking News! Politicians lie. I'm shocked.
You are conflating Democrat with liberalI don't know how much respect for me you had before nor how much you have for me now.
I am an American. I studied American history at length in my university days and have followed that up with extensive readings. I am claiming to be neither omniscient nor infallible in that field. So if you would like to correct me, please do so with historical arguments and not vague ad hominems. Which of my factual claims do you dispute and on what grounds?
Also, raising minimum wage will bring the era of robots taking over uneducated dumb shits' jobs sooner. No one will pay a human being to be an oversized paper weight.
Are you familiar with previous cases in this area?I will account belt anyone with at least 5000 posts, that Sanders wife is never charged.

there probably arent many situations to draw from with colleges specifically.
from what i hear there is already a witness that is ready for a counter argument to what jane has said (that the witness said)
and you combine that with millions of dollars + a collapse of a college that points to jane settling for a lesser charge at minimum.
But it's bernie! The supposed savior of the U.S!Breaking News! Politicians lie. I'm shocked.
Yes, the cuck bitch who tells us what is morally evil and how the system is rigged is alleged to try to persuade banks to give his wife loans based on false information.
If you remember the college mrs sanders was president of went out of business because commies are such good business men.

Bernie Sanders has dismissed accusations that his wife Jane had committed fraud in obtaining bank loans for the now defunct Burlington College and Sanders’ Senate office had stepped in to help, calling the accusations “nonsense,” and blaming it on Donald Trump’s campaign manager in Vermont.
Cue the FBI, according to VTDigger, an online publication, according to Politico, which has an in-depth article about Jane Sanders’ alleged malfeasance. Although Brady Toensing, an attorney who chaired Trump’s Vermont campaign, had indeed asked for an investigation in January 2016 with a letter to the U.S. attorney for Vermont, he told Politico Magazine, “The investigation was started more than a year ago under President Obama, his Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and his United States Attorney, all of whom are Democrats.”
Now Sanders is worried, with the FBI and President Donald Trump’s Justice Department on his trail. As Politico Magazine reports, Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ longtime top political adviser, confirmed Sanders and his wife have retained high-powered lawyers to represent Jane Sanders, including Larry Robbins, who represented I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and former Rep. Bill Jefferson.
On January 10, 2016, the U.S. attorney for Vermont received a “Request for an Investigation into Apparent Federal Bank Fraud.” The four-page letter said that when she was president of Burlington College, Jane Sanders had “orchestrated” the purchase of 33 acres along Lake Champlain in Burlington to expand the school, where her husband had served as mayor. The letter alleged that Jane Sanders had lied and inflated nearly $2 million she said donors had pledged to repay in order for her to secure a $10 million loan. The letter stated that she “successfully and intentionally engaged in a fraudulent scheme to actively conceal and misrepresent material facts from a federal financial institution,” asking for a federal investigation into potential bank fraud.
A second letter to federal prosecutors alleged that Bernie Sanders’ office had pressured the bank to approve the loan application submitted by his wife.
Now the FBI is investigating whether Bernie Sanders tried to help his wife with one of the loans.
Burlington College past president Carol Moore told Vermont Public Radio, “I was contacted and spoke with an FBI agent numerous times last spring, again last summer, recently, maybe a month ago.”
Weaver told Politico Magazine that any claim that Sanders intervened in a loan request was “ridiculous” and “false.”

from the article:
Bernie Sanders probe proves FBI really is in tatters
- The FBI probe of Jane Sanders, wife of Senator Bernie Sanders, is reportedly still ongoing.
- The enduring probe is the latest example of the growing politicization of the FBI and other federal agencies.
- The government's overall credibility is suffering its worst crisis in decades.
Honestly this is definitely the most worrying aspect of the current political climate in the US for me, the degree to which law enforcement/intelligence has been politicised. Although I suspect that actually its actually something that's been building up for a very long time and needed an unsettled period to become much more apparent.
