1. Oh the irony of a think-tank that doesn't think !

2. The institute has a $500k budget. Jane's Son's salary is $100k and...

2 other employees are paid $75k a piece. Looks like the other half (WTF!) of the budget produced this:

In a June 2017 interview with USA Today, Jane Sanders said the institute would be producing and distributing “original content,” yet the organization’s website is largely filled with recycled work. In its first year, the group has released just four press releases, three of which were released in its first month of existence.

Under the organization’s “Research and Reports” section of its website, there are 18 posts, 16 of which are reposted from other sources, including from federal agencies and institute fellows. The remaining two posts are authored by Sanders Institute staffers. One is a breakdown of how citizens can contact their elected representatives; the text of the other — entitled A Freedom Budget For All Americans — is attributed to Wikipedia.

3. Wow, thanks for the detail. So a half a million bucks for THAT?

4. Certainly not good optics.

Half the money went to salaries for 3 people, one of them Jane's son, and virtually no "original content." I wonder what these people do all day?

6. So what though?

It’s not my money, or yours I’m guessing.

People give money to all kinds of goofy things.

It’s still a free country. Mostly.

7. So what though...

It isn't as if this guy consistently presents himself as somehow different and better than the alternatives. You know, the way all politicians do...

It isn't as if he ever criticized others (for less reason) in similar situations...

Oh wait a second...

I seem to remember his insinuation that the Clinton Foundation was another symptom of the corrupt status quo and that Hillary's association with her OWN CHARITY was "Troubling"

"People give money to all kinds of goofy things" is sorta great as a defense tho

9. What qualifications does Jane's son have?
