The Friends of Bernie Sanders made the payments to the Sanders Institute in two installments of $100,000 in January and March, according to disclosures with the Federal Election Commission.

The senator’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, and stepson, David Driscoll, co-established the think tank and unveiled it publicly in 2017 after Sanders’ insurgent 2016 presidential campaign catapulted him to stardom among progressives.

    I don’t see the relevancy of what you’ve chosen to quote from this article. Unless you’re comparing Sanders campaign donors to Saudi Arabia?

          Stay in your bubble then.

          Being scared of talking and learning from people that don’t agree with what you think is not a good trait to be boastful about.

              Dividing the people and keeping the wealthy, weathy.

              The wealthy class, and those that work for them, has done wonders to our citizens.

              Being proud to not disscus our differences with people that have more in common with us, then with the wealthy.

                There is nothing to discuss with a conservative.

                Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservativea are incapable of entering into discussions in good faith.

                  How are my talking points even close to what you call me.

                  I am closer to a communist then a libertarian.

                  I do not know how you came to that conclusion…

                  Good luck and peace!
