This is distracting us from the bigger issue.  Did Bernie Sanders get paid by the tourism ministry of Jordan to mention their country as much as possible during the campaign?

[TempAcc]

On the topic of shit Bernie says, its funny how Bernie loves to focus on some rather strangely off topic things, while at the same time desperately evading actualy pertinent issues.

He was six votes short on the first ballot.

Not entirely sure, but I do have to say checking the federal election commission's list of 2016 presidential candidates is a hell of a thing. Did you know the Antichrist is actually registered as running? Apparently registered as a communist party candidate.

Also it seems like you can't actually sort the contributors by... anything, at least on the site itself. I can only hope that's due to bandwidth limitations and not a conscious design choice. Gonna' take the plunge and look at the CSV, but... well, it's over 25 megs*. May take a while to load. I'll keep an eye out for the jordan tourism ministry, though.

*Sweet blue hell, that was compressed. The full thing clocks in around 435. Bernie's campaign contribution data is almost a half gig in size ;_;

E: Actually, I won't be, as it appears I don't have spreadsheet software on this computer that can actually load that much data in one go :V

E2: Ah, wait, wait, it at least loaded some...

They might be using an alias or sending the money through a proxy.  Look out for donors listed as BroAbdullahTheSecond.

Haha, you linked to the new york daily news article wherein the nydn interviewers demonstrate their lack of familiarity with shit?

Let us dispel with this fiction that Bernie sanders doesn't know what he's doing. Bernie Sanders knows exactly what he's doing.

FTFY.

That.. was extremely not convincing. they didn't have any excuse for his factual errors regarding the numbers and try as they may, they can't travel back through time and try to spin sanders answers into something they were not. and no, your explanation about the numbers simply doesn't hold water because he said killed.

When Sanders says Israel should pull back expansions which he "believe" are illegal, then i would love to see what he is basing those legal claims about.

As for his remarks that Israel's attacks were indiscriminate, according to "most international observers" he fails to mention they were almost none, bar a few pro-palestinian ones. when he says that he believes Israel could have used Drones technology to fight Hamas it's simply pure nonsense. he should have just said i ain't no general and be with it.

I don't think Sanders should have every last detail known to him, nor that he should have extensive military knowledge, but i would expect my president to at least know what he is talking about when he is talking about it.  Let's just say this: if it was totally up for Muslims to fight ISIS, like Sanders believe it should be, ISIS would have gained more territory rather than losing as they are now with Russians, Europeans and Americans all bombing the shit out of them.

Well, I am seeing some contributions from folks in South Jordan... Utah. West Jordan, too. Same state :V

Though, at least in the data I did manage to load, there are a handful of abdullahs. You'll have to load the data yourself if you want to check, though, heh. I really don't have the software for handling sifting through this much data on this computer, apparently.

Explore Campaign Finance is pretty easy to sort through; here's Bernie, Hillary, and Fuckface McClownstick Trump.

[Frumple]

... easy to sort through, but, uh. There's some numbers mismatch. The FEC is listing total contributions for both sanders and clinton at over 200 million each :V

Actually, checking clinton's is... kinda' interesting. FEC has her about on par in total contributions with sanders. A little lower, even. It's almost enough to make someone curious about how these numbers are being gathered...

Is it a website of hard money only?

God bless the Libertarians. Maybe if they're platform shapes up competently I could even vote for them, or at least throw a protest vote their way.
