I'm so tired of the rich just controlling everything with just money. They aren't smart or special, they just have enough mammon juice to inject in whatever they want.

"Awful person, who trump awarded a medal to (who doesn't deserve it just like all the other times he awarded medals to shit people), vows to spend an enormous amount of money that she didn't earn or deserve to do awful things that will lead America to destruction."
I'm having fun creating factual headlines for these shit people's actions.
Keep up the good work :)
Edit: avoiding words like slammed already makes your headlines better than most of "professional" headlines
"Known ghoul, prepares to slam all of America in the butt"
With a tiny bit of work this could probably be turned into a Chuck Tingle title.
What if, just hear me out here, Biden and Trump go full on WWE during the debate?
Make it pay-per-view and we could wipe out the national debt.
I like the way you think.
AIPAC and Israel aren't on either party's side.
If they get both pro-Israel candidates to win their primary, they give zero shits who wins the general.
They don't have the Dem party's best interest at heart, and it's fucking sickening our party leadership is fine with a foreign country influencing our elections at a fundamental level (who the general candidates are) just because the party leadership take the dirty money too.
I'm never voting for anyone that takes AIPAC money, I don't care if it's president or dog catcher. If they want my vote they can't take money from a foreign government especially when that government is openly committing a genocide and the people taking the money deny it.
If we don't have standards, we're just as bad as Republicans taking Russian money funneled thru the NRA.
Sheldon Adelson’s widow. Just say that, NYT we know who he was.
I just learned about these fuckwads from this article. So no, saying that would not work.
“Sheldon Adelson’s Widow Has $100 Million Dollar Plan to Elect Trump” is the same article with none of the ridiculous forced drama of the “Who is this mysterious woman???” Which is just clickbait.
Hell it’s in the URL even - there’s just skeezy reasons for that headline being what it is.
Oligarch, Wealth Horder, ASSet Goblin...so many better terms
I’m sure she will be thrilled to meet the fine people on both sides of Charlottesville!
She's worse than her husband.
How sad
What a waste of money. Think of all the good things that could be done with $100 million.
