Same here. Journalists and editors for daily outlets are taught never to use two words when one will do, and they’ve spent the last three years forcing themselves to break that rule out of a supposed “respect” for the offices held by these scumbags.

Well, they have to tell “both sides” of the story and give everyone the same hearing, or else it’s not really democratic now, is it! /s

On top of being a Qbot, she’s apparently also a 9/11 truther.

He knows those are shoulder pads, right? I mean, Nanci Pelosi had shoulders that broad in the ‘80s.

Also, she literally just moved to that district in the Spring to run for that seat. I don’t think she believes any of this… she just wants to get a seat in Congress.

The only thing she loves or values in this world is power. Anyone she attaches to in her life is simply a pawn to feed her addiction to it.
I feel like this would be the more pertinent headline.

Considering she married the modern-day Goebbels, I think your headline goes without saying, but a YOLO tattoo on her lip got me to click.

Hmph. Another far right mega-trust with a timebomb to prevent heirs from going all weak, liberal and humanitarian like the Ford Foundation did.
In the case of the Searle Freedom Trust, though, the money won’t keep flowing forever. Searle stipulated before his death that the trust must “spend itself out of existence” by 2025—his way of making sure that it wouldn’t end up in the hands of a later generation that didn’t share his values and that might change the trust’s mission to one that he wouldn’t have approved of. (This is a major fear of many conservative philanthropists, and rightly so, given that their heirs are often more liberal, as are professional philanthropoids.)
On the plus side, it’ll die in 2025. On the minus, with the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few, there will be another to replace it soon enough.

The State Policy Network doesn’t just funnel cash and model legislation, it’s also a ladder for the ideologically correct climbers.
SPN think tanks do more than merely pepper politicians with briefings and a barrage of policy recommendations; they also serve as a farm team for the GOP. Reps. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Mike Pence (R-Ind.) and former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) all ran SPN think tanks before entering Congress. Following his election in 1994, Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, a Republican, “hired almost everybody” (PDF) out of SPN’s Pioneer Institute in Massachusetts, according to an SPN official.

If I could like it a second time for the use of the word “philanthropoids”, I would.

I think they find success because many people feel their unions have sold them out and do not represent their interests. Re-organizing a new union is about as impossible as creating new ones in the old days. You’re at odds with both the business and the current union. Changing them from within seems impossible as well, with their political structure.
The last union job I had, there was no perceptible benefit. Minimum wage employees were the norm, the health insurance was barely affordable and had poor coverage. They did offer representation for people injured or unfairly fired, but existing there seemed no better than without a union.

Imagine if you will, Shapiro trying to sound sexy with that Dave Chapelle-style white guy voice. LOL.
