Intentionally concealing the death of a U.S. senator to manipulate legislative business or the succession process could expose those involved to serious federal criminal charges. No one gets to hide a death for political gain.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

Disney is laying off hundreds of people at its wildly successful Pixar Studios. But Disney also plans to spend $8 billion this year to buy back its own stock. Corporations don’t care about workers, they just focus on making executives richer.

But the moment Trump stepped into it, no one was going to root for them. That’s just the way it is. It’s not even the first questionable decision by FIFA because we all know Ronaldo shouldn’t be playing. For multiple reasons. So it’s mostly Trump. Once again ruining everything he touches.
