Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.
It's all there.
He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.
Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

After 20 years, I've been laid off at The Washington Post.

I’ve Been Laid Off. I’m Not Done.
After 20 years at The Washington Post, I’m suddenly on my own — and still writing about books.

"Must remain in seats for entirety of film" like it's a haunted house that gives you $50 if you make it all the way through without screaming
Sales of tickets to watch 'Melania' in Boston are so disastrous that they'll now pay you $50 to sit though it. From Craigslist:
