At Least Biden's Lackadasically-Planned Kick-Off Rally In Pittsburgh Monday Won't Be As Fake As Trump's Was

Writing for the Payday Report yesterday, union activist Mike Elk mentioned that, after a fat-cat Philly fundraiser-in-a-mansion con-sponsored by superrich union buster attorney Steven Cozen to kick off his campaign on Thursday, Status Quo Joe is going to demonstrate how down with the Rust Belt's white working class he is by showing up at a quasi-Potemkin Village version of a rally

Carole Cadwalladr Kicks Facebook's Ass-- The Petri Dish For Trump
