The billionaire hedge fund manager ... called the news website’s executive editor John Cook an anti-Zionist who targeted his wife for being Israeli.
There it is, this is what Israeli influence looks like. We have to root it out of America so we aren't beholden to a nation committing genocide.
Best we can do is bypass congress to sell them more weapons.
Can we also give them couple billion $ to pay for those weapons?
Why of course. Israel can have universal health care too while Americans use the vastly superior GoFundMe system.
“You see when you’re a billionaire you get to attack everyone, but your own hypocrisy cannot be questioned. I mean, if we started really looking at the crimes billionaires commit every day, people might want things to change.”
Said the crooked billionaire who makes everyone’s lives miserable and kills the planet because he wants an extra zero on his net wealth.
To be fair an extra zero on his wealth is a lot. An extra zero on mine is the same number
The code of the road:
He doesn't give a shit about Israel. He just used that as an avenue to attack the editor because his wife is Israeli.
This guy is a billionaire hedge fund manager. If nuking Israel was better for his bottom line, he'd be all for it. Same with slaughtering every single Palestinian. He doesn't care. If he cared, he wouldn't be a billionaire hedge fund manager.
I'm not sure that's right to say he doesn't care.
Ackman and his wife have been on a crusade to root out pro-Palestinian voices at Harvard as part of Ackmans personal vendetta against Dr. Claudina Gay and Harvard itself.

Rules for thee...
Bill Ackman is a hypocritical coward.
Dudes worth billions and still managed to humiliate his wife by being g too online for his own good.
that guy can't possibly walk around in public feeling safe.
not without some other people paid a lot to be near him a lot to make him feel safe.
that must kinda suck.
Why would he walk in public? Did he run out of country clubs, golf courts and private beaches?
The reason we haven't had a redo of the French revolution, despite having a more fucked up tax system and higher economic disparities, is because the massively rich wised up. They don't go in public very much.
Private parties, private clubs, etc. if they do anything in public, it's a minimum of several hundred dollars per person so that normies can't afford to even look that direction.
The reason we haven’t had a redo of the French revolution, despite having a more fucked up tax system and higher economic disparities, is because the massively rich wised up. They don’t go in public very much.
That's not why. It's because of 2 things.
1: the average person doesn't agree with you about murdering a bunch of people
2: mob rule is stupid and the French revolution gave rise to a literal emperor.
