It’s a list of ‘best sellers’ among books approved by the Woke.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out people are paying to get their crap on the “best sellers lists.” The Return of Payola.

The people who want to buy him buy a few million copies of Obama's "book," as a school donation, deducts the cost as a charitable donation and stashes them in a cargo container, for shipment overseas, to be pulped.

Would love to know how much the briber actually ends up paying per book in these arrangements. Can’t imagine the briber pays the list price. I can only guess it would be something like actual cost to the publisher plus the agreed upon bribe amount.

So, if a book lists for $29.95, I wonder what a briber actually ends up paying per book? Would be interesting to know….

Patterson told Fox News on Sunday that not making the New York Times list upon release hurts an author’s chance at better sales and publicity.

He’s 76 and well known. If he needs the New York Times to tell people to read his books, well that’s pretty awful.

Is the book list leftist propaganda?

You’re right, actually.

Wrestling is too good for today’s America. Lucky the wrestlers tolerate it.

It's a racket and the conservatives do it as well. How many ghostwritten Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity "best-sellers" can there possibly be?

A pox on all their houses.

Ha.

I just realized Donald Trump was involved in beauty pageants and with the old WWF with McMahon (and appointed McMahon’s wife while in office).

It's long been obvious these giant book deals like the Obama's $67 million deal right after he left office are just money laundering schemes.

Correct. hunter's "art" sales are pony by comparison.
