9. It's a blog, and The Hill knows that.

Yet, they're touting it as if it's the next big leap in social media platforms.
It's a blog with the comment function disabled, and it's hosted by a campaign fundraising site.

Prominently displayed "Contribute" button. Bling and merchandise store. $50 front door mat for dogs to shit on. $40 hat to advertise you're an idiot.
