You don't have a professional life, you don't talk to anyone, you're not running for office, and you're not a woman. Where is the """"viral ad"""", John?

You have to admire John's ability to compose a sentence where literally every word in it is a separate lie.

You might have missed Wu's campaign financials being filed. I recommend looking for them on the Wu campaign subforum.

Some highlights:

1) One or two people contributed $1000. General consensus is they were friends of Frank.

2) A somewhat larger number of people contributed $500. General consensus is they were fucking nuts.

3) John is apparently a big fan of a sandwich shop called Potbelly.

4) At least one moment of what could potentially be actual fraud, where he claimed a dinner as a campaign expense for "meeting with potential voters" at some restaurant in New York City, which is a tad beyond the bounds of MA-8.

I remain confident even more fun stuff will be unveiled if this campaign continues.
 
My favorite was that Brianna accused a pilot of mansplaining and it turned out the pilot was a woman. Brianna just assumed she was a man. The pilot did have a somewhat gender neutral name, but still. Oh, and the pilot had contributed to Brianna's farce, I mean campaign.

I doubt these people Wu is supposedly lecturing are real. But I hope they are.

Someone is liking and retweeting his shit, or he has bots to make himself seem important.

Truthfully thats the thing that amazes me so much about John. Not him himself, but the mindless sycophants out there who support his delusions. He wouldn't exist otherwise. Likes and retweets are his life blood.

I am really interested in seeing the results of John's next round of donations. My hunch is they completely blew their load and used all their connections to just get the amount we've seen so far, and there will be little to no money coming in afterwards.

A comparison that I'm sure your working class voters will appreciate.

Is it really that hard to compare it to buying a house? You know, something that a lot of people actually stress over and can relate to?

Then again, I can believe that Brianna has a better idea of how much a super expensive sports car/cry for help is than something conventional like a home.

Maisie Williams is a cutie. Why are they covering her in makeup?

Can you imagine, just for fun, that Brianna actually gets into Congress. You're a member of her team, young, this is your first political job and you're hoping it'll take you places. You come in for your first general meeting with congresswoman Wu. She's laid a big manifesto and has big ambitions so you're excited to see what her first course of action is. You sit down at the meeting table, surrounded by a perfect representation of the US population. She even landed a transgender native American! Wu walks in, looking a lot more haggered than you remember. Introductions are made, alligence to black lives matter is made. Everyone checks their privilege. Brianna stands up.

"First order of business: did you guys see Game of Thrones last night? How awesome was that?"

This carries on for another hour. Then a discussion about abortion is made. Everyone agrees they're awesome and republicans are Hitler. Brianna talks about computer security for another hour. Early lunch. Brianna is not seen for another four hours. You remember this was an unpaid position.

Game of Thrones is problematic from a feminist point of view. Wu needs to reevaluate their support of this. ASAP.

Probably the only decision in their life I can support, but still a waste of donor dollars.

I can get it somewhat. Potbelly's is all over the place in the DC area, the food is cheap compared to other options, and it's pretty good. Would I court voters and high level donors there? Hell no. I might order them as catering for a meeting or whatever, but if you're looking for a $1000+ donation or a big endorsement you have to treat them to something better than that.

Also, you know, actually court donors and key community figures in the fucking district you're running in but that's not fun enough for Wu.

Frank was pretty sloppy with the categorizations and justifications for individual expenses, but this doesn't really rise to the level of fraud. John was presumably in NYC to kiss up to potential donors or media contacts (i.e. legitimate campaigning activity) , and it's legal to expense meals while you're traveling on campaign business.
There are a bunch of other places where Frank didn't quite dot every i and cross every t, but the absolute most that would come of it is he'd get a letter from the FEC saying "Hey, fix this mistake".
 
I still don't understand how Brianna balances her "as a kid in the 90s" tweets with her "my fellow millennials" quotes

Also the New Mutants really fucking sucked although I can understand why she likes them because it was typical 90s teenage angst in comic book form. Hell, now that I think about it, New Mutants might have been a fore bearer of nu-Marvel in the 2010s.

I'm being perhaps a little tongue in cheek. I pointed it out mostly because it's so typical of how he's running this farce of a campaign, with so many appearances miles away from the district he's ostensibly running for. Whoever mentioned that con in California he wants to go to has the right of it; that one's way more egregious. In any event, I don't think he's ever going to raise enough money for the FEC to actually care about any malfeasance or incompetence.

New Mutants also debuted in like 1983, so it's as much an 80s comic as a 90s one. Also, it was always a distant second banana; the Garfunkel to X-Men's Simon.

New Muntants #100, aka the volume one finale due to cancellation, was published with a cover date of . . . April of 1991. So 90's! But that replacement series about young adult soldiers that ran until 2002 had it's share of moments here and there, too bad it was called X-Force, which is a porn title in movie theaters thus the 80's precursor's brand on the property.

As usual John Walker Flynt is a 40 year old gay man pretending to be a woman at least a decade younger but fails to get the details correct due to stupidity.

For all Wu's revisionist history, I strongly suspect I had more feminine interests as a kid in the 90s than Johnny boy ever did, and I'm not about to get my penis lopped off.

I wonder how hard she has to work to convince herself that she was always a woman, morphology be damned, and that this isn't all mental illness brought on by being a pathetic loser.
