Most of it's automated I'm guessing. Just like the IRS. The software (probably written in evil FORTRAN) flags filings and throws them on the desk of an investigator who asks them to amend. Doubt anyone is scouring over these when they're submitted.

It is pretty funny since last week she was criticizing the DoD for not being tech savvy enough and requiring her expertise. Meanwhile her campaign can't figure out how to use Quicken.
It might have even been COBOL. I remember as recently as the '90s, the FEC database information used to be in an archaic flat-file database where every field was fixed-width. It was a nightmare to work with or even look at. From the way it was organized (and I am speaking from recollection and not actual knowledge) it looked like it was data from old-style punchcards.

This is the current summary data format:

Code:
H8MA08170|WU, BRIANNA|C|1|DEM|147827.24|0|115430.86|0|0|69144.02|0|50000|0|0|0|50000|97827.24|MA|08||||||0|0|09/30/2018|50|0

Anyway whatever they're using is pretty old.
You took the words out of my mouth lol. I'd bet good money on the system running COBOL code written in the 80s. That shit is robust but damn is it arcane.

We never did talk too much about the guy who has hitched himself to the Wu wagon at least temporarily.

This guy:

HNQyEEqx_400x400.jpeg


He's called Paul Casali and he lives in New York.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulcasali
Website: https://www.casalikeller.com/
Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-casali-26a619/

Like all proper political consultants he's using a shitty squarespace template website and a gmail address.
He previously worked for Diane Savino as field director, and before that some guy who lost in the primary for a congressional seat (FORESHADOWING!)

Before that he used to be a recruiter, and therefore scum of the earth. He also went to some no-name university in Florida from which he may or may not have graduated.

Knock yourselves out, Kiwis. Maybe if he put his name here enough he'll google himself and come read Wu's thread. I look forward to him finding out about Wu and quitting in disgust.

He's got an IMDB page, too. Yes, it's the same guy.

He's not just a New Yorker; he's a Staten Islander, which one would imagine would act as antimatter to John.

:offtopic: I've only got access to the public-facing stuff, but up until version 5.30 of the FEC tools, they were still redistributing a COBOL runtime that the DOS/Windows C code linked against. Version 6 seems to have switched over to straight C, and then 7.0 and onward used Java.

Their C code must have been an abomination, since it required you to manually exempt it from Data Execution Prevention once that feature was added to Windows.

I assume there was a similar story playing out on the FEC's server side, but who knows.
 
Whatever the case, there's something very wrong with the way Wu's doing her accounting. Possibly several things wrong. I wonder if, in addition to using Franks/BriBri's account for their campaign, she doesn't even decide what is actually going to be a campaign expense until the end of the quarter, and that's how we get the absurdities like her various holidays to California being "fundraising trips." It's got to be the case that she's not keeping a double entry ledger, given how wrong the figure always are.

When the deadline is coming up Frank tallies up his bank account and collects the random assortment of receipts Brianna keep stuffing in a kitchen drawer. Desperately trying to figure out what's what he rushes into Brianna's man cave, fists full of receipts, holding them up one by one he asks "is this a campaign expense?" while shaking him like a magic 8-ball. When Wu's eyes starts rolling around in his skull he gives his answers: "as I see it, yes", "no", "ask again later"

And that is where campaign finance reports come from.
 
And if you had any self-awareness, John, you would realise that this is one of the clearest examples of no single ideology holding a monopoly on the same re,tarded idea.

Bravo!!! A cumbersome union is exactly what will save a totally failing industry from inevitable cataclysm!

In which John reveals that his English skills are so poor that doesn't realize that he has just falsely implied that he is a parent.

I'm pretty sure he wanted to give that impression, but even with John Walker Flynt's nearly superhuman capacity for lying at every available opportunity, he realized inventing a fictional baby would be a step too far even for his idiotic followers.
 
Wait, wait, wait. Ain't Brianna pretty invested in a counter-movement that is very fond of shaking fist at gamers? I could have sworn I heard something about the evils of "male power fantasies" and shit like that. You had to flee home over that stuff, Bri, don't ya remember?

How it was different that people having moral/parental objections to Doom/Fortnight? Is you answer going to be "we're on the right side of history"? Every asshole thinks that.
 
That's so adorable John! The photos of the Christmas family gathering are going to be so cute, i.e. the photos of you spending all of Christmas day lying on the couch on your phone while Frank jacks off to hentai in the room next door.

I think John feels that Frank is his child. Given the way Frank behaves with his infantile antics and mouth-gawping, who can blame him? One look at Frank in the Godzilla costume is enough to illustrate that this is not a normal functioning adult, but rather, one who can't tell the difference between childlike and childish. He comes off as Ralph Wiggums, but with a law degree. "Adulting is hard. Wheeee!!!! Remember when we went to the Huggo Awards, mommydaddywife John? That was fun. Can I have a huggo right now?"

This explains why John is the one bragging about making stuff with the new 3D printer. He bought it "for Frank" in the same way dads buy a train set "for the children" -- so dad can play with it all day. And he got Frank to pay for it, so that's a win/win.

"Hey, see what other creative people did. Me, sharing this on Twitter with a fake story transfer the coolness and skillfulness of it to me."

So far as I know, he doesn't have a law degree. He has a Ph.D.
 
Oh jeez.

She got fucking custom plates. Of course she got custom plates.
She's like the tackiest of tacky nouveau riche bitches that everyone laughs at and shuns at the country club.

(Edit: rating myself :late:)
 
Should be “Danglr” for his mutilated cock and balls mangled into a front fuck hole.

You just know John gives Frank’s nieces (if they even exist) the cheapest gifts possible because he’s a selfish asshole. John blows thousands on himself and gives extremely tiny amounts to charity for public asspats.

Great scoop! I also heard that the young people enjoy watching video recordings on an online digital video repository known as The YouTube Dot Com!

So John is a retard. Regardless of what one might think of it, MSFT's slack competitor has been out for just under two years and is literally the fastest growing app in company history. An entire multi-billion dollar consulting services industry exists around rolling it out, adopting it, and in some cases even ripping out and replacing legacy VoIP based telephony systems with it. It's actually doing quite well.

People usually use something like Microsoft Teams in places like their jobs, where they work by doing something that their employer values in exchange for money. That explains why John is out of touch on this topic. The only irony I see is that despite being a purported expert, John has never really had a job or worked in the technology industry so his filthy nailed, nicotine stained, scarecrow like hands are not exactly on the pulse of the industry. On the other hand, people mostly use discord to fuck around, so I imagine he is in his element there.
 
Yes this gauche vanity project will be the pride and joy of District 8's working class.

Because surely a hacked up Porsche meant to vaguely resemble something from an obscure non DC or Marvel comic from the 90’s will bring the same asking price as rare perfect replicas of one of the most famous cars in movie history? Look! It’s got mis-spelled vanity plates!
