A lot of that was from a couple of big donations. Some people have money to burn and no common sense I guess.

And we'll learn exactly who they are, too.

If they really managed to magic-up $12000 this month, I'm very curious what kind of favors had to be called in. The way he's playing it, Frank himself can only donate the individual contribution limit, so about $10000 of that would still have to be other people.
For those playing along at home, the paypig leaderboard's top ranks are currently occupied by a $1000 donor and six $500 donors. All but two of those were from February and March 2017. None of them donated a second time.

So the ghoul claims to have gathered 1500 signatures in like a week. He used a company, tied it to a credit card, and then campaign donations will go to pay off Frank.

Can’t wait to see the FEC docs this week!

If he has 1500 votes, will he make it to 2000 votes in less than 48 hours?
 
John only cites from sources who have the attained the highest levels of journalistic integrity, like BuzzFeed.

She's so dumb. That's not the point at all. The NYT and the WaPo and other "journalistically valid sources" have come up with plenty of bullshit over the years. This is a good example of her hearing something that sounded smart about evaluating sources, and thinking she's repeating it, but getting it all wrong.
 
You'd think Wu would be the first person to be sceptical of "journalistically valid sources" after so many of them credulously repeated her lies over the years. Every single paper that has ever called her a software engineer has been a source of fake news.

I think he's blurring the lines between reality and popular strategy sim Civilization 5, any why be surprised? There's almost nothing but video game trivia and power fantasies lodged between the dust bunnies and tumbleweeds in his noggin'. That's probably why so much of his political output references video games and his daydreams of being a politician is basically all about dropping sick burns by referencing video games or sci-fi.

LOL. All you did was bitch on Twitter so the company could fix an issue that a supposed "Godzilla of Tech" like yourself could have easily fixed. Stop trying to act like you're in direct contact with real tech experts and pretending like they care about what you think, Bri-bri.

That actually makes perfect sense.

Please vote for Wu! Because if not now, when?
 
Kiwi investigation team reporting in.

Wu has hired a signature company and is paying $2 a signature.

When asked why people should vote for her I heard "she's good with tech and fights nazis."

Yeah, because that worked out real well in Vietnam, where the people generally ended up not wanting our aid, they wanted us to just leave them the fuck alone.

Or, you know, currently Russia and North Korea, the former being led by a guy who basically has a hard on for being an absolute ass to every other country on the planet like it's the Cold War all over again, the latter being led by a coddled dictator in a wildly unstable climate who very likely has nuclear ICBMs now and spends more time worrying about pissing China off more than what the US thinks.

Knowing Flu? If they have any Civ games, they abuse the fuck out of cheats. Flu isn't just a bad video game player, they simply seem completely oblivious to anything that requires higher level thinking beyond that of an elementary student. Anything actually challenging is a problem to be screamed at, then dealt with by throwing Frank or expendable temp employees at (Rev. 60, this campaign shitshow), ignored (botched Audi TT "upgrades" and a lemon of a Porsche, in favor of another Porsche which will inevitably be fucked up), cheated (every video game they've ever played), or tried to be spun into Flu's favor (leaving a dog to die five feet away while screeching on twitter, then blaming goobergrape for the dog dying).

If anything, in that sense Flu does actually manage to do something very stereotypical of a "woman" from such a background as theirs - they're worthless and unfathomably high maintenance to the point of poisoning literally everything around them, while having absolutely NO concept of the value of money.

Or for that matter, no concept of how to be happy, either. Flu changes "professions" like people change clothes, trying to go for trendy shit or positions that would allow them to sopabox their awful opinions. Tries to find joy in buying the most advanced commercial tech there is...constantly. Owns ALL the game systems there are. But all they end up doing is trying to sound smart on twitter and failing miserably.

It would be phenomenal if we could get an interview with one of Flu's siblings and ask what the home life of this psycho was like.

Is that even legal? Then again, leave it to Flu to find a way to throw money at a problem no matter what the problem actually is.

And they lie while they're at it, too - we've seen Flu fight Nazis. They absolutely suck at Wolfenstien's tutorial.

It's a legit company, that pays on a commission basis. The other campaigns only paid 1.50 and 1.75

Nice discovery.

From the linked craigslist post (Archive), it's exactly the same company that Voehl used to get on the ballot. Ballot Access Management LLC, so I guess Wu paid a similar amount for the service. Voehl paid 7000 bucks and change, I wonder if they held Wu up for more money because she left it until the last minute?

Edit: Speaking of leaving things until the last minute... where's the FEC accounts, John? It'll be hilarious if we have a repeat of last quarter because once again she was too lazy to even start until a couple of hours before the deadline.

Did anyone post this Quincy Democrats video? It’s more of the same, but notably Frank is weirdly interviewing her. Also, we get crocodile tears about Iraq. I haven’t finished watching yet.

Part of me was getting sad that the campaign saga was potentially coming to an end. It's nice they might renew it for one more season. It's funny that even at that rate of $2 a signature, Warren was still getting overpaid. I wonder if they're gonna kick him to the curb now or continue paying the guy.
