According to Marshall’s most recent Federal Election Commission records filed in July, no one working for Marshall’s campaign had received a paycheck in the past five years — a situation that campaign finance experts said was potentially unprecedented in the modern era of politics. (2/2)

Of course Kash Patel wants to hand the UFC a NO-BID contract to train FBI agents. The UFC is a sports entertainment business. The FBI already trains agents in defensive tactics. And we’re supposed to believe Dana White, Trump’s buddy, runs the only organization in America qualified to do this.

Does the man who wants a panopticon fascist future HAVE to look just like the Johnny Cab robot from the movie about a panopticon fascist future?
Image from the movie Total Recall, showing a robotic, fake looking "Johnny Cab" bust figure plugged into the driver seat of a future cab with Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting in the back.  The "Johnny Cab"'s face looks like Peter Thiel in the bland vacant 50's stereotype of a white man way.

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.
