@LetheRiverBand that was the annoying part. This one took no heavy lifting. The grift was so freaking obvious from day one. annoying people funnier then me weren't making fun of it. but thanks for helping to stop the spread of nonsense with humor. I laughed really hard so many times.
@Brendan_Noble only if people like @BowdenOnBass weren't predicting this EXACT outcome for MONTHS Angela could have stopped this event at ANY time. She was literally one of only two people who could. The Party did not listen to him and few others that predicted this since Summerish
@AK_Tigre @FiredStaffer @EliotHiggins Givemebutter or something but how many people made real donations thinking they supported an antiwar movement and not a pro-russia prep rally what happens to the funds now?
@whistl3r @DavidLiberty311 @JoshEakle @MassSkeptic or make a 100,000 ever. or be owned by a 501(c)4 operated by two people. @JoshEakle tried to warn people waaay before this embarrassment happened. Either operator of the 501(c)4 could have stopped the event at any time Both chose not to. Angela and Nick had equal power
@CarlNyberg312 honestly don't dig unless you are interested. It just gets weirder the deeper you go. Might just want to walk away. but check out this series: https://bit.ly/3lqeBrR
@CarlNyberg312 Enough info is out there now. It isn't a hard leap that something weird is happening How did a rally that bombed on attendance raise 100k? I have never heard of a peace rally ever making a 100k especially one that bombed something is still strange
@AndrewRCraig there is an important story. Do (501)4c leave small parties like Libertarian and Green Party more susceptible to internal and/or external threats. This can all be so ugly and unethical yet legal. How do third parties protect themselves in a world of Citizens United? hmmm
@ThomasRoyko @AlRSuarez2 Together the operate the 501(4)c that hosted the event. Neither libertarian party nor peoples party (which isn't a party) were really the hosts Nick and Angela are the two signatories of the corporation
@LetheRiverBand Thank you a needed a good laugh. This was such a good essay. Brought much needed humor after too many days of WTF? This is soo funny can somebody funnier then make fun of this (low bar. I was getting desperate)
@EliotHiggins Even if fundraiser is hogwash in total number If event organizers knew it was a Pro Russian rally but took people's money as an antiwar rally.... Just shameful.
@EliotHiggins they still made a 100k find me one peace rally that made a 100,000 and absolutely bombed on head count. Find me one peace rally in history of antiwar movement that ever made that much cash. find me one rally where two people own a 501(4)c overseeing all that cash
