I'm chronically online and all I know about Hasan Piker is that establishment Dems don't like him and Republicans enjoy his photo in a speedo.

He said some stupid shit. Which okay fine and god knows the Right says stupid shit continuously, but Piker doesn't seem like a fearless speaker of Truth to Power. He seems like an asshole looking for attention.

Yeah but Sara Gideon took out-state money. I don’t know what the fuck super PACs are, and why they’re helping Susan Collins, but no doubt they’re wholesome, in-state organizations funded by the good people of Maine.

Political Action Committee (PAC): a political committee that raises or spends more than $1,000 to influence the outcome of a federal election in a calendar year and is thus required to register with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). A PAC may accept a contribution of up to $5,000 per year from any individual. It may not accept union or corporate treasury funds. A multicandidate PAC may contribute up to $5,000 per election to a candidate and $15,000 to a party committee. It has no limit on the aggregate amount it may contribute. PACs established by corporations and labor unions, referred to as separate segregated funds (SSF), operate under slightly different rules, e.g., a corporation or union may cover its SSF’s administrative expenses.


Super PAC: a political committee that meets the same threshold as any PAC of spending more than $1,000 to influence the outcome of a federal election and is thus required to register with the FEC. “Super PAC” is the shorthand for what the FEC refers to as independent expenditure-only political committee. What differentiates a Super PAC is that it may accept unlimited contributions from any non-foreign source, including union and corporate treasury funds. It may spend unlimited amounts to influence the outcome of federal elections through independent expenditures. However, it may not contribute directly to a candidate, and it may not coordinate with a candidate in making its expenditures. The contributions and expenditures of a Super PAC are publicly disclosed on the FEC’s website.


“Dark Money Group”: a 501(c)(4) social welfare group or (c)(6) trade association named after the sections of the Internal Revenue Code that grant tax exempt status to these organizations. Sometimes referred to as “issue advocacy” groups, they can accept unlimited contributions from any source and are not required to publicly disclose their donors. 501(c)(4) and (c)(6) organizations may engage in some candidate election related activities; however, such activities may not be the primary activities of the organizations. It is generally understood that a group’s primary activities will not be considered engaged in political campaigns if it spends less than 50 percent of its funds on electioneering. These groups may not contribute directly to a candidate but they may contribute unlimited amounts to a Super PAC supporting a candidate.

Ya lo sé, Kep. Too clever by half.
