But on the positive side the Hulk Hogan testimony was hilarious. He testified wearing a tank top and bandana and about how when he said he had a ten inch penis he meant the wrestling character not himself.

for the federal government in Northern VA, let me just state on our behalf, that Californians are not stupid. We know Dianne Feinstein and whose side she's been on since the beginning. We won't be hoodwinked by a billionaire and his fake ads to undermine her character.

He's wasting his time and money. Republicans will never win again statewide. Meg Whitman and all her money lost.

destroy any chance Thiel might have at higher political office, even he were to run in a conservative state. Zero chance in California.

He may not have broken the law (fingers crossed for criminal charges anyway), but he has connections to Trump and the Russians and of course as a libertarian extremist to the kleptrocratic seizures and dismantlings by the Repub congress.

Feinstein this year so he can run for governor in 2020, but the gubernatorial race is also this year, not 2020. You’re not making sense. Are you drunk?

I think he will jump in politics and since he can't run for POTUS he will choose the next best. Why don't you ask him????????????

How can he run in 2020 for an election being held in 2018? You said he moved to California to make this imagined run, but he already lives here.

Admit that your opinion is based on nothing and has zero basis in anything like reality.

And he’s hardly a “rich millennial.” The dude is fifty years old.

LIbertarians don't make much headway in California politics.

Probably because we actually count all the votes.

in 2020, since the election will be in 2018. Then they can look as foolish as this post!
