    Wait a minute... I thought Trump was elected president, not Peter Thiel?

    Birds of a feather:

    Blake Gates Masters (born August 5, 1986) is an American venture capitalist and former political candidate. Often regarded as a protégé of businessman Peter Thiel, Masters co-wrote Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future with Thiel in 2014, based on notes Masters had taken at Stanford Law School in 2012. He later served as chief operating officer (COO) of Thiel's investment firm, Thiel Capital, as well as president of the Thiel Foundation.

    Masters has called for a "federal Bitcoin reserve".

    Shouldn't the ATF be abolished? I am sure at this point and time there is plenty of ground-swell that would absolutely support that. But nooooo, let's fill that position with a Peter Thiel protégé.

    Don't know, don't care. Once people enter into office or a position of power... That guy surrounds himself with the wrong brand of people, namely Peter Thiel, who I don't trust further than I can blow freakin' oats.

    The ATF should be abolished. Period.

    Better watch what you ask for. The last time there was “serious” talk about abolishing those bastards, because they had been proven so conclusively to be a rogue, criminal operation that even with the media running cover it couldn’t be denied, THEY got a MASSIVE budget increase and we got the first outright gun ban in US history.

    Yeah it does seem that Thiel is running the Trump admin, doesn't it?

    For a second I thought this was referring to Blake Masters who ran for US Senate two years ago.

    Talk to Matt, I just copied and altered his Headline.

    I DID read the article when nobody else did or I wouldn't be the only one here calling out the false headline that presents a rumored consideration as a done deal.

    RFK's poll website clearly shows the grassroots favorite is Brandon Herrera.
    Brandon is clearly the correct choice.
    And if it's not him getting nominated, I'm going to have to be convinced to care who it is.
    WHAT THE F*** DID YOU THINK​ WAS GOING TO HAPPEN???

    Odds of him getting confirmed in the senate are basically zero but it would still be fun to watch him try
