While Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg is apologizing for allowing Cambridge Analytica (CA) to use and abuse its members private information, he's not the only one who is deserving of scrutiny. Why is no one looking into Peter Thiel? After all Thiel is still on Facebook's Board, he donated to Trump and according to this article, he has bragged about having unlimited access to Trump.
And then there's Thiel's involvement with the Make America #1 PAC. Peter Thiel gave $1 million. As Caroline O. (@RVAwonk) pointed out on Twitter, Erik Prince and Peter Thiel were both major donors to the Make America #1 PAC after Trump became the Republican nominee.

Billionaire Peter Thiel is building a panic room into his house in New Zealand and it could be part of a new Doomsday trend

Thiel should know all about Doomsday.. getting trump rigged in.
He's more selfish than I imagined.. being a gay man and throwing LGBT to the wolves with his Billions of Dollars.. to secure his tax cuts.
Wonder if NZ has an extradition treaty with USA? Why yes it does..

I can only imagine the frustration, and yet determination of the Democratic Leaders.. those who are fighting on the Front Lines, and all over the country!

(19,956 posts)Republicans. Even the likes of Corker and Flake, who are heading out the door, are as cowardly as the rest of them (worse in fact). At the very least they should be putting pressure on McConnell that they would caucus with the Democrats if he doesn't get a handle on this now. We all put great hope in November but things are moving at such a pace, this may all explode a lot sooner, and what then ?
