Any legs to the rumor that Folt

More of a fellow traveler--that is if you want to split hairs. "The term fellow traveller (also fellow traveler) identifies a person who is intellectually sympathetic to the ideology of a political organization, and who co-operates in the organization's politics, without being a formal member of that organization.[1] In the early history of the Soviet Union, the Bolshevik revolutionary and Soviet statesman Anatoly Lunacharsky coined the term poputchik ('one who travels the same path') and later it was popularized by Leon Trotsky to identify the vacillating intellectual supporters of the Bolshevik government.[2] It was the political characterisation of the Russian intelligentsiya (writers, academics, and artists) who were philosophically sympathetic to the political, social, and economic goals of the Russian Revolution of 1917, but who did not join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The usage of the term poputchik disappeared from political discourse in the Soviet Union during the Stalinist régime, but the Western world adopted the English term fellow traveller to identify people who sympathised with the Soviets and with Communism.[1]

In U.S. politics, during the 1940s and the 1950s, the term fellow traveler was a pejorative term for a person who was philosophically sympathetic to Communism, yet was not a formal, "card-carrying member" of the Communist Party USA. In political discourse, the term fellow traveler was applied to intellectuals, academics, and politicians who lent their names and prestige to Communist front organizations.

In European politics, the equivalent terms for fellow traveller are: Compagnon de route and sympathisant in France; Weggenosse and Sympathisant in Germany; and compagno di viaggio in Italy.[3]

@tempomacdougall Does anyone know what the board nerd, aka Crunchy Pussy, is talking about?

@ATLBRUIN Fellow Traveler or Useful idiots are names for two kinds of communist stooges. "She is a useful idiot " was posted above.

Except that one time settlement was one time. Nikkias fundraised at a higher level every year. A dip down to 600 for Max versus consistently lower fundraising for Folt becomes a large cumulative delta. I dont know how much of the decrease comes form her rather than other issue.

The OdGYN settlement is in the $1.1 Billion range . The $250 Million was just one of the class action settlements. FYI
