This Democrat Convention’s gonna cost me…

by Poetrooper••96

I made it all the way through the Republican Convention without getting so enthused that I ran to this computer and made a contribution to the Trump campaign. I usually wait until fairly late in presidential campaigns to donate because past experience has taught me the hard lesson that the first donation opens the floodgates of solicitation via email, snail mail, and telephone. Besides, I figure that’s when my candidate needs cash the most, in the late stages of the fight, when it’s getting down to the nitty-gritty and a lot of the early supporters are beginning to feel tapped out.

But damn all, that phony redskin, Fauxahontas Warren, just sent me frothing to this keyboard to donate my first hundred bucks way too early by my normal practices. I simply could not help myself; listening to the litany of lies flowing so glibly from that self-proclaimed savage, who has spoken with a forked tongue throughout her career to gain advantage over her peers, utterly drove me to violate my own policy. I know, I know: it’s gonna cost me bucks – a few hundred more than usual, most likely – because now those Republican fund-raisers are going to be coming after me from every point of the conservative compass.

You know what? I don’t care. I am so determined that a conniving, corrupt criminal and her pedophile husband will not sit in our White House that I’m willing to put my bucks where Donald’s mouth is. He’s not perfect, but he’s a damned sight better than the alternative. So tonight, way ahead of my normal schedule, I sent him my first hundred bucks, and I’ll certainly send more – I hope not before this Democrat Convention is over, but that depends on who they put up there as speakers and how gratingly irritating they are. I’m praying they don’t put that phony, shrieking Fauxahontas back on stage, because I’m here to tell you, folks: that woman may not be a natural Native American, but she’s for damned sure a natural fundraiser for Trump.

And it’s gonna cost me money…

  1. I actually watched about 5 minutes of Bernie’s appearance. It seemed to be on 7 of 10 channels. He said something about environmental and some other brands of justice and I had no clue what he was talking about. I saw a sea of white, mostly female, faces smiling like Moonies. One young woman I saw mouth, “We love you Bernie.” I was dumbfounded. Dafuq is wrong with these people?

    1. Brain damage from extensive attempts at “better living through chemicals” would be my guess.

            1. If that is in fact the case, there`ll be big time swooning tonight when The Slick One himself takes to the podium.

              1. And lots ov overtime for the Janitorial Staff cleaning up the drool afterward.

  2. The trick I use is to get a new Email account and use it exclusively for my donations. Once used, I never check it again. Mailers go straight into the wood stove. Screw my ‘Carbon footprint’.

    1. Ditto. I have used ‘throwaway’ email accounts for a while. Use for their purpose and then ignore.

  3. Too busy reading the “Obama lied about rising violence in the States” and “Without access to firearms, Captain Ginzu rampages through Japan killing 19” articles on CNN. So I appreciate the cliff notes version.

  4. How do you feel about Trump’s remarks on McCain’s military service? Just curious.

    1. John McCain has utterly wasted any good will he earned by living in the Hanoi Hilton with everything he has done in the last few years. Which is exactly nothing except refuse to bow out.

      Of course my Korea POW/ Vietnam Vet hated him since Vietnam… Kept calling him Songbird. Every time the guy got air time, my grandfather would go off about McCain starting fires in Navy ships and everything else you can find on whatever website, except my grandfather never used the internet.

      1. I’ve hated McCain since the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002. ((PTUI!!)

    2. Being captured doesn’t absolve him from his hiring a fucking Islamist lobbyist after she had been exposed as one and a fraud.

      Fuck McCain forever.

      1. “How can you trust a candidate on national security who appoints a Hamas supporter to their immigration commission and speaks at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect?”

        The candidate is Kaine. The source is Breitbart.

    3. But the question isn’t about about personal feelings on McCain, it’s about a civilian dissing a POW for being captured.

      1. So, are you saying i should vote for the Clinton crime family because the other candidate is not perfect?

        At this point, the Trumpminator can say the most stupidiest things in the planet, and i would still vote for him because the alternative is Hitlary Clinton, the butcher of Benghazi.

        1. 4 people died in Benghazi because of Cuntons lies. Thousands and thousands of Americans have died because of the Bush Administration lies that led us into Iraq. Not to mention all of the Iraqi civilians who have died but no one in the USA gives 0 fucks about them. Donald trump is a draft dodger. He got out of going to Vietnam 5 different times because of his daddy’s money. I would vote for a shit bucket over fuck tard Trump who never answers a question, always squints and has no experience running anything whatsoever except his mouth. People on this site go after some jerk off who has airborne wings on his uniform but never went to jump school. Why don’t you attack all politicians that are scumbags (Which is 99.9% of Washington DC) not just ones you dislike for being black of a bitch. I wish I had all day to send out for FOIA requests, attend medal of honor ceremonies and rub shoulders with other like minded clones but i’m too busy working cause the Zionist government we have would rather fuck my life that help a vet out. This country is in the toilet and has been for decades. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. We won’t get fooled again? Doubt it. With a country with over 300 million citizens, the two best candidates are Cunton and Industrial Cock inhaler trump? Rome is burning and people are just playing the fiddle watching. At least I can sleep peacefully at night knowing that some vet isn’t wearing Air Assault wings they didn’t earn after being exposed on here. Thanks for your service exposing the real problems this country has. You have already made America Great.

      1. Google “Lolita Express” – the plane had a bed and was “stocked” with teenage girls.

        2. Yeah search the web. You will find out that Donald Trump is being accused of Raping a teenage girl at one of Jefferey Jewstein’s parties. Marla Maples also said Donald raped her after he had some hair transplant and was in a bad mood. She then had a FRAGO with her story after Trump withheld her Alimony. Like I have been saying, Trump and Clinton are Scumbags but you just focus on the Cuntons. 59,000 Americans Died in Vietnam while Donald trump was probably raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. Keep kidding yourselves, the only thing that will save this ship from sinking would be a complete overhaul from top to bottom. Neither one of these clowns running for POTUS will do anything except further their own agendas. Either way…..BOHICA

      3. Convicted, actually – in 2008. Per Wikipedia, Epstein pleaded guilty to underage solicitation, served 13 months in prison, and is a registered level 3 sex offender.

    3. Here’s one reference (among many) giving circumstantial evidence pointing at Clinton’s possible involvement.

      http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/05/13/flight-logs-show-bill-clinton-flew-on-sex-offenders-jet-much-more-than-previously-known.html

      The fact that an ex-POTUS would ditch his protective detail while flying with someone later convicted of sex offenses on a private plane referred to as the “Lolita Express” . . . raises questions. Serious questions.

    4. Any one of us could accidentally find ourselves in the presence of a pedophile, or any other kind of pervert or criminal, and many of us may well have been exactly there. Once. No, just because he was on multiple private junkets with the pedophile and young girls does not mean that he participated, but why else would he be there, especially the second, third et al times?

      It’s much easier to simply avoid spending time around a pedophile than to try to explain it away.

      1. The problem with liberals and the MSM is that the liberals rarely have to explain away much of anything. The MSM gives these stories a pass much of the time and the liberals don’t do any explaining b/c they aren’t called on the subject. Let the same happen to a Republican, though, and it’s the lead by MSM until the end of time.

    1. Suit yourself. Just realize that actually voting for Johnson is effectively voting for the candidate you detest most.

      1. In 1860 voting Republican was throwing your vote away.

        Strange how i can’t vote for a Whig this election season.

    2. Bill, I suggest you go read the Johnson platform and then come back here and tell us you can support that sophomoric, liberal mess.

      Remember, as I’ve said here many times and will continue to do, I’m not voting FOR Donald Trump; I’m voting AGAINST Hillary Clinton. As Hondo correctly advises, a vote for Johnson is precisely the same as a vote for Hillary. Think you can do that without gagging?

      1. My problem is I don’t want to just vote against Hillary. Or just against Trump. I want to vote against BOTH. How do I do that? By voting for Johnson.

        I don’t pretend to think that my one vote is going to make any difference one way or the other. But I figure if enough folks do as I do, it might a) send a message to the two major parties about nominating such sorry-ass candidates; and b) maybe, just maybe, help lay the groundwork for a competitive third party in the future. One can hope, anyway.

        1. meanwhile electing Hillary.

          I’m with you by preference, but no way in the world am I going to help her facilitate 8 more years of this nonsense

        2. I’m in the same boat. And most of my friends are liberals who also tell me that voting for Mr. Johnson would be a vote for Mr. Trump. For me, both main options are catastrophically bad in different ways… so why not do some good by helping show third parties are viable, or at least not supporting the corruption and idiocy of the Democrats and Republicans.

          Realistically, I can see myself remaining uncertain right up until the day itself.

      2. As far as ideology goes – that’s secondary at this point. I differ with Johnson on quite a few issues. But, I want to be able to vote for an honest, honorable, adult – and neither Trump nor Hillary fit the bill. If by some fluke he does get elected – he’s going to have to deal with a Congress with no Libertarians in it, which ought put a damper on some of his more fringe ideas (I’d hold out the hope that Congress would perform the same function in a Trump or Clinton presidency, by the way.)

        1. Bill, if you think Gary Johnson is an honest, honorable adult you don’t know much about him. From living many years in New Mexico, I do. He’s a slick manipulator who’s made a career out of offering himself as an alternative to the party nominees. He doesn’t really DO anything except run for office on a perpetual basis, a nice easy gig if you can get it.

          And adult? The guy just recently disclosed he smokes marijuana daily and you call that a responsible adult? That’s what you want for a Commander-in-chief of our armed forces? That’s the guy you want making life or death decisions for you and your family.

          And you’re still not getting the math as Hondo tried to explain it to you. A vote for Johnson rather than for Trump is the same as a vote for Hillary.

          2. If you can’t balance your daily responsibilities as an adult with smoking weed, you probably shouldn’t be introducing ANY foreign mind-altering substance into your body– to count nicotine, caffeine, or alcohol.

      3. You’re making the assumption that if I had only Trump or Hillary to choose from, I’d be voting for Trump. That’s not a safe assumption. Believe me, I’ve heard all the arguments, and I’ve agonized about it, going back and forth, sometimes leaning one way, sometimes another. Could I possibly bring myself to vote for Trump? Or Hillary? Which is worse? So, I finally decided to do just as you suggest: vote for the one candidate who doesn’t make me gag.

      4. But but but people should legally be able to sell heroin to children!!!

        – libertarian party

    3. Really? Libertarian party is a joke. Did you watch any of the convention? How could a sane person throw away money to those window lickers? Seriously go YouTube the 2016 cringe machine that was the libertarian convention. Then weep.

  7. I’ve actually been surprised by the LACK of contribution hassle that I’ve gotten from the Trump campaign. I bought some trinkets off the website last year and they sent me a Christmas card. Kinda cool. Bought some more “piss off my co-worker” stuff and got some email newsletters from them. Finally made an actual contribution (my first ever BTW) and have not really been bugged by them since. The Johova’s Witnesses literally bother me for money more than Trump has…

    1. He hasn’t needed money yet, he has spent next to nothing and yet, some polls have him up by +4 points over the Bitch of Benghazi.

    2. I keep getting a link popping up on my FaceBook page that I can purchase a Hillary Clinton Action Figure I sent in my $30, it arrived, and it erased all of my emails. Then I sent another $30 for the Bill Clinton doll. As soon as it arrived, it started having inappropriate sexual relationships with my niece’s doll collection, particularly Malibu Barbie’s cousin with low self-esteem, Chunky Monica.

  8. Not sure if I want to vote for Trump, an authoritarian Hillary donor with weird ties to Russia. I might vote for him and simply never tell anyone. I live in Texas so it doesn’t matter anyway.

    That said, this DNC stuff is terrific. Bernie Sanders, a do-nothing socialist creep, gets SCREWED. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, long recognized by the right as one of America’s most vile politicians, now gets that recognition from the left. And Hillary’s coronation gets overshadowed by fraud on an enormous scale.

    The more I think about it, the more I think a Trump victory is the perfect salt to stuff into those Democrat wounds!

    1. You missed the best (read: worst) bit about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Not only did she get fired… but then she got immediately hired by Clinton! It’s just so incredibly pathetic.

  9. Put on your thinking cap, Cap. Every vote counts whether or not your state’s pretty much a given for the Republican candidate or not. If the national election should be so close as to get thrown into the Supreme Court, one of the factors they might consider in their deliberations could be the actual national vote count.

    And look at it this way, someday you can tell your grandkids you helped keep the socialists from taking over America.

    1. A meteor hitting the stage at the first presidential debate, you mean? It’d improve both tickets. Hmmm…a Pence vs. Kaine election. Makes me smile just to think of it.

  11. FDR, HST, DDE, JFK, LBJ, RMN, GRF…You recognize the initials as being those of seven consecutive-serving Presidents of the United States. But how about these initials: WOD. Here’s a hint: Those seven presidents shared (in a sense) the person whose initials are WOD. [Insert Jeopardy theme music here.]

    1. Tough crowd. No takers. Okay. This list of initials of consecutive-serving Presidents of the US also “shared” someone in common: A.L., A.J., U.S.G., R.B.H., J.A.G., C.A.A., G.C., B.H., G.C. (again), and W.M. That’s 10. The initials of the person they had in common? SJF [Insert Jeaopardy music here.]

      1. We have a winner! I should have guessed it would be you! Congrats. Two men, both Supreme Court justices, and 17 presidents. And that’s the single most important reason to vote for Trump. The next president may indirectly rule the roost and impact our lives for many years beyond their term.

  12. I’m gonna vote for the person I believe might, just might help this country. And that ain’t wideload. Think ‘things’ can’t get worse? Let her get in office and come back in a year and tell us how you think. She has proposed not a damn thing with which I agree. For starters, she has sworn to abolish the 2nd Amendment, destroy the NRA, and will almost certainly call for all firearms to be turned it. Now, while that demand is working its way through the courts, watch the cost of ammo and firearms explode. That is simply an end run against the 2nd Amendment, by making firearm ownership too expensive for many. Want to pay half a buck for a .22 LR? I refuse to waste my vote in protest b/c I dislike Trump. Perfect? NO. Switched his position several times? YES (Name a pol who does not routinely do that.) Abrasive as hell? YES But maybe, just maybe, the social and racial fiber and other aspects of the country will be improved after his term(s) in office. I can guarantee they will be worse under wideload. And speaking of race, the liberals thrive on discord. I’m tired of hearing the lies about the Republican war on women/blacks/poor/fill-in-the-blank. It’s a crock of crap designed to garner votes for the liberals by fostering mistrust and hatred .

    1. BTW – Target Sports USA has pretty good deals for buying ammo online…

    2. Both have great potential to make this country worse – much worse. That
      s what really depresses me about this election. I really, truly, sincerely hope to be proven wrong.

    3. Our politics differ – for me, I expect policy-wise she wouldn’t be terrible (I lean left, obviously). But I can’t stomach the idea of rewarding a dishonest and corrupt person without any principles with the Presidency.

      (I don’t think she, nor anyone else, will do away with the 2A — many liberals own guns, too.)

      1. LC: I think she will take a run at the 2nd. Can she pull it off? I don’t think so. Many Blue States have a rich heritage of firearm ownership, and of course the Red States citizens are much opposed to doing away with the 2nd. Any attempt to further restrict gun ownership will be bogged within the courts for years. Here’s hoping I don’t have to find out what she will do b/c she doesn’t get elected. There is a free-for-all lovefest among MSM outlets to see which can show the greatest frenzy for her. Speaking of MSM slime, and MSNBC slime in particular, Chris Matthews referred to the mother or widow (can’t remember) of one of the four left to be slaughtered in Benghazi as ‘that woman’ while taking a few moments to disrespect her. Now THAT is a professional journalist at his finest. He is a despicable person. I wonder if wideload causes a tingle up his leg as does Obama? Really, he said that about Obama. Now that is really unbiased professionalism.

    1. This makes me sad. Simon wrote that song for Art Garfunkel to sing. Garfunkel nailed it. Simon’s voice, even at its best (which it wasn’t close to last night), doesn’t suit the song.

  14. Canned food and shotguns. Best investment evah.

    And Bernie supporters are trying to get him to take the Green Party nomination.

    Oh please, God, let him do it.

  15. I remember an interview with Trump about defense policy – they asked him about the “nuclear triad” (you know, land based missiles, submarine based missiles, and strategic bombers). He didn’t even understand the question, danced for a little while and then changed the subject. And this is the guy whose finger you want on the button? Trump for President? Really?

    1. Not only ignorance, but temperament. I don’t want a vindictive twelve-year-old boy with his finger on the button.

      2. Regarding vindictive and immature – might want to ask the former White House travel office and Secret Service about Ms. Clintoon.

        My point is that neither scores particularly well on the attribute of maturity or vindictiveness; both are vindictive as hell, and both often behave like spoiled children. So picking between them on that basis is effectively tossing a coin.

        1. I definitely agree with you, Hondo – it’s a coin flip, on this and so many other issues. That’s what’s so damned infuriating about this election: both parties are scraping the bottom of the barrel. They could have nominated almost anyone else and it would have been a vast improvement over what we’re stuck with. And it’s why I’m seriously considering supporting a third-party candidate whom I wouldn’t have given a second thought to under almost any other circumstances.

    2. Any reason will do, Joe. For every one you come up with for Trump, I can come up with five or ten real-life, on-the-job, substantive examples for Wide Load. Benghazi.

    3. More important, Joe, than the term of art, “nuclear triad,” that few know, is that Trump pronounces Pakistan Pack-a-stan, not Pock-e-stan, like really smart people who are internationalists do. Also, Trump hasn’t won the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing. Yeah, I can’t get behind a guy like that either.

    4. Better than to have Hitlary with her nasty finger on the economy.

      At least Trumpet has children and want them to live.

  16. We are screwed any way you look at it.

    The RNC was a joke and the DNC is looking worse.

    “Clowns to the left me, clowns to the right, and here I am, stuck in the middle with you”.

    Or something like that.

    Drink up, folks.

    It will help.

  18. I gave a donation to Trump many months ago. He wasn’t my first choice. If he’s elected I just want to remember he’s going to bring a lot of people into government I like.

  19. Voting for Clinton because you dislike Trump is like eating a turd because you don’t like broccoli

    2. Choosing between a turd and broccoli is easy. But what if someone sets two turds in front of you? Yeah, they may differ somewhat in appearance and consistency, but they’re both turds and they both stink. How do you choose between them? Then – what if someone sets a third plate in front of you with actual food on it – maybe not your favorite food – maybe it’s under-or-overcooked, hard to chew, hard to swallow, and doesn’t taste very good – but at least it’s edible and isn’t going to kill you? Would you at least consider that third plate?

      Metaphor stretched to the breaking point, I know. Sorry.

    1. Is there any part of the U.S. Code that Hildebeast and her gang haven’t violated??
