So ... Trump sent me a gift
Have you ever given an attention-deprived dog a treat?
If so, you can visualize the reaction the GOP had to me sending a $50 donation to them. I normally restrict my giving to things I use like Wikipedia, charities I support like the American Heart Association, or disaster relief efforts. But when the Democrats were raising record cash on a platform that largely seems to be built upon the idea that America, families, and white people are evil - I thought it might be in my interest to make a token show of support to their opposition.
Anyway, I sent the GOP $50 and pretty much forgot about it knowing that it wouldn't make a whit of difference in the outcome of the November elections, but it would let me sleep easier at night. Since that minor donation the GOP has sent me probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000 worth of marketing material asking for more donations.
Anyway, I usually joke with my wife about "Here's another letter from Trump asking me for money - what's dysfunctional about this relationship? Isn't HE the billionaire?". But this time I was wrong. Trump actually sent ME something . . . and then asked me for more money. What did he send?
A Trump/Pence 2020 bumper sticker.
Awesome!
Now I just have to decide the best way to put this thing on my asshole neighbor's Prius under the cover of darkness.

Re: So ... Trump sent me a gift
My dad told me that in the 1960's (? I think) he used to get these car and machine part catalogues from Warchovsky. These were really thick catalogues, and they'd always say stuff like: "This might be your last catalogue! These cost $1 to make so help us break even by sending us a dollar." His neighbor used to wet the unsolicited catalogue and roll it into a synthetic log for his fireplace. Eventually Warchovsky went out of business, so its possible that they actually did spend a dollar producing each piece of spam. Not a good business strategy.
Sometimes, charities send envelopes with actual change in them. They will put it in such a way you can see the pennies or nickels through the plastic window. Its very odd. Indian reservation charities always do that. I suspect its playing on the human psychology of reciprocity, and guilt.

I want a MAGA hat. I’d even wear it if I had my sons with me; no female in a black balaclava is going to get by one of their punches. No Soyboy either.

Re: So ... Trump sent me a gift
Yeah, I bought another MAGA hat too, after that kid in Texas got his swiped by the belligerent asshole, the crazy lady rammed the dude's truck, and Maxine Waters started encouraging mob justice against Trump supporters.
I mean, fuck - I don't even like Trump. But I like a strong economy, strong borders, and freedom of expression. So I either have to side with an asshole I don't like, or acquiesce to the will of a frenzied mob I despise. Not a choice I'm super happy about, but an easy enough one to make. So whether I like Trump or not, I've bought THREE fucking hats from him at this point. :smh:

One of my daughters is in Sarajevo right now with the US Army, she's works for a Major. The Major is handing out MAGA hats to the Slavs and they fucking Love them.

- Well, if anyone on Earth knows the value (and costs) of looking out for your own nation . . . right?
Rock on, I hope she (and you) have a safe and prosperous holiday season.

I imagine putting a trump sticker on something at random is a hate crime.

Re: So ... Trump sent me a gift
I donated to Cruz back in the tea party days of what? 2014? Just a small donation. Never got shit except spam from every GOP cocksucker from here to Anchorage begging me for money. Tf man. At least give swag. I did get a really cool paper from Trump after I bought his MAGA hat tho. I must have lost it. It was a nice thick parchment with beautiful font inviting me to the inauguration with him and Pence's sig on the bottom. It was a touching gesture to me at least because nobody has invited me to anything other than eat shit and die for years.

Re: So ... Trump sent me a gift
I used to get his news letters over a decade ago. I was in an apartment and quite sure I never signed up for them, let alone voted yet. The previous tenant must have subscribed. Reading those news letters on the shitter was one of my earliest redpills.pineapplemike wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 6:13 pmi've only ever given money to ron paul's campaign and i atleast bought stuff from his store, not just straight up donated lol. still have the $5 pocket constitution
