instead always begging for money to do dumb shit with. Take this reality right to their doorstep. Let it be the talk at every coffee shop and hangout in red America.
Say nothing ! Let them wallow in this shit soup for a few days and then do it again with the next fucking they have scheduled for them.
When they ( DNC ) and other Democratic outfits start acting smart, I will start answering their solicitation calls and letters.
