I smell panic-and it smells like victory

I don't know how my email got on this distribution list, but last night between 1 A.M and 2 A.M. I received 5 fund raising emails with messages from Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich, Steve Scalise, Devin Nunes and a couple of other members of Trump's Hitler Youth. Obviously it was from a mass email so I couldn't reply and mess with them-like telling Nunes I would send him money but he'd probably only use it to buy cigarettes from the prison commissary. Anyway, apparently we should all run and hide because the radical left and "San Francisco elite" are coming to get us. I sense the panic-like when Godzilla comes walking out of Tokyo Bay. It's Barbara Streisand! Run for your lives! (Just picture Nunes' mouth speaking the words with the sound not quite matching up.)

This sounds like desperation to me. When your opponent is down, you put the pedal to the metal and make sure they stay down. These idiots have one thing right-it's time for the final push until election day. We're going to at least take a piece of our country back and the Republicans are scared to death. I wonder what they have to be so frightened of?

Michael Avenatti recently helped raise $4.3 million to help defeat me in November.

Michael Avenatti is the porn-star lawyer who's spread some of the most malicious personal attacks on Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh. Avenatti has been actively fundraising for my opponent, and even hosted a "resistance party" in San Francisco to raise money against me.

Avenatti isn't the only one working to unseat me.

The radical left has recruited the Hollywood and San Francisco elite to help fund my opponent - people like Barbara Streisand, Rosie O'Donnell, and Barbara Boxer.

For two years, the left has been relentless in their crusade against me.
They are terrified of my work uncovering government corruption at the highest levels and will stop at nothing to silence me.

Let's tell the radical left that enough is enough. With your help, I know we can count on victory.

Sincerely,

Devin Nunes

Yeah, particularly the part where you were hiding in the bushes at the WH when you got caught passing info to the regime to undermine an investigation.

all have the same desperation about them. "The Hollywood elite is against you!" "They'll take your Medicare away!" Which is funny, because that's what the Goopers want to do.

They are Hitler Youth, but, we need to be aware that nothing short of overwhelming the polling places will make this happen. They are suppressing the vote big time. Many Hispanic people I know are not going to vote because they fear ICE will be there, even though they are now citizens. Scary times.

FYI for those who like to gamble, the betting odds on PredictIt lag 538 and other major models. Some nice money making opportunities.

Exactly right! The "Blue Wave" is us -- IF we all chip in on GOTV and other support for Democrats.

I don't receive these moronic emails, but I have been getting snail mail appeals -- most recently from "The Office of" Melania Trump!

Every three-page letter includes about 5 requests for money, complete with places for suckers to indicate whether they're giving $100, $250, $1,000, etc. (I forget the exact amounts, but they try to plant the notion that forking over two months' worth of prescription money is a capital idea.)

I've shredded them all, but the next time I get one of these missives I'll copy Melania's signature and post it on DU -- it is an exact duplicate of The Donito's sadistic scrawl, as seen on his ceremonial order signings except it's her name. Apparently she's such a devoted and servile Stepford Wife that she's adopted his slashing, cruel penmanship as her own.


Love how she's using a permanent Sharpie to write on an erasable white board! But who is "Secret Agent 23 Skidoo"? And was it Melania who wrote "Stop bullying me"? A cry for help, perhaps??

I am interested in becoming a member of the radical left San Francisco elite. Can this be done without being able to sing and dance? I can provide my own pitchfork. I don't know any porn stars but would be willing to rent a tape if that's necessary.

On one hand, I'd like to know how they got my email address. On the other hand, this is like having an email subscription to the joke of the day. They like to send these in the middle of the night. 1:35 A.M., when all good republicans should be in bed-or getting up to pee for the 4th time.

Fellow Conservative,

Throughout my acting career in movies and TV shows like Walker, Texas Ranger, my role was to rescue good people who found themselves under attack from the bad guys.

No matter what you’ve seen on TV, I can’t save Greg from the bad guys all by myself. No one person can.

Left-wing BILLIONAIRE George Soros and liberal Washington, D.C. special interests believe that taking Texas is the key to seizing control of the entire country. If Soros and his liberal pals can take Texas and its 38 electoral votes, they’ll have a lock on the White House for at least a generation!

Fellow Conservative, if you believe in the survival of freedom in the Lone Star State and America, these are not threats any conservative in any state in the country can afford to ignore.

Will you make a contribution of $100, $50, or even $25 right now to support Governor Abbott as he fights to keep Texas red?

After Republicans had their weakest showing in Texas in 20 years in 2016, national Democrats and left-wing special interests are coming after Greg with everything they have.

Sensing that the political winds may be blowing their way in 2018, ex-President Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder will likely make Texas a top target in their efforts to win state-level elections.

Meanwhile, their pals in the press are already bragging that it’s a done deal. In fact, Washington, D.C.’s The Hill bragged that “Texas Democrats Smell Blood in the Water for 2018.” Another news outlet asked, “Could Democrats Really Turn Texas Blue in 2018?”

That’s why I’m writing you to ask for your IMMEDIATE help.

Will you pitch in right now and join the fight to defend Texas in 2018?

Greg is one of the only conservatives in the country with the guts to take on sanctuary cities—signing legislation into law to force lawless local government officials in Texas to enforce immigration law or face stiff penalties.

After the law’s passage, Fox News stated that his bill “could inspire other states to take a similar approach” – which is exactly why liberals are trying to derail it in court even as I write you.

The case will likely ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, and I can promise you that Greg is prepared to fight and win—just as he has so many times before.

If there’s one thing you need to know about Greg, it’s this: He’ll never let us down. I know this firsthand.

I’m counting on you to pitch in right now to support Governor Abbott as he fights for the future of Texas!

Sincerely,


Chuck Norris

P.S. Fellow Conservative, with special interests and national Democrats targeting Texas as the key to seizing PERMANENT political control of our entire country. This fight is only the beginning.

We have to save Governor Abbott from the bad guys—but I can’t do this one all by myself…

Can you make the most generous contribution you can right now?
