Trump backers get 'revenge gifts' from relatives: donations to "liberal" causes {barf alert}

When John Tereska’s Trump-voting family members open their gifts from him on Christmas Day, they will get a shock.

hen John Tereska’s Trump-voting family members open their gifts from him on Christmas Day, they will get a shock.

Inside pretty boxes they’ll find notes thanking them for making donations to organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Sierra Club that support causes expected to come under attack from the new administration.

“With my oldest brother, who I know voted for Trump, I’m going right for the jugular. I’m donating to the Democratic National Committee on his behalf,” Tereska said.

Tereska, an avid Hillary Clinton supporter, is so mad at the relatives who voted for Donald Trump in November that he’s giving money to progressive not-for-profit organizations in their names, in lieu of Christmas presents this year.

“It’s revenge giving,” he added, with relish.

Ken Urban, a playwright who teaches part time at Princeton University and voted Democratic, has made donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on behalf of his parents as their Christmas gifts.

These people really are out of their minds. Their true colors and their true character have been revealed. These are Hillary’s people.

his is worse than that.

It’s an indicator of selfishness within the soul.

There are millions of weak minded persons in this country who have been absolutely convinced by the media that Republicans are evil people that aould starve their grandmothers to make a dollar. In their twisted minds, they are fighting evil. It’s diabolical, really. Literally, diabolical.

The “gift” may have been in my name but was their money.

Question, if they donated to such a place in my name do I get the tax deduction?

If so then they have just gifted me cash in a delayed form.

Only progressives could make revenge a part of Christmas. They are truly sick people.

It’s also likely to make the conservative ‘recipients’ of such a ‘gift’ more inclined to do whatever is needed to screw over the espoused causes of the ‘gifter.’

That is correct, and why we need to return to what the founders intended, eliminate income tax, and the IRS. Promote energy independance, finance government with sales tax. Eliminate property taxes nationwide.

I’m very sorry that these fine Americans have to suffer jack**s fools at Christmas. We had the privilege to attend a dinner last night with a wonderful Trump supporting family right down to the teens. One of the young men is on the honor guard for Marine One at the Inauguration when obama hauls his sorry butt on board for the last time. He told us that he will be mentally flipping him the bird as obama boards.

This clown is a total nut-job. His entire family should ban him from their circle. He’s crazy with anger. What will he do next?

Fake story.

This is a copy of the ‘Festivus’ episode of Seinfeld. It’s hilarious.

I’ll see if I can find a link.

I do believe that many liberals are deranged enough to do exactly that. (Thogh I did contribute some money to Smith & Wesson Holding Corp and Sturm Ruger & Company after Obama was elected. Fortunately, he didn't manage to screw up the country enough so that it was needed.)

It would be the last gift he got from me and the last invitation to my house. These fascists truly hate our constitution and form of government when they can’t get their way. F them all.

Liberals are so very intolerant in their tolerance.

What is wrong with these people?

My sister is a liberal Dem who can’t stand Trump, but I love her and would do anything for her.

They are out of the their minds. You can’t replace family.
