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.

Liberals are so childish. They need to grow up and join with the real world. I can’t believe they make up crap like this and then call the “media” to give them this fake news. LOL.

Shows they do not understand the meaning of Christmas or gift giving.

(hint: It should not be at all about them)

“If I were Mr. Tereska’s brother, I’d make a donation to the NRA in his name.”

Maybe for lifetime membership...lol

"Those ‘gift’ givers are certainly going to be pleasantly surprised when they receive the thank-you notes for their donations to the NRA, huh..."

Oh, that's brilliant! The volume of boldly labeled oversized NRA mail that begins arriving every week will make their neighbors suspect they've switched allegiances. Too funny :)

I remember that. George gave Co workers a check to a fake charity but I think it wasn’t festivus as he was giving people gifts of a donation to a fake charity called The Human Fund “money for people”.

The real satisfaction for these liberals would be for me to get upset about it. Sorry, won’t happen. Nothing will happen. Just silence. Let them wonder if I really got it. And since we don’t talk (or at least for the last 15 years), they will wonder for a long time.

Yes. But then his boss was looking for a charity to donate to and gave George a huge check towards The Human Fund. Then the accounting department later informed the boss tha there was no such charity. That’s when George had to come clean....by explaining to his boss about his family tradition of celebrating Festivus. The boss was then invited to celebrate Festivus with George’s father.

It use to be on YouTube, but I can’t find it right now.

If said organizations send out the usual flood of prepaid return envelopes for donations, I’d return them stuffed with random scraps of paper. Or, maybe unneeded grocery coupons for the mail room staff.

Proggies are so often petty, mean, unloving, intolerant, unreasoned, spoiled adult children. They’re a disease in America. They truly cause dis-ease.

These recipients should happily participate in registering their rotten relatives in time-share drawings, online questionnaires using their real email addresses, registering for conservative websites, etc.

And Hillary backers after spending 1.2 billion dollars get a free speech from her what a deal.

My in-laws are leftists. State union raised believers in liberalism. Had to go there yesterday for Christmas Eve Day for a couple hours of fun. THEY brought up Trump. They’d found a tiny blurb in the Madison, WI birdcage liner The WI State Urinal, that said somebody Trump knew had said he wished Zero would get Mad Cow Disease and that he wished Moochie would just admit she’s a man. I later found this tiny page 100 article as I read their newspaper to avoid conversation with them.

Now, if true, who cares, but more so,,,I don’t suppose the fire bombing of Trump campaign HQs was a problem for them, or the beat to a pulp Trump supporters, or the rent a mobs everywhere, or the cop killings with the approval of Zero (my f-in-law was a career cop and didn’t even care evidently that police are being assassinated thanks to Zero).

But if someone Trump may or may not know, made a joke about Sasquatch and Mr.Sasquatch, oh my, they sure get mad.

They whole damn world is on fire because of O’Muslim.

Oh, here’s the kicker,my sis-in-law is working in a sharia law country. Yes, she is. I know it’s stupid but so is she.
She came home for Christmas. She is dating a Qatari named ....you guessed right...Mohammed. She showed up numerous pictures on her phone, of all her male muslim pals. It was freaking frightening for a normal person, but she’s an idiot, and claims they’re all so darn nice. Until they aren’t and chop off her head. I am not kidding. She is working there for 3 years. At a school. She is stupid. She thinks being in a wealthy area, getting paid a lot, will protect her, I suppose. Party with the muslims. That what her photos showed. I was mortified. My husband thinks she’s an idiot too.

Yet this smarter than everyone else person and her parents, pick a tiny blurb about some guy joking about the usurper and Mrs. usurper to get all upset about.

Half our country is that stupid.

I think my response would be:

I hope this gift to yourself helps you feel better about Donald Trump being our next president. Merry Christmas.

Tereska, an avid Hillary Clinton supporter

Looking at his Instagram page, it looks like he likes Hillary...but loves himself.

For years I’ve told my liberal family members that current tax burdens require my Christmas budget to be cut and just give them a card.

Yes you’re right, it’s been years but I thought George was still with the Yankees when the festivus episode occurred and not with Kruger.
