I Don’t Donate to Politicians, but I Will to Liz Cheney
The Wall Street Journal ^ | August 5, 2022 | Joseph Epstein

Posted on 08/05/2022 8:43:05 PM PDT by Trump20162020

I am a minor-league philanthropist. I give modest sums to animal shelters, the preservation of wildlife, children’s hospitals, my local public library, the Simon Wiesenthal Foundation and several other organizations and institutions. I don’t give to universities, lest they think I encourage their wanderings from their true mission—although I have considered giving $5,000 to Northwestern University, where I taught for 30 years, and earmarking the money to be spent exclusively on a Jewish tight end for the football team.

I have never given money to politicians or political parties. Yet I am about to send a $200 check to Liz Cheney for her Wyoming congressional campaign. Ms. Cheney, who is trailing more than 20 points in the polls against Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman, appears all but guaranteed to lose her congressional seat in the Aug. 16 primary. She says she has been unable to campaign openly because of credible death threats posed, one assumes, by ardent Trump supporters. The Republican Party in her home state has abandoned her. It not only endorsed Ms. Hageman but flatly refuses to recognize Ms. Cheney as a Republican.

Think of an amount you want to give, then double it.

This person is writing about himself and how virtuous he thinks he is. He uses “I” as much as Obama.

How is this news? Is he some kind of celebrity?

Note the last name. Any relation to someone who didn’t kill himself?

Liberals are such fickle bitches. Remember when they thought the Cheney family was evil personified, even more evil than the Bushes. And Romney was murdering old ladies with cancer?

Now they think all of them are slightly more virtuous than Jane Goodall and the cast of Hamilton combined.

I am being completely serious. We should donate a couple of bucks to Liz Cheney's campaign, especially if you don't donate to other republican campaigns ... and if you have deep pockets, you should donate the max to her. I'll tell you why.

Cheney is absolutely going to lose in the upcoming primary by shameful amounts. Probably she will set records for an incumbent not facing jail time losing in a primary. Everyone knows this except for idiots and true believers, both groups are incredibly valuable resources for sussing out the next round of anti-Trump candidates.

A campaign donor in one campaign has his or her name and contact info passed along in a list of "potential donors" that is shared among friendlies. If you donate once, you're on a list of willing patsies for years if not decades. You can be that early warning siren months ahead of time that someone is only pretending to be who they say they are.

Those people also get invites to events and insider information about candidates that the general public doesn't catch wind of early. Imagine being the lone camera footage of a 'secret' gathering of anti-Trump republicans because you were invited into one of their private frundraisers.

Imagine the fun that a $50 donation could net you if you had that type of scratch to spare. Could be awesome.

She’s not campaigning because

A. No one would show
B. If anyone showed, they would boo
C. She’s too busy running her J6 obsession show.

So what does that make Cheney, a prostitute?

Would you say, this is one of those moments, when we say, we have already established what you are, we are just negotiating the price? 😆🤗😀

OY, so disappointing from Jos. Epstein. I guess, in the end, he just doesn’t get it.

Thank goodness! I can now rest in peace, knowing Joey (stompy-feet and panties-in-a-wad) Epstein is going to slide up next to Liz and pass Her $200.

That will definitely destroy all those "Trumpers" and their death threats to Liz!

You Go Joey!

Ride that Broke-Back donkey into Battle and save (I will be President) Liz.

Obviously a useful idiot until they are no longer useful. Enough said.

There are more productive things that the author could do with the money.
