Hey! What happened to all of the Trump fundraising...

... e-mails that used to fill up my Spam folder?! Should I feel slighted?!



I apparently got on their e-mail list, and thereafter treated like a Trump supporter, after sending an INSULT e-mail to the Trump campaign in early 2016.

After the 2020 election, their grifting efforts were worse than ever! But now... NOTHING.

I'm not even sure when it suddenly stopped because I periodically delete everything in the Spam folder. Seems like it stopped around the time that Russia first invaded Ukraine. Or perhaps when the 1/6 investigation was more in the news weeks ago? I'm not sure.

It has stopped completely for me, at least for the last few weeks. Such a drastic change from getting so MUCH of it, especially after the 2020 election.

If it's still happening to other unwilling recipients, it's a bit more of a mystery to me.

But he didn't donate a dime after '17. You actually told them to 'F off & they STILL sent you requests! Maybe they got better with their screening!

I certainly never donated a penny to him over all those years, and it was obviously ludicrous that they even bothered after I sent them an insulting (but truthful) letter by e-mail in 2016... which was clearly never read in the first place.

How much of the billions of dollars that's been poured into Republican campaign accounts over the past six or more years were originally counted in rubles or another foreign currency. No way all that money came from the rubes, suckers and losers who vote for the bullies. Whatever shall they do to fill the gap? Koch and his ilk will part with only so much of their wealth. I think they were counting on a well that has gone dry. I hope they all die of thirst.

I doubt seriously that Trump or anyone ever reads any insult emails. They probably all get mass deleted every day or so, because there must be thousands of them, and Trump just doesn't give a hoot what we think. For him, we are merely dumb clucks to be conned.
