I'm going to use my Trump Check to support Democratic candidates going forward.

I'm in OK shape financially...not rich, by any measure, but able to tread water over the short/medium term.

So, I decided I will set up an account to deposit this check into and use it to get more Democrats elected.

That is awesome. I have been donating little amounts of money to DNC.org, and recently went to their shop and had a field day of finding things I thought were actually pretty cool. I will help them as much as long as i am financially able to of course.

He wants to take credit for the money but I refuse to let him have it. You shouldn't either.

I want to reserve 50% to Joe, 30% for defeating Sue Collins and the rest will be targeted to McConnell, Arizona Senate, and other places where it can help.

His signature displays his illiteracy perfectly. No one would know the name of who wrote this. A reflection into his mind, I think.

I'm proud to say I make too much, now that I'm finally into the six-figure range 7 years after graduating from law school. It doesn't go as far as I thought it would in a high COL area, but I'm more fortunate than most and I'm grateful for that. I still plan on donating to Biden and to a few downballot Dems, but it would be really satisfying to get a check with Trump's name on it and donate that exact amount to Biden.

He's been awful for this Democracy...worse than Bush/Trump combined. The ultimate asshole when it comes to legislation. I miss my home homestate SML, George Mitchell.

I have a list I'm currently working on regarding various campaigns that I KNOW could benefit from your generosity. I'm going to be posting it next week on DU (as well as send an email to my friends who are able every election year to set aside money for campaigns).

I think what you're doing is wonderful! Some of the campaigns I'm looking at are:

Phil Arballo vrs. Devin Nunes
John Hickenlooper vrs. Corey Gardner
Sara Gideon vrs Susan Collins

Obviously, I have others and will post on DU next week...
