I did two extremely productive things this morning, and so can you!

First - I squeezed out a tube's worth of blacktop asphalt repair caulk to seal up this crack in the driveway. I think pests were burrowing in the crack, so I said fuck 'em - I built a wall (against ants)

Second - I donated another $25 to the future Madame President.

They both feel like the same thing. And whenever Trump annoys me enough, I donate, which you can see isn't good for my retirement savings.

Do you have five dollars that you're thinking about spending on a bacon egg and cheese sandwich (on a roll, naturally)? Or maybe you were gonna buy some loosie cigarettes? Or perhaps you were planning to pickup a few cans of Mountain Dew, or maybe some delicious RC Cola? Well don't!

Take that five bucks and donate it here for victory:

Kvetching online is fun, but accomplishes nothing. The right-wing nut you're arguing with is probably twelve years old, or maybe some KGB/FSB Putin flunky. Donate $5 -- or more -- to Hillary.

If you've donated recently to Hillary -- check-in below. I give you well deserved applause...

I can't afford big donations, but I think we've all seen how small donations can add up.

Go, Hillary!

I assume you made the ants pay for the asphalt?

But I paid for it myself, got tar all over my hands, and the queen ant is doing just fine

but by the end of a year it adds up to a rather nice, "hey, every little bit counts." Of course, there are only a couple months left, but donations set up now could be continued for 2020 or shifted to the DCCC or DSCC for 2018.

It's good to do your part, and a little tech makes it easier. Also nice that the Dems let you cancel recurring donations!
