The Wild Blue Yonder of GOP electioneering
I have posted more than a dozen emails from Republican bots that somehow imagine that it makes sense to flatter me with effusive praise for my patriotism and my long standing support for the Trump Cause.
After I ignored several of the appeals, the tone shifted to scolding me for not responding to previous duns.
This morning, it goes back to flattery:
Mike Johnson, 56th Speaker of the House
You
Friend, I’m not alone in believing you truly deserve this. My colleagues and I at House GOP Headquarters were all in agreement.
In fact, we’ve made a unanimous decision.
If there’s anyone who has a record worthy of this, it’s you.
Your name was just given to me by our Platinum Committee here at House GOP HQ.
First of all, Congratulations! This is reserved only for top supporters of our movement.
But I have to say, you've been so outstanding in your record of support that you’ve built up a profile that falls within the TOP Tier of GOP Patriots.
Based on your recent history of support, your profile is just one (1) contribution away from 2025 PLATINUM STATUS.
And because of this, I wanted to extend you this personal offer, straight from my desk. Today, I’m giving you a **private link** to secure your PLATINUM STATUS for the rest of the year for just $7 TODAY ONLY!
CLAIM STATUS >>
You’re one of House GOP’s most trusted patriots, and you deserve to have the status to reflect that!And before you click, I want to let you know that we’ll be leaning on you for your opinion on matters as we move forward.
You can enjoy your PLATINUM STATUS for the next year for just $7 right now.
I’m putting this deal on the table because we can’t afford to lose our most trusted allies when our majority is as thin as it is right now!
Can I count on you to LOCK IN your status now?
LOCK IN PLATINUM STATUS NOW
Thank You, God Bless You and God Bless America!Sincerely,
Mike Johnson
56th Speaker of the House
On behalf of House GOP HQ (Platinum Committee)
I honestly do not know what specifically to make of all this nonsense. I refuse to believe that any human being is sending these emails. I post them because it seems to me that this shows how absurd our public life has become.
Creeping chaos.

Platinum status!
Well, there you go. Who could resist that?
Clearly the winning tactic has revealed itself to them. With that in their hind pocket, the dems have no chance....
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
Hey, fwf
The strangest aspect of your contribution requests is that it happens to be from Republicans, for when I was a Democrat donor, I received the same shit from them.

Oh, I still get duns from the Blue Cult
My faves came from Adam Shiff when he was my Congressman.
His were almost as risible as these Trumpian emails. But not quite.
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
