Friend, 

We’re finally here! One of the days we’ve been waiting for. Donald Trump has actually appeared in court for the first day of his porn star hush money case. No more stalling, no more whining, and no more avoiding the inevitable. Today is the first day on the road to calling the orange moron “convicted felon Donald Trump”.

Sort of unsurprisingly, the media is downplaying this. We understand it. Trump is so unbelievably strange, has so many court cases against him, and seems to break the law every day of his life. He’s almost normalized the fact that he is the first president in over 250 years to be the focus of a criminal case. Almost.

Any way you cut it, this is a huge deal. Ah, to be a fly on the wall of that courtroom. To watch our least favorite lunatic take the stand and sweat spray tan down his face. We’d pay good money to see that.

But, since that’s impossible, we’re doing the next best thing. While he's wasting time he could be spending out on the campaign trail, we’re committing our resources where it really matters, in Arizona and Wisconsin. He’ll (hopefully) be getting the book thrown at him in a New York courtroom, and we’ll be running powerful ads. We’re telling swing voters who the Republican candidate for president really is. We’re getting ahead of the curve.

This is what we want to keep doing. All the way leading up to November 5th. Because when you know the two sides of this election, it’s really cut and dry. We have a criminal on one side and a steady leader on the other. It’s that simple. So help us educate voters, grow our base, and secure a win for democracy in November >>
