Even YOU could be on this list…
Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro, whose brother is a Democrat candidate for president, put targets on the back of donors to President Donald Trump and he thinks it is fine.
The representative decided that it would be a wise idea, as the nation is tense, to publish the names of private citizens who donated to the president.
These were not big donors or famous donors or something of public importance. The idea was to intimidate these people.
There could be no other reason than to intimidate them and others who are considering donating to the president.
“Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner of @BillMillerBarBQ owner of the @HistoricPearl, realtor Phyllis Browning, etc.
“Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders,’” he said with a list.

Only one journalist, Huffington Post author Yashar Ali, had the common sense to call out Castro for his reckless act.
“The campaign of a member of congress targeting individual donors, and their businesses, to another campaign (and not famous billionaires) is a terrible and dangerous precedent to set.
“Also, this isn’t even Joaquin Castro’s opponent. Not that it would be ok if it were. Awful,” Ali said, to which Castro to responded.

“Yashar, I respect your work and writing. I’m certain that NY Magazine and Huff Post have printed similar graphics with name and employer many times before because it’s not private and it’s publicly reported. There’s no private addresses, phone numbers, etc. No ‘call to action,’” Castro said.

“Congressman, that comparison doesn’t make sense to me. When news orgs publish the names of donors they are newsworthy.
“But someone merely donating $2,700 does not make them newsworthy. Sure it’s public info but why is a member of congress doing this? It sets a bad precedent,” Ali said.

So what do you call this kind of threat for all Americans that donate to Trump’s campaign? Seems like to me since this Jerk, Juaquin Castro should go back to Cuba and do his terrorizing instead of trying to be the President of a country that he hates. He has to hate it seeing as he is playing the same games the Dem’s are playing –terrorize the people so they will vote for us Socialists/America Haters. BUT JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION CASTRO, WE DEPLORABLES ARE NOT AFRAID OF YOU OR ANY OF THE OTHERS THAT ARE THREATENING US, i.e. Waters, Clintons, Obamas, Piggoski, Scummer, or any other liberal lunatic.
I like your post Joan, it is dead on. Seams all is fair if you are a democrat but nothing is fair if you are a conservative.
It’s past time to give the Anti-American Left a choice. Deportation to a country of their choice, (if any would take them) or death for treasonous crimes against the Constitution and the American people. If they continue on their current course they will cause a civil war, which means they choose death, for true Patriots will destroy them.
I ‘m with you Joan. Also if my name is not on that list it should be. I had never donated to a candidate for President until Trump declared he was running for the Presidency. I not only donated once but several times and I will again for his re-election. I’m a PROUD donor and would also be proud to see my name on the list. Just as I am proud when I wear my Trump hat and fly my MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN flag on a daily basis. God Bless our Grerat President.
Castro must mean his shit list Not Hit list because he couldn’t Hit anyone the Chicken shit!!!!!
Castro has officially become one of the most vile, obnoxious, arrogant, pompous, despicable, deplorable, disgusting, revolting, nauseating, pathetic and DANGEROUS lying scumbags in the history of Congress.
I would be beaming with pride if my name were on this list.
Lets publish a list of who’s funding these anti american liberal socialist bastards ! who is funding this Scum !
Joan,
I agree with your entire comments. It makes me so mad that I intend to contribute even more than I have to President Trump’s campaign. So take your ideas and your “HATE AMERICA” attitude to some other country. I’m sure the military junta will appreciate you anti-government, anti-president ideas, so much so that they may allow you to stand in front of a wall for target practice.
Does anyone who his contribiters are , if you do then publish online , now.
First lets get rid of all the demorats running for office – this is so totally “UnAmerican” – vote these demorats out of office – it just shows their TRUE COLORS – they are truly more like Nazis’ – this is how Hitler started & its scary.
Hey castrated , thanks now I’ll double down on my donations to the Trump campaign.
lets me know which businesses to spend my money in, thanks
The left is full of hate, they are the problem, Democrat politicians and there news media all spewing hate, even going to politicians homes, restaurants and even at there offices. The hate they spew is 24/7 on TV and print media, they are clueless on how to fix anything so all that is left is hate!
I agree these people are HATERS – this is how Hitler started (National Socialist Leader) they want to CONTROL & DYSTROY America – they only way to keep them out of office is to VOTE REPUBLICAN – this was what Obama was suppose to do when Siros backed him into office – Siros is a self-hating Jew with millions with 1 mission & that was to destroy America. Be very afraid!
These democrats are more like Nazis – this is how Hitler started. Be very afraid – they want to destroy & control America!
These democrats are more like Nazi’s – this is how Hitler started – BE VERY AFRAID OF THEM!
If you don’t own a gun, get one. From the looks of the hate I see on here from the Democrat party, we may be looking at another civil war. There is so much hatred for fellow Americans. May God help us.
This how Germany & Hitler started!
Time to publish a Hit List of Dummycrats in GOP held districts.
Then I hope that I am at the “TOP OF THAT LIST!!” COME GET SOME MF’ers!!
Then I hope I am “AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST!!! COME GET SOME MF’ers!!”
This is why you cannot trust or depend any Democrats. They are trash. They are dangerous! They don’t offer any resolutions just openly harmful.
So far it’s been trump and the Republicans that have been civil..calm and non threatening…on the other hand the Democrats have been threatening..endangering lives…used abusive and threatening language towards trump and his supporters ..the Republicans have been sympathetic for the victims and want to seek solutions to the problems….and trump has been the only adult in the room while Democrats have exploded into a blind rage of threats and hate.
Just remember you PC. of s_it. Dont be surprised if Republicans start acting like you Dimwit Demons, if a Demon prez. gets elected, remember the Repubs get 3 weeks if bawling like you did, have the authority to do vandalism and loot, while they set cop cars on, and complain about EVERYTHING Trump does. You Demons are setting the new standards. You dimwit demons, may as well get rid of all the constitution, can’t do the pledge to the flag, etc. Congrats for trying wreck America. Got news for you unpatriotic pukes…. We Americans are going to stand against you pukes!!! Go to you Muslim countries and live a miserable life. We don’t need or want you, but we will defend our America.
I wouldn’t EVER vote for a FKN Democrat, may all the bastards rot in hell. What a bunch of dick tater wannabe be’s Every one of them should be charged with terrorism, because that is what they are. Where in the hell are those who enforce the law? This is a threat against American citizens, who do not think like they do.
THIS PERSON SHOULD BE RELIEVED OF OFFICE AND NEVER ALLOWED IN AGAIN….
Damned losers can’t take it….They lost the election and they are pissed. Come get me MFer I voted for my President, and when you take my voting right away, we are no longer a Democracy, we are a dictatorship, and I’ll bet you bastards want to be the DICK taters. (I’m not dumb, spelling is correct and intentional)
You dick tater bastards want me, {I voted for our President, and will do it again.} I am ready, and I can guarantee you will not like it.
Isn’t this kind of action illegal? Like a public threat? Shouldn’t people so targeted be allowed to sue?
I hope Castrp gets sued by every person whose name was published. It should be against the law to publish that Iinormation. He will be less rich when they get through suing him. Hope it bankrupts him.
There are a lot of sick puppies in the Democrat Party. Many if not most/
when in the hell are they going to lock you Democrats up for death on Republican donors that is against the law . the house of justice if you don’t do something about the treats the Democrats have committed then if anyone is killed or hurt you should be held accountable for it.
If you are a democrat, listen closely.
There comes a time when all else fails, and you feel defeated. The path you choose, will effect you forever. You must consider the outcome of your choices, your history in the United States Of America, is full of your losses, and failed policies, this not only reflects on you, but it reflects on everyone you have forced this on.
We the people of the United States Of America
will definitely stop you.
