Left-wing ActBlue raised a record amount of money from Friday evening until Saturday morning following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

According to ActBlue’s website, which keeps track of donations, Democrat candidates and causes raised nearly $31 million over a 12-hour period, which spanned from 9:00 p.m. Eastern to 9:00 a.m. Eastern on Saturday.

The online web tracker for donations was estimating $100,000 per minute for some time in the hours following Ginsburg’s death but slowly trickled. In the hour after Ginsburg’s death was made public, the group reported at least $1.5 million in donations:

I believe even if they raised 310 million, it still wouldn’t get Biden over the finish line. 8>)

Democrat money is at a slow trickle while there is a huge wave of cash to the Trump campaign.

Good. I like to see Socialist Democrats parted from their cash and then it’s flushed down the loo! :)

They can post anything they want on their website and claim it's true. Why should it be regarded as fact?

Maybe they did and maybe they didn’t raise this amount. It cannot be verified and it makes no difference in my view. Clinton out raised Trump better than 2-1 in 2016 and lost anyway.

From just a handful of donors. Half that or more must have come from Mini Mike.

Of course he would funnel it through small ‘independent’ donors.

A Democrat fat cat or two sent in the bulk of that money, and they’ll list a bunch of names to make it look like it was being donated by rank and file Democrats! The donor class is keeping the DNC treasury filled up, and not the everyday RAT voter!

It’s obvious the Left has some well-heeled money people.

They also have the unwashed, fascist shock troops in the street in the way of Antifa and Black Lies Matter.

If Cocaine Mitch can get Trump’s SC nominee confirmed, if Trump can win reelection, and if the Republicans keep the Senate, it is going to be interesting times. And if the Republicans were to take the House—batten down the hatches.

A Fool and His Money...are like a Slut and Her Legs.

This is why they are so hysterical over Ginsburg.

Roe v. Wade.

Woman up and get married, Dems.

It took e a long time around the 1980s for me to become convinced that hypocrites who use the capitalist free market system to become millionaires or billionaires, then try to undermine the system by leftist, Marxist, BLM Inc. style crap.

Some of the billionaires’ money goes to promote messages that “no one but the elites of the GOP can make it here” “There is no chance for the black person today to get past systemic racism and be a financial success.” “The racism of the Founders still holds back the black today”.

Note: Oprah has $2.5 billion (up $6 million from 2019) and pushes that stuff. Crazy.

1970s slogan I heard several times a year from feminists:

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.

After such a woman finishes feeding her cats and knitting little sweaters and hats for them, ask her how that worked out for her.

President Trump is fighting the Soros billionaire group; he is fighting our media; he is fighting the corporations mentioned ... America pays more for labor than China and other countries...do you, Robert DeLong, see the conundrum? Have we painted ourselves into the proverbial corner?

How do we compete? We need to hang onto our Churchill for another four years....
