— How Trump could exact revenge against the NFL – Claire Atkinson (DIERSEN: Who blames you for their problems, for your problems, and/or for everyone’s problems? I should write a book about my critics/opponents who blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. The aforesaid “exact revenge” against me by discouraging everyone from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. It seems like they urged the Republicans in my precinct to vote for Kasich in the primary election and for Clinton in the general election. Previously, they, their operatives, and their dupes exacted revenge by ending my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, my Milton Township Republican Central Committee webmaster position, my Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership, my GAO employment, etc.)
