Spice Up The ACLU!

Sean "Orbit Cinnamon Gum" Spicer sure can't catch a break! Neither can our freedom of the press, apparently. This fundraiser to benefit the American Civil Liberties Union can be in your name -- yes, YOUR name! -- if you accurately guess the date that it is announced that Señor Dippin' Dots has either resigned or has been given the boot from the Trump administration.

Here's how to play:
1) Donate, you cheapskate.
2) Leave a comment with the date that you predict Spicer's departure from the administration will be announced. Last eligible date is 12/31/17.
3) Sit back, relax, and swallow two and a half packs of gum.
4) The entirety of this campaign's earnings will be donated to the ACLU in the name of the winner on the date that Spicer's departure is announced. I'll be withdrawing it and will donate it in the winner's name -- but obviously the winner will get a heads-up first.

Technicalities:
-- Yes, this is legit. My Twitter username is @caro (I even have a blue check!) and a screenshot will be posted when the donation is made.
-- You must pick a specific calendar date, not a date range like "third week of April." 
-- If you don't pick a date but still want to contribute, that's cool too! But you aren't eligible to win :( :( :(
-- The winner will be the person who chose the date that Spicer's departure is *announced*, which I'm pointing out because it may not be his actual departure day. So if it is announced on March 6 that Spicer will be departing on March 10, the winning date is March 6.
-- If no one picks the exact date, the closest one wins. If two donors pick dates equidistant from the date of departure (e.g. one 5 days earlier and one 5 days later), the donation goes to the ACLU in the name of whichever donated more (this is your incentive to not be stingy!) If by some weird coincidence two people who donated the same amount of money chose dates that turned out to be equidistant from the date that Spicer's departure is announced, I'll know we're officially just living in Elon Musk's personal video game simulation, but anyway I'll figure out the solution to that somehow.
-- There is no upper limit to this fundraiser.
-- Read all prior comments before you pick your date because if you pick one that someone else has picked, you will not be eligible to be the winner but the ACLU will still get your donation.
-- If you are the winner, no, I don't know if you can write it off on your taxes. Ask your accountant.
-- If Trump resigns or gets kicked out of office, the winning date will be the date that it is confirmed Spicer will not be sticking around to clean up the PR mess.
-- If, by some miracle, Spicer is still employed by the administration on 12/31/17, the ACLU will get all donations that day in *his* name.
-- If, by some bigger miracle, people beyond my friends pay attention to this fundraiser and every single date between now (1/24/17) and the end of the year gets picked, we will officially go into CITIZENS UNITED MODE™ in which you can bump yourself ahead of a prior donor by picking that donor's date and donating more. If you are the prior donor, no, you do not get your money back. But you can donate more to get your date back.

THIS IS NOT GAMBLING. NO ONE WILL WIN MONEY. It is a friendly fundraiser for people who care about civil liberties, particularly press freedom, regardless of who they voted for. 

And I claim February 17.
