Republicans sure do love their crooks, including adjudicated rapist Donald Trump, adjudicated fraudster and convicted felon. You know, I was driving down a county road the other day and saw somebody that had a “Convicted Felon for President- Trump” flag in their yard. Way to let the law-abiding citizens know who to avoid! hah. I saw that that little guy Mike Johnson said they were the law and order party but everybody knows that slogan went away a long time ago, especially with Trump at the helm. I don’t actually care at this point what the DNC does about Biden, I’ll vote for him over creepy Trump no matter what.
I did not watch the convention, because, first, my time is much more valuable than that to watch kook criminals (they even brought back the guy, Navarro who just finished his jail term for ignoring a subpoena! Plus felon Paul Manafort and felon Roger Stone! Woo! ) But I have seen plenty of good jokes and commentaries. Trump said, in the middle of his speech, he is trying to buy the votes of the people that attended-hah.
Here’s Melania dodging a kiss from Trump (she must think he’s really gross, too)
And here he is snubbing his daughter Tiffany
Hah, so much for Trump’s pretend unity. Unity as long as you’re a white guy I guess, otherwise you may be part of his mass deportation.
Hah, never one to leave a dime on the sidewalk, Con Man Trump selling shoes about his attempted assassination. All class, that one 🙂
Trump’s strategy to create the illusion of being “sober” and “moderate” when he took the stage Thursday was simple: Be painfully boring. After a lengthy bout of self-pity over getting nicked by a bullet, he attempted to deflect accusations of ignoring the guy who actually died by literally kissing the man’s uniform. It was a disgusting move, but smart play. It is likely to be the headline story from the truly terrible speech that followed.Â
The speech was written and loaded into the teleprompters but it was hard to tell. Trump hit all the hateful talking points about immigrants, “woke” people, and Hannibal Lecter. But it was so boring, it’s unlikely to make much of a ripple. Even the crowd that was ready to worship him could barely work up the energy to care after nearly 90 minutes.
Trump may have buried his hate under the tedium of his speech. But the rest of the convention, like the “fight fight fight” sneakers, told the uglier truth. The transparent dishonesty of the “unity” talk was reflected in the interviews Salon had with delegates and other Republicans attending the convention. Most of them seemed to understand they were expected to talk positively about “unity,” but when pressed on what the word means to them, things swiftly got weird.
And, because Republicans channel World Wide Wrestlers as role models
Hulk Hogan offered a dumber and far more entertaining take on the same theme. He repeatedly insisted that the only “real Americans” are “Trumpicans.” To his credit, however, the pro wrestler probably had the clearest vision of “unity” of anyone at the convention. “Unity” is about creating an in-group of right-wing white Christians that have the rights and freedoms of citizens. The rest of us — the majority of Americans — are excluded from “unity.”
Also, what in the heck is going on with Republicans, that they want to compare Trump to god or say that god spared him? So does that mean god wanted that guy who DID get killed dead? It’s not only illogical but stupid and not hugging on his uniform is going to make that not ridiculous. (RNC mispelled his name)
