Ha KGC, tell the mister to just throw up in his mouth and swallow. We gotta all see this, this convention could be the best get out the vote for Democrats ever.
President Trump, as recently as a few days ago, was brimming with last-minute ideas for the Republican National Convention. Given the folks actually confirmed to be speaking (Charlie Kirk, Trump’s children, the St. Louis couple who waved guns at protesters), I could only imagine what prime-time additions he might have in mind. So I did!
WWE-style rumble where a USPS mailbox is booed and struck with folding chairs
Special screening of “Plandemic,” sponsored by Facebook
Staged reading of “The Lion in Winter,” starring the adult Trump children
Pageant whose winner just MIGHT become the new vice president! Dare Mike Pence risk not competing?Segment a la “The Apprentice” in which all the fired members of Trump’s Cabinet are assembled for a special “The Best of the Best People” all-stars event and must complete such challenges as Firing James Comey Without Asking Questions, Giving The Go-Ahead (But Not The Order) To Clear A Square of Protesters With Pepper Balls and Insulting Rex Tillerson

Hour-long phone call with Sean Hannity just to check in
Special message from Russia, unclear what
Can’t watch. Will just read your comments. The crackers have had a tough week; they are strong enough to take it.
If the logo is tRUMP 2020, man, what dumb move. Tying his name with the worst year in memory of most voters.
Wannabes. So, the Texas hairdresser who demanded opening her salon oughta be there, looking for attention. Melaniar better keep her eye on that one; she’s liable to climb under SFB.
Funny how much GOP tried to make first hour about appealing to blacks but ended with gun-toting Missouri racists telling suburbs the blacks are coming to get them
GOP snoozefest: They so played it safe. Endless podium speeches, few videos (one played twice). No singers, a Lawrence Welk loop would have fit in well.
As I said, after having basically the week off last week, Glenn Kessler and associates had to go back to work today.
The first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention was a fire hose of false or misleading claim, mostly drawn from President Trump’s arsenal of falsehoods. Here are 19 claims that caught our attention.
(Continues to the 19 false claims that caught the WaPo fact checkers’ attention)
Well….here we are.
Mr. Cracker said he would watch until he threw up
Good evening Sturgeone.
We have already had an early edition today of Trump as Oz the Terrible so it is time to look behind the curtain.
The Never Trump groups will be putting on a Counter Convention this week.
Seeing Comey on MSNBC still makes me growl.
I’m going with CSPAN again, no interruptions. Don’t know when this starts, was supposed to begin by now
Ha KGC, tell the mister to just throw up in his mouth and swallow. We gotta all see this, this convention could be the best get out the vote for Democrats ever.
It begins
Nice images of Hillary, Nance and Kamala. They looked good
Ha, their logo is Trump 2020
ms petri:
Kicking off with white supremacist Charlie Kirk
Who are these people who say “the American Dream doesn’t exist”? That’s what we call a strawman
And the prayer in schools teacher who thinks there is only onereligion
So far, and not surprisingly, this is an opening lineup of FOX News wannabes

Only the bold.
“private moments when he comforts” people? must have been his pillow talk with Sean Hannity
Kill that woman

Drove by a house today that had a flagpole off of the front porch. The flag flying from it wasn’t an American flag, it was a “Trump” flag.
Kind of says it all, to me.
thumbnail ripoff of the DNC roll call. nice try
Romney says he empathizes? Soothes people? Romney McDaniel is delusional.
Well, the repubes always tell everyone just what they want to hear.
Interesting Pence left out of the convention logo
So far the usual rehearsed lies. That’s it for me.
ALL those people on the RNC survivor game show are miserable failures of the American educational system.
“beacon of hope for the world” as they show an image of the border wall
Jamie, I hear ya. SO many lies!
Oh God! A twanging voice says he recognized the virus early. Lies, lies and more lies!!
Does this woman have any idea Telehealth was signed into law by Obama
and before the first claim Trump invented veterans choice for private care, Obama signed that into law in 2014
ha, they just added Pence to the podium logo
this doctor was, and still is, a mask denier who got covid and exposed it to his state’s governor
Trump meeting with front line workers not wearing masks
Trump: “I love the truckers. They’re all on my side” — always all about him
geez, he’s still pushing hydroxihoax
Jim Jordan: “Democrats won’t let you go to church”
Herschel Walker didn’t mention his extensive business deals with Trump
Now I get it, the white Missouri gun-toting martyrs are both personal injury attorneys. Free advertising!
Looking at Colbert’s Late Show bingo board. Has “Stephen Miller unhinged his jaw to swallow an immigrant and get the crowd fired up” yet?
Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump Jr’s girlfriend, would be over top even for a live audience
Wasn’t Gargoyle married to Gavin Newsome?
I dunno, I’m switching between the RNC and LA-Portland. Sean Parnell is a fucking liar. Hope he loses in Nov.
BTW where is this being broadcast in DC?
Funny how much GOP tried to make first hour about appealing to blacks but ended with gun-toting Missouri racists telling suburbs the blacks are coming to get them
Pogo, I just stick with cspan, no interruptions
”…a man who works tirelessly on his slice for YOU…“
Poobah, I want the interruptions – that’s why I’m flipping between the two. LA up by 21 in the 2nd.
Trump brings hostages home to give them Covid
i keep meaning to turn this garbage on and join in the fun, but then i find much more appealing things to do.
Like, now, i’m jabbing my eyeballs with a screwdriver.
Pogo, hope you didn’t miss Kimberly Guilfoyle’s scream fest. A laugh riot
This anti-communist fanatic is over the top even for Trump. “Biden will turn the country over to dangerous forces”. What, like Putin?
Seriously how do anti-communists square coddling Putin?
Nikki now launching her 2024 campaign
“Seriously how do anti-communist square coddling Putin?”
They’re racist and he’s “white”.
The racists are gonna be so sad when they find out that their new Russian overlords have a lot of East Asian ancestry.
NBA is better than RNC – no teleprompters and speeches to no one.
But we can’t know thy enemy watching NBA
LOL. Gotta love the New Yorker.
Don Jr. follows Nikki. 2024 nomination race begins
Hey, the “New Yorker” stole my joke!
…they even stole a joke WITHIN that joke!
…if it gets Biden elected i’m fine with it😕
Nikki Haley’s sweet nothings hate speech scarier than Trump Jr’s bloated bluster. The 2024 race begins.
Bubba and Karen read the “New Yorker”, i hope.
DJTJr as a bigger prick than I remembered.
What a lying little sack of shit.
LA 80-51 at the half. Dayum.
i’ll bet the prostitution industry takes a big hit during a virtual RNC convention
…turned it on and the very first images i see are “riots”.
i see where they’re going with this…
They’re using a fucking federal building?!
…not surprised a Republican failed civics class.
Vote Trump- We Have Flags. So. Many. Flags.
Listening to Don Jr. tonight you’d think he never met his father. You’d think he would have at least faked a “great family-man” Dad tribute.
Overall I’m surprised by no significant attacks on Harris tonight. They’re scared of her. Mission accomplished, Joe.
GOP snoozefest: They so played it safe. Endless podium speeches, few videos (one played twice). No singers, a Lawrence Welk loop would have fit in well.
Tawdry.
Lies.
🎼 It started/ in Scranton/ a long time ago
🎼 The Joe Biden Presidency
I’m surprised Nikki Hayley didn’t just say I’m all Indian
Kimberly gulf oil is one creepy dame.
Melanie just on Colbert – hilarious. Roses like her husband- they smell and have little pricks.
As I said, after having basically the week off last week, Glenn Kessler and associates had to go back to work today.
Holy shit, the “New Yorker” straight up lifted my jokes from this forum. Scumbags.
Welk, it took four of you to do what i did in 5 mins, so enjoy that studio apt you hacks.
