@GeorgeTakei
The RNC has confirmed that Vladimir Putin will not be speaking at the GOP convention, but that Trump will still be able to hear him through an earpiece.

[BSdetect]

1. Putin gave up trying to implant trump's brain (elusive) so an earpiece suffices

[NCjack]

16. Probably a combined ear phone + shocker for correcting behavior.

[RobertDevereaux]

2. Uh huh. And when Charlie McCarthy's mouth moved...

... Edgar Bergen wasn’t speaking either.

Thank you, George Takei, for all you do!

[empedocles]

3. No really, wasn't trump talking to putin? Got to know what to say

[at140]

4. I would like to see leader of Poland speak

Poland is our best friend in Eastern Europe.

[soothsayer]

18. Ugh, my poor Poland hates the gays now

Well, the whole 🏳️?🌈 spectrum

[at140]

21. Some of my best colleague friends in Chicago were Polish

and very nice people. Would do anything for you.

[soothsayer]

22. Good to hear! I should say it's just the prez

[SheltieLover]

5. Would be funny, if this weren't true.

Although, putin might be a surprise speaker for goputin.

6. The hand does not confuse itself with the yoyo's.

7. Too Bad -- Their Party Trick Where Trump Talks While Putin Drinks Vodka Is Always A Hit! nt

[Scarsdale]

8. Many a true word is

spoken in jest! As many gop people who are owned by Vlad, this would not be a total surprise. He could pay them all while he is there, in person. Since they could not make the trip to Moscow in person this year, bring the cash to THEM.

[Buckeyeblue]

9. All of Trump's supporters indirectly speak for Putin.

[niyad]

10. I wish this were a joke.

[mdbl]

11. Putin will be there speaking through Trump

his puppet.

[eppur_se_muova]

12. Earpiece ?? Has something gone wrong with the implant ? nt

[DBoon]

25. They couldn't find enough brains left for an implant

[turbinetree]

13. And he will be reading his personnel letter to him off the teleprompter.............

POS traitor..............

[Danascot]

14. That may be but he's sending his Representatives

and his Senators
and his pResident.

[Ilsa]

15. And yet, his voice will be heard.

Now that would be a hilarious prank: a hack into their tv feed with Putin endorsing Trump and dictators, cross burning, and nazi tattoos with a pic of Charles Manson as an example.

[onecent]

17. I don't understand why trump has to have a SPEAKING CONVENTION,

Why doesn't someone go AND ARREST HIM FOR SHOWING UP IN 16? i don't get this.
I'm just asking a question.

[Eyeball_Kid]

19. This seems improbable, since Putin is an upper echelon official in the Republican Party.

I urge the GOP to reconsider this decision. Putin plays a very important role in the Republican Party and the entire Executive Branch. Please give Putin his due. He shaped US politics in a major way. At a minimum, Putin should be the Keynote Speaker, but the more fitting role he should take is that he should introduce Trump as the party's election nominee at the culmination of the convention. He played a singular and important role in Trump's 2016 victory and should be publicly thanked by the GOP leadership.

[Traildogbob]

20. Oh he will be speaking loudly

Through every one of his ventriloquist PUPPETS.

[teztkals]

23. Guest speaker at RNC

26. I wonder who it could be

ted Nugent seems a bit used and worn out. Maybe he'll have Chuck Woolery? He can do a Love Connection type show for trump to pick out his next wife?

[GopherGal]

27. #myfriendvlad ????

seems a pretty dubious choice of hashtag

[mercuryblues]

34. Even he can't be stoopid enough to do that

Oh. Wait.

After calling the Russia investigation a hoax for 4 years, he would be stoopid enough to have Vlad to give a speech to support him. Especially after Vlad's opponent has been "mysteriously" poisoned.

[GopherGal]

35. The link is a picture of a supposed tweet

Could be a fake.
Could be a screen cap of a now-deleted tweet.
Could be the real deal (I'm not terribly motivated to subject myself to Orange Foolius's recent sewage to verify)

But the depth of his stupidity is not to be underestimated.

[DBoon]

24. But will Victor Orban speak?

[Cha]

28. Rt!

[warmfeet]

29. So, the earpiece will be inserted

up his rectum?

[Beartracks]

33. Don't be silly. That would block the sound of his speech.

[warmfeet]

36. Yep.

[keithbvadu2]

30. Will there be a suspicious shape under the back of his shirt like Dubya?

Will there be a suspicious shape under the back of his shirt like Dubya?

[LisaL]

31. A pity. Just imagine the ratings for that one.

NT

[DENVERPOPS]

32. Not an LOL

"W" Bush did exactly that in his debates......Remember????????

[Sympthsical]

37. Putin may not be speaking, but his hand will be up a variety of asses

Worst. Jeff Dunham special. Ever.
