Isn't it incredibly sad that anyone would look at the RNC speakers and think:

Oh! I am going to watch every minute of that! I used to LOVE Chachi--- honey, remember when he first dated Joanie???

I don't understand why Dems don't think Ivanka and Melania are gorgeous! If I had that money, I would have plastic surgery also--

These are the leaders we NEED to make our country great!

This is the result of killing public school funding for decades- or was it ever really funded?

They claim to be smart...
but they are some of the most stupid people to ever be granted so much attention NOT named "Snookie"...

They claim to be business savants...
but they are collectively corrupt and have a composite business IQ around room temperature...

They claim to be eloquent speakers...
but they are nothing short of high school drama club level actors, extras at that...


Tiedrich had it right a long time back...

was that Republicans are proud of their fear, ignorance, bigotry, and hate.

Donald Trump gave them a celebrity platform to take it out in the open.

There is no policy (other than to install right-wing judges). I suppose “repeal and replace the ACA” has been a policy goal of this administration, but nobody ever took it seriously. Sean Hannity asked Trump twice, in two, separate interviews, “What are your policy goals for the next four years?,” and Trump had NOTHING. He mumbled, talked about experience, and then launched into his standard list of personal grievances.

This administration has no policy beyond holding on to power at all costs.

She's an evangelical nut. Not too bad other than that, but anyone who publicly PROCLAIMS their Christianity immediately turns her brain to mush.

Edit: Aha! After reviewing the ToS again, I might have found the explanation for why these kinds of posts by me never get touched! Hmm... could be a problem for me.
