Per Rachel, the RNC Convention isn't a convention at all.

[nolabear]

I thought it odd they’d done the nominating part and acceptance speeches already. No nominations, no platform, it’s a “pageant” for Spanky and ilk.

I plan to watch. We’ll see how far I get.

Got to admit, with the audiotape, Kellyanne leaving, Falwell crashing, Eric facing legal action, etc. it hasn’t gone particularly well so far. 🤣

[MustLoveBeagles]

1. I won't be watching

I'll be checking this site for the low lights.

Edited for spelling

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Same here. I'll live vicariously through other people's musings.

[KewlKat]

2. Hubby thinks we should watch to hear their lies...I don't think I have the stamina.

[MustLoveBeagles]

6. I don't think I can either

I'm not into torture porn. My hubby might hate watch it but I wish he wouldn't. I don't want to have to buy a new TV.

[TheBlackAdder]

21. Make it a drinking game. Have a shot every time they tell the truth! You'll be sober. 😂

[a kennedy]

3. We're not watching either.......

[quaker bill]

4. I would not want to contribute to his ratings

so I will not tune in

[The Genealogist]

5. No way I'd watch that shitshow

If I wanted to see a mess of swamp creatures acting swampy, I'd find a live stream from a camera in the Everglades, thank you very much!

[Cha]

7. It's a Gathering of the Swamp.

[ancianita]

23. It's also the gathering of the cult

to explain what Trump means.

[mucifer]

8. Well it's not like decades ago when we didn't know who either party chose.

Biden/Harris was already decided, too and you could say the roll call was pageant.

It was awesome.

But, NO ONE thought Bernie would be nominated.

[Doreen]

9. Face it, it is just another rally.

Just a little more glamorous but still just one of his sleazy rallies.

[Initech]

10. It's just four days of shithead and his equally shitty family.

[mdbl]

11. Not watching it either. Don't have the stomach for it

It would be like watching Rush Limbaugh boinking a goat. Just sickening.

[Music Man]

12. I've tuned in because I'm curious to see the format, especially following the DNC.

I also get curious about what we're up against and what the rhetoric will be going into the general election.

But tonight may be all I can take. It's just nasty, dishonest, divisive, dishonest, gaslighting crap.

[Generic Brad]

13. I can't bring myself to watch

I’m over my monthly quota of hearing lies.

[johnnyfins]

14. Just watched 30 seconds of Jr.'s speech.

He is such a dickbag. Like father like son. There is NO way that Ivana is his mother. Both parents are blonde and he comes out with that jet black hair. Prolly the product of Donald and a maid or something. What a family...

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

15. Me too. Then I vomited in my own mouth.

[ancianita]

17. Right? "Not the dark. Not the dark. YOU'RE the dark!" is what he says about Biden and the

Democrats.

I'm been watching the latest iteration of Mulan, but as I heard him, I had to get a grasp of how they see themselves and the world.

While they pride themselves on their love of "liberty" which I know is defined by the Koch, Mercer and .01% as MONEY; and love the nation, which they equate with THEM, they think their rule is best for their version of freedom -- AND, ANYone can join the Republican Party!

Nowhere is there any sense of justice. It's JustUs. Opportunity and money solve all justice problems, in their world.

THEY EVEN THINK IT'S OKAY TO FAIL CIVICS!

"We're flawed but we're always striving to be better!
We don't give in to cancel culture or the factually wrong belief that things are worse today.
We have made tremendous progress.
Trump has built the most inclusive economy ever!
We put hard earned tax dollars back in people pockets, lowered single parent families taxes by 70% on average."

From Tim Scott:

"Joe Biden spearheaded the Crime Bill.
Joe Biden's racist.
Joe Biden wants to come for your pocketbooks because of this covid and give it to elites. Trump really wants to put more money in your pockets.
Our side is working on policy while Joe Biden Democrats are trying to change what it means to be an Americans.
Don't watch what Joe Biden says, watch what he does, what he has done.
Radical left Democrats want a cultural revolution, a socialist utopia, which only turns to misery for people only wanting to rise.
Instead we should focus on the promise -- my story is proof. From cotton to Congress in one lifetime.
The next century can be better than the last.
The Republican ticket gives you the best change to make the American Dream a reality."

[SergeStorms]

26. ..."the factually wrong belief that things are worse today".

I don't remember 176,000+ people dying from a virus last year. Or the year before. Or the year before. Or the year before etc.

That's factually wrong, fuckface?

This is why I can't watch that poo-flinging shit-show. My blood pressure couldn't take it.

[ancianita]

27. Their whole schtick tonight was: "See? We're 'good people' AND care about keeping

America and Western Civilization together, and Trump's the one to do it!

I'm beginning to see the merits of listening to what they say they believe about themselves, and what they actually do.

What's behind it all is that Rule of Law is an inconvenient obstacle to what America's really about: making money.

When a Trumper asks me "what crime?" I list them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump?fbclid=IwAR2OstmurYRQ_33ZxUv0fTGdQVwqfvbG0UzUOw29jdDajNunACEKkbj4Y74

When I ask a Trumper about Biden, I get nothing but Fox talking points. AND always the Crime Bill, and how he "spearheaded" it. I was there when it passed. The Black Caucus was begging for that bill after their communities were torn up by the CIA's flooding of drugs into them.

[iluvtennis]

16. I tried to watch to see what other side would do. I didn't even last 20 minutes. No diversity and

everyone was just kissing trump's irange butt. yuck.

I'll just watch the talking heads afterwards.

[calimary]

18. Just have it on in the background but not paying much attention.

Listening with more interest to the analysis - Rachel, Nicolle, and Joy. Glad they're fact-checking!

SHEESH... this is interminable. Just trudges on and on - or yawn and yawn! WHEN does it end?

I guess I missed Nikki Haley. Got in a mood to finish pulling weeds while there was still some daylight. A neighbor and I cleaned out a potential bed for ferns and maybe another tree, but MAN was it overgrown! Also just about to go to seed! Glad to have that taken care of.



But seriously. When are they wrapping this up for the night?

[BigDemVoter]

19. I watched about 15 minuters.

The last thing I heard was, "There i no evidence of person to person transmission of Coronavirus." I thought I misherad it, but I'm sure I didn't.

[Praek3]

22. Separation of Church and State

My God. For Christ's sake. Jesus Christ. Lol.

I would hope any higher power out there has better things to do than listen to these low lives.

[Jarqui]

24. I can't watch

I can't won't Trump the satisfaction of a tiny blip on his ratings.
None of whatever it is they have to say is of any interest.
It will be so jam packed full of lies.
I have better things to do.

[patphil]

25. With Don Jr. speaking tonight, I could almost see a swastika behind him.

The stage had a surrealistic, Hitleresque quality to it.
When he raised his hand at the end I could almost hear the crowd cheering, "Sieg Heil".

This passes for the Republican version of patriotism.
Pretty scary stuff.

[DesertRat]

28. I only want to Melania's speech. Tues night

I plan to break out the wine and have some laughs reading the Twitter comments.

[bigtree]

29. Trumpalooza
