Tonight, say a little prayer for the neighbors of Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle

Because when they have sex, it will get very, very loud.

Over the next two weeks or so, there will be chaos across this country

as parents decide whether to send their kids back to school. That is, if they're even able to do so. They will have to react to spikes and sudden closures on a minute's notice. This will affect their ability to return to work and continue to work if they still have a job.

So, as you watch this convention, please know that it will largely be forgotten by next week.

I've not seen any Republican mention the pandemic and quarantine.

Did I miss it?

--On Edit--

Okay. They had a pure propaganda reel and found some doctor to make a speech.

What do you think about "work husbands" or "work wives"?

"Work spouse" is a phrase, mostly in American English,[1] referring to a co-worker, usually of the opposite sex,[2] with whom one shares a special relationship, having bonds similar to those of a marriage. A work spouse may not just be a co-worker, but can also be someone in a similar field who the individual works closely with from a partnering company. A "work spouse" is also referred to as "workplace spouse", "work wife", or "office husband", "work husband", or "wusband".

I think that this is a form of emotional cheating which is still cheating.

Ever see the movie, "Casino"?

Remember towards the end when DeNiro's character had that talk show which he used to go off on unhinged rants? That's exactly what is happening right now at the RNC convention.

Pity there's no Joe Pesci to put Trump in his place.

After roll call vote, Trump shows up in person and starts up with his conspiracy bullshit

He's riffing. Off script. Like a bad lounge comic.

--On Edit--

Only very stupid people would find this speech uplifting. Very. Stupid. People.

DNC's roll call is vastly superior to the RNC's.

The RNC roll call is dull and boring. Looks like a corporate retreat meeting.

Republicans keep praising the fossil fuel industry during their convention

Meanwhile, CA is facing horrendous forrest fires and there are two hurricanes approaching New Orleans.

I'm seeing an uptick on the number of segments on "bipartisanship" in the news.

Especially now that it's looking more and more like the Democrats will win big in the Fall. Just saw a segment on MSNBC about it.

Funny how that works. When Republicans win, it's all about their agenda and how the Democrats better get in line.

But when the Democrats are about to win, it's all "why can't we all work together as one nation?".

Biden and the Democrats should not fall for this bullshit.

Networks better have panels of Healthcare professionals ready to rebut any wild claims coming...

from the Republican national convention this week. Especially claims of miracle vaccine or cures and/or downplaying the severity of the virus and any other fallacious claims like masks should be voluntary or kids cannot get infected.

They cannot let any such mis-information be broadcast nationally. Lives are at stake here.
