The 2020 Republican National Convention thread

Omigod. They bring on The Black Guy Of The Day to say, "I know what racism looks like, and President Trump isn't it."

Then he goes on that all lives matter shtick.

Guy needs to be stopped on the way home by a psycho cop. Let's see how he feels then.

............I lasted five minutes before I had to close my browser in disgust. I need to see something with more class.

(Looks up Pornhub.)

Remember the "Obama's going to have Marxist troops marching down your street to take your guns"? Shit, the only real gun legislation he passed was allowing them in federal parks on on Amtrak trains. They preach fear, not facts.

It's almost as if we have a whole generation of people believing we lost the Cold War.
 
Biden will destroy the farmers! He will crush the middle class! Ok Joni Ernst, good try...

Other than Tim Scott, the only black people supporting Trump seem to be NFL players. 3 so far I’ve counted.

”Mobs torch our cities and the Democrats are socialists!” Is it mob rule or is it socialism? Make up your mind. And yet again, a speech that talks about how evil Democrats are, ends saying ‘let’s work together!’ Gimme a break.
 
I am amused somewhat by the way Trump, on the first day of the convention, talked about how daaark and scaaaary the Democrats' convention was last week.

Then they proceeded to put on a dark and scary convention. To hear them tell it, the end of the fucking world is nigh. Save us, Donald!

What I like is that the media have really picked up on it. Many stories I read about this convention are talking about how negative and gloomy the whole affair is.
 
Another Trump family member... with a boring speech saying how great a guy Donald is. Then she has to praise him directly. Surely that was a condition of her getting to speak.

Well organized regiments of tactically minded anarchists invading our streets to further their communist causes!
 
I really enjoy the PBS coverage of the RNC. They have analysts on both sides of the issue, and they provide many pertinent facts and fact-checking.
 
I'd watch more of it, but I think I've already got the gist of the plot they're going for: Trump is the greatest ever, and we're all about to die.

Everything beyond that are just variations upon that theme.
 
OMG, make america great again, again ... it's like a headline from the Onion.

Kamala will stomp Pence's guts out.

Nikki is her real name, and it’s her Indian name; it’s not an Anglosaxon name or a nickname.

Hmmm....some sources make it seem like a nickname or an anglicization. I could be wrong.

I remember when I went to grad school and was waiting for a required meeting about student grants and loans, and a Chinese student came up to me. We spoke for a long while about the area, and she asked me what name I liked better, and proceeded to show me two English names she was going to pick because she believed her name was unpronounceable for westerners, and that people might mistreat her.

And, even if I'm wrong about Nikki Haley, it's clear there are lots of people of Asian decent who pick western names to assimilate, or choose nicknames to hide their culture. And, my reporters all face an incredible amount of racism on a daily basis. A Latino reporter is told to go back to Mexico—he's from San Diego, by way of Texas. Another reporter is told to get on the boat to China—and her family's been in the west since the 19th century.

So, for Nikki to argue that this country isn't racist to a point is bullshit.

My Chinese friend settled on Daisy.
 
I'm digging this summation...

Swalwell Blasts RNC: 'This Is Not a Political Convention. It’s a Crime Scene'

Swalwell blasts the RNC

The Republican National Convention is under criticism from Democrats for the string of apparent Hatch Act violations that have appeared over the course of the convention.

The Hatch Act is a 1939 law that prohibits employees of the executive branch (with the exception of the president, vice president and first lady) from engaging in political activities while in their official capacities.

On Tuesday night, acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf oversaw the latest apparent violation of the Hatch Act when he presided over a naturalization ceremony at the White House as part of the Republican National Convention programming.

Wolf’s actions were widely criticized. Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) wrote, “This is not a political convention. It’s a crime scene.”

Shame she's only brown when it's convenient.

Who was the angry scary-looking woman in red who spoke last night?

It was Kimberly Guilfoyle, channeling her inner Dr. Rockso. You would think that having been married to the governor of California would make her unpopular with the RNC, but apparently not.

I'm kind of surprised no one else caught this one. Perhaps too old of a reference?
