Discussion: The Opening Night Of Trump's RNC Was Even Weirder Than You Thought It'd Be

1 Like

Nah, none of that’s genuinely weird. That’s just mundane, regular old GOP bullshit. Honest-to-God, 24 K gold weirdness would be something like Melania Trump plagiarizing another first lady’s speech. Or maybe a Republican congressman claiming on national TV that white people are largely responsible for civilization. But that would never happen, that’s just too bizarre.

TPM:

“Who said nothing good comes out of reality TV?” Sean Duffy asked after sharing that the couple just had their eighth child.

I do - you never should have been allowed to reproduce.

TPM:

Several speakers called for Clinton to be jailed …

It would be karmic justice - as well as plain ol’ regular justice - if Donald Trump were to be jailed for tax evasion and business fraud.

Flynn encouraged the crowd to break out in a chant of “lock her up!”

Someone sounds a little bitter. I’m beginning to think Flynn must have hit on Hillary and got rejected.

What about Hillary’s secret Muslim conversion? Didn’t underwear boy know that Obama wouldn’t allow any qaffirs into his cabinet? Hillary had to convert.
I know what you’re thinking: what about the other cabinet officers?
Shhhhhh. It was Hillary, just Hillary.

So I’ve been searching for just the right words to accurately describe
this Don the Con shitshow and it finally came to me: hate porn.

It is not the rah, rah, rah that is so perturbing, but the outright attempts to provoke rage by acts of cruelty and bald faced lies. How anyone can get behind it is utterly pitiable.

I am getting a much deeper appreciation of Hunter S Thompson’s lifestyle choices,
it was probably always this weird, but not that unredacted…

I’m offended at the idea that TPM would dare make assumptions about how weird I thought the first day would be…

What?

No mention of Melanoma plagiarizing a big chunk of her speech from Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic Convention speech.

Nope, exactly as big a shitshow as I anticipated. It will only get worse as the week progresses. Hey, let these morons enjoy their moment in the sun; the rest of us will continue to live in the real world. And as for Duffy? Pumping out eight children requires little or no talent, just a willing and fertile mate. Happens every day…nothing to see here, move along.

And as the lies mounted, as the plagiarism became evident to even the most obtuse 10 year old, the media stepped in to point out these fabrications, being the good civic leaders that they are.

Just my thoughts. Oooh look, a unicorn!

They still have a ways to go to match the inspiring Nuremberg Rallies, but then, fiscal responsibility, you know.

@meta Well, you’ve heard the old line about never letting the truth get in the way of a good rabble-rousing lie…
