You got it! Pizzaz? Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick…I. Can’t. Wait.
I’m getting so sick of this crap that the idea of a self-imposed news boycott is beginning to have serious appeal. Of course then I’d only have the voices in my head to listen to. But, hey, it works for whatzshisname, so maybe it’s worth a try.
I hope Trump’s VP nom is as bonkers as he is. I think rational minds might prevail upon him to make a safe pick, however he’s proven immune to counseling from anyone on other matters, so maybe bonkers it will be. Trump seemingly gets much of his information from insane internet memes that eventually morph into Crazy Uncle e-mail chains. Maybe one of those will tip him in someone’s direction.
Maybe he’ll run the damn thing like a Jerry Lewis telethon with solicitations to send in your money to “the billionaire” from some hard-selling flacks that have recently come on board. They’ll intersperse the convention with some heart-wrenching videos of wingnut white male victimization no doubt. Of course, what good is a GOP convention without time set aside for the obligatory spinning plates, dancing bears and talking to empty chairs by some well-known A-lister. A few excerpts from Two Corinthians will be read aloud, and a prayer breakfast for all with Jerry Falwell Jr will be offered to convention-goers as well as seniors later that evening looking for an early bird special because…of course, Jeebus endorses The Donald too.
It’ll be a ratings bonanza and isn’t that all that’s important, really.
It’ll be yuuuuge…better than the Greatest Show on Earth!
A live elephant act might be good, but that’s just my opinion. As I understand it, clowns have already been secured for the event in advance, and are already packing up their floppy feet, horns, white face paint and red bulbous noses in preparation for the festivities. Everyone knows, clowns wouldn’t miss this thing for anything in the world.
I was with you until this. I don’t understand where this myth starting becoming so dominant, that the “0.x%” has the power over everyone else. The truth is the masses REFUSE to educate themselves with facts and information about what is going on, REFUSE to act in their own self interest (see entire working class groups voting for GOP). The 0.x% have no power but to propagate misinformation, and that is so easily countered. We are in the age where anyone with a cell phone can access vast amounts of information, yet THEY REFUSE TO DO SO.
So let’s stop with the great misdirection. The problem lies squarely in the hands of the electorate. They could change everything if only they bothered to spend a few hours a week finding out what is going on.
As incredibly dangerous as the GOP is (and gullible as the U.S. electorate is), I hope he picks someone in Palin territory. My fear is he will pick someone who appears “sane” to the gullibles.
Agreeing to the nomination will shoot that illusion…
BTW, still no one in the MSM but the dour gray lady has figured out Donald liked prostitutes in high school…
Good, the more he talks the more likely he is to say something completely idiotic and offensive. Actually, it’s a given he’ll say something idiotic and offensive. The more he talks, the volume of these will just increase.
You know who else spoke every day of his party’s conventions?
No, seriously. I came across the speaking schedule for each day of the 1936 Nuremberg rally and was surprised that Hitler gave a speech, ostensibly to different party formations, every day. They put that much emphasis on the show aspect and subordinated all governmental business to doing it.
Please let it be LePage. Please oh please, let it be LePage.
I"m guessing there are going to be a lot of “who . . .?”, “wha . . .?” and more than a few “WTF?” when he rolls out his Picked Team of Winners. People in the Frank Gaffney, John Bolton tier of policy “expertise,” freakish goldbugs and deficit hawk shills on the economic side. Oh, and Christie, of course.
