Whatever will Donnie do without others to assume culpability for his failures?
I’ve got a pool entry for him going off-teleprompter on night one.

Megalomania is not served well by sycophants. There’s no control.

To be fair, most nominating conventions spend a good amount of time focusing on the nominee, but in second terms, they generally focus on what has been done and what is still on the agenda. In this case, “what has been done” will be glossed over as “more than any other President has accomplished” and “what is still on the agenda” will be “ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!”
Looks like a good week to read a book.

“Lovely, Lovely”…Best Criminally, Corruptly and Mendaciously Inclined RNC Speakers Day1
And those beautiful epic self owns too…RNC has no 2020 platform, so their 2016 is the valid platform …
Given that the Republicans are saying their 2016 platform is valid again this year, it sets up some ... awkward statements in 2020.https://t.co/KZk314PFJO pic.twitter.com/CT392KzeWU

[“Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and more than two dozen other ex-Republican lawmakers signed on to a “Republicans for Biden” campaign on Monday, the Biden campaign announced ahead of the first night of the GOP convention.”]
Flake is sure to be one of Trump’s targets (thus ensuring that Flake’s organization receives more publicity 
).

Things I’d rather watch:
- A town hall with his sister and niece
- Re-runs of Mayberry (gotta learn to think like the enemy, ya know)
- The Libertarian Convention

“The honorable Ivanka Trump” is the only one presented with an honorific.
Making it clear that Princess Anastasia, er, Ivanka is the Heir Apparent to the GOP…

It will be just as it was predicted to be. It opened with some asshole from Vermont offering prayer. He said God is on a journey with Trump and that Biden is not true to his faith. Yup. A man that has endlessly broken Commandant after Commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness”, “Thou shalt not commit adultery”, “Though shalt not take My name in vain” and now…“Thou shalt not kill” is riding shot gun with God and God’s lovin it!

“The honorable Ivanka Trump”?
Is she a lawyer or a diplomat that gets granted this honorific?

We all know that it’s going to be a shit show.
California is burning…two giant storms are heading toward the gulf coast…derecho storms flattened crops in the midwest…Siberia is on fire…Phoenix recorded the hottest summer ever…droughts…floods…arctic without ice…Greenland melting…Atlantic Ocean heating…hurricanes getting bigger. I wonder if the Republican/Trump/QANON/Putin Cult Party will mention Climate Change in passing?

PLEASE Joe Biden…please tweet out a dumbass-Jedi Mind-trick. Just before Trump goes on the air, tweet out something…anything…and say that Trump can’t do it on live TV or isn’t strong enough to do.
Then get the popcorn.
“Sleepy Joe…people tell me that’s what they call him…it’s what I call him…anyways…he says that I can’t s&ck my own d&ck on TV or that I’m too weak to do it… WELL LEMME SHOW YOU…”
Count on it.

The theme of the RNCC’s first night is: “Land of Promise”
Indeed. He promised chaos, he delivered.
