Orange Orangutan and glass houses!

Just ask Bill Maher…
He asked Orange Orangutan to prove he was not the son of an orangutan.

Like a doting but affectionately exasperated father calming his children down when they’re getting up to their hijinks. And he always makes it a regional thing—it could only happen in North Carolina, it could only happen in Texas, it could only happen in Germany in 1943, whatever. I said elsewhere this isn’t a rally; this is a bunch of politicians and they have to be aware they’re on national TV and aware as well that blatant disgusting racism is a bit démodé in the world of normals.

“This can only happen in North Carolina,” he said.

No, Orange One, racism happens EVERYWHERE.

One more, then I will stop:

“We go high; they go racist.”

In 2016, Trump’s campaign was based on “Make America Great Again.” In 2020, it’s “Keep America Great.” If this is “great,” WTF is bad?

“This can only happen in North Carolina one of my racist, hatefest rallies,” he said.

Fixed it for him.

I’m still wondering: Has he ever noticed that his rent-a-wife, Beelzebub’s favorite landscape architect, bears more than a passing resemblance to a Rhesus macaque that has been forced to endure entirely too many botox studies?

“And that included President Obama–” Trump said before he was suddenly interrupted.

“Monkey!” an audience member shouted.

Trump paused for a few seconds, then pointed and said “Let’s be nice.”

As the audience laughed, the President joined in with a chuckle of his own.

“This can only happen in North Carolina,” he said.

We knew Trump speaking every day was going to be a messaging disaster, but who had him fucking up the entire first day (maybe the entire convention) before early afternoon?!

If the prime time network coverage doesn’t cover this tonight, they need to just set fire to whatever pretense of a News Division they claim still exists.

Made it all the way past noon on the first day to go blatantly racist?

How are they so far behind schedule?

When racism is the only plank of your platform, you stick to the platform. Anything higher and they’d have to build a ramp. And we all know, Trump has problems with ramps.

Well, I snickered when someone said “asshole” while the Orange Asshole spoke.

Though we know why we’re here, he was a messaging disaster in '16, yet…

Don’t forget this comes from one of their “top” delegates who made the 300-odd cut to the convention.

Imagine what the delegate ranked #301 on the leadership scoreboard would have shouted.

P.S. Why the hell isn’t this given more prominence on the TPM homepage than frat boy Fallwell?
