At around the 2:15 mark, it sounds like the crowd is shouting “He’s a crook! He’s a crook!” They finally caught on! ---

I saw a thing where the Whining Felon was whining about how his handlers are telling him to stick to policy, but the mean, mean Democrats are being mean to him. Which made me think. If your policy is shit, it is like they say, “_In Soviet Russia, policy stick to you._” ---

So now we have VP Kamala Harris, Governor Walz and the former disgraced ex president each having stopped speaking to get medical assistance to someone in the crowd. What will they try next? I’m just kidding, but imagine the competing political ads we will be subjected to soon. ---

Don’t leave Taylor Swift out. She did that a number of times on her tour. But back to bashing Dumptf - he’s probably going to give himself an award for this, a bigly reward, huge, bigger than the Medal of Honor; and it will have his picture on it and gold leaf and… ---

That’s more expensive than he can afford. It’d be gold leaf, but he’d _say_ it’s solid. ---

Is there anyone out there still pretending the melon felon and his America-hating party support law and order?

(The link goes to Yahoo.) > **Trump to host awards gala honoring “incredible courage and sacrifice” of Jan. 6 defendants** > > Just one day after lengthy footage of violent insurrectionists storming the U.S. Capitol on [Jan. 6](https://www.yahoo.com/news/jan-6-bound-celebrated-republicans-110001242.html) was shown to attendees and remote viewers of the [Democratic National Convention](https://www.salon.com/topic/democratic_national_convention), word has begun to circulate that former president Donald Trump will be hosting a gala event in their honor in September at his Bedminster, New Jersey country club. And if you don’t think there’s some grifting going on, then you’re just a moron. (Same link as above.) > Tickets for the event start at $1,500 and are intended to “help cover costs and support the defendants and their families, with exclusive benefits and recognition at the gala.” ---

I’d say that would be par for the course. Remember this? [How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2017/06/06/how-donald-trump-shifted-kids-cancer-charity-money-into-his-business/) > The best part about all this, according to Eric Trump, is the charity’s efficiency: Because he can get his family’s golf course for free and have most of the other costs donated, virtually all the money contributed will go toward helping kids with cancer. “We get to use our assets 100% free of charge,” Trump tells Forbes. > > That’s not the case. In reviewing filings from the Eric Trump Foundation and other charities, it’s clear that the course wasn’t free–that the Trump Organization received payments for its use, part of more than $1.2 million that has no documented recipients past the Trump Organization. Golf charity experts say the listed expenses defy any reasonable cost justification for a one-day golf tournament. > > Additionally, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which has come under previous scrutiny for self-dealing and advancing the interests of its namesake rather than those of charity, apparently used the Eric Trump Foundation to funnel $100,000 in donations into revenue for the Trump Organization. > > And while donors to the Eric Trump Foundation were told their money was going to help sick kids, more than $500,000 was re-donated to other charities, many of which were connected to Trump family members or interests, including at least four groups that subsequently paid to hold golf tournaments at Trump courses.
