The Republican national Convention

Oh, well, that is nearly universal! All of us guys who are among the smartest and hippest people ever, and who are blessed with having an SO who is equally so…our only real challenge is meeting the standards of deserving such good fortune!

Being smart and all, they know this, and never feel any need to sneak a peak at our browser history, or check what we might be saying on some message board! Nosiree, Bob, no need for that!

Coming from weird, whacked out Europe, what I can’t imagine is the partner of a candidates being in any way relevant to the election of the politician. LIke I really want to hear what Mr May has to say.

She’s always maybe 20 pounds away from being tossed to the curb.

But maybe it’s good, in a sad way. Enough of the dog whistles, the winks, the nods. Trump has emboldened the bigots and the racists, and I want to see those freak flags flying. If I turn on the convention tonight and see some of the delegates wearing white sheets, it will be downright refreshing. Let these people disgrace themselves publicly.

I actually saw an article talking about how handsome Mr. May looked in a suit, but I think it was satire making fun of the way the wives of politicians are treated.

MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall had Scott Baio on and really castigated him over his claims to being a Christian after posting disgusting imagery of Michelle Obama and Hillary. He did not appreciate it.

What I don’t get is who keeps marrying that douchebag! There is NO MONEY in the world that would entice me to allow The Donald anywhere near my vagina.

Now some other old white guy from Iowa has said that no other group other than white people have contributed more to society. There was a black woman on the panel, you should watch the video just to see her reaction! But this kind of shit comes out of Republican reps’ mouths all the fucking time and then people are like “hur dur dur…what do you mean you’d never vote republican?”

Oh, and it kind of breaks my heart that Scott Baio is apparently a sexist misogynistic dinosaur. He insisted it was “not nice” of Tamron Hall to question his faith. But calling the opposition a cunt is perfectly Christian?

Ugh. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

ETA: On the other hand, I think I have a little girl-crush on Tamron Hall now.

And he actually said that Obama is not a Christian name. WTF is a Christian name? Does he know anything about his own faith? Since when do names have anything to do with it?

It’s not that long ago that Cherie Blair was making quite a few political statements, and getting media coverage for it. Seemed to help Mr Blair more than harm him overall.

Having fun with Melania’s accent (or any other element of her immigrant background) isn’t about Melania either. It’s about the hypocrisy of Donald’s playing to xenophobic nativism.

I had never seen that. I didn’t look into the whole matter but if Obama really did plagiarize that other guy’s speech then that is really fucking lame.

Still, “But… but… but… he did it too!” isn’t much of a defense.

I laughed when I read about Mrs. Trump’s plagiarism. I cringe now that I’ve heard about Obama’s. The different reactions are because I support Obama and I do not support Trump. But I think both situations are ridiculous and shameful… why would anyone do that? Do they think they won’t be caught?

The dog-whistle is: “Obama is not a white name”

I think that was Antonio Sabato Jr., another speaker Monday night.

That wasn’t Baio, that was Antonio Sabato, Jr.

ETA: Ninjaed! And by the only thing I have to fear!

In other news from last night, Scott Baio is apparently a complete douschecanoe. Interesting exchange with an NBC anchor here.

One thing about this whole incident: It proves Donald Trump’s contention that immigrants steal from hardworking Americans!

Okay. I heard that second hand. That’s what I get for not researching before posting.

Does that mean that Trump will now refer to her as “Liar Melania”?

Never Trump delegates plan one final push tonight.

A secret phrase? Probably something to do with the Uniform Commercial Code. :stuck_out_tongue:
