I sorely doubt I’ll be paying any attention to the next several days of endless lies in the GOP convention.
For one reason, I’m just not a big fan of dyspepsia and nausea, not to mention several nights straight of feeling queasy is not my idea of fun. And I just can’t do any more drinking games like another shot of whiskey every time President Caligula lies or mispronounces something — I’d probably end up in the ER or a funeral home.
But if you wonder how mendacious it will all be, as well as how seriously the GOP itself is taking things, you might be in for a surprise.
From the GOP 2020 Convention Platform:
“The current Administration has exceeded its constitutional authority, brazenly and flagrantly violated the separation of powers, sought to divide America into groups and turn citizen against citizen.”
Is this a joke? NO! It is quite real. It is not even turning the words of the GOP dumbass yappers on Faux against themselves.
This is not the Lincoln Project finally prevailing to their better angels. The GOP is simply copy pasting the exact same thing from 2016 to 2020 as well — YES, they are really that lazy.
Or they just don’t give a shit at this point. Who reads all that platform stuff anyway?
‘I’d be shocked if they can put together four nights without a major catastrophe’: GOP aide says of Trump’s convention
That would be fun to watch, at least.
GOP will frame Biden’s COVID-19 lockdown as ‘Hollywood elitism’ — ignoring Americans scared to die: report
From Rep. Blasie Ingoglia (R-FL)
“That is how Trump operates,” said Ingoglia. “He loves the big reveal. I think that’s what you are seeing here.”
One Pennsylvania Republican operative:
Unlike the Democratic Convention, which featured tributes to postal workers, first responders, nurses and doctors, teachers and others, Politico said the GOP event will remove what they called “mundane tasks.” Trump’s event “will be all about Trump, his supporters, his accomplishments and his vision for a second term — including the way another four years under this leadership contrasts with Biden, and all with his showman’s flair.”
Flair? Maybe like this?
Well, we will see.
I predict it will be a mix of the typical bragging (mostly lies), scaremongering, self-congratulating, and family reunion of Trump grifters and con artists begging for another 4 years to rip you off.
Not much going out on a limb, I know.
But maybe better not to ignore it, if you can stand it. Don’t throw your glass through your computer monitor or TV… get pissed, get motivated, and get every last person you know with a functioning brain to vote, and do it early. Don’t just beat the GOP this election — utterly destroy them, up and down the ballot.
Give them the thousand yard zombie stare on election night.
You’ve endured enough.
