Wow talk about a shit show lie fest. Yes, I watched the first night of the Republican convention - I don't blame anyone who didn't.
Years ago - I believe it was during George Bush Sr - I committed myself to watching at least one night of the Republican Convention and reading their platform each election and have done it since Bush Sr. I do this to remind myself just how horrible the Republican party is and what they stand for. Trump may have taken things to a whole new level, but as far as I am concerned it has been a truly horrible party since at least Nixon. Well, I don't even have to bother to read the platform because the committee voted not to have a new platform and just pledge allegiance to Trump. Unbelievable. I thought it was going to be amateur hour since they kept changing everything until the last minue and with Trump micromanaging everything, but on that front it was okay. However, it was mainly speeches from a podium (taped but made to look live) from a federal building - which they shouldn't be doing. The lying was off the charts. You would think Trump was this very kind, caring man who has saved us all from COVID-19 and Biden and all Democrats are evil socialists who are destoying, rioting and looting - and wll make it even worse if Biden is elected. You would also think the Republican party is quite diverse made up of lots of black people, latinos, asians, etc. The whole thing was bizarre and from another planet. They lied about everythig - from small things to major things. Just an utter shit show. I don't plan to watch anymore of it.

I am sure the whole world is 'watching' and if American's let the toddler in the WH get away with this, then there will never be a way to recover (imo). Thanks for keeping us posted. I appreciate it, a lot.

The Republican Convention
Fear-mongering, demagoguery, nightmare scenarios, loathing...all that was missing was Jew-baiting and you'd have a Nuremberg Rally ... but that might come tonight. How despicable!

The lying and gaslighting was bad enough, but what i could not stomach was the way in which SOMEHOW, every sentence uttered by every single speaker had a racist dog whistle in it! Like they must have had a specialist working on it. Just stunning

Seems Melania has the toughest Convention job of all: trying to humanize Donald Trump.
BTW Trump has had one major success. He's managed to make the phrase "FDA Approved", suspect.

Don Jr. & his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle both were seriously deranged and looked drugged out. I hear cocaine was trending on Twitter. The most mind-boggling of the lies to me was Trump's coronavirus. In their alternate universe Trump took decisive action and provided the much needed supplies. What???? Who can believe this gas lighting. I don't think most people are worried about cities being overrun by mobs or that Joe Biden and the Democrats are going to demolish the suburbs. That seems to be the only argument they have against Biden so far at the convention. I don't see how this could appeal to anyone other than those who were already planning to vote for Trump. I sure hope I'm right.

Strange thing, where I live the inner cities are where "white" people live. No one else can afford to live there. Everyone else lives in the "suburbs".

When the McCloskeys talked about "if it can happen to us it can happen to anyone" I do believe they were talking about white neighborhoods being "invaded." Pure racism. Trump is also trying to appeal to white suburban women since they are a significant voting block but I don't think his tactics are very effective. Is "cancel culture" a widely-known phrase? Do they use it on FOX? Just wondering since I only vaguely know what it means and they used it over and over again last night.
