The 2020 Republican National Convention thread

And then this happened:

House Democrat opens investigation into Pompeo's RNC speech





I’m sure tomorrow they’ll be spinning this into a “hoax” or persecution of the Vanguards Of Our Precious American Liberties. Or some such bullshit.

They just bury the Hatch Act.

Love seeing Fox News pundits getting slapped with some truth.

Why doesn't anyone see the irony of a person on a news network wondering why another network did NOT fact check?

I mean, what stopped Faux from trying to fact check of their own during the DNC?

Or is she admitting that fact checking just isn't Faux News thing?

They just bury the Hatch Act.

Just watched the coverage on ABC Nightly News and they were saying it's unprecedented for any secretary of state to speak at a convention. But are we surprised by anything they do right now? There are probably mob bosses out there who are like "damn, he did what??".

Abby Johnson speaking now - is this who they want to represent them?

Then the racist brat who made fun of native Americans is now acting persecuted. Boohoo for you. He is so beaten up by the horrible native Americans.

And the attacks on him are just because he’s Christian, not because he’s a smug little prick who was mocking a native american... yeah right.

The “heroes” of the right are so pathetic. A bratty kid that should have been spanked is now a hero of the right.

Somebody's missing from the lineup.

RNC Speaker Cancelled After Boosting QAnon Conspiracy Theory About Jewish Plot to Enslave the World

One of the speakers for the second night of the Republican National Convention was pulled from the program after The Daily Beast surfaced a tweet from her, earlier in the day, urging her followers to investigate a supposed Jewish plot to enslave the world.

“Do yourself a favor and read this thread,” Mary Ann Mendoza, who is a member of the Trump campaign’s advisory board, tweeted to her more than 40,000 followers Tuesday morning.

...Hours earlier, Mendoza had linked to a lengthy thread from a QAnon conspiracy theorist that laid out a fevered, anti-Semitic view of the world. In its telling, the Rothschilds—a famous Jewish banking family from Germany—created a plot to terrorize non-Jewish “goyim,” with purported details of their scheme that included plans to “make the goyim destroy each other” and “rob the goyim of their landed properties.”

Drawing on more than a century’s worth of anti-Semitic hoaxes and smears, the thread claimed that malevolent Jewish forces in the banking industry are out to enslave non-Jews and promote world wars. Riddled with QAnon references, the thread from Twitter user @WarNuse claimed that the Titanic had been sunk to protect the Federal Reserve, and that every president between John F. Kennedy and Donald Trump was a “slave president” in the thrall of a global cabal.

The thread also promoted “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” an anti-Semitic hoax popular in Nazi Germany, and claimed that its allegations about a Jewish plot to control the world are real.

Tiffany is speaking... pretty terrible; all about cancel culture and the evil MSM.

 

[Thomas Veil]

Love the comment somebody left on Eric's Teabonics page:

"When does Putin speak?"

 

[SuperMatt]

Mike Pence is speaking... makes me long for the relative charisma of Tiffany...

You guys are masochists I'm suffering second hand brain damage just from what you're posting. So much garbage in so little time.

It is bad. It is really bad. (The recurring theme here).

I had to tell the wife either we switch it off or I go downstairs ...

I hear the 2024 convention will be held in the northwest...in the woods...in an open area surrounded by sycamore trees.

 

[SuperMatt]

There were a handful of nice stories but they didn’t seem to have anything to do with Trump... something about a cop helping an addict... supposedly related to Trump’s anti-opioid policies? I didn’t know Trump did anything to help with that,

 

[SuperMatt]

He is observing the swearing in of new citizens now. How did some of them get here with the Muslim ban in effect?

 

[SuperMatt]

Eric Trump trying to copy his brother’s beard and speech. More culture war BS. The Democrats are going to kill everybody’s freedom with the evil of cancel culture. What a crock... is anybody buying this?

I also love how they all talk about how great the economy is... the economy is in terrible shape right now!

 

[SuperMatt]

Joe Biden was there when we killed Osama Bin Laden... but the terrorists will make a comeback if he is president.

Joe Biden is supposedly going to cancel the 2nd amendment and defund the police.... things he specifically said he wouldn’t do.

This little worthless turd would be working at a Wal-Mart checkout if he wasn’t from a rich family.

Empty, oppressive, radical views... of Joe Biden???? Maybe he confused Joe Biden with somebody else?

Man, this speech is only going to appeal to the people that are already over the deep end. That’s consistent with this convention. You have a segment supposedly showing some heart and perhaps unity... then angry culture war bullshit.... totally Jekyll and Hyde RNC. What a mess.

Nimrata still calls herself Nikki.

Nikki is her real name, and it’s her Indian name; it’s not an Anglosaxon name or a nickname.

 

[SuperMatt]

Daniel Cameron from Kentucky talking now. He is talking about injustice... oh wait, the injustice of tearing down a statue. And the evil rioters and looters of course.

He mentioned Breonna Taylor once with no commitment to charging her killers or even saying anything about it.. but is calling the protests of her death an all-out attack on western civilization. Then transitions to a cup of coffee?

And more whining about cancel culture. Why are these people so whiny about cancel culture? Nobody is cutting anybody down. If you say stupid stuff, people can call you out on it. That’s what free speech is about.

Then after a speech dedicated to demonizing the “radical left” says something about unity? This speech went from Hyde to Jekyll in 5 minutes. What garbage.
