Curley Haugland is up to his usual "The delegates are unbound!" antics. Donald Trump has yet to release the speakers list that he promised last week. And nobody really wants to go there, let alone speak. It's the 2016 RNC Convention in Cleveland! July 18-21 What could possibly go wrong? -- Weirdest reality TV show ever. -- Yeah, it's a week away. But I really wanted to post that Curley Haugland piece. He's got his bone to pick, and I think he might be technically correct. Just not correct practically or politically. -- Hail Grimes!
The convention may be next week, but the platform committee is already busy at work. What were they busy doing today? Well, the Democrats may be coming for your guns, but it would seem the GOP has decided to come for your porn. I probably should have worded that differently. Or not.
Platform committee approves changing “aborted fetuses” to “aborted children."— Molly Ball (@mollyesque) July 12, 2016
Dallas Shooting and Open-Carry Laws Loom Over Cleveland Convention Plans -- NY Times This seems like a bad idea.
I'm hoping for one of two outcomes from this convention; ideally they'd dump Trump, but if they don't, I want Newt for max lulz.
Ohio is OC state? What could go wrong? https://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/new-black-panther-party-says-to-carry-arms-in-cleveland-if-legal/ http://www.npr.org/2016/07/05/48475...uns-to-be-carried-outside-gop-convention-hall
Just to make mockery of the post-2012 autopsy complete, platform committee changes platform from "illegal immigrants" to "illegal aliens"— Jonathan Martin (@jmart) July 13, 2016 The GOP platform committee continues their hard work to expand their party's base of support!
Unfortunately, it looks like the GOP base has sent the signal to their leaders that they want to double down on the stupid. Hopefully this is just the last burst of energy before death for this sort of thing.
Oh ... my ... lord ... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/14/us/politics/republican-convention-speakers-donald-trump.html Read it. Night 1: A Benghazi focus, followed by border patrol agents and Mr. Shaw, whose son was killed by an undocumented immigrant. Senator Cotton, Mr. Giuliani, Melania Trump, Ms. Ernst and others. Night 2: A focus on the economy: Mr. White, president of the U.F.C.; Asa Hutchinson, the governor of Arkansas; Michael Mukasey, the former United States attorney general; Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a vice-presidential possibility; Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader; Tiffany Trump; Donald Trump Jr. and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Night 3: Ms. Bondi; Ms. Collins; Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker; Senator Ted Cruz of Texas; Eric Trump; Ms. Gulbis; and the nominee for vice president. Night 4: Mr. Tebow; Representative Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee; Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma; Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman; Gov. Rick Scott of Florida; Mr. Thiel; Mr. Barrack; Ivanka Trump; Donald J. Trump. Also, there will be a "presentation detailing former President Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct." It's crazy.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but does this preclude Newt from being the VP nominee? Or could he still address the convention twice?
Just because Blink 182's new album is #1 and people are crazy about Pokemon doesn't mean that the '90s have come back, y'all. But keep ********ing that chicken.
Oh yeah? From Knave's porn link above: It also called on the Supreme Court to overturn its decision last year finding a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. The platform also declared that marriage is between a man and a woman.
1. Pure red meat for Teh Base ii. Most of this shit didn't work in the '90s. It didn't work in 2012. Oh my f***ing GOD! c.) A significant # of these speakers make Low Energy Jeb! look like a coked up infomercial celeb. IV. At some point, will the GOP commission an autopsy on the lack of implementation on the autopsy?
