RNC Crowns Donald Trump King Of America
Dom saw some weird shit on the last day of the RNC.
That’s it. It’s over. Donald Trump is your new king. He did all the things, except for the bad ones. He didn’t do those, that was probably Joe Biden’s fault, or the mean Fake News media, some bird murdering windmills, or an international cabal of autonomous anti-fascists who think an American monarchy is stupid.
Trump’s speech, as you already know, went on more than 90 low-energy minutes. He did a tight (not tight) 20 on getting shot at and being resurrected as God’s vessel. He talked about Hannibal Lecter having a friend for dinner. He saw some people in the crowd and said “hey.” He bored his audience mercilessly. He called Star Wars (the missile system) “Starship Spaceship.” He talked about immigrants killing our beautiful white women. The Washington Post factchecked the fuck out of it with a whole lot of “This is obviously false.” Van Jones nattered on about how the Trump family’s “overcome so much” to have three generations on the stage, a huge achievement the likes of which no one else has mustered. Somebody should ask Donald Trump the names of his grandchildren. The New York Times helpfully pointed out it’s been a bad week for Joe Biden.
This wraps our convention coverage this week, unless Robyn decides to thrill and delight you with more after we drop her home back in Chicago. (She got a picture with QAnon JFK Jr. last night, and I, Rebecca, have never seen her so happy.)
We hope we’ve made it “fun” for you. We had a pretty good time ourselves, just being together, you dig?
We’ll have an early lid for you in an hour or two with a morning cocktail. Bar’s closed, or bar’s open. Either way.
Oy, what a shitshow.
I actually have secondhand embarrassment for Van Jones. That is some incredible softshoeing. He is another guy like Tavis Smiley who lost the entire plot in the Obama years, I think maybe even due to some petty slight by some Obamaworld figure.
Just the Hannibal Lecter soliloquy alone would've had people calling for the 25th on Joe Biden. He's clearly got it together and he has a kickass VP. People let's focus and back our President who's been fighting hard for us. You don't want this gibbering asshole President Klan Robe to get back in, not the least of the issues being the newer Christonazi Reich coming in with Project 2025!
Check your voter registration, check it twice at www.vote.org or www.vote.gov - bring a friend to the polls. Media will not cover the great things Biden/Harris have done, nor the myriad ways in which Republicans work to fuck us. Latest example: Republicans sued to halt the SAVE program for student debt to help right the wrong of the usury that people who were harangued over the years, "gotta get a degree to get a good job." Don't forget, blue-collar folks have student loans too.
Voter suppression is in effect by Republicans, have your voting plan together for November 5. Vote early if at all possible; Republicans are working hard to make it hard to count votes in time so they can lodge fakakta challenges.
Let's focus and mount up!
