Has this speech happened? I haven't seen a single bit of reporting on it.

That could be because I've imposed a news blackout but that only means no peeking directly at "news" sites. I've seen not a peep about it on Mastodon.

The nominee usually speaks on the last day of the convention, if my memory serves.

Absolutely nothing that has happened in Chump's life over the last seventy-eight years has made a positive change in his life. I'm not holding my breath on this one.

From what I've read, sociopaths don't "grow a conscience" based on life events. It's just not something they can do. Even though, alas, a man in the audience died shielding his family from bullets, Trump was talking hype about how "iconic" the bloody photo of him is.

Genuinely glad he's doing well is right.

'They tried sharks. The tried marine batteries. They tried FBI goons 3,000 miles away from me. Now they tried one of my own supporters armed with a gun I refused to take away from armed people with grudges. All because I love America! Only a stack of $100 bills, six feet deep surrounding me can save me now!'

I'm sure the felon's speech will be a 100% kumbayah, got to love one another right now, wear some flowers in your hair love fest. He's seen the other side of the mountain and he's ready to love and accept everyone, no matter who they love, what they look like, or where they're from. And I'm sure that tomorrow morning when I wake up, the world will be nothing but puppies and kitties for everyone.

And I was really gearing up for "American Carnage II: The Re-Carnaging."

Not "Sharknado II: Electric Boogaloo"?

With remembrance for Ed Brayton, who used that "boogaloo" thing a LOT.

Not unless you fancy dying from alcohol poisoning.

You know if there had been an assassination attempt on Biden Trump and the GOP would have said they had nothing to do with it. It was just a nut job pissed off about DEI and CRT. Without explaining why he would target Trump. But it would make sense to the MAGA cult and it would be Biden's fault.

The MSM is ready to hear about the many ways Dems did X but somehow seems to not notice how the GOP has nearly walked away with the republic.

Trump is already spewing fire and brimstone so he is NOT going to bring forth a message of unit. He is still pushing Project 2025/47 or whatever HIS platform is.

Biden campaign needs to get back to their regularly scheduled program of talking about what his next term will mean if PAB gets back in office.

I ran across an article this morning that says or implies or something that Trump's "unity" message is that he should have complete and total immunity for crimes. No, that is not a joke:

'Just the first step': Trump praises Judge Cannon ruling that throws out classified documents case. The former president is insisting that he should enjoy legal immunity in the name of national unity

https://www.salon.com/2024/07/15/just-the-first-step-praises-cannon-ruling-that-throws-out-classified-documents-case/?in_brief=true

Which is why no new drinking game will be needed. Trump will always be an idiot narcissistic power bottom. Your old bingo cards will work just fine.

Saw this lovely idea earlier today. I liked it, but suggested they rename it the "Trump Is Not Yet Harmfree And Needs Defense Still" Act.

I can not, not in a million years, imagine giving a speech that is at all different from his usual "burn it all down" speech.
