Fuck off you misogynistic shitbucket. Monica Lewinsky got nothing positive from her “dick sucking”. She was a punching bag and a punchline for decades. She did what thousands of young women have

Every time Trump talks about Jesus or God or the Bible and doesn't get struck by lightning, I feel more comfortable with my agnosticism.

Some more speakers listed. Gym made the cut for the team.

Here's some of the article:
 

Quote

 

The four-day event is themed “Honoring the Great American Story,” according to four Trump campaign officials involved with the planning process but not authorized to discuss it by name. The convention will feature prominently a number of well-known Trump supporters, including members of the Trump family, but also those whom the GOP say are members of the “silent majority” of Americans who have been aided by Trump’s policies. Some have been “silenced” by a “cancel culture” pushed by Democrats, the campaign officials said.

Where Democrats highlighted Republicans who crossed party lines to back Biden as an indictment of Trump’s leadership, the GOP lineup will primarily feature figures on the conservative media circuit with the hope that they can deliver red meat for the president’s loyal supporters — though planners say they will feature some people who did not vote for Trump in 2016.

Planners insist they will put forward a more “positive” convention than Democrats’ roasting of Trump. Yet the president also appears intent on trying to seize on the nation’s cultural divides, particularly around issues of racial injustice and policing, drawing on grievances to motivate his base.

 

Rest here:

Spoiler

The officials outlined the campaign plans to The Associates Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss the emerging schedule.

The opening night Monday will highlight the “Land of Promise,” aiming to show how Trump helped renew the American dream. Featured speakers include South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, who will deliver the coveted closing speech of the televised prime-time block; former Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley; presidential son Donald Trump, Jr.; staunch congressional defenders Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Jim Jordan of Ohio; and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

Tanya Weinreis, a Montana coffee shop owner who received federal loans to pay her employees during the coronavirus, will also speak, as will Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was among those killed in the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Tuesday’s theme is “Land of Opportunity,” which is expected to cast Biden’s plans as “socialist” and “radical left.” Speakers will highlight Trump’s actions on trade, abortion and the nation’s opioid crisis. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will address Trump’s foreign policy record, an unusual foray into domestic politics by the nation’s top diplomat, and Trump children Eric and Tiffany Trump will also speak.

Another speaker will be Nicholas Sandmann, who as a student at a Catholic high school in Kentucky gained national attention last year for his interaction with a Native American man during demonstrations in Washington. Media commentary in the aftermath of the viral video from the interaction depicted the students as racially insensitive. Sandmann and the Native American man, Nathan Phillips, later said they were both trying to defuse tensions among conflicting groups that converged at the Lincoln Memorial.

First lady Melania Trump will deliver the marquee address of the night from a newly renovated White House Rose Garden.

Wednesday, themed “Land of Heroes,” will feature a raft of conservative personalities including South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York and presidential daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

Clarence Henderson, a civil rights figure from the 1960s, is also on deck to address the “true meaning of peaceful protest,” planners said, as Trump plans to highlight police officers amid a nationwide call for policing reform after the May death of George Floyd in police custody.

Vice President Mike Pence will deliver the keynote Wednesday from Baltimore’s Fort McHenry, which inspired “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 1814, to highlight Trump’s opposition to professional athletes who protest racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem.

Speakers on the final night, themed “Land of Greatness, will include Alice Johnson, the criminal justice advocate whose sentence on drug crimes was commuted by Trump at the urging of celebrity Kim Kardashian; Carl and Marsha Mueller, the parents of human rights activist Kayla Mueller, who died while being held by the Islamic State group in Syria; and evangelist Rev. Franklin Graham.

Trump’s personal attorney, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, whose attempts to dig up dirt in Ukraine on Biden’s family were at the center of the president’s impeachment last year, will also address the final night of the convention. Republican congressional leaders Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California and Democrat turned Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey are to deliver remarks, as will Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White.

Trump will close out the convention during an unprecedented address from the White House South Lawn. He and Ivanka Trump, his daughter and senior adviser who is set to introduce him, will speak from an elaborate stage in front of the Executive Mansion. The move has drawn criticism from Democrats and ethics groups, who argue that Trump is violating the spirit, if not the letter, of federal law by using the White House grounds to stage his convention.

While the president is not covered by the Hatch Act, his aides cannot appear at the convention in their official capacities and staffers are extremely limited in what they may do to help pull off the convention. Planners insist they are following all ethics rules.

Plans for the GOP event have rapidly come together over the last six weeks, since it became apparent to the party that Trump could not hold an in-person convention at his backup site of Jacksonville, Florida. Trump was forced to move most of the convention out of Charlotte, North Carolina, the original host city, because of restrictive state coronavirus precautions.

Republicans — and Trump himself — closely watched last week’s Democratic convention for cues on what worked and what didn’t in the virtual format, hoping that will provide an advantage in putting together their week of events.

One major difference, Republicans said, will be the emphasis on live rather than taped events — and holding events with crowds to the greatest extent practicable. Trump repeatedly criticized Democrats’ reliance on pre-taped videos, rather than live addresses, saying Tuesday, “Live, by the way, is always much more exciting.”

A small crowd was expected for Melania Trump’s speech in the Rose Garden, with a larger cohort watching in person when Pence speaks Wednesday from Fort McHenry. More than 1,000 guests are anticipated on the South Lawn when Trump delivers his acceptance speech Thursday night. The RNC has requested approval to launch fireworks from the National Mall after Trump’s speech.

Unlike Democrats, Republicans are not expected to feature a roll call of states to formally renominate the president — traditionally one of the most dramatic moments of a convention. The actual voting will be taking place in truncated format Monday morning in Charlotte with a condensed recap expected to air later during the evening.

Noticed that they aren't doing the roll call the same way the DNC had. While it was a foregone conclusion as to the outcome, it was probably going to be so white that the difference would have been stark.

I think it’s no coincidence that two hurricanes will be barreling toward the gulf coast during the RNC next week.

 

i guess it will give trump an excuse if the ratings suck. Of course, he will blame it on the democrats somehow too. Anyone who believes this guy has a very low IQ.

I can’t believe Nikki Haley is going to get within 100 miles of this shit. Doesn’t she have presidential aspirations? She’s about to step in some dog shit that isn’t going to wash off. 

Yeah you can’t forget that the “mastermind” behind the watergate break in, G Gordon Liddy, got himself a pretty good following and a nationally syndicated radio show after serving his time. Republicans will support anyone who proves they’d do anything for the team. They’ll support her too because she was willing to suck Don’s dick as their surrogate. 
 

What I don’t get is how any of them think they’d ever get elected in a nationwide race again with the demographics being what they are and the Don’s version of the party being so toxic to non-cult members. Either they are dumber than you think they are or they know something we don’t. The outcome in November will tell us which one I think.

Haley is toeing the line to keep herself in the spotlight but not getting too close to trump for the inevitable blowback. And most of the gop will ultimately conveniently look the other way for anyone that associated with Trump. What other choice do they have when 95% embraced him? Political reality of the future situation.

Technically on the G-card rankings, she is a high ranking senior advisor so the stretch to call her “the honorable” is one of the smaller liberties the convention is taking.  
 

plus when pres Trump said “honorable”, he meant he’d like to be “able” to find someway to “honor” her tits.

This one ^^^^ of which I have clipped a section from. It sounds a little fascisty and burn it all down so we can haz the cake and it eat it too. Or is it just me?
 

Quote

 

the WHEREAS, Issues exist across all 435 existing government agencies and the nation’s entire regulatory framework, and empowerment of regulators, must be overhauled; and

WHEREAS, President Trump and his Administration cannot execute this reform alone; reforming regulatory bloat will require Republican majorities in the House and Senate,and a strict Constitutionalist Supreme Court; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the United States economy struggles only when its entrepreneurial spirit is crushed under the weight of federal restrictions,and reductions of the regulatory state are needed to unleash our nation’s boundless potential;

RESOLVED, That entrenched regulatory bureaucrats selectively interpret rules to expand their power over the regulated, and, when left unchecked,the federal regulatory burden is ever-increasing; and

RESOLVED,That the Republican National Committee and its ancillary groups advocate a complete overhaul of the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 so that President Trump can thoroughly "drain the swamp," and acknowledge that Republican control of the House and Senate,as well as additional appointments to the United States Supreme Court are needed to achieve this goal.

"win the race to 5G and establish a national wireless network." 

Qanon nuts:

Someone needs to drop a Q message that Trump has been replaced by a Deep State clone and his words cannot be trusted. He's promoting 5G!

There is some weird stuff happening in this picture. Palin appears to be taking an oath while Trump holds up the pizza like a flag. Swearing fealty to a pedo ring?

That picture behind Trump looks like an older dude is mounting a younger dude. Who is the minor in the photo and why are they facing the gay porn poster behind Trump? The paper plate says "Family Pizza". Hmmm... Notice how the parmesan cheese is pushed up to the "diet" Pepsi?

This is absolutely unbelievable. This can’t be true? No policies. No platform. Bizarro.

There is no GOP.  Only Trump.

This is exactly what a cult looks like.  Not a little bit....EXACTLY.

As for those "50 points".....between the pointless platitudes, the repetition of promises he's made since he was campaigning in 2016 and has done literally NOTHING to fulfill ("cover all preexisting conditions!"), those that are impossible for decades (occupy the moon and Mars!), those that are meaningless ("create 10 million jobs!"....cool....how?), and those that are just plain fucking stupid ("teach American exceptionalism!").....it's a perfectly Trumpy platform.

This is what you are, GOP.  You literally don't have any platform other than "what that fucking pyschopath over there says!"  If there was any question whether the GOP remained a political party, that question is answered definitively today.  It has no platform other than "what Trump says."  Trump will speak every night of its "convention."  Half the speakers at that "convention" are Trump's family.  The GOP is now just a cult, supporting a family criminal enterprise.  What a fucking shitshow.

I'd like a slice of Lisa Ann.  Still gorgeous at age 48.  Gotta give credit to Palin though, she's 8 years and is probably in better shape athletically.  

Fun fact, Lisa Ann grew up near Biden's boyhood home.  But only one candidate in this election tried to fuck her.  

Speaking of the Palins and pornstars, on another thread we were discussing C-list celebrities that live in Austin (Mia Khalifa being one).  Doesn't one of the Palin daughters live in Austin now?

"Teach American Exceptionalism"

Guess that's a prerequisite for "Failing to Demonstrate American Exceptionalism"

It's code for "Teach the history of White People." I was hoping they might have a another bullet point that was "Teach capitalization and other grammar rules," because the agenda writer had trouble deciding on the United States vs. The United States among other things. I believe I am ready to run for office. There is Rule Of Law, but most importantly there is Rule Of Grammar. My campaign slogan will be "The More You Know," and I hope LeVar Burton will approve.

I am definitely NOT listening to the RNC shit show, however I turned on my truck & the radio was already tuned to NPR. Heard Trump say "...These Democrate governors - with the ballots - 85 million? They are going to send out ballots to who? Maybe they won't send them to registered Republicans."

[turned the channel]

1. YES, he did say "Democrate". "Dem.Oh.Crate."

2. Does he not know it is an agency like the Secretary of State that handles these things so as to keep a bit of firewall between the Governor & prevent interference? Of COURSE he doesn't know this. This is a buffoon that barely understands the US Constitution.
