Today's Republican Party

You know, it might just be another of those days ending in "y", but let's tear into this RNC week with all the verve of Don Jr's girlfriend trying out for Evita whilst not being able to feel her lips. At all. Like, is her face even attached?  What is going on in this picture?

Anyways, it was a tough day in TrumpWorld, what with the investigation in NY going on with whether the Trump Organization was both committing tax fraud and bank fraud being announced, and also with the "pool boy" in the Falwell saga coming forward with the receipts on a seven-year affair with both Mrs. and Mr. in what I believe the kids these days call a "cucking" scenario.  Before being revealed as a kinky grifter, the son of the far-right Rev. Jerry Sr.'s endorsement was very valuable to Trump in getting a toehold on the evangelical set.

(And I assume the evangelicals will forgive Falwell, and continue to support Trump, for reasons.)

Michael Cohen used to cover shit like this up for TrumpWorld, but he doesn't work there anymore.

Maybe that's part of what was in Don Jr.'s eyes when he gave his speech at the RNC, betraying absolutely nothing about the fatherly warmth of the man who gave him his name and the reputation of an absolute idiot bigot to live up to. (Naaaaiiiiilllling iiiittttt!) The boy isn't right and should have no political future if words even still mean things.

The Bonnie and Clyde of the suburban shooty-shoot threat fame cleaned up good for the camera and threatened that the you-know-whos could come into your own suburban enclave at any moment, which was not actually supposed to sound racist, I guess. Also they are coming to congress. You know. Them.

For some reason, Trump has made it this big thing that the Democrats supposedly did not say "under God" in the pledge of allegiance, which now the zombies believe.  But they totally said it.  I don't care myself, but OMG--the lying! Like wow. This RNC is all about lots of lying about Democrats.

The speeches of Sen. Tim Scott and former ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley seemed to come from such a different planet from the rest of the RNC offerings that I wondered just where they had been, or what alternative Republican party they actually belonged to. What color was the sky there? Was there candy for breakfast? Did turds roll up or still downhill? Clearly they both had more wonders to reveal to us, but time prevented them.

Anyway, maybe this was inspirational and motivational and not a policy-free and fairly mendacious bigoted shitshow to the Republicans who tuned in. But I found it unappealing and unpersuasive in every way.

I thought the old Cuban guy was amazingly angry and off-base.

Like Ayn Rand, I'm sure he was enjoying his socialized Medicare and Social Security which he totally deserves because he's a brave American and you're not.
