    I sat through the speech of the woman who lost her son in Benghazi. That was one of the most horribly exploitive moments of television I have ever seen and I’m mad at myself for sitting and watching it.

      What about trotting that little girl out for the national anthem? Thought that was pretty bad too.

    Scott Baio?!?! What, was Stacey Dash busy??

    You have to admit, the RNC has always been hamstrung in terms of getting top celebrity talent for these types of things. They don’t exactly have a lot to choose from. It’s this guy, Kelsey Grammar, Stacey Dash, that supermodel from the show about lesbian police detectives or something, and Ray Barone’s wife, and... That’s it, really.

    A couple of them actually have careers to go to so they’re not always available for appearances. It really makes the logistics complicated, though I guess Scott Baio is probably a lot easier to get ahold of than Beyoncé...

      Stacy Dash is still (outwardly) a black woman. She could dress is klansman garb and she’d still be shown the backdoor.

    After that last speech by Patricia Smith, I’ve realized this country is truly going to fracture after this election. Republicans will never accept a Hillary Clinton presidency and will bring vitriol 5x stronger than they did for Obama. This is truly sad. The lies Mrs. Smith stood up and told were absolutely stunning. I truly felt sad for her.

      I mean, what else are they gonna do? They know Trump is gonna lose. They know they’re going to have to deal with 4-8 more years of a Democratic president. The only way to make anything in this election season worthwhile is if they stir up Hillary/left hatred so much that it practically reaches a fever pitch come November. I think they’re just trying to drag everyone else down with the ship (President wise. Congress is still theirs to lose, unfortunately.)

      “

      The only way they could achieve that is if they hurled actual feces at her during her State of the Union speech.

    Color me skeptical. The last time we handed the presidency to a Republican with a Republican Congress they managed to

    1. Turn a surplus into a deficit.

    2. Invade the wrong fucking country.

    3. The cut taxes a lot, I doubt if I saw a dime of it.

    4. They appointed an SEC chair (Christopher Cox) who hated regulation and had the department do almost nothing.

    5. The ignored a huge buildup of mortgage fraud. There was even an FBI memo about it in 2004. It was ignored.

    6. They are reflexively anti-regulation, at least you have to bribe Democrats to be against regulations.

      Whoa! You didn’t get your $300 Bush “stimulus” check that one time? That’s on you, bro.

      You are right I did get the stimulus check, which subsequently reduce my refund. Their was the bump in standardized deduction for a couple years which was helpful. I have a very small mortgage because we haven’t moved for 20 years.

      He met his current wife on that show. That wife now has a brain tumor. He originally said he was going to stay with her and not speak at the RNC. I guess Trump is more important than cancer.

    These speeches are so generic and empty already that at this rate, by the end of this thing, they’re just gonna be cutting up the transcripts and reordering the words like fridge magnets.

    “America. Good to be great. Make jobs! Lift and rise to overcome and be the best! Trump to make things historic and grand. Unite!”

    I actually heard his whole speech. NPR was live streaming it and he came on right after one of the Duck Dynasty guys. Scott started out with some wisdom for “people who are voting for the first time” which by this I’m guessing he meant immigrants, and gave a long list of conservative talking points about “what it means to be an American.” By far his biggest applause line was something like, “And it doesn’t mean you get free stuff!”

    By the way, the Duck Dynasty guy actually said something about how people on the Left don’t know what it’s like to have to work. Whaaa? Didn’t this idiot inherit his money?

    The whole thing was nauseating.

      So if Scott Baio had a publicist, I guess he’s refuse the swag bags at premieres because it’s free stuff? PUH-LEEZE. Bitch would put every free item in a swag bag on eBay (individually) to make next month’s rent.

      I said something similar out of pure indignation earlier to my Husband tonight and he said, “Isn’t he that asshole from ‘Charles In Charge or whatever?’ So basically he’s a jackass who retired at 40, and thinks the rest of us should just be able to do the same.” Better words were never spoken, in my estimation.

    Does that mean we can take God out of our pledge of allegiance (or even eliminate the pledge of allegiance)?

    When was America ever America? To me, this quote from Loretta Lynch describes my America: This country was founded on a promise of equal rights for all, and we have always managed to move closer to that promise, little by little, one day at a time. It may not be easy — but we’ll get there together.
