    So let me get this Prosperity Gospel bullshit straight...

    The goal is for God to just give you money. Is that the idea?

    Because maybe this is just my East Coast liberal upbringing but I think that if you want money, go out and work for a living. You know, instead of expecting a handout from God.

      It’s like Calvinist doctrine on speed. If God likes you, you get cash. If God hates you, well, you’re one of the undeserving poor.

      In order for the Prosperity Gospel to work, you have to give money you don’t have to a Pastor who needs it badly.

      Eventually it comes back to you.

      Somehow.

    “All Lives Matter”

    GOP code for STFU darkies. See that sneering grimace on all those old white peoples faces when they chant it?

    BTW, there are more black, brown, and even Asians in the middle of the floor tonight than the first 3 nights combined, when there were virtually none. The con continues.

      I enjoyed Marsha Blackburn’s assertion that the Democratic Party has been delivering rhetoric that is dividing Americans from their neighbors.

      You know, like Democrats being extremely anti-LGBT, mocking disabled reporters, calling women fat pigs, Mexicans rapists and saying you hope black people don’t handle your money, saying Islam hates us and wanting to bar Muslims from entering the country, wondering what non-white people have really contributed to the world, and stepping on an activist movement to create an offensive slogan of your own.

      Oh wait, wrong Party.

      The idea that the theme of this night is “make America one again” is so far into the comically absurd there just are no words to adequately describe it.

    No way in hell that Donnie is going to let Thiel upstage him. The display of needy narcissism is going to be cringeworthy.

      Oh well, I guess he saw Thiel’s rehearsal and decided that this cold fish was no charismatic snake oil salesman.

      Disappointing overall in content, too. I was hoping for at least an attempt at trying to mainstream alt-right anti-democratic values. Closest he came was the call for change (not “disruption”?) and the usual nonsense about tech billionaires saving the day from bad ol’ government. A blown opportunity to tell it the bumpkins in a clear and frank way that their secret desire for a king isn’t as bad as the librul media has led them to believe.

    Peter Thiel and Caitlyn Jenner can run into each others arms and off a cliff, for all I’m concerned. Go ahead, Peter. Get on up there and shuck and jive for a room full of people who think you’re going to hell.

      I wonder if Trump will come out and mock this physically disabled Brock guy the same way he mocked the reporter.

      Because Jesus hates you, honey. He’ll only love you if you hate the right people.

      To be fair, my daughter asks that when I watch Chris Matthews (a.k.a. The Giant Shouting Head).

    How it’s felt who watch the Convention from afar!

    Thanks to all the Gawker staff for somehow bearing it upclose so we don't have to.

      It looks like the film version of a collaboration between Chuck Tingle and David Icke.

    Who’s on the speakers list for tomorrow night? The corpse of Tom Perkins? Boris Johnson? Recep Tayyip Erdogan? George Zimmerman? That German guy who kept his daughter in a bunker as his sex slave for ten years? Cheryl Ladd?

    I’m so glad the RNC house band just played “You Shook Me All Night Long.” I just needed to see this arena full of abstinence-only-education supporters dance it out to a song by Australians about hard fucking.

      Did Trump just cop a feel off his daughter on national Tv?
