It's a veritable who's that of speakers at the RNC.

Antonio Sabato Jr spoke. Right out of his ass.

Scott Baio called Hillary a cunt.

The RNC had to close down the live stream chat because Anti-Semites took over and started calling everyone Jews and Kikes and asking people to type "H" for Hitler. http://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/rnc-forc...-hatefest/

Melania copied Michelle's speech.

The IA and CO delegates stormed out.

And Scott Lively is preaching outside and got trolled by Eric Andre.

Well, he's not wrong.

Maybe not, but if you tweet that your party's political shit show, it is bad for the RNC.

To paraphrase a French general -- Petain, I think? -- the Republicans are chaining themselves to a corpse. Their angst, come November, will be interesting.

As a fellow non-USian, I don't get it, either.  You know how you can take 1000 howler monkeys and withhold their ADD meds and watch the fun?  It's like that.

Boru

With this post you do a grave disservice to howler monkeys, sir.

A completely unprofessional presentation is their way of convincing you that they are not the corrupt Washington elites.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I literally just watched a video of the Governor of Oklahoma say that the RNC platform is not anti-LGBT because they have a Lesbian on the committee.

Let's see:
1) Want to establish federal law barring protection for LGBT people in the marketplace, the workplace, and housing.
2) Oppose marriage equality.
3) Want to legalize "Pray away the Gay" conversion "therapy"
4) Oppose transgender rights
5) Want to pass more bills like the ones in AR and TN that allow for therapists to refuse service to LGBT individuals.

This "Big Tent" gets smaller and smaller. "We want an America where everyone is treated equally (read: white Christians have carte blanche).

Did anyone notice the lead guitar player in the band? The guy from the early SNL band, G.E. Smith. Doubt he is a republican.

While Melania was speaking and I closed my eyes all I could see was Natasha Fatale.
