Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 24

[varwoche]

I suppose he's counting Trump reading Twitter into the night or something.

Don't sell him short. Reading chyrons all day adds up.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

It isn’t as if we haven’t seen how good Trump is at reading.

Well he has sort of finally learned how to read over the four years as a necessity. He reads off the teleprompter at about a 4th grade level at best.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

I can't believe he reads those. Maybe he watches for "Trump" to roll by.

OMG, now that's interesting. I was watching the House hearing on DeJoy and the USPS and when it ended I switched to the other CSPAN channel for a minute. They were having the states' roll call live. My first thought was it's quite dull compared to the Democrats' convention. My second was that must be why they are putting this on during the day instead of during the convention itself.

That Trump is complaining that it isn't being covered live is pitiful. Did Fox cover it live? I imagine Donny watched every minute since everyone cheered that he got unanimous delegate votes.

Funny how that happens when you run unopposed, innit it?

I think part of his complaint was that Fox New was showing it and commenting on it, instead of shutting up and just showing all of the delegates praising him.

"I’d like to hear the remarks of the Delegates from individual States, rather than @FoxNews anchors."

I watched several minutes of Trump before, thankfully, Anderson Cooper cut in just as nausea started to overcome me. Unsurprisingly, Trump was spouting the usual lies: Obama/Biden had spied on him, massive mail in fraud has and will happen, Dems now want to make ballot 'harvesting' legal when they wanted it to be illegal when a Republican pastor did it, they'll send ballots to Dem areas but not to Republican areas, if he hadn't closed down the country 'millions and millions' would have died. He lied about the country's cupboard's being bare and how he built them back up. In other words; business as usual for Donnie the Deceiver.

It’s like the ‘Far Side’ cartoon of what we say to dogs and what they hear.

blah blah TRUMP blah blah blah blah blah blah TRUMP blah blah blah...

Do the Republicans not do that thing that caused the (minor and overblown by the media/Social Networking) hubbub thing where someone symbolically nominates another candidate that some people took as AOC slighting Biden because she "nominated" Sanders?

Or am I conflating different processes/part of the process?

I'm assuming there was no republican challenger, since he is the incumbent. And if there was a challenger, they did not get any delegates. They only acknowledged Sanders because he came in second in the delegate count, IIRC.

I think Sanders had to be nominated under the convention rules, because he did have some delegates pledged to vote for him. That Biden's win was a forgone conclusion doesn't change the history of what happened in the early primary voting.

That makes sense.

"Monkey!" someone shouted after Donald Trump mentioned Obama.

Trump says "Let's be nice."

The crowd laughs.

"This could only happen in North Carolina," says Trump, laughing.

The play-off music as Pence joins Trump is "YMCA."

Hateful people. Appears more and more to be a republican trait.

If Christ was around now, Trump would be taking out full-page adverts demanding crucifixion.

Nah, they're not racists. Not at all.

Not only did Trump not call that person out like a decent person would have, but he condones the racism by making light of it and laughing. Disgusting. That should be used by the Lincoln Project in an ad.

That assumes that his popularity would go down as a result

Pretty telling what makes a person like him with no sense of humor laugh...

Practice for the one to be held on Nov. 4?

Zing!


Juxtoposing these for effect:

3 in 4 Republicans say US is in better shape than four years ago: poll

Kellyanne Conway quits.

On that note...

Jerry Falwell admits to wife's affair with their poolboy.

Finally, an honest-to-goodness "cuck" and not some edgy slang. Falwell used to sit in the corner of the room watching his wife banging this guy, to whom Falwell gave ownership of a South Beach gay-friendly hostel. This story is so good, coming right after Falwell drunksplaining his yacht party photos.
