She called herself a 1st generation American immigrant, but her mother was from Puerto Rico, and was born well after 1917!

Her father was born in Ireland, which still doesn't make her a first generation immigrant.

I just tuned in to Tiffany Trump. What a psycho cunt. I’m ashamed we share an alma mater.

[MGMcAnick]

Please note that I tuned in late, expecting to see my 10:00 news.

What kind of military uniform was Melania wearing?
Why did Drumpf look so mad during her speech?

I wish she had raised a fist and said "FREE MELANIA", and then told the truth about her hubby.

I didn't see anyone wearing a mask.

Trump is sending his followers a message: CDM. (Covid Doesn't Matter)

Unintentional overloading of irony meter #1: Pam Bondi calling out the Bidens for nepotism

"I also ask people to stop the violence and looting being done in the name of justice, and never make assumptions based on the color[sic] of a person's skin."
Melanoma Trump's RNC speech. .

I think she means Orange people....

Unintentional overloading of irony meter #1: Pam Bondi calling out the Bidens for nepotism

Bondi was the one who, as Florida AG, declined to join the lawsuit against Trump University after she got a $25K campaign donation from Trump. To quote Wikipedia (I have not checked the references but it generally accords with my recollection fro the time) - my bolding, and comment in red:

By contrast in March 2016, after Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service about the illegal donation, the Trump Foundation stated that the donation had been made in error. It said that the Foundation had intended for the donation to go not to Bondi's PAC but instead to an unrelated Kansas non-profit called Justice for All.[24][25] However, in June 2016, as Bondi was facing renewed criticism over the Trump donation and her decision not to join the lawsuit, her spokesman said that Bondi had solicited the donation directly from Trump several weeks before her office announced it was considering joining the lawsuit against him.[21][26][27] Bondi and Trump did not reconcile their competing versions of events. On March 14, 2016, Bondi endorsed Trump in the Florida presidential primary, saying she has been friends with Trump "for many years."[28][29] In June 2016, a spokesperson for Governor Rick Scott stated that the state's ethics commission is looking into the matter.[30] Nothing further came from that investigation. Why am I not surprised??In September 2016, the IRS determined that the donation to Bondi's PAC violated laws against political contributions from nonprofit organizations, and ordered Trump to pay a fine for the illegal contribution. Trump also was required to reimburse the foundation for the sum that had been donated to Bondi.[31] Neither Bondi nor her PAC were fined or criminally charged for soliciting and accepting an illegal donation. In November 2019, Trump was ordered by a New York state court to close down the foundation and pay $2 million in damages for misusing it, including the illegal payment to Bondi.[32]

Bondi is almost qualified to be one of the family.

From NYT's reporting:

“President Trump was elected to defend the American way of life,” said Charlie Kirk, a young Republican activist with a spellbound expression. “The American way of life means you follow the law, you work hard, you honor God, you raise your kids with strong values and you work to create a civil society.”

Well that's OK then.

So a lazy shiftless squanderer with no history of religious adherence and a morally reprehensible lifestyle who raised lazy shiftless greedy children with no apparent moral compasses who engages in hateful speech on a regular basis is exactly who we need in office!

CHARLOTTE (The Borowitz Report)—An outbreak hit the 2020 Republican National Convention this week as hundreds of attendees tested positive for delusion.

While public-health experts have yet to determine the extent of the outbreak, the episodes of attendees exhibiting magical thinking bordering on the hallucinatory appear to be widespread.

Davis Logsdon, who studies delusional epidemics at the University of Minnesota’s School of Medicine, said that multiple R.N.C. participants professed to see things “that are not actually there,” such as a strong economy, a successful coronavirus response, and an immigration policy brimming with kindness.

In another worrying symptom, Logsdon said that attendees who tested positive were unable to see things that were clearly in their line of vision. “One participant on Monday was shouting for more than six minutes despite the presence of a microphone inches away from her,” he said.

While scientists tried to get their arms around the extent of the outbreak, containing the spread of delusion at the R.N.C. will be “challenging,” Logsdon warned.

“The most successful treatment for delusion is facts, and these patients have built up an immunity to those over the course of many years,” he said.

Lou Holtz says that the Biden/Harris ticket is "Catholic in name only". That must come as a great surprise to Kamala Harris, who is a Baptist.

I just tuned into the RNC for a couple minutes. Looking at the mostly unmasked audience, all I could think about was how I hope that a few people there are COVID positive and very generous with their virus.

What WAS she thinking? Is that a shout out to Pepe Frog?

[rubato]

I can’t watch - the 10 minutes I saw earlier today made me want to vomit. I can’t believe anyone believes a word Trump says anymore- it makes me crazy to think those people run into the millions.

I’m not going to be okay with a second term.

Now now now. Which is crazier? Voting for Trump or believing god is loving and merciful? Based on the evidence?

Yes, some cults are much bigger than others.
