I really don't want to contemplate what four more years of this level of incompetence, spread throughout all the federal agencies, would do to the country.

Trump is far more than incompetent, he is corrupt, greedy and amoral and will do almost anything to promote and protect his own narrow interests. Unfortunatly he has found a compliant and cowardly Republican Party which has lost any decency they may have had by enabling and empowering Trump for their share of the stolen loot. 

These people are weakening and destroying this country every day.

In addition to the coke-a-palooza’s bad ratings, it had all the signs of a convention put on by a party trying to win back a shrinking base.

The message being if you are still a racist coward please please please don’t abandon us. There wasn’t even the beginning of an appeal to anyone else.

I think both Tim Scott's and Herschel Walker's messages went beyond that.

But I don't think that Walker's message went anywhere beyond their current borders, in part because he so missed what the players' protests have been about (which even Roger G has figured out, even if Ward still hasn't).

And I like the world that Rep. Scott lives in, mostly. It's not Earth in the current time, but it is lovely, to be sure.

Herschel Walker is like the GOP's version of OJ, without the murders, of course.

I joked elsewhere that OJ must have already been booked for the night.

Trumpstock 4 days of hate fear and Qusic


Delivered enough dog whistles to keep Pluto, Goofy and Astro barking all night.

Goofy, a pure-bred Hollywood pooch perked up on this one by Tim Scott.

And now, Joe Biden wants to come for your pocketbooks. Unless you’re a blue state millionaire. I’m serious — that’s one of their solutions for the pandemic. They want more money from your pocket going to help Manhattan elites and Hollywood moguls...

The most deranged comment at the RNC thus far:

“They will disarm you, empty the prisons, lock you in your home, and invite MS-13 to live next door."

- Matt Gaetz

Since clearly none of that will happen or is remotely a possibility, it doesn't seem to be very effective fear-mongering.

Scott and Walker had one message: hey white people, Trump has white black friends so you can fool yourself into thinking you are not a racist for voting for him.

6 days after reopening, the University of Alabama has over 500 coronavirus cases. Now the student newspaper is telling the administration: 'We won't be your PR.'

Terrible idea for colleges or primary grades or everything in between.

Gee, I seem to have a different recollection ...


Of course you do.

You don't envision how it could have been worse.

It's OK.  That's your role.

Basically what is happening in many cities, yes.  Sadly so.

More KidShit.

All of us have no difficulty envision its being worse, Kid.

What you don't seem willing to admit is that what Trump did was wholly inadequate, even as it is true that he did not do nothing.
