Republican Congressmen are texting Ana Navarro saying they're embarrassed for their party
Hardcore Bernie holdouts are texting Van Jones and saying now they're with her
Jeffrey Lord is like hes the best
Navarro is pissed
The best part was earlier when she said that it seems like she and Lord had heard different speeches, that they were in different universes. Because she didn't enjoy huffing glue.
As an effete european I usually don't bother with watching stuff from the conventions so I don't have much to compare it to but every time I turned in during this it was some level of ghastly.
I heard that Trump was trying to appeal to Bernie fans tonight.
Do you think that will work?
Only the people who wouldn't have voted Clinton to begin with.
The strongest Bernie supporter in my friends circle is talking about how the DNC and RNC are corrupt and how he won't have anything to do with either administration, which means he's still looking 3rd party. I expected no less, naturally.
You know, when 67% of the people say the country's going in the wrong direction, and that direction is primarily Congress going FUCK YOU, WE'RE GOING NOWHERE, how is that even on Obama?

democracy isn't about one person... until someone needs a scapegoat.
What an utter shitshow I just watched. Mrs m!ttens thinks I'm crazy for watching this whole dumpster fire through to the end but I want to thank everyone present last thread for helping me keep my sanity :biggrin:
You're welcome Mr Romney.
Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name. Michael Bolton m!ttens: There *was* nothing wrong with it... until I was about twelve years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys governorships. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.
I couldn't watch, so what about Trump's speech was that bad? Was it really that much worse than his typical prepared remarks+occasional ad libbed shittiness? Are there any memorably awful one liners?

It was simultaneously apocalyptic and boring.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

No. Just almost an hour and a half straight of DEATH, DOOM, I AM THE LAW, I WILL MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER, FUCK FOREIGNERS, AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA.
Nothing horrible, besides the content, but also 100% negative, 100% fuck everyone but me, I am the only way.

Okay, I can't stand watching any more. That's more than enough.

There was the part where I couldn't decide if Trump was advocating for international racketeering or neo vassal states, but mostly the speech was just a boring (and looong) hodgepodge of Trumpisms. I was starting to read a Fusion article and the author of that article put it nicely: "the gist of his speech was that we are all about to be killed by immigrants, terrorists and other evildoers unless we put our faith in him."

You know the scene at the end of Full Metal Jacket? It was that.

Him actually having the gall to call out Obama for "irresponsible rhetoric" and then railing agaisnt special interest groups only to later brag about having the FUCKING NRA endorsement almost gave me an aneurysm.

What?

Half their reporters are pissed off, calling the speech disgusting, psychopathic, entirely negative fear mongering, etc.
While Jeffery Lord tries to make apologies and say that we ARE living in Mad Max times.
Looking for a gif version, but this video is a gift from god.
E: there we go. I hope the internet treats this image with its usual class and decorum.
Corey is shilling for the GUY STILL PAYING HIM
FUCK YOU CNN
"let me finish you got a chance to speak SIR"
Do you think that will work?

"She skirted the law, and got away with it."
That's not... ugh.
Not according to Van Jones, he said he was getting texts from hardcore Bernie people that they were totally in Hillary's camp after that speech.
no.
Yeah, I'm not sure what Corey was going for there.
"The polls clearly indicated she did something wrong and didn't get punished for it." [paraphrased]
I didn't know polls were replacing trials, now...
ThIs speech and convention didn't help that at all I'd guess

EDIT: Also mentioned the weird touching.

Uh, no?
He said he was gonna fix it.
I mean, what more do you want? Details?

didn't you hear? "Build A Wall" has been accepted by the media as a comprehensive immigration plan.

*cries in a corner*
*falls asleep*
Oops. My mistake. One of the two talking heads at any rate.

Lacks day 3 but... yeah....
