Check-in time at the Reality Hotel:

No one is going to mute candidates for US President in a debate just because a moderator believes that particular candidate is lying.

And Trigirl did not suggest that they should.

Well, the convention speaker list is pretty telling.

The Ds had John Kasich and are reportedly planning on having Cindy McCain & Colin Powell.

The Rs are reportedly planning on having Nick Sandmann (the MAGA hat kid from the DC protests) and the McCloskeys (the St Louis couple who 'defended' their property with guns).

Hi Tri,

I'm thinking that Trump would not.

Hi folks,

As a drowning person grabs at straws, Trump tries to get some votes from the left as he pardons Susan B. Anthony.  But wait, even that is not working:

Got to appeal to the audience. Maybe the Dems would have done well to include one of the MAGA types? Maybe someone on the fringes of the movement.

• Retired judge Maryanne Trump Barry, 83, slammed the president in secret recordings, obtained by the Washington Post
• She made the shocking comments back in 2018 to estranged niece Mary Trump who secretly recorded the conversation with her aunt 
• Maryanne blasted her brother for his 'phoniness' and called him 'cruel' over his controversial migrant policies 
• She also dismissed Trump's intelligence saying 'he doesn't read' and said he did 'accomplish [his five bankruptcies] all by his self' 
• She also doubled down on claims the president paid someone to take his SATs

Hi John,

Sort of reminds me about the frog cooking in cold water.  Slowly, but slowly, things come out about this complete & total loser.

Hi folks,

For some time now, I have had the belief that the only votes that are 'up for grabs' is about 5% - 10% of the electorate.  The rest of know how we will be voting.

Here is an interesting article on some of those 'about 5% - 10%':  https://www.npr.org/2020/08/23/904755484/older-white-voters-who-helped-trump-win-may-be-in-play

I think that has more to do with her daughter's TikTok posting than anything else.

Hi John,

Will we see a 'new' Republican Party in the near future?

I would hope so.

[kallend 1,621]

So the RNC voted to keep the 2016 party platform.

A platform which states (among other things):
 

"Our national debt is a burden on our economy and families. The huge increase in the national debt demanded by and incurred during the current Administration has placed a significant burden on future generations".  Well, that's an admission!

"We call on Congress to begin reclaiming its constitutional powers from the bureaucratic state by requiring that major new federal regulations be approved by Congress before they can take effect".   Good one there!

"Maintaining American preeminence requires a world-class system of education in which all students can reach their potential."  Betsy deVos must have misplaced the memo.

Etc. Etc.

 

With just about every member of the Trump family (except the sister and niece) set to speak, and Donald speaking every night, what they really mean is "we stand for anything Trump wants to do".

 

 

[kallend 1,621]

More from the GOP platform as endorsed by the RNC yesterday:

“The current Administration has exceeded its constitutional authority, brazenly and flagrantly violated the separation of powers, sought to divide America into groups and turn citizen against citizen.”

“The current Administration has abandoned America’s friends and rewarded its enemies.”

“The President has refused to defend or enforce laws he does not like, used executive orders to enact national policies in areas constitutionally reserved solely to Congress, made unconstitutional ‘recess’ appointments to Senate-confirmed positions, directed regulatory agencies to overstep their statutory authority, and failed to consult Congress regarding military action overseas.”

Guess who trump invited to speak at his MOB convention.

No thats not our Ron!

The new crop of con men, wannabe mobsters will all be pressing for connections at the trump convention tonight. New marks, fresh meat just pay a little homage.

 

 

Trump’s D.C. Hotel Jacked Up Its Prices as Trump Began Plotting a D.C.-Based Convention

"Listings for rooms at the Trump International Hotel in D.C., via Hotels.com, show rooms for one adult on the night of the address starting at $795 and running as high as $2,070.

That price tag represents a massive increase from the $495 starting rate currently offered for the dates one week following and one week prior. For three days before Trump’s scheduled speech—which were originally scheduled to be the dates of the GOP convention in Charlotte, North Carolina—the hotel is charging $695 a night for its cheapest room. The hotel will begin charging $795 that Thursday, and continue through the weekend, before dropping back to $495 on Monday."
