How we doing finding those lost jobs? Has anybody checked between Bezos's couch cushions?
Gabby Douglas couldn't do the gymnastics in their minds required to make this s*** make sense.
Republicans woke up hungover, ate some spinach, and threw up thinking "liberal spinach making me sick." Really, was it the spinach, or was it waking up drunk and shooting another black guy?
Also...there was a f****** hurricane.
That about says it.
Also, sheriff David Beth and the police chief Daniel Miskinis should be relieved of their jobs (it shouldn't just be the ACLU demanding this, it should be every citizen of Kenosha Wisconsin), the killers who murdered Breonna Taylor — Jon Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove — shouldn't have their liberty, and police departments nationwide should be defunded.
Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, Breonna Taylor should NEVER have been named IN ANY DRAFT as a co-defendant in a plea deal related to drug charges AFTER HER DEATH AT THE HANDS OF LOUISVILLE METRO POLICE, you despicable minions in the seedy underbelly of our justice system!!!!
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover(1989) Peter Greenaway’s painterly splendor of moving tableaux is put at the service of violence and greed in this critique of Thatcher London. It now takes on a prophetic quality, given the past four years here in the United States. I remain conflicted about so effective a movie indulging in what it criticizes: graphic sexual nudity, brutality against…
In his speech closing out the GOP convention, Trump said a vote for Joe Biden would be "the destroyer of American greatness."
Nick Visser at HuffPost:
President Donald Trump capped the Republican National Convention on Thursday with an ominous speech warning of an end to American exceptionalism in an effort to unite the fervent base that helped propel him to victory four years ago.
“Your vote will decide whether we protect law-abiding Americans, or whether we give free rein to violent anarchists, agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens,” Trump said, calling his competitor, former Vice President Joe Biden, a “Trojan horse” for socialism.
“Joe Biden is not a savior of America’s soul ― he is the destroyer of America’s jobs. And if given the chance, he will be the destroyer of American greatness,” he said.
Trump cast his first term as a success for those hoping to see a political outsider in the White House and said he has spent four years fighting Washington’s elite.
“From the moment I left my former life behind, and a good life it was, I have done nothing but fight for you,” he said. “I did what our political establishment never expected and could never forgive — breaking the cardinal rule of Washington politics — I kept my promise.”
The president spoke for more than an hour to a crowd of more than a thousand people at the White House, raising concerns not only about the ethics of using such a storied government building for a political campaign but also the threat of spreading the coronavirus.
Few attendees were seen wearing face masks in the tightly packed crowd.
Trump, like others in his administration this week, made it seem like the United States had already moved past the pandemic, despite the fact that more than 40,000 people are testing positive for COVID-19 each day and hundreds are dying.
“In recent months, our nation, and the entire planet, has been struck by a new and powerful invisible enemy,” the president said. “Like those brave Americans before us, we are meeting this challenge. We are delivering lifesaving therapies, and will produce a vaccine before the end of the year, or maybe even sooner.”
Trump misleadingly said the U.S. had a low fatality rate despite the country having the highest rate of infection and highest number of deaths anywhere in the world. More than 180,000 people have now died from COVID-19 in America.
He also railed against an ongoing movement across the nation to address police brutality and systemic racism, which flared again this week following the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. An apparent white vigilante was arrested for murdering two people and shooting another during protests this week, but Trump instead cast demonstrators as the problem, declaring once again that he would be the nation’s “law and order” president.
“When there is police misconduct, the justice system must hold wrongdoers fully and completely accountable, and it will,” Trump said. “We can never have a situation where things are going on as they are today. We must never allow mob rule.
The president also spoke about his notable yet controversial achievements during his first term, namely his hard-line immigration policies and efforts to build a wall along the southern border with Mexico. He pointed to the appointment of many conservative judges to the federal bench, including two Supreme Court justices, and championed the approval of controversial oil pipelines approved by his administration.
The speech capped the two-week political coronation circuit that also saw Biden accept the Democratic nomination in hopes of unseating Trump in November. The election season will now enter a new and deeply expensive period as both parties spend tens of millions of dollars in advertising in an effort to court voters.
On Thursday, Trump took direct aim at his competitor, claiming that a vote for Biden would be catastrophic for the country.
“In the left’s backward view, they do not see America as the most free, just and exceptional nation on earth,” the president said. “Instead, they see a wicked nation that must be punished for its sins.”
Trump and Biden are scheduled to debate for the first time on Sept. 29. The showdown between their deputies, Vice President Mike Pence and California Sen. Kamala Harris, will take place on Oct. 7.
Trump’s use of buildings like the White House and official government events such as a naturalization ceremony to campaign have drawn condemnation this week. While the president himself is exempt from the Hatch Act, the federal law that prohibits government employees from engaging in political activities while on the job, many government watchdogs have said that the convention spectacle was an open violation of the provision.
Tonight, Donald Trump closed out the 2020 RNC by running a re-run of greatest hits full of lies, hate, divisiveness, delusions, racism, sexism, and raw authoritarianism. The speech outside the White House was also a flagrant violation of decorum that turned the institution’s lawn to be used as a partisan playpen payed by the taxpayers and also a potential superspreader event because of the lack of social distancing protocols and the near-absence of mask-wearing on the lawn.
Trump’s speech tonight was basically the same old lies, hate, and other garbage, no matter how much the legacy media crows about “he’s Presidential.” He had the nerve to gaslight the American people that he is taking the COVID-19 pandemic seriously, when in fact he downplayed the pandemic’s scope by letting it fester unchecked in this nation by taking too little action and too late to make any meaningful impact. He has talked about the virus using racist tropes for the pandemic, by repeatedly calling it the “China Virus.”
He pushed the deranged lie that Joe Biden will “be the destroyer of American Greatness”, when in fact that Trump is the one destroying American Greatness during his tenure as “President.” America is weaker on the global stage due to Trump’s actions, as evidenced by pulling the nation out of the Paris Climate Agreement, World Health Organization, and the Iran Deal.
He had the gall to say that “I KEPT MY PROMISES”, when in fact he routinely breaks them, especially his pledge to not harm Social Security. He did, however, keep his promise to move Israel’s US Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, but not without massive controversy.
His policy on immigration is predicated on racism, especially anti-Hispanic, as evidenced by his cruel family separation policy, demolishing DACA, building the US/Mexico Border Wall, and attacks on immigrants (whether undocumented or legal).
His attack on Biden’s record for supporting free trade deals such as NAFTA and TPP served as a reminder that culturally conservative legacy union Democrats voted for him over Hillary in 2016 over this key issue in their constituency. Now, NAFTA is gone and replaced by the USMCA (which is basically NAFTA 2.0) and the USA is not part of the TPP.
He continued to repeat the ghoulish anti-abortion lie that Biden and the Democrats want to “kill babies up until the moment of birth” to justify support for bans on abortions to attack reproductive freedom.
He continued to push the harebrained “no one will be safe in Biden’s America” distortion by repeating the lie that Biden will “demolish the suburbs”, “defund the police” (which Biden is against), and falsely claimed that his “campaign did not condemn” riots and looting (in which Biden did condem violence while praising nonviolent protests). His speech attacking Black Lives Matter protests across the country is nothing more than a racist bullhorn attack reminiscent of Bull Connor and Nixonian “law and order politics.” He pushed the trope common in conservative media circles that “Democrat-run cities” such as Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis, Seattle, Portland, and Milwaukee are violent hellholes.
He made hypocritical attacks on “cancel culture”, even though he is the movement’s biggest champion.
His unhinged speech tonight is yet another reason I say that he is #NotMyPresident. America CANNOT afford a 2nd term of Trump, and if he gets re-elected, our nation will be in even more trouble. If you want to prevent this nightmare scenario from happening, then get your butt to your polling place, drop box, or mailbox to cast a ballot for the Democratic Party all the way down the ticket from Biden/Harris to your local candidates!!

You can fill the RNC audience of American people that were alive on Monday that are dead today/tonight.
3500 people have lost their lives during the last four days of the RNC. And I can count on one hand how many times anyone has mentioned the number of people that have died of his watch.
America is 4% of the world population with 25% of the world deaths AND cases.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party have murdered 180,814 people as 27/8/20.
