Annotated RNC Speakers List – Day 1

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Your Republican Party! RNC DAY 1 Speakers Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) - The GOP's last remaining African American will be on hand to talk about how he is living proof that the GOP isn't a white supremacist organization.  House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (La.) - Addressed an anti-Semitic, white supremacist group run by none other than David Duke, a former grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan. Now he is going to address this white supremacist group, no doubt to inform them that, having been shot by a left wing radical, radical left-wing violence is a thing everyone should be utterly terrified of.    Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) - Too many scandals to list.  Here is one: Gaetz invited alt-right Holocaust denier[98] Charles C. "Chuck" Johnson to attend President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.  He is addressing the RNC to expand on his remarks that were removed from twitter:   "Now that we clearly see antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?"  Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio) - Knew but did not act during his time as an assistant coach, standing silent as a OSU team doctor molested hundreds.   Because it is impossible for Republicans to feel shame, and in keeping with the "up is down" theme, Jordan is on hand to tell everyone that Joe Biden will molest your wresting team.   
Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley - Resigned one day after an ethics watchdog requested an investigation into her acceptance of free flights on private jets.  The last remaining shreds of Haley's reputation will be collected in a coffee can and burned.   
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel -  Any Republicans worried that that ethical rot hasn't penetrated into the bones of the GOP will be put at ease by McDaniel's address which will highlight stories like the time Trump nominated San Diego billionaire/campaign donor, Doug Manchester to be the ambassador to the Bahamas but the appointment was held up in the GOP run Senate until McDaniel sent Manchester an email setting up a corrupt quid pro quo: “Would you consider putting together $500,000 worth of contributions from your family to ensure we hit our ambitious fundraising goal?” McDaniel wrote. Mark and Patricia McCloskey - St. Louis gun waving guns a-holes.   Donald Trump Jr. - A chip off the old block, lowlife piece of shit.   Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk -  Just read this

Trump’s Shadow Chief of Staff

> Fox News personalities constantly spout off some crazy shit to keep their lunatic audience engaged. > Trump listens to the crazy shit 24/7 and creates US policy on the fly while in front of his TV. > We all kinda know this but nobody in the real media has really watched enough Fox News to fully document the depth of the cause & effect relationship.

Here is a good podcast to listen to

When I say something trenchant in this I'm probably quoting Rob Burns without attribution.   . Also watch the movie 'Children of Men'.  
Canio  and Jason from Delaware Liberal join Rob in the virtual bunker to talk about the Biden/Harris fanfare in Delaware, whether or not it's important to vote for Biden here in Delaware, and what the implications are of a Biden presidency. Show Notes:

Be Prepared No. 2 #Generalstrike

Believe Trump when he says that he will burn the country down before accepting the verdict of voters.  On top of that transparency, we have a Democratic Party that is giving Trump and opening by running the always terrible "50% plus 1, Chase the Moderates" strategy.    When the time comes: 
  • Stop Working
  • Stop Buying
  • Empty your Accounts (stack up cash) 
  • Be Prepared
How it will probably go down via Slate:
It is the late evening of Nov. 3, 2020—Election Day. The race is tight. It’s come down to the three states that President Donald Trump barely won in 2016: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Most in-person votes have been counted, and Trump holds a small lead in each state. But there are millions of mail-in ballots that election officials have not yet processed. Hundreds of thousands of voters dropped their ballots in the mail days ago, but they haven’t been received. Meanwhile, thousands of ballots that were mailed in time have been rejected due to alleged technical defects. The outcome of the election turns on all these outstanding votes. But Trump, on the basis of the results so far, declares victory and dismisses the remaining mail-in ballots as fraudulent and illegitimate. The Republican-controlled legislatures of all three states agree, assigning their electoral votes to the president. Trump has secured a second term in the White House.  
 

DNC Reaction Thread

Pretty good. The young women from AZ who's Dad died from trusting Trump was a standout.   Michelle Obama was great.  She really drives conservative insane, which is a nice bonus.  The "Republicans" didn't bother me much.  It felt like a perfunctory nod to the nation's 3,500 remaining "centrists".  According to Nate Silver the states that will decide the election this year are Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida.  Every election is a "base turn out election" because THERE ARE NO UNDECIDED VOTERS, so I wonder how well this played in terms of firing up the base in this states?  

Correction: Biden is NOT Trying to Lose This Election

Check this shit out. Utterly disgusting. If the Democratic Party ever tried to get Demcocrats to vote in large numbers - it would be impossible for Republicans to win. Instead we ALWAYS get this shit. Chasing after 1,500 "swing" voters while telling tens of thousands of liberal Democrats to go fuck themselves.
