BOYCOTT the RNC next week....Join me....

I will be watching TV shows I DVRed while I am downstairs, sewing.

Taking nice walks in the evening.

Cleaning to get rid of things I no longer need.

FACT CHECKERS will be working overtime to counter the LIES all the speakers will be spewing. The RNC will be nothing more than a BASHFEST and heaping unearned praise on a man who has RUINED all that was once good in this country.

Not watching, my stomach would object if I did. And I can't tell what my mind would do during and after exposure to the bullshit show.

They'll be having the Kovington Kid, Bunny and Clyde from St. Louis (will they be allowed to bring their guns and wave them around) and who know what other minor illumenaries. And with all the careful planning and thought the RNC is going to put into it, you just know it's going to have a few technical meltdowns. And of course Mel will give a well-crafted and rehearsed plagiarism that will be compared with Michelle's last night! Which of the spawn will speak? Will we get to hear Jared the Incredible boast about how he's killed fewer than 200,000 (at last count)? Oh, the excitement! We've even considered contacting one of the local cannabis delivery companies to enhance the experience. I just wonder now that Herman Cain is dead and Diamond and Silk are in a snit, who is going to be the token Black speaker? Will they wake up Carson?

Of course, we'll be recording it so we can ff through the duller parts....

Nothing to see here, people.

I am sure we will get the low-lites after all is said and done after their nights are finished.

For the first time, I will NOT be watching. I decided that yesterday, because I can only imagine the wall-to-wall vitriol and poison that will pour from their so-called speakers.

I might seek out selected convention low-lights on YouTube, just for laughs.

I doubt the shit show that will be the RNC will be able to match the stories of everyday Americans, the emotions, the quality production, etc. Who will speak on Trump's behalf that he is this genuine caring and selfless human being? I bet Melania will stumble big time when she gives her speech, phony as it will be.

Expect to read about the speakera, the lies, the vitriol of America under Biden will be.
