What was fun about that clusterfuck?
Plagiarized speeches and phrases.
Il Duce imitations.
FEC violation.
Music that was played without permission.
Speakers who refused to endorse the nominee.
Escorting a speaker's wife out because they feared for her safety.
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

Was it FUN when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

FUN isn't supposed to be what you call selecting our leaders. FUN is what you are supposed to have when you go to the beach or on vacation.

FUN?

the DNC. During coverage before Trump's speech they said nothing we could do would make it as exciting as this week. Plagiarism? Hate? Salem With Trials?

The MSM is dreadful.

For sure, I had fun watching that Cluster Fusk. But I am worried that too much of America is lapping that shit up.

is up with ADULTS that need o be entertained or enticed? Are they stupid?
Are they so childish they cannot grasp the seriousness of the situation and thus ned to have a political orgasm before they can choose a candidate?
Wtf is wrong with ppl?

Todd does it for the controversy and bringing in the $.

But the problem isnt just the MSM news. Its entitled foolish people who apparently need another reason than fear to vote for Hillary as they dont believe the SCOTUS picks are truly an issue etc. Because they have visions of hope blah blah. Nevermind that it was the conservative packed SCOTUS that allowed Citizens United ruling to happen, or Bong Hits for Jesus ruling to take away actual rights. How stupid and childishly self absorbed does one have to be to not grasp this? Stoned?

Ya know, if 'Independence Day' were real these would be the fools standing atop the building with 'welcome to our planet' signs right before they are blown to smithereens.


The entire need enticed , its Hillary's fault if Trump wins because she didnt stroke their fragile egos crowd are self centered children, who obviously have nothing to lose or are as dumb as a stone when it comes to how the government works.
