Bravenak's Republican National KKKonvention live blog - Day 2

[bravenak]

So, yesterday ended with the news that Melania Trump used material stolen from Michelle Obama in her speech yesterday and the internet was on fire. Today we have just finished the roll call where Donald officially clinched the nom and the presumptive designation was dropped.

Let's see what insanity these dumbasses get up to today on this second day of the RNC Convention. Yesterday went VERY WELL for Democrats. Not so much for the Trump family.

[nolabear]

1. Welp. Off to a tragic start. He got the nomination.

[bravenak]

4. Barf- they are idiots

The crowd does not look as excited as they did yesterday. That makes me a bit pleased.

[chillfactor]

5. no...

I think it is a good thing it was dumdum who got the nomination...best rethug idiot for Hillary to run against.

[nolabear]

9. Oh, you're right. I just genuinely despise the guy. I'm impressed what he brings out in me.

[sarae]

208. Me too...

He's bringing out a really ugly part of me. lol. I'm not normally a violent person.

[Gothmog]

197. They ignored the rules on roll call votes on the rules

This was a done deal when the RNC ignored the rules to reject roll call votes on the rules

[bravenak]

2. MSNBC reported that Trump flew back to NYC last night

Perhaps he will not be attending his own convention

[redstatebluegirl]

29. He is meeting with his lawyer trying to find out what the divorce will cost him.

[bravenak]

30. He's probably begging Melania to stay

I think he loves this one.

[redstatebluegirl]

31. You may be right, but I'm not sure he loves anyone but himself.

[bravenak]

34. They are just alike

[vegetarian x]

76. You are an incurable romantic, aren't you?

[LynneSin]

79. He loves her but not as much as he loves himself.

I'm sure Don the Con is already making a play for a future Mrs Donald Drumpf the fourth

[tallahasseedem]

92. Nope...he's worried about optics.

I don't believe for one second he would care if he weren't running.

[Laffy Kat]

117. Don't think he does worry much about optics.

He thinks nothing will ding him and he may be right. Why? If I live to be a thousand, I won't figure that one out.

[yeoman6987]

77. Normally they only show the last night

[chillfactor]

3. Hi there....

very happy to see you again...

and I agree with your analysis....let's see what fun tonight brings!

[bravenak]

8. I am hoping it gets even better for us today

[nolabear]

6. So did the Never Trumpers do anything?

I missed it if they did.

[bravenak]

10. I was outside getting some sun and just turned it on

I dont think they had any power to do anything. Doesnt seem like they even tried

[PatrickforO]

71. Yeah, there's another post.

One woman from Utah was calling for a roll call vote and got shouted down. When she went to the bathroom and then left the stall, she was beset by Trump supporters who told her she should die and that protection should be 'withdrawn' from the Utah delegation.

These are some sick, twisted and evil people.

[Sophiegirl]

83. Seriously? n/t

[Cha]

7. I K&R your thread.. have fun ya'll!

[bravenak]

11. I will.

I hope we see something that we can use in a campaign commercial soon. This convention is kinda pathetic.

[Cha]

15. Gotta say, a Trump plagiarizing Michelle Obama on honor, integrity and hard work is a metaphor for

[mcar]

12. Bless you for doing this brave

I had to turn it off last night after crazy Benghazi mom.

[bravenak]

14. I had to walk out on 'racist black cop'

But I came back because repubs are dangerous. Glad I stayed to watch melania steal that speech.

[mcar]

18. Him too

I really lost it with racist R Congress critter saying only white folk ever did anything worthwhile.

[bravenak]

26. Fox news is crying about Don Lemon

Apparently he schooled a black cop on his show on police violence, Fox is pissed.
This whole thing is one long hate rally, with fox news providing propaganda.

[mcar]

50. It is a hate rally

It makes me sad. I'm so old I remember having good, honest arguments with Republicans and still being friends.

[bravenak]

53. Even during Bush 1 and 2 they were humans

Now they are like hate machines. It's Obama and Hillary that they are reacting to. A black AND a WOMAN beating them? Driving them absolutely crazy with their sexist racist asses. Many republicans from before are independents now and the worst of the worst gravitate to the R party. It's depressing but we will win.

[mcar]

61. We will win, I know

I live in very red FL, what used to be Southern Democrats. Tea Party all over the place. SO and I feel like we're the only liberals left. I'm friends with many folk with whom I would never talk politics. It's total Trump here.

But they are good people. It gets depressing, which is why I spend so much time on DU.

[bravenak]

62. My state is red like that too

My republican friends were all driving me nuts talking about the fbi but now they are silent. That is good. I come here to get a break from the overwhelming redness

[mcar]

65. There are still good things to find in red states

One of the reasons I got crazed when people tried to dismiss the South in the primaries.

[bravenak]

68. Oh hell yeah

We're here so it cant be too bad. We live in beautiful places that people love to visit

[mcar]

70. Except for the Republicans filling up our seas with green sludge

I want to see Alaska someday.

[bravenak]

72. You should come someday

Winter, summer. Spring is allergy season so i hide in my house sleeping off my allergy meds.

[mcar]

74. Oy. Allergy season

The worst here in years. Yeah, I'll stay away then.

[vegetarian x]

80. Me too. When congressional alcoholism was socially acceptable +

. . . they all drank together off-hours, they knew how to compromise.

[Her Sister]

25. Ah so you were a witness for the theft!

Hmmmm!

[bravenak]

27. Ha! She stole from Rick Astley too

He should make her pay royalties. I think a speech writer Rick Rolled her.

[nolabear]

13. Talk me up here. I'm finding this depressing.

I know next week will be a real antidote. I'm worried that asshole will do something extreme to try to steal thunder from the Democratic Convention.

[bravenak]

16. I'm not sure Trump is back in town

Thought I heard he left to nyc last night. I think he regrets running and will do something extreme too. But it will backfire as always because he is too lazy to plan and too cheap to pay a sceme planner.

[glennward]

93. Dag, that thumping logo is making me want sex. nt

[bravenak]

122. Me too.nt

[vegetarian x]

85. Someone will "kidnap" the "Lindbergh" grandbaby?

Well, they've done everything else already.

[sheshe2]

19. From last nights speech by Melania.

I just posted it here~

http://all-hat-no-cattle.blogspot.com/

[lovemydog]

21. omg!

[sheshe2]

49. Ha!

[bravenak]

23. Melania Vanilli? OMG

[sheshe2]

33. Soul Sista!

[bravenak]

38. I saw her as Rachel Dolezal posted last night somewhere

I was like, um no. Rachael wrote her own damn shit. She was a proud black white woman. Like her better than Melania.

[livetohike]

78. ROFL

[lovemydog]

20. Give us all the juicy details.

Last night's theme of Behghazi! got overshadowed by plagiarism. Can't bring myself to watch this KKKrap. Will read about the hatefest here.

[bravenak]

22. Oh I will

Live feed coming from Trump Tower soon. Trump is not even at his own convention.
I'm switching to fox for five minutes of fuck me

[lovemydog]

24. LOL!

Why the hell is he not at his own convention. I did hear he flew to NYC. Why?

[bravenak]

28. I'm pretty sure Melania told him to get his mutha fucking ass on that plane or else

[SheriffBob]

39. Answer

To smoke some crack and pcp.

[bravenak]

41. And meth

He needs that to stay all juiced up

[lapucelle]

46. And he stood up an important group of donors to do it.

[sheshe2]

54. Served a subpoena?

Just a thought~

[calimary]

90. Don't worry. He'll bill his campaign for it and make money off of it.

That's what he does, by holding campaign events at his Trump Tower. He stays home and "rents" it for five figures. As a campaign expense.

Same thing for his other properties. Nice little "deduction", 'eh?

[tallahasseedem]

96. It's off to a bad start of course...

they say Donald will be speaking soon. I don't ever remember a candidate talking so much to the convention.

[bravenak]

32. ALASKA IS CONTESTING THE VOTE TOTALS

[lapucelle]

37. And Reince Priebus is on stage chomping away on chewing gum.

[bravenak]

40. Paul Ryan seems secretly pleased that Trump fucked this up

[mcar]

52. Right?

He's barely hiding that smile. Oh, hijinks are ensuing.

[bravenak]

56. He aint hiding it no more

He is extra giddy and happy on stage right now

[glennward]

35. Well, Ryan should just walk off the stage since they are yelling "We want Trump." nt

[bravenak]

43. He should go home and pretend he was never there

[chillfactor]

58. you have that right...

this whole Alaska thing could screw up the whole night's schedule. but ryan seems happy there is a screw-up.

[bravenak]

64. The system is rigged!!!

This is a great convention!

[nolabear]

36. Sarah Palin gets her revenge...

[nolabear]

42. Now let's let state after state do this and totally fuck up tonight's program!

C'MON Colorado! C'MON Ohio!!

[bravenak]

44. Please please please!

Yay ALASKA! My state is sooo like this. I knew they'd get rowdy

[nolabear]

47. How many Trumps can you bump?

C'MON! Put your back into it!

[chillfactor]

48. and more drama dear bravenak...

Alaska protesting recorded vote count.

[bravenak]

51. I love my state!!!!!! Yay!!!

[glennward]

55. OK, Bravenak. Turning it over to you.

I enjoyed last night watching Netflix as the RNC contention proceeded. Save my head some pain. Especially enjoyed waking up early this morning the plager-gate. Seem like the most important part of the event last night took place in "the wee small hours of the morning" (taking care of quotes).

[bravenak]

57. You were smart

It was a nasty show. But I stayed up hoping for some fallout and boy oh boy was I rewarded! I dont mind watching it so others can avoid that evil thing. The fact checks are the most important part to me.

[Gothmog]

59. K&R

[nolabear]

60. Uh-oh. Nickole Wallace is turning on them. Calls the Alaska protest gross party incompetence.

[bravenak]

66. She has been burning them since last night

[nolabear]

67. There's nothing like plagiarism to piss off a journalist. Now Chuck Todd's burning them.

[bravenak]

69. everybody is calling them incompetent

[nolabear]

73. Everybody is right.

Let's see if anybody gets professional now.

[nolabear]

63. LOL! Ryan stumbled over Trump's name as he announced.

Donald Day Trump.

[SunSeeker]

87. LOL

[tallahasseedem]

98. Maybe he was trying to nominate Daniel Day Lewis?

He did a hell of a job in Lincoln. He's a method actor, so he would do a better job than Trump!

[nolabear]

75. Oh good. UFC President yelling into the mic.

If I was cutting, I'd have cut him.

[lovemydog]

112. Dana White - yuck.

He made $300 million from the recent sale of the UFC. Treats the fighters like employees. I guess he doesn't want to pay any taxes.

[ailsagirl]

81. Two important questions

1) Did they track down the source of the stench (rotten bananas and mildew)?

2) Has the norovirus claimed any more victims?

Just need to keep current

[wildeyed]

82. Anyone know what time Paul Ryan is speaking?

OMG, that is going to be hilarious. He HATES Trump but has to speak because Unity

[nolabear]

84. Damn. This woman is a godawful speaker. She pauses for applause after every line.

[Greywing]

86. Who the heck are these speakers

No substance at all ... just hate hate hate. Nothing of substance ... no talking about the issues. This is just disgusting.

[uponit7771]

89. Buncha no bodies!!!

[SunSeeker]

91. Who could they possibly be winning over with this crap?

It is boring. Same old right wing talking points, Hillary derangement syndrome on steroids. Nothing about the future or actual proposed policy.

[tallahasseedem]

88. Why is so much time given to Rudy?

He is NOT relevant anymore!

[SunSeeker]

94. GOP women must love that spiddle spewing lisp?

[tallahasseedem]

97. I hope not...

that was a raving lunatic rant...someone should have sedated him.

Chris Matthews was slobbering all over him as usual. I can't take his shit anymore.

[lovemydog]

109. I loved what Joe Biden said about Rudy

back when he ran for prez. That all he ever said was 'A noun, a verb and 9/11!' I guess now it's all 'A noun, a verb and Hillary!'

[AgadorSparticus]

145. He is the only one that will talk?

[NastyRiffraff]

95. I left during that Arkansas woman's speech

The AG. Her voice is like fingernails down a blackboard.

[uponit7771]

99. What the hell...

[nolabear]

100. Oh look. It's Young Blonde Woman night.

Not to cast aspersions on any of these women's looks but they all look almost exactly alike.

[nolabear]

101. Trump phoning in. What's wrong with his combover? It's really sparse looking.

Maybe Melania snatched him baldheaded last night.

[wildeyed]

103. He is BAD on the teleprompter.

And yeah, I still get hypnotized by the hair too.

[Greywing]

102. I think they just went out begging people, just any one they could find

to speak at this convention. They are so boring the networks keep cutting away. No issues, no suggestions on how to fix the problems facing our country. Just blah, blah, Hillary hate, blah, blah, blah.

[wildeyed]

104. The Turtle is on!

Imma throw a PokeBall at him, see if I can bag one for my collection.

[nolabear]

105. Dear God. McConnell is touting the hard work Congress has done.

[wildeyed]

106. Scary thing is, he is the best speaker they have put up yet.

At least that I have seen. They are in DEEP doodoo if McConnell is the A-Team.

[wildeyed]

107. Paul Ryan looks sad.

And old. I could have warned him about accepting that Speaker job

More doom and gloom... Be afraid! Be SO afraid!

[nolabear]

110. Oh, the only thought in his head is "2020."

Although I agree he is very low energy. Maybe his soul is shriveling.

[wildeyed]

114. Nah, he lost his soul when he decided to support Trump.

Maybe he will make it up to us by committing Seppuku at the end of this interminable nothing of a speech.

[nolabear]

116. The applause must be deafening. I can't hear any.

[wildeyed]

118. What? Applause?

I fell asleep for a minute

[musicblind]

108. Are there usually this many empty seats? n/t

[AgadorSparticus]

148. Are there pictures of this? Would love to see....

[wildeyed]

111. RONALD REAGAN!

Finally. Everyone DRINK!

[lovemydog]

115. lol!

[nolabear]

113. Suppose this jackass will endorse him during this speech? Is his soul that dead?

[nolabear]

119. HEEEEEEEEEEERE'S Christie!

*sigh*

[bravenak]

121. He is irritating with his loud mouth

[wildeyed]

125. GUILTY!!!!!!

Red meat for the frothing masses!

[lovemydog]

120. Some of the stuff I've read about this convention,

it's so surreal I don't even know if it's true or not.

So, anyone please tell me:

Last night, was it actually the first party convention in which a bunch of speakers are calling for their opponent to be jailed?

This VP nominee Pence: did he really try and pass a law in Indiana requiring funerals for fetuses?

Did Trump get up there with a shotgun or rifle or something?

Did some actual elected leader say that President Obama is a Muslim?

Has anyone there proposed any substantive policy whatsoever?

Did their party platform really say that online porn is a public health crisis?

What are some of the more whacko things people there are saying or doing?

[bravenak]

123. Ok

1. Yes. I think this was the first convention to jail an opponeng
2. Yes. He wants us to pay for funerals.
3. Did not see Trump with a shot gun. It would just make his hands look smaller to hold one.
4. It was antonio sabato jr (soap star) who called O muslim.
5. No policy
6. Yes. They want to fight the healt menace of porn
7. There is so much crazy in that one place I cannot even find anything to say. We may need to write a retrospective when this ends.

[wildeyed]

127. "It would just make his hands look smaller to hold one"

[bravenak]

129. He better try a derringer

[wildeyed]

124. ....

Last night, was it actually the first party convention in which a bunch of speakers are calling for their opponent to be jailed?

Yes

This VP nominee Pence: did he really try and pass a law in Indiana requiring funerals for fetuses?

OMG, what?

Did Trump get up there with a shotgun or rifle or something?

Not that I saw, but wouldn't rule it out.

Did some actual elected leader say that President Obama is a Muslim?

Probably

Has anyone there proposed any substantive policy whatsoever?

No. Paul Ryan might have, but I was asleep because boring.

Did their party platform really say that online porn is a public health crisis?

That would be kinda hypocritical, but wouldn't rule it out.

What are some of the more whacko things people there are saying or doing?

Yesterday was surreal. Don't know where to start.

[bravenak]

126. Christie is fake indicting Hillary

[wildeyed]

128. ooooohhhhh, delete!!!!!

BURN!

[bravenak]

131. He is corny as fuuuuck

[wildeyed]

133. Did he just bring up Vince FOSTER?

I stepped away, but still had the volume up.

[bravenak]

135. Oh shit! I missed it

[wildeyed]

137. Maybe I misheard....

Too low even for Christie?

[bravenak]

139. Nothing is too low for scum

[wildeyed]

142. The oil was just DRIPPING off of him when he made

the "less charm" comment.

God, his career must be completely f'ed to be willing to make that speech.

[bravenak]

147. His career is over

Now way he ever wins another seat

[nolabear]

146. This is why voir dire is important. So the lawyer can't lie into the prejudices.

[nolabear]

149. It's so kind of Trump to askTiff about her family in Georgia.

You know, the one he divorced.

[bravenak]

151. Him as a proscecutor is scary shit

[nolabear]

153. Oh yeah. Not a moral to his name.

[bravenak]

141. Trump's Daughter is up

The younger one I think

[wildeyed]

154. The "God Bless You" did not seem to come naturally.

[bravenak]

155. Not at all

I think she was nervous after what happened to Melania

[wildeyed]

143. Spawn is up next.

Stay tuned, sports fans.

[bravenak]

157. Who is the douche on stage?

[wildeyed]

159. The Donald, Jr.

I keep trying to see his hands, but they are covered by the MSN banner. I'm going to check CSPAN....

He clearly wants to follow Pops into the political arena. Shoot me. Oh! And fancies himself EXPERT on educational policy too

[bravenak]

160. Ack ack!!

He is hurl worthy

Did he just say Hillary would fail background check? Oh shit! He just said inner city chicago

[wildeyed]

166. And lying about the 2nd Amendment.

He is better looking than his Dad and a better speaker too. If he fixed the douchebag hair, he could be a really good politician. Evil as fuck, but good on TV. But he has his daddy's hands

He can walk out to this one. Big hands I know your the one!

[bravenak]

167. He looks like a greasy weasel to me but you right

Better politician than his daddy but fuck he is a lying sack of shit. He should be governor of somewhere with all that bullshit coming out of his mouth.

[wildeyed]

168. He could get elected.

It will be fun when he gets indicted. And you KNOW he will be indicted for something. Inevitable.

[bravenak]

169. Oh hell yeah!

Just not my state!!!

[bullwinkle428]

158. Fuck you, Uday! Worthless trophy killer.

[uponit7771]

161. lol... Uday tRump... very fitting

[bravenak]

164. You win.

Best post of the day

[bravenak]

162. Can he blow that dog whistle any harder?

[bravenak]

163. O

this mutha fucka just called people 'crony elites'

[wildeyed]

170. Donald Trump, Jr. just said that!

You say anything, these people will believe.

[bravenak]

171. They have mega cojones

[bravenak]

165. Is this asshole asking questions so the crowd can answer 'Trump!'

Corny

[rbrnmw]

172. Ewww Trump JR is smarmy

Nasty pos

[bravenak]

174. His face girl

Makes me want to remove my eyes

[rbrnmw]

177. Eye bleach material

Most definitely

[bravenak]

179. Oh god

Here goes Ben Carson with his religious conspiracy theories. Sigh.

[rbrnmw]

182. He performed surgery on that whole convention girl

[bravenak]

185. Shut that whole Trump Jr praise thing right down

He ruined it, lol

[rbrnmw]

192. Right? That crowd had no fucking clue he was saying, he was just wayyy off script

more Dr. Carson please

[bravenak]

198. He sounded just like people from my old church, I was like oh shit!

Then he was using big words? Oh fuck no. They were confused as hell, poor thangs.

[vanlassie]

191. I heard him on the radio. He was coked up.

[rbrnmw]

196. I think that is the Trump family drug of choice

[bravenak]

173. I just heard that Ben Carson was going to speak tonight

I wonder if he's buzzed tonight. Here he is boring me already.

[wildeyed]

175. I think he moonlights as one of the guys from Bad Lip Reading.

Seriously. Listen when he talks. It's the same.

[bravenak]

178. Seriously

He talks in weird code. Like watching a religious themed movie

[wildeyed]

181. Too much Adderall tonight.

He is jittery and going on about Lucifer and Saul Alinsky

He is forgetting who he is talking to and using his SAT words. They do not understand "deleterious", etc.

[bravenak]

187. Yep. He was college level, I was like, oh shit

Then lucifer and alinski? I want MORE CARSON!!!!

[bravenak]

176. Ben Carson is fear mongering

Not on weed tonight, I think
Gloom and doom ben

[rbrnmw]

180. This whole Convention is full of me and Mr rbrnmw

[bravenak]

183. Mine is sitting here with me yelling and falling off the chair

We had to go outside earlier and get the neighbors out to talk about it. I think Ben Carson just accused somebody of worshiping "Lucifer".

[wildeyed]

184. He was waaaaay off script, according to Maddow.

[bravenak]

186. I want him to speak tomorrow too

This was awesome

[wildeyed]

188. Every day, all day.

He can fillibuster the convention

Bedtime for me. Morning comes early on east coast time. Y'all hold down the fort

[bravenak]

189. Hell yeah

Good night! My time zone is way over here between cali and hawaii. It's still daytime outside.

[rbrnmw]

190. Was lmfao

[bravenak]

195. Me too. I would be embarassed to be an R right now

[lovemydog]

227. Okay, I watched a couple things and will describe them.

Donald Trump's son talked about the ruling elite and the media being against them. He seemed really pissed off. He tried to get the crowd going by saying some things that might deem a call and response (the response was supposed to be Donald Trump!) but didn't get it going.

CNN peeps tried talking a bit. Behind them were some republicans holding up signs like 'Don't believe the liberal media' and 'Clinton News Network.' They were acting all sheepish like they were playing some brilliant prank. Every now and then they'd smile like the cat that swallowed the canary.

The arena is nowhere near full. I think reporters outnumber convention attendees by 5-1.

Ben Carson said that he's against political correctness. Then he said Hillary liked a book by Saul Alinsky, that in the book Alinsky mentions Satan, so perhaps HILLARY CLINTON WORSHIPS SATAN. I think he was trying to be witty. No one laughed.

That was all I could stand to watch. Made me feel gross.
