Damn good read; spot on.
Fucking. Savage.
Well, damn… that’s way more powerful than any of the shade the Lincoln Group has thrown to date; I hope they bought mad airtime on Fox.
Fuck you, Ivanka.
The banality of these Black validators can be seen most clearly when you compare their roles to what the white speakers were allowed to do at the convention. Think of it this way: Most of the white speakers came armed with some agenda. They wanted more farm subsidies or fewer abortions or more Jesus in schools or the right to shoot Black people walking past their homes. But the Black speakers seemingly wanted nothing. There were no additional policies they desired or issues they wanted addressed. They had no goals they wanted the next Trump administration to accomplish and no legislation they wanted Republicans to pass.
while i didn’t watch any of it, from the quotes ive heard, this seems spot on.
I just heard that on night 3 of the convention Mike Pence’s own elderly mother (his actual mother, not the one he married) was in the audience for his speech, unmasked among the other unmasked and untested attendees. I thought the VP couldn’t sink any lower when it came to ingratiating himself to Trump, but apparently he’s willing to sacrifice his closest family members if that’s what it takes.
Edit to add- here’s an excerpt from the speech transcript:
F’n sycophant.
And he might well continue to draw the crowds, because their thinking will run: “if I catch it and die, I’ll be going straight to heaven because I was martyred in a holy cause.”
Apropo of nothing, just a tiny moment of the miserable Trump family lives to enjoy. The comments are fun too.
IF FUCKIN’ ONLY it would end like the last episode of Dynasty…
Well, he is Black and trying to protect people who enforce those commie lib rules. Of course he got shot. (I have been using those emojis way too much lately. Damn sucky timeline.)
“weaponization of exhaustion.” I will have to remember that term.
largest crowd in history. ratings like you wouldn’t believe.
( the funniest thing about the “silent majority” is ive never known a single trump supporter who’s silent about anything. )
Even funnier; ‘silent majority’ traditionally refers to the dead.
