[kidicarus13]

At least I got home in time to watch Marcus Luttrell speak! Oh wait... after his introduction PBS went straight to the 6 talking heads. What a waste of my time, TV OFF.

[Great-Kazoo]

PBS, answers any questions others may have.

[Aloha_Shooter]

As Kazoo said, PBS. I'm surprised they even covered Luttrell's comments.

Melania is on now.....yum. That's a First Lady!!,

She is nice for sure. Much better than Bill (will he be forced to have a lopadicfrome if he becomes first lady?)

[Bailey Guns]

With his history that should've already happened.

[Hummer]

John Kasich again trashed Trump and virtually endorsed Hillary. Sure looks like he's a paid operative of the dem disinformation campaign. Makes you wonder what makes a man capable of being so disingenuous in a public forum.

[GilpinGuy]

Meh, the conventions are just the elite, ruling class jerking each other off. Who gives a shit?

I only like watching celebrities jerk each other off. Politicians, not so much.

Celebs are annoying. Go pretend to be someone else for a while and stfu.

Took me a minute to realize you were talking about celebrities, and not directly to me. I feel like a real moron.

[GilpinGuy]

Whooops. I can see that. Many a flame war has begun this way. [Beer]

We missed the 100 naked women protesters. NSFW link below....don't click it!

[GilpinGuy]

I clicked. The big round things detracted from the "naked" effect for the moat part.

From the article:

"I have two daughters — 9 and 11 — and I want them to grow up in a progressive world with equal rights and equal pay and better treatment for women, and I feel like the 100 women lighting up the sky of Cleveland will send this ray of knowledge onto the cityscape,"

I've heard of some silly names for kids before, but 9/11 seems pretty tacky.

Moooo.

[GilpinGuy]

Yeah, hot chicks don't normally hang around to be photographed naked.

[sniper7]

Only saw 1, possibly 2 that were event decent. One landing strip at least, but yeah, pretty much completely blaaahhhh

Does she have the same speech writer as Michelle Obama? [Eek3]

[roberth]

All the leftists seem to think so. I don't know why a leftist would have a problem with plagiarism though, they do it all the time.

[HoneyBadger]

It worked perfectly last time... why not try it again?

[Martinjmpr]

She is nice for sure. Much better than Bill (will he be forced to have a lopadicfrome if he becomes first lady?)

Considering where he's stuck it I wouldn't be surprised if it had just fallen off by this time.

BTW have you seen pics of Bubba lately? Yikes! Guy looks like death warmed over. [Eek2]

If Hillary doesn't get elected and Bill needs a job he could always be the next Crypt Keeper. [ROFL1]

And apparently, moochelle lifted her speech from alinsky/others.

[Dave]

Probably. I'm sure neither of them wrote their own speeches. It just makes it look bad for the most recent one when you hear the sound bites next to each other and they have parts that are almost word for word of the previous person's. It probably wouldn't look as bad if she were being accused of copying Nancy Reagan or Barbara Bush, but when she's accused of copying someone that's hated by so many in her party it can be spun to seem hypocritical.

[Erni]

The leftists got played. By carefully lifting the speech it does 2 things. 1: can't attack the content without attacking Michelle, which causes the media anuerisms. 2: all they are talking about is plagerism and not the content of the speech.
Game, set, match.

A guy on the radio talking about it was saying that a large part of the copying was just key words like respect, values, he'll work for you, etc. Basically, the same words/phrases that would go into any speech praising someone.

Odd that the left are OK with foreigners coming here and mooching off of others but Malania arguably lifts two sentences from a speech from years ago and they lose their mind.

I wish they would get that mad about Jose sneaking across the border and mooching off of our social programs for years without paying in any tax money or contributing to our country.

It's how they get new voters once they can get amnesty through. They're drooling over the thought of about 11 million new registered democrats. And they pay for it all with something called not their own money.

11 million? How does 30 million sound, that 11M number is a decade old. 30M might be high but the number is closer to 30M than it is to 11M.

[Gman]

The same language often finds its way into these speeches. The MSM is using edited video to make it seem that it was a direct rip-off, but they're taking Melania out of context.

Anything to detract from the RNC.

I guess the MSM also doesn't realize that replaying Michelle's speech shows just how hollow those words were 8 years later.

[Dave_L]

Wait, MSM now cares about integrity? Since when?

[Irving]

I thought the Michelle Obama speech sounded cut up every time they played it, but I haven't seen any video.

[Irving]

Melania Rick-rolled the RNC and it was fabulous, that is all: https://www.instagram.com/p/BIECAIKg-pv/?tagged=rickroll

Yeah, 11 mil is what is figured would be able to register to vote and vote D right away. Not sure where I read it, but it was mentioned 20-25 million total and factoring out disqualifying circumstances for voting and then how many would register as D vs R or other parties.

Agreed.

The (D) have no disqualifying circumstances, they have no morals, no ethics, and no shame.

CNN can blow me, I don't need Lib A-holes telling me what I just heard. The same with FOX, they are all bought out. Is there any impartial place to view what's happening at the RNC?

After watching the speeches by his children I wouldn't be surprised to see Donald Trump Jr or Eric Trump running for congressional seats in the future.

As much as I'm NOT a Trump guy, I'd love to see any of his kids kick out Gerry Nadler or Chuckie Schumer. Won't happen in today's NYC but one can always dream.

[Zundfolge]

The other thing about Trump's kids that I keep coming back to ... if he's such a bad guy, why aren't his kids a mess like many other wealthy families?

Good point. Sounds like he's more than qualified to be Commander in Chief.

[wctriumph]

I have not been able to watch much of the RNC convention so I want to ask, has Sarah Palin made a speech there?

Negative

Let's hope they keep it that way.

...and a [Awesom] to Irving for his dry sarcasm.

[kidicarus13]

Palin will not be speaking at RNC... http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/trump-sarah-palin-republican-convention-225541
