Take a goosey gander at this power line-up:
Hell, half the speakers are being threatened to be left out of his will. Nikki Haley is running for president and Mike Pence is only showing up because … well, Nikki Haley.
Rumor has it that Rudy Giuliani may also speak. Oh Lord, I hope so.
Trump is going to speak every night.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
If anyone heard the Hieronymus Bosch vision of hell speech, given a democratic victory, spewing relentlessly from Dementiadent’s pie hole to the donor class. One might think all the demonic forces of eternal damnation and gehenna choking the lungs with brimstone were allied against… lets say, Democracy, constitutional freedoms: like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the like…

Those photos above represent the players in that Grand Guignol.
I’m glad you can’t wait, JJ. Hoping you can fill me in on the details the next day. Because. I. Will. Not. Watch.
I’ve got two problems:
21] I fear I would get the bends after having watched every night last week. Then to descend into THIS uh, whatchamacallit? The word, “madness” springs to mind. No thank you.
2] I get a severe case of gag reflex when I hear Trump speak, and lately it has been spreading
Some Rep was on KC-DC tonight. He lambasted Trump left, right and center. Then, when asked who he was planning to vote for, proudly proclaimed, Well, duh! Trump!
See what I mean?
Everybody else said no thanks. He got the best lineup he could find.
3This left out snotty punk kid (claim to fame ridiculing a Native real American) and the gun toting Florida couple pieces of shit fending off an attack of peaceful BLM protesters. Won’t watch any of it.
4And come to think of it, where’s Jughead?
5Will watch every gut wrench moment. On the theory that I should “Keep my friends close and my enemies closer.”
I’m more than willing to bury the hatchet with my snacilbupeR friends and family. I just want the handle sticking out of the ground a bit. In case I change my mind.
6WaPo says Kellyanne Conway is leaving the White House to be with her family! Are the rats leaving the ship?
7On the official convention speaker list, why are The Honorable Ivanka Trump & The Honorable Ben Carson & a few others listed as ‘The Honorable’? All I can imagine is that they’re honorable among thieves? Does anyone else have an explanation?

8I won’t be watching. I don’t want to give him the ratings. Like not showing up to a COVID-19 ego rally.
9Grandma Ada @ 6,
I find it odd that both she, and her husband are leaving. Some thought that Kellyanne was the WH insider known as Anonymous, who wrote about the working conditions in the WH. I don’t think “spending more time with my family” is the real reason.
10This convention/carnival/circlejerk is too insane to even bring in Clint Eastwood.
My over/under on major gaffes is 7 (per night).
11Grandma Ada, in their current reincarnation it’s difficult to say what the most objectionable thing is about that pair. That they’ve withdrawn to distance themselves to regroup for a later return or that they manipulated their daughter on social media to set up their phony graceful exit for the “sake of the kids.”
12But if it’s Conway it stinks and they’ll be back more odious than ever.
Micr #6 : I am with you on this idea. NONE of my friends can understand why I listen to the likes of Limpwad, Levin, Beck and their ilk but I absolutely agree with the adage that we must
“Keep friends close but enemies closer.”
Plus, it can be painful to the ears but occasionally there is a comedy gold moment.
I don’t have TV but if this is on the radio somewhere I’ll tune in at least sporadically. Hell, I already have cancer so it is hard to see what I could catch from these dimwits.
13Conwoman’s 15 yo daughter is working on becoming emancipated, hence the “more time with family” thing. Daughter will probably make a run for it now.
SD gov Kruel Kristi NOem doesn’t want extra wage supplement $ for citizens, doesn’t want Medicaid for citizens, sits on $1 billion plus for Covid-19 expenses, won’t talk with tribal leadership, will have $13,000 tv studio installed in capitol building basement so she looks good on Faux Noize, will have Demented Donny to Mt. Rushmore, will insist on super spreader Covid event known as Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, will have $400,000 fence installed around governor’s house, will travel around the country campaigning for Medical Moron, will speak at the RNC, and last -> is desperate for DC job and aiming for VP.
She has one of the lowest approvals in the nation, but some moronic rubes still love her. I abandoned that state in 2006. It abandoned me years earlier. Minnesota is heavenly.
14megasoid: 3 points for the Hieronymus Bosch reference.
But I will miss Clint Eastwood yelling at an empty chair.
15I presume the convention honorific ‘The Honorable’ is used to denote those who haven’t been convicted of a felony (yet). No doubt that would be limited to at most one or two speakers.
McSweeney’s got an early copy of the convention schedule: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/schedule-of-speakers-for-the-2020-republican-national-convention
I still haven’t seen a listing that includes the ‘Nepotism: Making it Work for You’ session.
KellyAnne Conway leaving the WH to ‘spend more time with her family’? I have little difficulty imagining her family’s reaction to that; the only problem is imagining any of them being in favor of it. A daughter attempting emancipation makes it more clear.
16Conway is at the end of the proverbial plank over a sea of hungry sharks. Her marriage is up for grabs. Even her kids can see that. Hence the attempt at emancipation by the 15 y.o.
Plus, 1.) she has delusions of grandeur with a show of her own on FOX; 2.) she needs enough of a break in order to write a book.
17Someone else pointed out that half of the “key speakers” are Trump family members.
As for Conway, I doubt that Fox will pick her up. She has the requisite hair color, but looks like she’s been rode hard and put away wet. Unless their make-up artists are supplied with 55-gallon barrels and trowels, she’s just not the eye-candy they want.
Yes, I realize that looks are superficial – but we’re talking Fox here. I like women like Golda Meier, Indira Gandhi, Madeleine Albright, and Janet Reno – I’d welcome a long flight with any of them alive and in a talkative mood in the next seat, but I’d be the crazy guy trying to open the emergency exit mid-flight if it was some Fox airhead .
18Well, if there is a more qualified confederacy of dunces anywhere on planet earth, I would be surprised. While half of the speakers are related as family, all qualify to appear on America’s Most Wanted for the part they played in creating the swamp that Cheeto Jesus said he was going to drain.
19Hey, you left out Marsha Blackburn, the sycophant from Tennessee who doesn’t think Russia should be left out of the party.
20This production will be a circus put on by his apprentice producers. Using the White House seems borderline illegal as it should not be for political events. RNC claims taxpayers are not footing the bill but I doubt that. So disgusting. Will not be watching the circus.
21Anybody surprised that Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick don’t appear on the list? Could it mean they’ve pushed some women and children overboard to get good seats on a lifeboat to get off the sinking Trumptannic? Come to think of it, no Tom Cotton or Rick Scott either. Have all the 2024 hopefuls got a cold the same week?
22There is no platform. Loyalty to the Leader is the only platform. It’s Germany 1933.
23Wow, such diversity! Half of the speakers are not named Trump. Two men of 6 men are not named Trump (and gasp, one is a POC). One.Person.Of.Color. In Republican America, I guess that’s a huge concession.
24My little bride’s assessment, upon seeing the list of criminal speakers and criminal attendees, “If you ain’t indicted, you ain’t invited.”
