Here’s my story:
And I’m sticking to it.
No matter what they say.
Or do.
It’s gonna be the best week ever!
Republican “Hungry for Power Games”
His last line: I know I am not supposed to be up here but neither is Donald Trump.
That’s entertainment. I can’t wait for Chachi’s foreign policy speech.
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.
Not certain I can stomach actually watching/listening to all the tripe, so will probably depend on the beauty salon and other (C&L) sources for info. Kudos to those with strong stomachs!
1Can’t believe it, but I’m actually on Rove’s side on this one. If that freakin’ lunatic came anywhere near me, I’d yell for security, too.
2I don’t get it. Alex Jones is a whole cloth creation of turdblossom. Why would he not want to talk to his Frankenstein’s masterpiece?
3I just want to know who has the popcorn and the sickness bag concessions. They’ll make a killing!
4My stomach wasn’t even strong enough to handle the debates and frankly, the Anybody but a Republican ticket had my vote in 2012. But sometimes, I wish I didn’t live in a swing state and could throw up my hands and go out back, dig a hole, and pull it back in with me.
5Kiddin’ me? I’m using gobs of vacation time this week. I expect to see the snacilbupeR finger point and name call. I DEMAND it in fact. I want a spectacle worthy of Nero. And an equally Nero-worthy conflagration. Every f’ing night. I want the electorate to see this all in living color on the electric tv. I hate these snacilbuypeR. I hate their self-absorbed superiority. I’d wouldn’t mind it if a few got $hit-faced and found themselves on the side of the road chatting with a local gendarme discussing the ins and outs of “breath test refusal”s and DWI/DUI and how yeah ever since I got out of the car with my FTO the Chief said I can write as many of these as I want.
6Today’s National Journal
SHOT…
7“Despite her delicate features and voice, Disney expects us to believe that Mulan’s ingenuity and courage were enough to carry her to military success on an equal basis with her cloddish cohorts.” — Pence, in a 1999 op-ed. (BuzzFeed)
…CHASER
“Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I’ve tried. When will my reflection show who I am inside?” (Mulan)
This is where the police need to be militarized. Bring out the tanks, Kevlar, helmets and anything else to protect themselves from all the nuttos converging on that city. Call out the National Guard, swat teams, Marines and Air Force. They want to be the party of Law and Order, well give them what they want. And especially for the Texas contingent, armed armadillos. Open carry is such a good idea.
8Thank God we don’t have it in PA, so at the Dem convention in Philly, it will be easier to spot the bad guys with the guns.
Everyone gets to speak, except Baron “why did you name me after the family dog” Drumpf.
9For some years I studied and and participated in theatrical productions. Through all the rehearsels and late night preparations, one fact about live theater is quickly learned: Curtain at 8.
Curtain at 8. You go with what you’ve got. Now or never. Ready or not. And you will be judged on all the choices and hard work you did (or didn’t) do.
The nation has watched the Republican circus for the last year. They’ve had plenty of time to prepare and rehearse. Let’s see what they have made.
Houselights fade to black. Curtain up.
10Thank God for TCM [Turner Classic Movies] and Animal Planet Channel and PBS’s Create Channel — except for all those bbq and smoke-everything-in-sight shows! I do like the PBS travel shows … I can leave home without ever leaving my apartment!! But one guy, Richard Bangs, never takes off his stupid baseball cap when he’s in someone’s home, a church, sitting down to eat ANYWHERE … at least it is NOT a red Drumpf hat!!
11No, I won’t be watching any of the Rats Need Convincing show.
Pop-Corn, Beer and lot’s of Jack Daniels.Lot’s and Lot’s of JD.
12This should be as much fun as any Goat Roping you ever been too. Hopefully the end of The Gross Old Pervert’s.
Can’t stomach watching it. I’ll wait for the lowlight reel.
Enjoyed this in a WashPost comment section:
— Former Senator Gordon Humphrey just said, on live TV, “Donald Trump is so ignorant of everything, he hasn’t got a clue what’s going on!” This is happening becasue a group of Cruz and Kasich delegates have enough votes to change the rules, but can’t present their petition because the Secretary of the Convention is HIDING from them. They are 1 hour and 45 minutes into this thing and it’s a train wreck already!
— Once again I’d underestimated the Republicans. I thought they wouldn’t screw it up until at least 4 hours in.
— I had 1 hour and 30 minutes in the office pool…..But I live in Cleveland so we had some insider info.
13We may have some entertainment at 4:00.
Cleveland – Republicans looking to unseat Donald Trump as their party’s presidential nominee appear to have the signatures they need to force a full vote on the national convention rules, a move intended to provide a platform for anti-Trump voices and to embarrass the billionaire.
To force that vote, the faction would need signatures from the majority of delegates from 7 states or territories. According to documents provided to POLITICO, they have a majority of signatures from 9: Colorado, Washington state, Utah, Minnesota, Wyoming, Maine, Iowa, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
The group says former New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey has submitted the signatures to the convention secretary.
Submitting those signatures would force a roll call floor vote from all 2,472 delegates to the convention on the Republican National Committee rules that an 112-member panel voted through last week. Those rules required pledged delegates to vote for the candidate dictated by their state’s primary or caucus results, a system that would allow Trump to clear the number of votes he needs for a nomination. The faction is hoping those rules will be voided and replaced with rules that allow delegates to vote their conscience.
While they’re highly unlikely to win the roll call vote, the Never Trump delegates hope to at least draw attention to their cause and, with a large vote count, prove what they’ve long claimed: that a significant section of the party still doesn’t support the presumptive nominee.
The RNC and Trump campaign have been working to avoid such a vote, hoping to present a united front at the convention.

14Rove is flying commercial? How the mighty have fallen.
15I don’t think I can stomach it. I might take a peek now and then, but switch away quickly before nausea overwhelms me.
Go protesters! Mess it all up!
16Great content

17Well, since they’re not allowed to vote their conscience – THERE’S a novel concept! – wouldn’t it be cool if all the anti-Trumpers just abstained? He still wouldn’t get his required 50% on the first ballot.
18Debbo@16:
Don’t let the protesters mess it up — I want the GOP to do this all on their own. Let’s not provide them with any convenient scapegoats; they gotta earn this all on their own, and they’ve got the (lack of) talent to do it.
19And Ken the Kooch-in-nelli was so disgusted with the way things went right off the bat that he tore off his ID badge, threw it on the ground and departed. May he permanently retire to that deep dark cave of after-political-life and zip it up after hisownsorryself.
As for Rove, anyone remember that photo of him sitting on the ground with his brief case underneath a big ass airplane? He really, really looked like he’d had it. That was the first time I ever knew his house pet name was Turd Blossom.
This kind of stuff is likely to keep up. Its going to be an experience the GOP will pray very hard to forget!
20They’re letting former Gov Oops, pRick Perry speak. That should be good for a few gaffes. Melania Drumpf has been practicing her speech for weeks. That teleprompter must be difficult; not to mention how spontaneous and natural a speech will be after weeks of practice. D’oh .. now I get it; she’ll be acting. ‘K. And, what’s a snacilbubeR confab without their Dog? Show us a sign!
Oh, that’s good. That’s very good. On its way to the Q, the Drumpf motorcade was involved in a vehicle accident. While a train wreck would have been more apropos, I’ll take that as a sign.
21I understand that if they abstain from voting, it will throw the convention into chaos.
22Smirk!!! I saw on-line that the Colorado delegation walked out!! I think a few other states have opted to walk out as well!
23Just snagged this on-line:
The Iowa and Colorado delegations walked out, as in less than three hours tensions have boiled over at the Republican convention. While all of this was happening on the convention floor, GOP nominee Donald Trump was sending angry tweets to CNN.
Here is what was happening on the convention floor via ABC News:
The floor of the Republican National Convention erupted into chaos Monday amid an attempt by the Never Trump forces to change the rules of the event, but the efforts were defeated, thwarting the movement to stop the real estate mogul’s path to the nomination.
Delegates engaged in dueling chants of “roll call vote” and “USA” on the floor after the chair forced a voice vote and judged that those who favored the existing rules prevailed. Colorado’s delegation even walked off of the floor in protest amid the chaos.
The Iowa and Colorado delegates walked out. It was the sort of show of division that should have bothered any nominee unless that nominee is Donald Trump.
The Republican Party is burning itself to the ground in Cleveland, and Donald Trump is worried about his media coverage on CNN.
Trump isn’t even paying attention to what’s happening on the convention floor. All he is concerned with is how it looks on television. Donald Trump is letting the world know that he expects the convention to be about him, not the Republican Party.
If he were based in reality, Trump would realize that he has a major problem on his hands. But Donald Trump lives in a little fantasyland, where instead of leading the GOP, he is more worried about what cable news is saying about him.
The man who is now running the Republican Party isn’t even paying attention to what’s going on.’
24—————————–
He is sending out nasty tweets that CNN isn’t paying attention to him!! OMG LOL
Kick off time? Good advice for the entire wingnut party. Too bad. So sad.
25One of the most telling things I’ve read about Trump was from a (the only?) black guy on The Apprentice. He went to Trump’s office, as he was told to do, and sat there for half an hour while Trump, ignoring him, went through a stack of magazines on his desk. Each one was marked with a post-it note, and Trump would open at the note, read the article, and go on to the next magazine. After a while the guy realized that every article Trump was reading was about Trump. That was ALL he cared about.
26I am coming down with a really bad case of schadenfreude. I don’t expect to get over it for another three days. I think that rum will help with the symptoms.
27Nah, I’ll pass…
I have too many shows on the American History Channel to watch for the third/fourth time. Or maybe Huang’s World on the Vice Channel. You know, clear visions of where we’ve been, and where we’re going…
28With the deadly dull of day one, Donnie needs a spectacular finish for this spectacular flop show. Something electrifying:
