Bringing out the fucking Declaration now holy shit what a fucking joke!

 

[commedieu]

I'm late to the stream, what's happened so far?

Take your grandmother's finest China and throw it into a wood chipper then douse it with lit military grade fuel.

 

[BillWalton]

This dude is saying absolutely nothing. Just trying to change the subject.

 

[thekonamicode]

Can anyone summarize what just happened? I just now tuned into this circus.

Sam Sanders @samsanders
Secretary received requests from 9 states for a roll call vote. But three states didn't reach rule threshold. Says it's insufficient request

 

[geomon]

Ken Cuccinelli is the guy who threw his credentials down.

 

[Pryce]

Can someone tell me what exactly is going on?

Roll call, right?

 

[jmdajr]

"WHO IS PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!?"

Dammit man, this guy knows how to get us all back in line. We can't resist responding to that nor a good USA USA USA chant.

.."right here.....in CLEVELAND, OHIO!"

 

[RPGCrazied]

Is this guy suppose to calm the waters?


Uhm...

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Ken Cuccinelli is the guy who threw his credentials down.

Whoa, what did Ken do?

 

[NullPointer]

Bringing out the fucking Declaration now holy shit what a fucking joke!

They must uphold the cognitive dissonance.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

"WHO IS PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!?"

Dammit man, this guy knows how to get us all back in line. We can't resist responding to that nor a good USA USA USA chant.

i'm impressed by how well that worked

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Tuned in right in time for some gool ol' 'MURICA rah-rah.

 

[TheGameshark]

Lol recite the declaration to distract people away from the vote

 

[squidyj]

Ugh, American Exceptionalism

 

[Jarmel]

I can't wait to hear how people got bullied into submission over this. My god.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Take your grandmother's finest China and throw it into a wood chipper then douse it with lit military grade fuel.

As expected.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Constitution worship is so creepy.

 

[Roberto Larcos]

The people, not the government, are the best stewards of the US's natural resources?

Fucking commie.

 

[MetalGearZed]

This is a full on 'murica speech

 

[santi_yo]

I mean, from the outside I really thought House of Cards was a dark parody of this whole thing. But omfg this shit is real. And it's amazing.

 

[ghostmind]

Both Colorado and Iowa have walked out now.

 

[DorkLord54]

Ken Cuccinelli is the guy who threw his credentials down.

WAT?! Given his views, I thought he'd be riding the Trumpwagon.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

TRUMP COWBOY HAT!

 

[DrForester]

"It is our mission to make sure that ALL Americans live paycheck to paycheck..."

 

[Geg]

Whoa, what did Ken do?

Apparently threw down his credentials, said "I'm not doing this again" and walked off stage on live tv

 

[RumblingRosco]

i'm impressed by how well that worked

Asking an American if they're proud of America or just chanting USA USA USA at us results in our complete loss of anger and hatred - all we can do is give back the appropriate response. It's in our damn DNA I guess, I don't know how else to explain it.

Spoiler

Proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.
USA USA USA

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

"...AND WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THOSE TERRIBLE THINGS."

 

[Brinbe]

He's just saying stupid patriotic garbage. And lots of that shit is the GOP's fault. My god, the party of either stupidity or straight up evil lying. Disgusting party of selfish white people that only seeks to benefit the rich.

 

[Linkyn]

I'm sure nothing will invoke trust among allies like electing Trump.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

This is a full on 'murica speech

Yea. They're trying their damnedest to bring everyone back together but as you can see the convention is muted. You have half cheering etc and half basically silent going fuck this shit.

 

[Arkeband]

Can someone tell me what exactly is going on?

Roll call, right?

Well a significant amount of delegates wanted this to be the case (looked and sounded like at least 40% of the room), but they started cutting mics, chanting USA (lol), and now they have some guy speaking about how proud everyone should be to be an American and is going on about American exceptionalism.

 

[Loxley]

Limits choices? What?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Both Colorado and Iowa have walked out now.

Trump doesn't need those states to win?

 

[Aaronrules380]

"It is our mission to make sure that ALL Americans live paycheck to paycheck..."

Hey, that's not true. All americans besides them and their buddies on the other hand...

 

[Keasar]

I am trying to spot any black, asian, latino or anyone-not-white but I swear this is the fucking hardest Where's Waldo game ever.

 

[Captin Quacker]

there's the it's Obama and dems fault

 

[NullPointer]

"I don't know. Look at them out there! Delegates are walking out! What do we do?"

"Send in the vapid applause line guy."

 

[phisheep]

It's just about embarrassing the party at this point.

Sam Sanders @samsanders
Secretary received requests from 9 states for a roll call vote. But three states didn't reach rule threshold. Says it's insufficient request

So, the petition was presented in time. Three withdrew taking it below the threshold of six, but they didn't count the three that had added on in that time.

That's pretty narrow grounds there.

 

[Futureman]

is there anything notable that has happened? or are things fairly calm in Cleveland?
