[Brinbe]

She stole Jack Swagger's catchphrase

 

[NullPointer]

lol Talking about a secretive process ignoring the fuckery currently going on right now by the Republicans. Day 1 and it's been a shit show already.

Its like Bloodborne. You don't dodge roll away from the painful truths that show the falsehood of your words, you dodge right into them and flip the situation around and before anybody know whats going on you've just fisted the giant pig of reality to death.

USA! USA!

 

[RumblingRosco]

I literally am trying to post "REAGAN!" every time someone says Reagan, but the NeoGAF post-limiter is cutting me off.

Just chug a bottle of Smirnoff and you'll be caught up, I think.

 

[Gnome Scat]

REAGEN

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Roland Rayguns is my favourite of president of all the presidents.

 

[niccoolnic]

[Effect]

Iowa

Colorado
DC
North Dakota

Maine

That's actually a pretty diverse list.

 

[ISWThunder]

I didn't know building a wall was such a crucial policy for most Americans, especially compared to expanded health care and global warming initiatives.

It's perfect. We can spend billions to build a wall so that we can keep the imgrints from stealing the benefits that the Republicans dont want anyone to have. It's a double whammy.

 

[paperboywriter]

This is like watching the euros with you guys. Thanks already

 

[His Majesty]

can someone clarify to a European

Ronald Reagan = repûblican Jesus?

 

[hawk2025]

Its like Bloodborne. You don't dodge roll away from the painful truths that show the falsehood of your words, you dodge right into them and flip the situation around and before anybody know whats going on you've just fisted a giant pig to death.

This...


Is oddly on topic.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

he ratted on actors as the union president. dude was horrible

Oh I'm not saying he wasn't horrible. Still had had a few stances as some pointed out that the current republican party would absolutely hate him for.

 

[maquiladora]

The answer is nawauh.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Doing a lot of talking about the platform without actually describing it.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

A quick summation

The NeverTrump people wanted a roll call vote of the Rules Committee. To do so, the voice vote had to fail or they had to get a majority of delegates from 7 states to agree to request a roll call.

The Never Trump people submitted the required signatures in accordance with the rules. They had 9 states on board. The RNC is saying that 3 of the states didn't meet the required majority threshold. There is nothing to back this up whatsoever.

Therefore, the recommendation of the rules committee stands. The rules are adopted. And, by extension, delegates are still bound to vote based on how their states voted on the first ballot.

Ie. There is no way to stop Trump from being the nominee.

Colorado and Iowa have walked out.

Very next speaker goes of on the Democrats for shady back deal political processes.

what a fucking joke.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

can someone clarify to a European

Ronald Reagan = repûblican Jesus?

Yup

 

[Captin Quacker]

like do they not realize no matter how many times they say Regan he won't appear?

 

[Wilsongt]

We will be the people who get rid of your gay marriage, your abortion, same-sex adoption, and non-Whites.

 

[Brinbe]

FOUR DAYS OF THIS. OF EVERYONE REPEATING THE SAME SHIT

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

This reminds me of when I have to finish up an essay at like 2:00am.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Kinda funny that these people won't even say Trumps name. lol

 

[Morat]

can someone clarify to a European

Ronald Reagan = repûblican Jesus?

Yup. Same thing Thatcher is for the Torys over here. A sort of totem.

 

[Toki767]

Dude doesn't even give people time to say Nay lol

 

[paperboywriter]

The gop brought you by Jesus himself.

 

[Media]

Doing a lot of talking about the platform without actually describing it.

Yeah I was noticing that too. "We the people will make America great again! Our platform is the only one that can do it." Yeah but how.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

This shit is absolutely hilarious.

 

[Slacker]

MAry Fallin is the most Republican person I've ever seen. She decided her politics based on ten sentences on a single sheet of paper and completely ignores all evidence around her that's contrary to what she's saying. Trump may need a new VP.

 

[Africanus]

Yeah yeah they all rep Reagan, but we all know the best Republican was Calvin Coolidge.

 

[DorkLord54]

Its like Bloodborne. You don't dodge roll away from the painful truths that show the falsehood of your words, you dodge right into them and flip the situation around and before anybody know whats going on you've just fisted a giant pig to death.

I mean, this convention is driving me mad, so you might be on to something.

 

[Aaronrules380]

LOL they didn't even give people a chance to say nay before making the decision

 

[Xe4]

Not a single nay. Did they just walk out?

 

[impirius]

And the completely batshit 2016 GOP platform is now official!

 

[MetalGearZed]

Let's all pray for Reagan's ghost dick cause its gonna get hammered all week 🙏🙏

 

[Megasoum]

Everytime they mention God in any way during a political speech my skin crawl a bit.

 

[Applesauce]

How do they tally the ayes and nays? A noise-o-meter ?

 

[Officerrob]

Here are the eleven states who backed roll call vote:

Minnesota
Iowa
Washington
Colorado
DC
North Dakota
Alaska
Virginia
Utah
Maine
Wyoming

Something here isn't right, they only needed seven, they reported to have had 9 before three "backed out"

 

[hawk2025]

I feel like I've heard so many dogwhistles the past months that I don't even know what is one anymore.


Foxx talk of "the people" just had a constant silent "white" in there to my ears.

 

[Beartruck]

Didn't even give the nays a second to respond. Wow. They are strong-arming this as hard as possible.

 

[Arkeband]

The ayes have it, because there's suddenly complete silence from those who would have said 'nay'...

Almost as if... they weren't there anymore...

 

[geomon]

The only president mentioned during this entire convention, other than Obama, has been Reagan. No mention of Bush I or II or Nixon or Ford. I wonder why.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

can someone clarify to a European

Ronald Reagan = repûblican Jesus?

Yes.

And Abraham Lincoln still, if only because they can use Lincoln as a shield from claims of racism.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Roland Rayguns is my favourite of president of all the presidents.

You gave me an Iron Eagle flashback.

 

[Kai Dracon]

I mean, this convention is driving me mad, so you might be on to something.

You don't wanna know what Trump looks like once you have 40 Insight.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Not a single nay. Did they just walk out?

You hear it right after they say the decision is made.

 

[Smokey_Run]

They should have let the roll call happen, now you have a bunch of pissed off people looking at alternatives to sabotage them out of spite.
