What a change of pace

 

[RoKKeR]

Well this guy just said he's speaking before Ivanka and Trump

After 10 EDT / 9 CDT

Thanks.

Hot take: Ivanka will be the first Trump in office.

 

[Ominym]

This is the weirdest speech I've ever heard.

 

[tedtropy]

And gosh darn it, people like him.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

More confused cheering.

 

[t-storm]

What language is this guy speaking?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Fox News is airing a pro-transgender commercial right after the speech...I'm impressed.

Was half expecting it to end up being an NRA commercial.

 

[Kid Heart]

I don't know what part I find more unbelievable. The fact he wont smack talk Hillary, or that he has amazing things to say about Trump.

 

[NullPointer]

He needs to have somebody softly playing piano behind him.

 

[Wilsongt]

Find Donald in his children. D:

 

[jett]

All those people lambasting Hilary for supposedly being a Warhawk in waiting when Trump has explicitly said that he wants to go to war is just nuts.

But Trump stands for peace and social unity! MAKE MURICA ONE AGAIN.

These people are insane. And the speakers clearly have no self-respect.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Sounded like Barrack there was channeling Stuart Smiley for a second.

 

[Ferrio]

And gosh darn it, people like him.

How I ended it too.

 

[h1nch]

You guys see how they applauded when he said he was proud to be gay?

Obviously we can put to bed this ridiculous notion that Republicans have any ill-will towards the LGBT community.

 

[thestopsign]

This guy will be easily the best speaker of the whole convention from what I've seen.

 

[echoshifting]

"We don't need to go anywhere else."

This dude has not been paying any attention, he just strolled right in to give his speech

 

[Smiley90]

alright, time for 10/10 Ivanka, then -10/10 Trumpster

 

[metalslimer]

That MSNBC young Texas delegate gave me some hope actually for the GOP....then I remember that platform

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

"I may not agree with this party on many of its planks, such as the pledge to maintain the legality of torturing gay children and to overturn marriage equality, but WHO CARES about pointless culture wars?"

And people wonder why Log Cabin Repubs catch so much shit in the LGBT community.

 

[Kusagari]

This old man who looks like a hit man is somehow doing a better job humanizing Trump than his family.

 

[vypek]

I can't stop thinking about the salad comment. WTF was that about?

 

[Alucrid]

you're a good friend when you're willing to fall flat on your face over and over in front of thousands of people

 

[Officerrob]

This guy will be easily the best speaker of the whole convention from what I've seen.

It's not even close

 

[NullPointer]

Day 1 of our new post-sexual world.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

See they don't zoom into Melanie Trump because she isn't there

 

[Deleted member 80556]

But Trump stands for peace and social unity! MAKE MURICA ONE AGAIN.

These people are insane. And the speakers clearly have no self-respect.

I wonder if we're seeing the deaths of several political careers. I sure hope we are.

 

[Wilsongt]

50mil people aren't watching, lol

Ya not looking forward to people pushing that.

 

[rjinaz]

I'm uncomfortable.

 

[Revolver]

I just realized something. I never hear anything about Trump's mom.

 

[Dan]

Clapping now. Progress? Naw, they're still gonna pass bullshit laws.

They know how it'd look to not clap. They'll forgive him for talking about this stuff because he's "one of the good ones" they can claim for their propaganda purposes.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

He thinks giving women the right to vote ruined democracy. I can never use the words admire with him

I've read some questionable quotes by him, but I'm not aware that he ever said women's voting rights ruined democracy. When did he say that?

the pledge to maintain the legality of torturing gay children

...

What?

 

[mlclmtckr]

I can't stop thinking about the salad comment. WTF was that about?

I believe the fetish is called 'vore'.

 

[Vire]

Need some sweet jazz tunes behind this guy.

 

[Oriel]

As a gay man, i must say: what a fucking piece of shit. Who cares? WHO CARES?

Clearly not you with your half a billion. Fuck off.

I think what he meant was he felt the Republicans are too obsessed with constantly trying to pick fights on issues of LGBT equality in Congress, the Courts, etc when they should (he feels) be focusing on other issues like states rights.

 

[tedtropy]

How I ended it too.

90's SNL kids represent.

 

[Xplatformer]

Rich guy talking about Rich guy running for President.


oK.

 

[jmood88]

I don't think I've liked a single speaker the entire convention but this Tom Barrack guy seems pretty cool.

 

[Rebel Leader]

 

[Veldin]

Here's how I got fucked over by Donald Trump

 

[Emarv]

This guy is by far the best speaker of the Convention so far.

 

[Hubbl3]

Is this a story about a man being conned by the man that's running for president?

 

[MetatronM]

"Let me regale you about the time my good friend Donald conned me."

 

[vypek]

I believe the fetish is called 'vore'.

You....might be right. lol

 

[echoshifting]

Cohen and Silver on Thiel:

A couple of minutes ago, Peter Thiel basically called for an end to the culture wars, describing them as a “distraction.” He got a decent-size ovation here, but don’t large blocs of the GOP feel strongly about many issues — abortion, same-sex marriage, etc. — traditionally part of the culture wars?

It’s basically bullshit, Micah, given the candidate that Thiel is endorsing. Republicans (and Trump) have stood down to some degree on LGBT issues (but not always — see North Carolina, for instance). But “all lives matter,” anti-immigration rhetoric, critiques of political correctness, Trump’s periodic forays into misogynist and racially charged rhetoric — all of that is “culture war” stuff. To a large extent, the left has also leaned into the culture wars also, which is different from the 1980s and 1990s. This whole election is one giant culture war, basically.

 

[Omadahl]

Jesus grandpa let's wrap up story time.

 

[thestopsign]

It's not even close

He's a natural story teller. He doesn't seem completely authentic to me, but he definitely is better than straight politician speak.

 

[Krejlooc]

Where can I stream this online? want to see how badly The Don flubs his speech.

 

[Captin Quacker]

Rich guy talking about Rich guy running for President.


oK.

but trumps the blue collar billionaire

 

[BFIB]

Sweet. Old grandpa stories.
