Who's Speaking At The RNC: Day 1

Marcus Luttrell (Retired U.S. Navy SEAL)
The first of 19 scheduled RNC speakers who have taken another human being’s life

Mark Geist (Retired U.S. Marine)
Managed to elude Hillary Clinton’s targeted missile attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi

Antonio Sabato Jr. (Actor, Model)
Will be speaking inaudibly in the background of many cable news networks’ analysis of the convention so far

Jeff Sessions (Senator, Alabama)
The longtime lawmaker is particularly terrifying, having supported Trump before he even had to

Rudy Giuliani (Former Mayor, New York City)
His experience presiding over chaotic disasters that had previously been unthinkable renders him uniquely qualified to appear at this year’s RNCs

Isn't Scott Baio also supposed to talk tonight? About... uhh.. something? Maybe about the trials and tribulations of being in charge?

Or maybe he'll continue his ruminations on whether Obama is a Muslim or a Muslim sympathizer.

Holy shit that was sad. Why did they put Bob Dole on tv?

You know southern pride...for someone from Iowa.

I want to go back in time and slap my younger self for once registering as Republican.

I must have been insane.

I don't know how old you are but I can say that it all looked very good in the 90s. The debt was exploding out of control and only one party was talking about it as a problem. Only one party wanted to lower my taxes, only one party seemed to grasp what a dangerous world we lived in. Everybody longed for the economic boom of the Reagan years. Crime was out of control in our cities and only one party really seemed to want to get tough...

Now? It's all upside-down. All of their solutions make no sense to me. Their tax plans would explode the debt to terrifying levels. Every war seems to just exacerbate whatever problem it was intended to solve. The economy did better under Clinton/Obama than under the last two GOP regimes. Prisons are bursting at the seams and the war on drugs has created a permanent underclass...

I don't feel like I left the party, I feel like the party left me. All this culture war bullshit, the racial dog whistles, the gay bashing, the constant cries for war. It's just repulsive to me now. Maybe that shit was always there and I was just too stupid to pick up on it when I was 22.

Did this guy play a game of Civilization as America on the lowest difficulty and mistake that for real history, or something?

I was expecting mayo only.

 

[Get'sMad]

what time is Scott Baio supposed to light a fire under this country tonight?

 

[GaimeGuy]

"All black people please take a seat at the back of the convention hall"

 

[ascii42]

"America started in 4000 BC, just like all the other Civilizations"

But of course it was somehow a Christian nation back then, too.

"...under GOD!" geeze, that damn pledge

 

[JDB]

Pledge of allegiance is still the weirdest thing.

edit: dem shades

 

[GaimeGuy]

i feel like I'm watching a nazi rally out of the 1930s.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Damn, she's a good little singer.

 

[RS4-]

Did they just fucking clap after the pledge of allegiance.

Why is she wearing sunglasses indoors.

 

[many places]

Chat is killing me lol. I feel like this stream would fit in perfectly in a GTA game.

 

[Vire]

Nice rendition.

 

[SecretMoblin]

....you've never seen any political convention?

the GOP/Dem ones are always like this, prayers and anthems and flags and pledges

 

[Imperfected]

"America started in 4000 BC, just like all the other Civilizations"

But of course it was somehow a Christian nation back then, too.

America founded Christianity in 1000 BC after rushing Stonehenge and the Hagia Sophia in Washington. It is known, Khaleesi.

 

[MIMIC]

Damn that girl can sing @_@

 

[Applesauce]

The young girl singing the anthem will probably be the only good thing to happen at this convention.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Did they just fucking clap after the pledge of allegiance.

Why is she wearing sunglasses indoors.

She's blind because her optic nerve never formed. Also she has mild cerebral palsy.

 

[Clydefrog]

Yeah she was great!

 

[Vire]

Where's my rabbi at? I'm offended.

 

[RS4-]

Oh fuck, if true, I'm sorry

I heard republicans clap after dinner too.

 

[NullPointer]

And an inspiring voice. Nice job.

 

[PopeReal]

Tonight an American political party is official endorsing hate.

 

[Touchdown]

welp...it's all downhill from this point.

 

[many places]

Girl can sing! Probably gonna be the only good thing out of this dumpster fire of a convention.

 

[JordanN]

I can't be the only one who think Pence looks like Palpatine right?

Both ran for politics too. Hmm...

Edit: Oh, that's Steve King. But still though.

 

[studyguy]

we back, I expect less fuckery

 

[Prodigal Son]

The night is young

 

[Poker Face]

I'm a catholic and this is fucking weird. Why is a priest talking here?

That's not Pence.

Pence looks like he's wearing a sheet of paper on his head as a wig.

 

[GaimeGuy]

PRAISE JESUS

 

[many places]

I'm a catholic and this is fucking weird. Why is a priest talking here?

GOP gonna GOP. Jesus gotta be in everything.

 

[NullPointer]

Obligations to the poor and the sick, and the alien in our midst?

Surprised they didn't kick him off the stage.

The star of duck dynasty, wew lad, he's definitely not a bigot!

[kevin1025]

Did... did they just say "retire the colors" in a Republican convention?

 

[SecretMoblin]

I'm a catholic and this is fucking weird. Why is a priest talking here?

conventions (and Congress/political functions) usually have a minister of some sort, often but not always Christian, to open with a generic prayer

 

[RPGCrazied]

The star of duck dynasty, wew lad, he's definitely not a bigot!

He has openly talked about the killing of gays if you are talking about Phil Robertson.
