It's often instructive. It can also be hilarious.

Mostly, they're infuriating.

This one promises to be a convention for the ages, I think.

Why give him what he wants?

Just wait a few hours and the major news networks will show you the nonsense he barfed up.

I don't have the gastric fortitude to stomach as little as a nanosecond of it. But I am interested in knowing how bad a shit-show it is bound to be...

6. Everything depends on the playoff hockey schedule (especially the Flyers)

but if I can watch I really want to - I am curious as to what they can possibly talk about. Chances are it will be wall-to-wall 'Law & Order' and fawning over Trump with a generous amount of bashing and blaming Democrats for...everything.

My curiosity is mostly piqued by the new nickname that Trump will have for Biden since 'Sleepy Joe' and 'China Joe' have fallen flat.

- Smirking MAGA douchebag Nicholas Sandman
- Those St. Louis douchebgas who aimed their guns at protestors
- Narcissistic douchebag Donald Trump Jr.
- Narcissistic douchebag Mike Lindell
- Narcissistic douchebags Diamond & Silk

Anyway you get the idea.

are the law and order party while most of them have been arrested, been indicted, or found guilty of criminal activity. We will hear how everything that has ever, ever happened is Obama’s fault. And on it goes. If the Idiot is going to give a speech each night, we will be tortured by a slurring, monotone monologue. He will tell us how great he is and he is the best ever. We will have to endure Jared, Ivanka, Melanie, Pence, Nikki Hailey. I have a feeling it will not be as smooth and hopeful as the Democratic convention.

I can read about it or see recaps, but I won't allow myself to be tortured in that way by turning the channel to watch. We have to protect our mental as well as physical health in these times. I want the ratings to be miserable as well.
