After roll call vote, Trump shows up in person and starts up with his conspiracy bullshit

He's riffing. Off script. Like a bad lounge comic.

--On Edit--

Only very stupid people would find this speech uplifting. Very. Stupid. People.

During their Zoom meeting yesterday, Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt and guests said that the RNC was going to be a complete unhinged shitshow.

One hour in and here we are.

It's pitiful. Blaming the governors for their response to the pandemic. Blasting Biden for listening to scientists. Taking credit for the stock market. Lying about vaccines. Applause at every lie.

They limit Democrats to one-hour of night-time coverage because they were worried that the Republicans would show their ass too much if given two hours and yet here some networks are, showing Trump's dumbass speech already?

I'm sure they will just scratch the hour they have devoted for him tonight since he is already using it up now, right?

Liberal media, my ass.

Everything he says is so 2nd grade, “It was very, very bad”, “We had the best economy in the history of our country”, “I took over a country’s military whose cupboards were bare”, “If you had a governor who actually let us have some people”.

Within a few more minutes, I think he'll start fellating himself.
