I still can't come to terms with the fact that so many are bamboozled by Trump. It is too overwhelming to fathom.

If anything particularly hilarious happens, I'm going to op it immediately. The last convention was boring but this one? History books.

made up my mind that I wouldn't watch even a minute of that display of idiocy. Between DU, Rachel, Colbert, Thom Hartmann, and Norman Goldman, I know I'll get everything that's worth listening to, or at least elicit some laughs. I won't have to torture myself either

I'm sure it's one of those, has to be $$ involved but considering how many are declining to speak, I suspect he's being paid to show up. They have to be desperate for anyone with name recognition by now.

The GOP convention is really shaping up to be a major trainwreck. Let us pray that this will be the beginning of the end for Trump's campaign.

Me: "FauxSnooze sez RNC sez, they bagged a MAJOR HOLLYWOOD CELEB to speak in Cleveland!"

Him: "Oh, they got Clint? Is he bringing his own chair?"

Me: "Nuh-UH! BIGGAH than Clint!"

Him: "Okay, who?"

Me: "Scott Baio."

Him: >crickets< >puzzled look<

Me: >broad grin<

Him: "Seventies? Eighties? TeeVee?"

Me: "Sitcoms, if I recall rightly."

Him: "So, more of the same."

Me: "Yep!"

amusedly,
Bright

Wow is this the best that they can do? I thought he was dead. A nobody and not even a has been.
Trump must be paying him of course. An out of work actor that needs work will do anything.
