(205,507 posts)I've seen TV ads for that and it's very creepy. I looked up this guy since I'd never heard of him and he's apparently been in daytime soaps, but he also comes from overseas and that's one of Trump's big issues. This RNC convention sounds even worse than any of Trump's reality shows!

Seeing that she's dead.
The Second Stone
(2,900 posts)I do think she was a taxidermy project, so Melissa might bring her along for background.
And lighten up there too, Francis. That was also a joke. If she didn't want to be the but of disgusting jokes, she shouldn't have made her living making disgusting jokes.

(61,695 posts)The guys have just started bootcamp, and one of the street-tough guys starts warning his barrack-mates to leave him alone, not touch his stuff, not touch him. The sarge tells him, "Lighten up, Francis."

(2,419 posts)really? But it's going to be a classy Benghazi party. The best Benghazi party you ever saw. Believe me, anybody who's anybody is going to be there. And you thought the "purple heart" band-aids were in bad taste? You ain't seen nuthin' yet!
You've got to be kidding me. This is a new low for the Republicans. Not that they haven't been already but I would think that seismometers will be able to detect Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower rolling over in their graves at the same time.

These people are definitely losing their grip.
Ilsa
(61,695 posts)Have their delegates riot inside the convention?
Bad taste. These are classless clowns at the rnc.

(81,322 posts)Hell, they need the exposure! All 157 of 'em (or however many there are by now). Evidently one of their older daughters, Jessa, or Jecka, or Jeckyl, or Jockette, or Junkette, or Jabberwocky, or whatever-the-hell-as-long-as-it-starts-with-"J" needs some press attention, too, especially since she and her new husband have started breeding as well. I read in one of the gossip magazines that her spin-off show is tanking, too.
Ilsa
(61,695 posts)Duggar cheated on his wife. It was on the cover, so it must be true, right? I guess he got tired of that 1980s hairdo.

RussBLib
(9,020 posts)you have to sit thru speaker after speaker telling lies and distortions about themselves and the Democrats. After awhile that kind of talk just grates on the nerves because you know it's mostly garbage meant to arouse the base.

I didn't see Carter, but it wouldn't surprise me if he were speaking too.

(1,681 posts)Palin is trying to make bail for one of her kids, so she's out.
So yeah, the big stars are getting ready to come out to support the enraged alpha male orangutan as it beats it's chest for all to see. Should be a real hoot.
