Green Eagle's Republican Convention Review

 Green Eagle, who is toughened up to this sort of thing, listened to day one of the Republican Convention so you don't have to.


So, what was it like?  If you took the last ten Wingnut Wrapups and read them out loud, you'd have it.  Every Republican lie you ever heard in one gigantic heap.


At least I think I can predict that this turgid crap is not going to swing a single vote.  That's the best thing that can be said about it.

I had a few takeaways from the first night of the Republican trainwreck.

One is that if the night was supposed to be "diversity night," it was an utter failure. There were a handful of token black men speaking. Where were the Asian Americans, Latinos and so on?
How if it was to showcase "diversity" in the GOP, all they could find was three or four black guys lost in a sea of white guys? Where were any women of color (Nikki Haley doesn't count)?

There was a decided lack of GOP luminaries there endorsing the Lyin' King. Where was GW Bush and/or Dick Cheney? People from and directly tied to the Trump family sure didn't cut it.

How far can they go with the "remember how great the economy used to be (until Trump screwed it up)?

The "law and order' shtick juxtaposed with another unarmed black men murdered by police can't be helping their message. It's sure not playing well with black guys like me.

There was the whole fiasco with Natalie Hart, who went on about how super fantastic Twitler is at health care, not mentioning that nutsack pushed getting rid of the Affordable Care Act during a deadly dangerous pandemic. It played for huge laughs in my house when she pulled that bit about It's A Wonderful Life and wanted to imagine what the world would be like without Donald Trump. Also, she was not identified on camera as a Trump campaign advisory board member.

And there's more, but I'll leave it at that.

No doubt there will be more fuel for the fire after tonight.

And the highlight of the evening, the screaming fit from somebody's girlfriend, that is destined to produce one of the great cold opens for Saturday Night Live.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
