Welcome to Thunderdome

Trump gets his panties in a twist because Kasich is blowing him off.

Bruce Vilanche pissed he didn't get the VP pick.

Nobody does party unity better than Drumpf.

Christie added: “Everyone has a right to their own conscience and their own beliefs. But the fact of the matter is, as I said before, if you’re a Republican and you have voted for Republican nominees for president and you’re not working for Donald Trump, you’re working for Hillary. And that’s the bottom line.”

One day I'm going to find out exactly what they're smoking and drinking over there.

Soap opera actor Antonio Sabato Jr., actor Scott Baio and “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson are also scheduled to speak.

That shit has to be potent.

This is going to be a shit show and a half.

I'm kinda interested now.

Holy crap.

The “tell” isn’t the plagiarized part; it’s the Rick Roll: … It’s like they signed their work.

Melania Trump's RNC RICKROLL

They have to find out who this was and burn him at the stake publicly, otherwise it's incompetence at the highest level.

Trump rips off speech. No, the other Trump.

“There’s no cribbing of Michelle Obama’s speech. These were common words and values that she cares about, her family, things like that,” Manafort said on CNN’s “New Day” Tuesday morning. “She was speaking in front of 35 million people last night, she knew that, to think that she would be cribbing Michelle Obama’s words is crazy.”

Maybe. But on the flip side:

That structure looks awfully similar. I wonder what the TFIDF score is.

To be fair, there's a link out there shows Obama's 2008 speech (Barrack's) was ripped off from someone else's earlier speech.

Both sides do it.

Plus, the same lies get told every election cycle using the same speechwriters. How many times can they write the same shit without repeating themselves?

Yeah, but those dudes aren't claiming to be "not a politician."

WTF does that have to do with anything? Is it the same as a jackass with zero experience running for the presidency claiming an end to business as usual? How'd that turn out?


Here's Barry stealing.


Breit Bart is biased as fuck, but here' ... speeches.

If you want to paint yourself as the "D.C. outsider candidate" then ripping off the speeches of people in the D.C. establishment isn't helping.

So first we're bashing for stealing speeches. Once that's shown to be the M.O. for both parties, we're now altering our criticism so it still fits?

I'm not being judgy, preachy, or anything else when I say this, but I think it's well established that Trump could, literally, cure cancer and you'd criticize it.

I never claimed it's exclusive to one side. I merely pointed out that Trump stealing the words from another politician seems to completely undermine his "I'm not a career politician" schtick. Why is it so hard to make that connection? He's been saying he'll be a different sort of prez. Well shit, when he's literally taking words out of the mouth of the current administration...

Trump is a cancer.

Oh stop pretending. You might not like Hillary, but you hate Trump with the red hot intensity of a thousand suns and you, literally, can't stop talking about it. It's like your own personal jihad. If he got knocked off and the FBI asked me I'd point them to you. Your hatred knows no bounds, but in Trump's case you've taken it to a whole new level. Honestly, it doesn't seem justified at all. Nothing he's said or done would seem to be a hot button issue for you. That's why I (and others) have been curious as to the seeds of your hatred for him.

you, literally, can't stop talking about it.

When a mark like this gives you comedy gold on a daily basis, it's your civic duty to mock him to the full extent of your ability and his stupidity. If he'd stop saying shit that would get most people kicked off a short bus, I might relent. The only reason I'm not tearing into Hillary with equal fervor is because her words are more measured. The brain behind them is just as diseased, but it occasionally realizes that keeping quiet is in its best interests.

I could parlay that into some comfy side revenue for a few years. Be my guest. Although I think I'd volunteer for jury duty at his assassin's trial.

Bullshit. His insane rhetoric regarding Muslims and Mexicans could actually affect people I know, depending how much follow through he decides to have on the off chance the American voters elect to commit seppuku this November. He spouts shit that would sound puerile at a high school Model UN club.

Those words are generic enough, that who cares.

If that were true you'd be all over Hillary. The most hated and corrupt candidate in history and she gets lucky enough to run against a clown.

One's a joke with no chance to win. The other is going to be your next president and might truly be the most evil person to ever hold the office. Which do you think is really the bigger problem?

My bad. She knows how to pander, so she's awesome. Got it.

It's ALL rhetoric. It's a concern for people who don't understand laws. The president doesn't have the power to start interviewing Muslims and asking them a single question, WHICH THEY WON'T ANSWER HONESTLY IF HE DID, to determine if they should stay or go.

As for Mexicans, he's not building any wall, and Mexico certainly isn't going to pay for it. Anyone with an IQ about 15 knows that, and should know better than to be worried about it. However, if you're worried about Mexican friends who are here illegally...tell them to apply for citizenship.

If that were true you'd be all over Hillary. The most hated and corrupt candidate in history and she gets lucky enough to run against a clown.

"I'd rather be lucky than good." As you pointed out, she's running against someone who's more hated.

The other is going to be your next president and might truly be the most evil person to ever hold the office.

Most evil ever? Not a chance. Certainly a pathetic excuse for a human being, let alone a leader.

She knows how to pander, so she's awesome. Got it.

Politics IS pandering. Not being able to do that is like fucking up getting the first wooden sword in "Legend of Zelda."

It's a concern for people who don't understand laws.

If laws meant shit in the country anymore...

I'm concerned because the prez has executive privs and powers that don't need Congress's stamp of approval. I'd rather that not be in the hands of Mrs. Bill because she's crazy. But she seems to be the normal, standard brand of political crazy which has been en vogue for decades. Trump brings a whole new strain of crazy to the table which gives me less faith in his abilities than Jimmy fucking Carter.

I think the whole, "They did it first" is making the Republicans look stupid. Make the statement that you told your speech writers that it's fine to look to other speeches for inspiration, but be more careful to reword things in the future and move on. They keep breathing new life into this and look even more amateurish with things like the Twilight Sparkle defense.

I may be hating on Drumpf seemingly more because he's electing Hillary himself goddamn near personally. Maybe it should be directed at the cadre of cunts he duped into thinking that he'd be LESS hated than her and that he had a chance of winning, or that he gave two fucks about what they wanted or their party in general. He went for the easiest car to jack. The previous owners left the doors open, the key in the ignition, a full tank of gas, and a sign that said "If you want it, come and fucking take it," hanging on the hood.

Dense Donnie the Dimwit is earning more votes for Mrs. Bill than all her campaign ads and stops combined. For that reason alone, he deserves extra special scorn.

He def should have taken one for the team and quit, who does he think he is being the most popular candidate among the american people?
