  1. 0% chance of policy talk

    100% chance of lying and white grievance 

  2. Does anyone know when we’re gonna see Trump? I’m morbidly curious about how fucked his ear looks. Though I suppose it’ll be bandaged still.

  3. I love how Biden and Democrats paused all ads and fundraising after Trump gets shot and literally the next day he’s out playing golf LOL. Democrats are so weak I swear to god. Are they ever going to actually fight like they want (need) to win?

  4. Gonna be wild when JFK Jr. walks out to a live performance by Tupac and we all claw frantically at our eyes as reality slowly decoheres around us.

  5. VP will surely be leaked in a few hours, until then get your F5 keys ready

  6. Just like Trump’s SOTU(s), expect his “call for unity” to basically imply “unify behind me or else”. This will not be the redemption arc the media wants to believe it could be.

  7. Fellow conservatives, do not fooled by the GOP’s woke church agenda. It’s a chemtrail psy-op. Trump = Antichrist!!! DoNot bE FooLED. Trump=666.

    Q says NO to Trump.

  8. Anyone know who is actually speaking tonight? I have seen a list of speakers, and tonight’s topic is supposedly the economy, but I can’t find who’s up when.

  9. How long till some unhinged lesser celebrity goes off script and tells us the REAL plans for the next four years?

  10. White fear, grievance and victimhood. That’s what Republicans have been peddling in for over 50 years. I do not want to hear.

    Bottom line, Republican policies do not help the majority of Americans yet the majority of white voters keep voting for them.

  11. Pretty wild that a former President was almost killed two days ago and it already feels like the news cycle has moved on. Just goes to show that literally no one fucking cared.

  12. Please for the love of all that is holy, I want to see Trump openly go against his own previous statement and *embrace* Project 2025. It will be such a shitshow for the GOP if he does.

  13. Can’t wait for America to finally bring back traditional family values like beating your wife and going to bed angry.

  14. Just heard a report that they basically didn’t change any of the speeches up since Saturday. Unity my ass lol

  15. I got rid of Roe v Wade, if you’re against that kinda thing. Also, I’m not directly responsible for getting rid of Roe v Wade!

  16. I hope Trump pulls a Willy Wonka and comes out hobbling with a cane, then tosses the cane aside and does a summersault

  17. It’s Vance. A motorcade just picked him up at his home.

  18. I wonder what the banner/ticker will say this time… will it say “We are all domestic terrorists” again?

  19. What a coincidence that the shooting took place right before the RNC

  20. Trump hasn’t made a public appearance since the shooting. We’re not sure how bad his ear and scalp were injured.

    Do you think he comes on stage tonight with a minimal dressing, to look tough?

    Or will the whole side of his head be bandaged, to milk all the public sympathy he can?

  21. I’m not willing to be unified with the ideals this fuck stands for. Dont gaslight us by calling for unity then changing none of the hate platform

  22. I thought JD Vance was seen as one of the “potty-trained” republicans? Why would he accept a VP role with Trump?

  23. What I love most about the GOP is their commitment to the rule of law, the inclusion of Americans of all creeds and identities, and unwavering protection of the environment and the less fortunate.
