1. this anthem rendition just keeps going, worst Disney score ever.

2. Money that Trump the RNC speakers already got talking points against Kamala loaded

   Such a shame that the DNC won’t have an open convention. There’s literally only two people in this country who CANNOT beat Trump – they took away one of them which is good but kept the other.

   One step forward, two steps back

3. That was the most large gentleman to conduct a Colorguard ever.

4. Ingrid Andress sang it better.

5. Has Wolf Blitzer blinked once during the RNC coverage? Feels like bro is at glaring me.

6. Wish my ear was bandaged up to avoid hearing that

7. wtf was that? Are there extra versus to the anthem that no one ever sings? Imagine someone pulling that at the Super Bowl and pissing off all the people who bet under on the anthem length

8. Steve, you’re a grown man, please stop getting your hair cut at GreatClips.

9. Friendly reminder to everyone that The Star Spangled Banner is based on a poem. We usually only sing the first part of the poem. Here is a copy of the full poem.

10. all that pomp and ceremony, and no trump, just a dude talking about his childhood.

11. Did this man just come out of left field to go after Chuck Schumer? I’m fairly centrist but come on, sir. Chuck Schumer will eviscerate you, Steve.

12. “An America First Majority is going to stand with Israel”

    Make it make sense.

13. Sorry for the spam comments, but I’ve tried to watch the RNC to educate myself. They keep bringing up wanting boys in girls sports.

    Is this a hot button issue at current?

14. What an incredible showing of unhinged illogical rhetoric

15. Is there an ETA (Eastern Time) for Trump’s speech? 

    Edit: thank you friends! 9:45-10:00 PM

16. Hulk Hogan and Dana White are the best the RNC has? lol

17. I feel like Biden’s decision to step down was set it stone after the debate but they deliberately waited till after tonight to officially announce it.

18. I know I commented about the last guy’s haircut, but this guy needs to take the same advice.

    Also, why does he sound like Forrest Gump?

19. Most dangerous places on earth:

    Syria

    Yemen

    Ukraine

    A CNN reporter on the floor of a Republican Convention

20. It’s going to be interesting to see how the DNC counters this

21. This guy definitely peaked in high school

22. My name is Dianne Hendrix, do you wanna know how I got these scars?

23. I just want to say that it’s really disturbing that nearly every speaker throughout this convention has said ‘God bless Donald Trump.’

    It’s vaguely disconcerting. It feels like they’re trying to coronate a king or annoint a savior. Eugh.

24. Hulk Hogan is speaking tonight. Linda McMahon is speaking tonight. So a racist and a woman married to a rapist. Great choices!

25. Liz Truss is supposedly speaking today.

    Odds someone like Zelensky speaks at the DNC?

26. Another intentional mispronunciation of Kamala. Drink.

27. holy shit the convention is much better on youtube where nobody is talking over the speakers

    cnn and cbs: panels talk incessantly while someone is clearly on the TV in the back talking

28. This lady’s jokes are worse than actual dad jokes

29. “We need a builder back in the White House!” – Diane Hendricks
    ha ha ha

30. Why does a volunteer janitor and barista get to speak at a convention?

31. “We’re gonna here from Hulk Hogan, Linda McMahon, Kid Rock, and Donald Trump here at WrestleMani-I mean the RNC”-Erin Burnett

32. First time watching a political convention…

    Are they always this cringe? It reminds me of testimonials in church of how people finding God/Jesus have had their lives changed and all things are possible through him… but in this case, God is Trump?

33. I guess Hulk Hogan is going to a primetime speaker tonight and people have been yet again spreading around audio of him being openly racist -[literally saying “I’m a racist to a point” and really just peppering the audio with the n-bomb whenever he can.](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2015/07/hulk-hogan-racist-audio-rant-wwe-breaks-off-relationship-with-wrestling-star-terry-bollea-after-n-word-filled-recording-transcript-released.html)

    >“I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, fucking n*****s,” Hogan said, according to the two publications’ sources. “But then when it comes to nice people and shit, and whatever.”

    The transcript got worse from there.

    “I mean, I’d rather if she was going to fuck some n***** I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n***** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!” Hogan reportedly said. “I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*****.”

    Just lol – kind of makes it harder to believe his [“Real American Beer” brand didn’t fire this brand ambassador because she was black, after Hogan met her in person](https://itrwrestling.com/news/hulk-hogan-allegedly-fired-real-american-beer-brand-ambassador-for-being-black/). He was apparently booed at “Wrestlemania 37” just a few years back.

34. Bah gawd that’s Linda’s music

35. Linda definitely has had some work done. Good lord.

36. Republicans: “Don’t tread on me”

    Republican policies: “Tread on me daddy”

37. Not sure about Vince McMahon’s wife being front and center haha

38. What next Jesse Ventura?

39. Crowd is so loud talking randomly lmao

40. So per Linda, Trump isn’t a creepy POS to his granddaughter. Okay, thanks Linda.

41. The blatant concerted effort from woman speakers telling clearly bullshit humanizing stories about Trump being a warm family man continues…

42. They should have had Vince instead. He would fit in better with these people.

43. Lady, Trump is NOT a jobs creator.

    And he’s sure as fuck isn’t a good man.

44. I liked her better when she was mute and in a wheelchair

45. Those of us in the IWC have an incredibly different view of the Hulkster than GOP shills. The man is as carny and as big of a liar as it gets. The latter list is far too long.

46. My main takeaway from this is that everyone wrong with my life is bidens fault 😂

47. Trump trying to take credit for inflation and also blame Biden for it in the same VT

48. Lowbrow card tonight.

49. Just a quick reminder before he even hits the stage. Aside from being a huge racist, Hulk Hogan is the only celebrity to have a sex tape where he gets winded from taking off his pants and puts in possibly the worst, most mechanical sexual performance of all time.

    I don’t know if that makes him easy to identify with for some of these folks, but God DAMN. It was tragic.
