“Trumpapalooza”

That is what the fake GOP convention for the mid terms is being called…..

This past Wednesday was the mid-term convention (why was this political bullshit needed?) and the key note speaker will be Uncle Donny and his humorless babbling speech.

First of all what and why is the ‘convention’ a necessity?

Come on….you know why….Donny cannot pass up a chance to be the center of attention and a canvas for his bullshit.

So why hold one in the first place? Trump has said he wants to recreate some of the spectacle of a presidential convention and, more importantly, get his supporters to turn out even though his name isn’t on the ballot. “Pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot,” he recently told supporters. “Just come and vote.”

Now that we settled that….let’s move on to the theater of the absurd, the convention….

And he did not disappoint me in the least…..after a wealth of BS from MAGA-ites and even one Dem, Fetterman, Donny took the stage to speaking with his adoring minions….as usual it was choked full of manure, promises and out right lies….

President Trump wants Republican voters to picture his name on their November ballots, even though it won’t be there. Speaking in Dallas at the start of a two-day RNC midterm convention, the president urged GOP voters to treat the elections as a direct referendum on him, the Wall Street Journal reports. “I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot,” he said. “Just one more time, because if we lose, you’re going to lose your border. You’re going to lose your tax cuts. You’re going to lose your safety and security. You’re going to lose your wealth.”

Trump is pushing to keep both the House and Senate in GOP hands for the last two years of his term, and he has sounded the “pretend I’m on the ballot” theme on the campaign trail in recent weeks. That strategy comes despite his approval rating hovering in the low-to-mid 30s and warnings from some Republicans that tying the midterms so tightly to him could backfire. The concern: Candidates already strained by high gas prices, the ongoing Iran war, and affordability worries may struggle if voter frustration spills over onto the party brand. Trump, for his part, has insisted that voters are angry at Republicans generally, but not at him personally.

More notable lines from his speech:

  • “If the Republicans win the Senate and House, because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend,” he said. The AP calls the plan, which would cost more than $1 trillion and would require congressional approval, “dubious” and said Trump offered no details of how it would work. Trump also said the money would need to be spent in the US, but similarly offered no details of how that would be enforced.
  • Trump also painted Democrats as extremists, the AP reports. “If we hand America’s future to the radical-left Democrats, our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet,” he said. “Vote Republican and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come.”
  • On the subject of the Iran war, he appeared to acknowledge it has hurt the economy, noting that before the US attacked, he told economists, “I hate to do this to you.” He claimed Iran was “two, maybe three weeks away from having a nuclear weapon” before the attack.

$5000 now there is a lie that will garner votes from idiots.

Now for the Dem that braved the stage (on video) at a MAGA rally….and make no mistake it was a rally nothing else….

Sen. John Fetterman delivered a moment at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday that neither party was expecting. The Pennsylvania Democrat appeared via video on opening night, calling himself a “common-sense Democrat” who rejects “extremes and socialism.” Standing outside a Pennsylvania steel mill, Fetterman promised to work with President Trump and GOP Sen. David McCormick, his Pennsylvania colleague, to “defend the steel way of life,” the New York Times reports. Fetterman already had fallen out with Democrats in his state, the AP notes; he polls better with Republicans. After a Wall Street Journal investigation on his conduct in office ran last week, per Axios, Pennsylvania Rep. Brendan Boyle, a Democrat, posted on X that, “John Fetterman is a disgrace.”

Fetterman is a gutless piece of ….

All in all the night did not disappoint for I was expecting nothing more than Donny thumping his chest like a sex crazed primate and a bunch of adoring yes men that graveled at his feet….and that is just what I got.

And the beat goes on

    1. I think what the President meant to say is that if he gets what he wants with those elections in the House and the Senate every American will save five thousand dollars…not that they will actually get a check which requires approval of congress. — (The impotent distracted and unconcerned congress).

  5. A picture posted on Facebook showed a pretty pitiful “crowd” of attendees … regardless of anything that Trump will brag about. And to think he’s supposed to speak again tonight!!

    From msn.com: Donald Trump will now speak on both nights of his midterm convention as he desperately tries to drum up enthusiasm.

  7. The whole thing is a joke, really. This convention, I mean. No, worse than a joke. It started out as literally more grifting. They were charging $25,000 per person to attend for congress persons, with “premium” level packages as high as $100,000 for tickets. State level politicians were supposed to pay anywhere from $1,000 to as much as $20,000 for “honorary degree” packages. And for just $250,000 you could get your photo taken with some demented elderly man with bad hair they found wandering around lost. Needless to say they were having trouble filling seats. Entire sections of the facility were empty. They were shuffling people around to place them where the cameras could see them so it would look full. Meanwhile they were trying to give tickets away to anyone just to get butts in the seats to make the place look full. It was sad. Very, very sad.

    Fetterman… That situation is just sad. The man was never the same after he had the stroke and there are rumors from his staff that since the first one he’s had several other “incidents” that would indicate he may have had several “mini” strokes that were nerver treated or even reported. While what’s coming out of his mouth is irritating, you need to remember that he is literally suffering from brain damage. The poor bugger belongs in treatment, not in Congress.

    Donny’s claim that he’ll give $5,000 away to everyone if the GOP wins the mid-terms is a flat out felony. Period. There is absolutely no room for discussion here. It was a flat out federal crime. The law is absolutely clear. Here it is:

    “18 U.S. Code § 597 – Expenditures to influence voting: Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

    Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote—

    Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

    There is no way this can be explained away, no way this can be “spun”, no way this can or should be ignored. He committed a federal offense and it should have been grounds for immediate impeachment and removal from office.
