Watching CNN at the moment actually.
They lost, and if I'm to believe CNN, they described it as "crushed".
From what I read they tried to get it in on a numbers vote and the chairman did it as a voice vote, twice.

Jesus fucking Christ, what a fucking mess of Convention.

Delegate throwing his credentials lanyard on the ground.
That was actually Ken Cuccinelli, former AG of Virginia and world class tool.
Here's their platform by the way.

Is it compatible with women's rights, minorities, gays, muslims, and Windows 10:ninja:?

Game recognize game.
That butthurt of the delgates reminded me of this
And the RNC opens with Duck Dynasty.
I'm watching CNN and they're all over these speakers. How can anyone say they're left-slanted???
Slow pan on old white guy wearing a LIAR Hillary Clinton hat.

The guys speaking right now look like the Smash Mouth frontman after lifting some weights.
A Calvin Klein underwear model is speaking now and he says he has been compelled by Jesus Christ to do this.
"It took eight years for me to gain American citizenship and I don't see what's fucked about that."
Also despite being a legit From-Italy Italian, he sounds and acts like every other Jersey guido I've met.

I'm pretty sure that if I were to go to Fire Island tonight, I would find this exact guy.

Take a shot for every use of "illegals" as a dogwhistle for "brown people".

Wait a minute.
Sean Smith's mother spoke at this? Something Awful must be having a field day.
Sean Smith's mother seems like a delusional person. Yes, not a great thing to say about a mother who lost her son, but she turned all her grief into hate. And then targeted it at the wrong person. Her speech was disgusting.

The SomethingAwful thread is just pissed that the GOP insists on trotting her out constantly and exploiting her grief.

yeah sure okay

Joe The Plubmer 2.0 Though unlike Joe she is who she says she is.
Bob Dole: and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter", you'd say. Now where was I? Oh yeah. So I tied an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time…

Rudy Giuliani is that guy sitting at the counter in a luncheonette talking as loud as possible about "DIS" and "DAT".
@Steven:
"It's rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the United States of America and every place where the footprint of Christianity settled the world. That's all of Western civilization."What the fuck world exists where Eastern Europe has contributed more to world civilization than damn near any populated corner of Asia.
"What I did for New York, Donald Trump will do for America" - Rudy Giuliani, filling every New Yorker's heart with dread.
@Cyan:
"It took eight years for me to gain American citizenship and I don't see what's fucked about that."
Cool, you definitely had an easy exclusive avenue to get in, that allowed you to live the vast majority of those eight years in the US as some various form of proto-citizen with VISAs and Green Cards, meaning you didn't exactly "wait" eight years to get in. And definitely were lucky or privileged in some fashion.Anyway, I guess I just want to call you a wop while you're contributing to the hate toward Mexicans and whoever else is the burning effigy at the Klan rally tonight. So nice to have had the Italians of a century ago take the racism that allows you to enjoy sliding right into the lucky mainstream, and now you throw the racism at the outsiders from the plush big house. So nice. Dago.
Good to see that the rehabilitation of Gaddafi is a joint effort by the right and left.
RIP VileRat, if only all of us could have our deaths used to advance fascism.
Yup, full scale "sneak Iran in with Al-Qaeda and hope no one notices/or I am this dumb irl" going on here. I too am terrified of more attacks in America from the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Iraqi Shia militias and other local nationalist militias that Iran funds that are totally identical to ISIS if you know nothing whatsoever.
I like how Giuliani accused Clinton and Obama of lying their way into a foreign conflict.

Has to go for something since the "whole" citing 9/11 routine got tired ages ago.
I'm still amazed no one's pointed out that Gaddafi launching full scale war on protestors and turning them into rebels, would totally have lead to no instability and anarchy.Unlike Syria where Assad launched full scale war on protestors and turned them into rebels with no (immediate) foreign intervention. Things are quite nice there.
Bob Dole was rudely awakened from his nap.

Because, truly, whose music better represents the modern day GOP than that of a gay British Zoroastrian of Parsi descent?
So why is CNN broadcasting from a phone now?

The phrase of the day is: American Exceptionalism.
To the surprise of no one, the RNC didn't ask Queen about using their song.
Wait so now this guy is saying America shouldn't back down from anything. So what is Libya then???
Are we positive these people haven't been brainwashed? Because I'm really starting to get worried.
Why is Sam the Eagle still speaking?
Literally chanting "lock her up"
"I know American exceptionalism to be real."
Please make it stop.
Oh thank Christ it's over…
Oh my fucking god it keeps going
@Mr.:
Oh thank Christ it's over…
They'd think Christ but they booted him from the party in favor of Rick Scott:ninja:
CNN thinks the guy is sympathetic. Thanks CNN!

We are the champions is an ironic choice when you think on it
edit: a bit late on the uptake there
Meant to post this the other day and forgot.
