    I’ve always viewed the VP as…”Hey, if you choose to assassinate me, think twice about it because then this person will be POTUS.”

    For all the Trump hate Democrats were even more terrified of Pence. They were also terrified by Dick Cheney. Kamala Harris is also very undesirable as a VP candidate.

    The amount of photoshopping on Trumps face there is off the charts. As someone who uses it regularly in my work, I can tell you for starters that head was shopped onto the suit.

    ....And about 20 years were removed.

    Gaetz being a jerk and a dude gets in Gartz’s grill. Gaetz walks away thinking, whatever. But of course everything is recorded now.
    :20 sec clip.

    “Rep. Matt Gaetz is keeping his beef with ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy alive and well at the RNC -- taunting his nemesis on the floor ....and getting checked in the same breath.”

    I care MORE that his abilities are such that he could run the country, should the unthinkable happen.

    To your point, Tilly, this year because of his opponent's perceived frailties plus the economy.....Trump is already gaining on those other votes, so things are going in the right direction!

    Matt is still mad Kevin allowed the ethics investigation to proceed into his sleazy behavior. The man can carry a grudge.

    300,000 fentanyl deaths under Biden seems a bit off.

    Products - Vital Statistics Rapid Release - Provisional Drug Overdose Data

    Select drug class as Synthetic opioids, excl. methadone.

    Jan 2024, the number for the preceding 12 months was around 70-73k (70k reported, but incomplete reporting, expected value of 73k).
    Jan 2023, the number for the preceding 12 months was around 75-76k.
    Jan 2022, the number for the preceding 12 months was around 71-72k.

    Maybe if there is a huge jump in the numbers, Biden could get to 300,000. But he is the first president in a long time to see a yearly decline in the numbers, the last decline was 2009-2012. For perspective, Obama's last year there were about 21k deaths, Trump's last year there were about 58k deaths. 2013 the numbers really took off, hopefully last year was the peak and we'll keep the number declining for a while.

    I flipped through the main stream media channels the first night of the convention, and it made me realize that the MSM is sitting there in the room giving commentary on people without letting you hear what their message is. They are basically doing their counter-programming on site while the programming for the convention is going on. And this gives an illusion that they are actually covering the convention. Never has it been more clear how loyal the MSM is to their own party, and how badly they want to sabotage the Republican party. They really don't want you to hear the pitch and the platform for the Republican Party platform. They only want to feed you their counter-programming.

    Watching it straight from Youtube or CSPAN makes you realize what the RNC platform is this cycle. Most of the central planks of the platform are very solid. You can go back and actually watch little snippets of the convention on the CSPAN Youtube page.

    There are several marginal celebrities like this Amber Rose kissing up to Trump. Jake Paul is another one.

    The reason is they are under investigation by the DOJ. In the case of the two above, they are involved in crypto scams with their fans. They are pardon hunting.

    Keep this in mind when random C list celebrities start praising Trump out of nowhere.

    I caught that too. I watched Commie News Network for long enough to realize I wasn't seeing the GOP convention, but rather CommieNN AT the GOP convention.

    Pathetic.

    To be fair, even Fox News did that too. Hannity was interviewing Trump's son, I don't remember which one, while Ted Cruz was giving his speech. He did cut away from his interview for Halley and DeSantis.

    Trump, Jr Sid the exact same thing as the reason they didn’t pick Rubio. He was concerned the “establishment” would like Rubio too much and impeach his father.
