Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Ben Carson: Hillary is a Satanist!

[Xing]

Ben Carson: Theocracy FTW! If you're not religious, f*** you!

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Real talk: what is the partisan breakdown of Satanists?

Wow, I didn't know Hillary pal'd around with Lucifer! #TheMoreYouKnow

Just when you thought sh**t had already hit the fan

I know a Satanist who votes Republican. No joke.

I know a Satanist who votes Republican. No joke.

Given some of the trends in Satanist thought involve rebellion and the like, I'd imagine a strong libertarian bent?

Well, he's strongly pro second amendment. He does have a libertarian bent, but not enough to push him towards Ron Paul or Gary Johnson.

The Bold and the Beautiful actress is pretty intense speaking. She played a crazy character in the 1990s and 2000's.

Here's the scene

Is "OVER THE TOP!" the tagline of this convention?  Legit question; I haven't been watching because I value my IQ.

It's a tradition to show that banner when the nominee crosses 1237 in the roll call. The same banner, with different coloring, was used for Romney.

Your efforts to troll me are as gray and lifeless as your affected persona's sense of humor.

Wasn't tonight supposed to be about the economy and jobs?

Well at least Kimberlin Brown talked about that…but now she isn't anymore.

It instead became about how they want to become a fascist banana republic by locking up their political opponents.

Well, everyone I know who almost went to the other side are usually like that when they survive, so should it really be a surprise you're like that?

AHHH MUSLIM!  GET HIM OUTTAH HERE!

So they are currently showing a nearly empty arena in Network Primetime.

It's pretty fitting. Trump almost never talks about fiscal, monetary, or regulatory policy, and whenever jobs are mentioned its always about how trade deals and immigration steals jobs. That's what this convention seems to be like too, mostly focused on security and nationalism related issues (just a basic "USA USA USA!" will get the crowd riled up like no other).

[Maxwell]

I watched bits and pieces: it was kind of a mess, but Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, and especially Donald Jr gave very strong speeches.

Ben Carson, bless his heart, did better than he did in most of the Republican debates in terms of affect, but in terms of content it was the same nonsense.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I feel ashamed to share the same religion as this guy.

[Seriously?]

Because Donald Trump Jr. didn't talk about Dodd Frank and how Trump created jobs or anything.

As a Muslim, it felt awkward watching Sajid Tarar give that "benediction" it sounded Christian like in it's delivery, he seemed afraid to say anything Islamic at all.
