Democrats in disarray distract from a disastrous Republican convention

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

If you’re looking for entertainment out of the ordinary during this extremely hot summer brought to you courtesy of global climate change, then look no further than the Republican tent revival in Milwaukee or the ongoing Democratic circus of cannibals surrounding President Biden.

The Republican freak show has gathered in Milwaukee this week to canonize and coronate Donald Trump, fresh off his felony conviction and a recent assassination attempt. While there you can purchase your favorite Trump T-shirt, or for just $29.99 you can purchase one with Trump and buddy Jesus smiling together. For little more than that you can buy a mug, a baseball cap, or perhaps some pajamas for your child. For those who like a live WWE event, Trump appeared with an odd-looking square bandage on his ear at the beginning of week, prompting true believers to weep, faint and praise gawd for Trump being saved by “divine intervention.” That T-shirt just cost five dollars more.

Left unasked, unanswered and unspoken is why would gawd intervene on the behalf of Trump while failing to do so for thousands of innocent children killed by gun violence, or rape victims or Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy or Malcolm X, to name a few? Or, paraphrasing a Holocaust survivor, if gawd exists, he owes someone an apology.

The faithful tell you that you have no right to question gawd’s plan, while apparently they have no idea many aren’t questioning gawd’s plan — just their interpretation of it. Meanwhile, if gawd is in Milwaukee this week, we have a subtle reminder; he just owes a little of his hard-earned cash to get his Trump/Jesus paraphernalia.

1. I knew the "Democrats in disarray" shit would start.

Thanks Schiff, Schumer and Pelosi.

Any legacy I thought you had is dissipating quickly.

2. Please tell me this is a Monty Python skit.

Can this really be happening in 2024?

3. There's a bit of a zinger you don't want to miss...

The press can’t handle this mess. We don’t know how to do so. We’re too busy bowing to false equivalency and prostrating ourselves on the altar of access. We interview the MAGA stalwarts and act surprised at their faith (and tears). We are trying to treat the RNC convention as if all is normal, while still reeling from years of being accused of being the “liberal media." In fact, we’re neither liberal nor conservative. We’re greedy. Our owners only want money, however they can bring it into their coffers.

4. We should be sitting back watching the repuke circus self destruct instead of all the infighting, ANOTHER lost
