Official RNC convention thread

[Anonymous]

Of course, Tim Kaine is only just now getting busy on this issue because polling revealed it’s a huge issue for most Americans.

You are not wrong. Hulk = Comacho.

Except Comacho was not a grifter and did what was best for his country.

democrats calling others dumb when they themselves don’t understand a movie character.

Hannibal Lecter, friends. Hannibal Lecter.

And if you don’t understand that it’s bad that the GOP is racing toward a movie called “Idiocracy,” well…

She was right. That was a 93 minute long crazy man’s incoherent rant. If unfinished sentences could be depicted visually, that’s all the speech would have been. If you just __ AI __ lemme tell you HANNIBAL LECTER great guy great guy __ buchusee…

I wish you guys who think Trump is bright could see your shining eyes adoring the emporer’s beautiful new clothes. I think some of you really see them.

I haven't heard the whole 93 minutes, but what I have heard is definitely his typical rambling, incoherent ranting. How do his supporters rationalize this?

Why would he even bring up Hannibel Lecter again?

Oh so no plan to put people in “camps?”

Which one is it, a rambling plan less guy speaking incorrectly about fictional characters, or Hitler reborn with plans to imprison millions of people on American soil for an unspecified reason?

Tom Homan was Trump’s director of ICE, authored Project 25, and will be Trump’s DHS director. Here’s his plan as delivered in a keynote speech at the RNC the other night.

If you listen to his entire speech, rather than your carefully selected sound bite, he is saying the CARTELS will be wiped off the face of the earth. Which sounds good to me. But do keep peddling misinformation.

But the US has no authority to do that, no? That would be like Canada saying they are going after the Bloods and the Crips.

I refer you to 20:06. Please stop being so literal. No one is declaring war on Mexico. :roll:

Ah ok so it was just another campaign lie. One of hundreds, spoken throughout the RNC convention.

I don't recall anyone saying they were going to "declare war on Mexico." Just you. Please post the exact quote you're referring to.

DP, but how are we going to wipe cartels located in Mexico "off of the earth" without military action in Mexico. Military action the government of Mexico has said they do not want.

Again, I refer you to Tim Kaine’s (D) recent letter:

I also met with the Mexican Consul Generals to talk about how we can strengthen U.S.-Mexico cooperation to combat drug trafficking. In the Senate, I’ve been working hard on this issue and I’m proud that last year significant portions of my bipartisan Disrupt Fentanyl Trafficking Act were signed into law to direct increased federal attention to fentanyl trafficking and involve Mexico as an active partner to disrupt cartel activity in Mexico. I also helped pass a supplemental national security funding package that included the FEND Off Fentanyl Act, bipartisan legislation I cosponsored, to strengthen the Treasury Department’s ability to sanction transnational criminal organizations and others that launder money to facilitate opioid trafficking.

This is an informative deflection, but still a deflection.

No one is suggesting we just do nothing about the Mexican drug cartels. If that's the standard then we can agree there are bipartisan efforts on this issue and support those efforts.

The issue is that Mexico has stated that it does not want US troops on their soil and yet people like Homan keep suggesting it.

Grudging respect for Dubya…at least he got it. Worth a watch. If only he would speak out now.

[Anonymous]

I heard someone say that the last day of the RNC felt like Trump's Residency in Vegas. Just a hype show, no substance.

I am not going to attack Rs, but am sincerely curious to understand the policies that you support. Immigration, I get it. What else are they suggesting that you believe will make the country better? Policies. Not just getting Biden out. That is not a policy. What do they want to overturn?

He suggested no such thing. “Wiping cartels off the face of the earth” is hyperbole that most people understand. There are ways to wipe out cartels that don’t involve war. Most people grasp what he was getting at.

You Republicans are CONSTANTLY having to explain that Trump didn't mean exactly what he said. How do you live with that kind of cognitive dissonance? Why do you want a leader who doesn't say what he means? Who talks in "hyperbole"? Does he not mean he's going to immediately round up 11 million migrants and send them off...somewhere that will accept them? Anyone who deals in logistics knows that is just a ridiculous thing to propose. Is that a hyperbole then?

Can we trust him when he says he's not going to pursue a national abortion ban, or is that also hyperbole that we can disregard, knowing he will in fact pursue it?

When does he speak in hyperbole and when does he say the truth, which is what you always would say was appealing about him? Get your stories straight.

They've been very vocal about it:

They want to get rid of laws against discrimination in all form - against traditionally oppressed communities like Black Americans, against women, and against non-heterosexuals.

in fact, they want to ban LGBTQ people all-together push them back in the closet, make it legal to discriminate them in everything from housing to jobs to marriage, to get rid of anti-conversion "therapy" laws. Guaranteed.

They want to get rid of government regulation. For the life of me I can't understand why Republicans love pollution and deadly food contamination breakouts and safety issues in building planes and cars, but apparently they value corporate profits over people's lives, so they're good living with those consequences of getting rid of regulation.

They want to make sure Christianity dominates American life in the way they think it did before the 1970s, so that everyone including Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, and non-regligiously affilitated people have to be subjected to specifically Christian prayers in schools and the workplace and government spaces.

They think there will be a magical drop in prices just by having Trump back in the White House, never mind that rounding up and deporting 11 million people who are working in so many areas of production is going to make prices soar, as are the tariffs Trump is threatening. Or that corporations are loathe to give up their record-setting profits of the past couple of years by lowering prices.

These are the issues I hear over and over again from Republicans.
