Meanwhile, committees in the House and Senate announced they will be launching their own investigations. House Republicans already scheduled a hearing for next Monday, where Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is expected to testify.

The Republican National Committee kick​ed off its convention in Milwaukee​ Monday afternoon. The first order of business was to formally nominate the former president as the GOP presidential candidate. Trump also announced his much-teased Vice President pick as J.D. Vance.

  1. Trying to desperately recast the Left, methinks. His hand went to his ear, but this guy is a TV fuck, and the real numbers are not being reflected in the polls.

    Guy Fawkes, anybody? They made a bogeyman of the Left and we have resolutely not gone Republican enough for them. That is, gone to guns.

    If it is a play it shows desperation. This kind of thing, as president, would lead to people with unnaturally colored hair, for instance, getting beaten in the street.

    Bit of a heavy card.

  2. Made sure my sons were both at home. /s

  3. but what about his shoes?

  4. They reap what they sow.

  5. witness claiming someone in the crowd was killed, and there where 2 shooters.
    have heard no reporting that confirms this.

    i don’t envy law enforcement having to deal with the fact that every single eye witness is bat shit crazy…
