[blackjedii]

Between the party infighting, fundraising issues and a presumptive nominee with a history of inciting both violence and vigorous opposition, the Republican National Convention is set to be a giant flaming pile of trash

although I was this close to sharing an article about that one businessman who tried to jack up the price of AIDs medicine now trying to buy up all the rare Magic the Gathering cards in some bastardly scheme but... I figured that was a little tooo nerdy

lol, can't blame him

Kinda hoping he's telling the truth about the dumpster fires and puts a bunch of dumpster fire pics on Twitter during the convention. I don't know enough about him to know whether he's actually planning to do it or whether he'll just be elsewhere.

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake (R) ― another vocal Trump critic ― said that he wouldn’t attend because “I’ve got to mow my lawn.”

I can only try to imagine the "brilliant" excuses Republicans across the country are coming up with for not attending the GOP shit show convention...

"I have to wash my hair/do my nails/take out the trash/defrost the refrigerator/clean the oven/scoop out the cat litter box."

"I have to take my dog/cat/gerbil/bearded dragon/black widow spider to the vet for his/her/its yearly checkup."

"My good suit/dress is going to be at the cleaners that week."

"I'll be attending my next door neighbor's niece's kindergarten teacher's son's wedding/bar mitzvah/junior high school graduation."

"I have to testify at my uncle's DUI hearing."

"Megabus doesn't go to Cleveland. Oh wait, it does? Well, I'll have to get back to you on that."

And so on and so forth.
