Republican National Convention

[Horseman 1,513]

Odds moved from Biden -135 before the conventions to pick'em now. There isnt any doubt which had the better effect. And it's only going to get worse for Biden in the debates.  Dems guns are empty after Russia, collusion, impeachment, Corona. They couldn't possibly be holding anything back. They are going to loose again. 

[lod001 1,237]

Remember that with polls, democrats always state their intentions while R's and independents voting Trump say they are voting Biden 2 to 1 in order to make it appear the D is going to win easily. Thus Ds stay home because they figure they already have it sewed up. Genius..

You mean America is going to win. All bets are off with these domestic terrorists after Trump gets re elected.

Somebody today asked me about the Hatch Act in regards to Trump having some speeches at the White House.  I'm completely ignorant of this.....whats the deal?

Hatch Act of 1939 - Wikipedia

The Hatch Act of 1939, officially An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law whose main provision prohibits employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the president, vice-president, and certain designated high-level officials[1] from engaging in some forms of political activity.

Am I reading this correctly, it clearly states "except the president and vice president" ?

Thanks Baker Boy,.

So its a non starter argument. 

 1. it explicitly states except the president and 2. We are in a Covid era which is why it was "abnormal" for the President not to be at the actual convention to begin with.

They new it and intentionally lied to the public or they don’t fact check anything because they know the Lefty Bots would never think of checking up on the MSM.

I thought the objection (one of them anyway) was Mike Pompeo the Sec of State giving a speech.

Couldn’t he have just used Secret Service to use force on people to do a fake walk to a church and hold a Bible that probably burned his hand?

That was a couple days ago.  A bunch of libs including Hitlery came out with the same crap about Trump accepting from the WH last night.

I have no problem with the venue.  With whackjob rioters milling around being mostly peaceful, it is much easier to secure the WH compound than some church.

Not sure. Then why not accept there? You aren’t supposed to use taxpayer resources to support your re-election, but ethics aren’t a high priority for this administration

Maybe they do that because they want to keep their jobs and internet access. Woke anti-American flag burning sh*tbags have free speech, nobody harasses or cancels them. TEK or DonS or ed could lose their jobs by being honest when asked a poll question.

Are you telling me that the Secret Service didn't spend millions of dollars of taxpayer money to secure the venue for Obama's second coronation acceptance?  Or any other president running for a second term?

For everything else your TDS compels you to think Trump told his campaign "I don't care if it is illegal, don't use campaign funds, use taxpayer money!  Then go beat a baby seal to death$#@!  Cmon man, be better.

Ethics and following the law? You don’t care about that? 

[Goggins 146]

At first they were mad about Pompeo speaking because he is a cabinet member, and Hatch Act prevents members of executive branch from campaigning. Then they realized in 2012 Obama's Sec of Int, Sec of HHS, Sec of Ag, Sec of Ed, Sec of VA,  and Admin of SBA all spoke at the convention. Six cabinet members.

So they pivoted to "Pompeo spoke while on foreign soil" which has nothing to do with the Hatch Act.

People were already riled up about the Hatch Act so when the facts came out it didn't matter.

As for speaking from the White House, that is a problem they created on their own with COVID hysteria. Gov Cooper of NC can accept responsibility for this one as he is the one that told the RNC they could not hold a convention with large crowds.

Trump took #stayathome to heart so he held the acceptance speech at his home.

The fact is no matter where he gave the speech it would have been protested and called irresponsible/corrupt. Remember 4th of July at Mt Rushmore? Or the Tulsa rally before that? And apparently the NH rally tonight triggered the poster above.

There is no winning with them.

So Trump did what Trump does, went huge and made it as pro America as possible, in front of a thousand people with hardly any masks. And it drove them crazy. Many are saying it will be regarded as one of the greatest acceptance speeches in convention history.

FDR accepted his third nomination from the White House. 6 cabinet members from Obama spoke at the convention for his second term. Clown shoes is right. When will you learn?

Name a President who didn’t? Is he suppose to provide his own security? Where do you drawn the line? So you want the President to change his venue because of rioter and looters. Why do you Liberals want to give these thugs that kind of power.

I couldn’t care less where Trump held his speech.

I tuned in for the lols but it was kinda boring. I was hoping for the unhinged moonbat stuff you get from his rallies but someone wisely told Don to act like a stable adult for an hour. Bit of a letdown.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

So funny when he made fun of Biden for kissing people and hiding in the basement. America doesn’t need a scared kiss ass right now. That’s what Biden is. Doing that interview with Cardi B was a true low point in political history. Trump doing an interview with Ted Nugent wouldn’t be nearly as ridiculous or demeaning. Sad but true. 

[Gladiators 1,904]

Finally got around to listening to Trump’s acceptance speech. Great message and one I hope resonates with the majority of Americans. November 3 will be an easy decision.

But you didN’t say a word when Obama took his extended family (a dozen people) on multimillion dollar vacations. You have the TDS bad. What is Trump doing that every other President hasn’t? Please explain.

Choosing American citizens over illegals and other criminals. Stopping child trafficking. Bringing jobs back from overseas.
