Republican Political Circus Kicks Off in Cleveland by Stephen Lendman Political conventions showcase party standard bearers, portray unity, and create the illusion of a political process serving everyone equitably - democratic governance at its best when nonexistent. Cleveland is Trump’s show, presumptive GOP nominee, to become official when delegates formally choose him as party standard bearer. Convention proceedings more resemble reality TV than democracy in action. A rogue’s gallery of speakers include right-wing politicians, military figures, and Trump family members, culminating with the nominee’s acceptance speech. Daily themes include making America safe again, making it work again, making it first again and making it one again - the usual type pomp and circumstance signifying nothing, circus proceedings, little more, best ignored. Then repeated when Democrats get their turn next week - a double dose of hypocrisy at its worst, political posturing concealing America’s dark side, an imperial agenda threatening humanity, concealed from public view in Cleveland and Philadelphia. The most ruthless rogue state in world history intends dueling deceptive dog and pony show extravaganzas - exercises in hyperbole, duplicity, hypocrisy and coverup of the highest of high crimes. Supporting either duopoly power candidate endorses pure evil. In November, vote independent or stay home. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago. He can be reached at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.

I'll never forget the day I realized conventions and prolly party politics were a farce. 'Twas the Dummacrat one in 1968 and all manner of Liberellas were packing the place, bobbing their signs up and down for the TC cameras. The news interviewed a plump woman gaily bobbing a large portrait of Hubert Humphrey. "I painted him in blue because it's an intellectual color", she beamed. BLEEEAAGGGHHHHHHHHH......... My associate Dean Allen is in Cleveland for the week -- says he's on the front of USA Today today. _____________________________________________________________ “We build but to tear down.

If Donald Trump is the enemy, why do bill kristol and the republican elitists want him gone?

I will stay home. I have no confidence that Trump will not turn to the dark side like Rand Paul did. Therefore, likely it makes little difference who gets elected president.
I don't remember saying he was the enemy, but if so it's very simple: anybody to the right of Bob Dole they consider total anathema and paint as Hitler. Trump's thanks for getting in bed with the Jues all these years is to be kicked and beaten by them. Rivero often says DT seems to get his knowledge of the world from the mass media, and that's my impression too. Whatever far-right rhetoric we're hearing is probably coaching by his advisers. I pity him if he really doesn't understand how things are. I pity him! Rivero was just tracing the other day how this very well may have been how it was with JFK...... his father was too busy maneuvering to advance his kids to teach them about Jew power. My people disliked JFK as president, the great irony being that on the conspiracy issues they should have been focusing on, he was way beyond them. People don't want to believe anybody's conspiring -- just ruins everything for a babbitt. Any pre-1964 president makes looks stellar compared to the last 4 we've had :- o _____________________________________________________________ “We build but to tear down.

========================================= Because they inclined to prioritize America's economic interests and family values (e.g., man-woman marriage), and maintaining a secure border first, none of them would even be considered today. The only alternative right now is Hillary Clinton. U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
