A good time will be had by all. 

Indeed.

LOL

Come on now. No one can beat the headliners. The two that pointed guns at protesters. That is top ticket.

Seriously though. How bad is it when they and some entitled kid that sued the media are considered their headline events.

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. 

It turns out that most of the speakers will be relations or lackeys of the president*.  Eric Trump's bimbo wife is a keynote speaker one of the nights. 

I read that all of kids kids and his wife will speak.

The trump show on steroids.

The psychology here is fascinating. 

The Prophet is making himself and his family into carnaval sideshows... and requiring his TrumpTrueBelievers^TM to applaud.

This seems to be his ordinary behavior recently: doing unnecessary, gratuitous nutzoidiness... and requiring adoration from his followers.

He apparently needs to have his ego caressed. 

The ones that blow my mind are the ones that willingly want to caress it.

I mean, how sick and depraved does one have to be...

It all makes perfect sense... once you realize that Trumpism is not a political movement, but rather a religious sect. Donald Trump is The Prophet Who Speaks The Word.

This is matter of Faith, not politics. TrumpTrueBelievers'^TM fervor is religious, not political.

An adept best proves their devotion by denying the evidence of their own eyes in favor of The Word of The Prophet. 

Think about the state of mind in Jonestown... What was "truth", there?

There were Republicans who spoke for Biden - are any Democrats speaking for Trump?  Maybe Netanyahu?

Maybe The Amazing Trumps will do some plate juggling or sword swallowing or even high wire acrobatics with no net, of course.  A great time will be had by all.

Give Trump a bucket of KFC and he can the dreaded Man Eating Chicken.

And the actual line up of speakers is: 

Trump campaign announces speakers for Republican convention

President Donald Trump’s campaign on Sunday announced its roster of speakers for this week’s Republican National Convention, a four-day event that will conclude with the president accepting the nomination on Thursday night from the White House.

The list of more than 70 peopleincludes a mix of Washington politicians, White House and campaign staff, the president’s family members and others. Jason Miller, a Trump campaign adviser, said America would see “a very optimistic and upbeat convention” from Trump and his Republican, independent and Democratic allies.

Monday’s lineup will feature Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the chamber’s lone Black Republican, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Jim Jordan of Ohio, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who chairs the Trump Victory Committee’s finance committee.

Other notable names include Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, a Black Democrat who supports the president; Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk; Andrew Pollack, whose daughter was killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla.; and Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who pointed guns at protesters earlier this summer from the steps of their mansion.

On Tuesday, first lady Melania Trump will speak, as well as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, albeit reportedly from Israel; Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky; Gov. Kim Reynolds of Iowa; former Attorney General Pam Bondi of Florida; and Attorneys General Jeanette Nuñez of Florida and Daniel Cameron of Kentucky.

The president’s children, Eric and Tiffany Trump, are also slated to speak that night, in addition to Nicholas Sandmann, the Covington Catholic High School student who sued CNN and The Washington Post for defamation, and Mary Ann Mendoza, whose son, Sgt. Brandon Mendoza, was killed by an undocumented immigrant in a drunken driving collision in 2014.

Asked about Pompeo’s unusual setup, addressing a political convention while on official foreign travel, McDaniel wouldn’t speak to that but told CBS’ Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation” that the RNC and Trump campaign were paying for all of their events, including the programming and staging.

Vice President Mike Pence, second lady Karen Pence and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway will speak on Wednesday night, which will also feature Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Joni Ernst of Iowa; Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota; and Reps. Dan Crenshaw of Texas and Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin of New York. 

Trump campaign adviser Lara Trump, who is married to the president’s son Eric Trump, and Madison Cawthorn, the North Carolina candidate who defeated the White House’s pick in a GOP primary for chief of staff Mark Meadows’ congressional seat, will also speak that night.

The final night will include speeches by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey (who switched from the Democratic Party in December), White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump, White House aide Ja’Ron Smith and Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney.

Thursday’s lineup also includes UFC President Dana White; evangelist Franklin Graham; Alice Johnson, a criminal justice reform advocate who was granted clemency in 2018; and, of course, the president himself, who will accept the nomination at the White House instead of Charlotte, N.C., or Jacksonville, Fla., where Republicans had planned to hold their convention in person.

Some delegates are still gathering in Charlotte. McDaniel, however, insisted that everyone was tested before leaving for the city and that testing was being conducted on site, adding that Republicans were taking action to allow people to live their lives while they hold a convention in a healthy, safe way.

Of the president’s speech on Thursday night at the White House, McDaniel said that “it is being paid for by the Republican National Committee and the campaign, not the taxpayers.”

I've been saying for years that life imitates art, and have pointed out a number of times where it happened.  What I fantasize, and would LOVE to see, would be a happening similar to Al Pacino's speech to the jury in the trial of a judge represented by him, played by John Forsythe, in the movie And Justice for All.

While Pacino was supposed to represent and defend the judge, in his speech to the jury he ended up by screaming to the jury that the judge was guilty as hell and should be sent to prison.

You must read through his speech to the jury....

Your Honor, Mr. Foreman, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my name is Arthur Kirkland, and I am the defense counsel for the defendant, Judge Henry T. Fleming. Now, that man over there he’s the prosecuting attorney, and he couldn’t be happier today. He is a happy man today, because today he’s going after a judge, and if he gets him, if he gets him, he’s going to be a star. He’s going to have his name in this month’s Law Review . Centerfold. Lawyer of the Month. Now, in order to win this case, he needs you, naturally. You’re all he’s got, believe me. So he’s counting on tapping that emotion in you that says “Let’s get somebody in power. Let’s get a judge.” However, these proceedings are not about that. These proceedings are here to see that justice is done. And justice, as any reasonable person will tell you, is the finding of the truth. And what is the truth today? One truth, a tragic one, is that that girl has been beaten and raped. Another truth is that the prosecution doesn’t have a witness, does not have one piece of substantiating evidence other than the testimony of the victim herself. Another truth is that my client voluntarily, and the prosecution is well aware of this fact, voluntarily took a lie detector test and told the truth.

Sorry, Your Honor. Let’s get back to justice. What is justice? What is the intention of justice? The intention of justice is to see that the guilty people are punished and the innocent are freed. Simple, isn’t it? Only it’s not that simple. However, it is the defense counsel’s duty to protect the rights of the individual, as it is the prosecution’s duty to uphold and defend the laws of the State. Justice for all. Only we have a problem here. And you know what it is? Both sides want to win. We want to win. We want to win regardless of the truth. And we want to win regardless of justice. Regardless of who’s guilty or innocent. Winning is everything! That man there wants a win so badly today, it means so much to him, he is so carried away with the prospect of winning, the idea, that he forgot something absolutely essential to today’s proceeding. He forgot his case. He forgot to bring it. I don’t know, I don’t see it, do you? The prosecution’s case. He’s got to have one. Not a witness, not one piece of substantiating evidence other than the testimony of the victim herself. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a case to end all cases. I have witnesses for my client, I have character references, testimonials that are backed up from here to Washington DC!

The one thing that bothered me, the one thing that stayed in my mind and I couldn’t get rid of it, that haunted me was “why?” Why would she lie? What was her motive for lying? If my client is innocent, she’s Lying. Why? Was it blackmail? No. Was it jealousy? No. Yesterday, I found out why. She doesn’t have a motive. You know why? Because she’s not lying. And ladies and gentlemen of the Jury, the prosecution is not going to get that man today. No! Because I’m going to get him! My client, the Honorable Henry T. Fleming, should go right to fucking jail! The son of a bitch is guilty!

That man is guilty! That man there, that man. That man is a slime! He is a slime! If he’s allowed to go free, something really wrong is going on here!

You’re out of order! You’re out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They’re out of order! That man, that sick, crazy depraved man raped and beat that woman there, and he’d like to do it again! He told me so! It’s just a show! It’s a show! It’s “Let’s Make a Deal!” Let’s make a deal! Hey, Frank, you want to make a deal? I got an insane judge who likes to beat the shit out of women!

Now if only one of the speakers at the RNC would finish his speech by saying "And if you are stupid enough to vote for this man, this liar, this incompetent asshole, you belong in an insane asylum."

If only....
