La Grande Convention
Link to quote: 2024 RNC, recast by Trump assassination attempt, kicks off Monday - ABC News (go.com)
Today the RNC Convention gets underway at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Official sessions will run from 5-10 PM Central Time. It will run for 4 days ending on Thursday. Trump aids say the recently shot former President will be there to accept the nomination without missing a beat.

The Speakers:
The official list of speakers has yet to be released as of Friday morning, but some names have come out. Here's what we know so far. Dates and times of appearances have yet to be confirmed. At the eleventh-hour Nikki Haley was invited to speak. The future standard bearer of the MAGA movement Ron DeSantis is now on the list in addition to Donald Trump's sons. For the first time a Union President (The Teamsters) will speak at a RNC Convention.
Others who may appear are still a matter of speculation. It honor of Donald Trump there is a rumor that more balloons will be dropped on Thursday than ever before in the Convention's history. (Trump can say he had the most!)
In the news:
In a short Oval Office address last night, Biden condemned the attack on Trump and urged Americans to lower the temperature and reject violence. Nowhere in his address did he take any responsibility for the vile rhetoric he has repeatedly hurled at Donald Trump.
The gunman appears to have acted alone, and his family is cooperating with investigators, according to our illustrious FBI which can't seem to unlock the shooters cell phone yet made a point of telling the media that the shooter had at some point registered as a Republican.
Israel’s military followed a strike targeting the top Hamas military commander in Gaza with a second that exploded near some emergency vehicles.
After the Supreme Court said cities could remove homeless campers, some west coast blue cities are finally taking action. “My hope is that we can clear them all,” London Breed, the Democratic mayor of San Francisco, said.

Good morning.
I think it is time to honor a hero who died trying to protect his family:
Corey Comperatore, 50, was a firefighter and a father of two daughters, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Sunday. He was from Sarver, Pennsylvania.
Comperatore "died a hero" when he "dove on his family" to protect them from the gunfire during the rally, his wife said, according to Shapiro.
Man killed at Trump rally 'died a hero,' Pennsylvania governor says (msn.com)
I guarantee there is a progressive somewhere saying he deserved it for being at a trump rally, deplorable.
We don't have to look far.
gee, why would god choose to take the life of a church going first responder over that of a blasphemous sinner and political parasite?
It is hard to understand Le Grande Plan.
apparently he only speaks to millionaires that work 1 day a week and are adept at fleecing gullible suckers...
nah, he's got his hands full being all omnipotent and omnipresent ...
he created me in his image and gave me freewill, that's good enough...
That's a sweet thing to say.

Nice job but they aren't close to what you claim. You edited the article. Your comment should go away.
nice try...
How will the magats carry out 1 through 17 much less the rest?????
There is no 18, 19, or 20 in the article................
We both know it would on his echo chambers.
there isn't now. maybe you should ask the author what happened before accusing people...
Why isn't the former 'president' convicted felon and rapist out visiting these families?
Instead it is playing golf.

In a turn of events, Nikki Haley WILL be at the convention and deliver a speech.
It turns out that the hated one is very magnanimous.
Magnanimous? LOL
If Trump loses at least he still has a job according to Joe.
nice piece of satire
I love the sudden change in tone coming from Biden.
What will they do now?
They will have a hard time evolving now.
The Biden campaign was never going to defend its radical record, the idea was to demonize Trump. That was the whole campaign.
What will they do now.
I guess she doesn't want to lose her meal ticket.
I just thought of something - I don't recall ever hearing him actually laugh.
Donald's passions -- 'his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration'
It's all bullshit though - ingenuity (how is he clever, original or inventive - the meaning of the word), love of music????and inspiration - inspiration of what????????????
She missed.
Damn.
No bullet struck him. It was a piece of the teleprompter.
Who wrote that? I don't think she barely understands English much less could write that farce
Any proof at all?
That's hilarious!! The former 'president' and convicted rapist - his human side(?) - generous and caring nature????????

And magnanimous..LOL!
"We have always been...."

Byron York: "It's a huge day in politics and MSNBC has pulled 'Morning Joe' off the air. They're apparently worried the MJ crew might say something 'inappropriate' about the Trump assassination attempt."
‘Morning Joe’ pulled from air Monday because of Trump shooting | CNN Business
This is a special week for another reason.
It is like having unsupervised children running loose.
I'll have more on that later.
So true! Maga cultists need babysitters
they wanted to get up to 20 planks come hell or high water
Jack Smiths prosecution ruled unconstitutional, the little bitches on the left are having a bad week.
Amazing, isn't it?
The totally unbroken record of Trump attempting to get by, not on the facts of the case, but on "technicalities" continues.
John
Are you suggesting that the "Constitution" (on which this ruling is based) is a technicality?
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate , to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
Overview of the Appointments Clause | U.S. Constitution Annotated | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute (cornell.edu)
Does "the Constitution" mean that Trump did not do what he is charged in the indictment as doing?
Of course not. The case is dismissed, not because Trump is innocent, but on a technicality.
Dismissed is dismissed
Maybe the prosecutors should learn the law before bringing charges and this wouldn't happen.
Mafia bosses get off on technicalities, innocent people dont.
EXACTLY!
So you're saying the Constitution is just a technicality? [deleted]
'on which this ruling was based'
No the maga cult and their leader is. And Cannon. And ginni thomas and alito and his wife.
I didn't realize technicalities were reserved for mafia bosses. Maybe they should bring charges because he is not a mafia boss and he got off on a technicality.
And anyone that doesn't drink the Biden coolaid
Maybe everyone convicted by a special prosecutor (Independent Counsel) for the last 45 plus years will have their convictions overturned and legal fees reimbursed.
Let the technicalities continue.
Clinton never lied to Congress, Flynn never lied to the FBI Hunter cannot be sentenced on gun charges or harassed about repaid taxes.
Justic Thomas strikes again.
Lol. Where do you come up with this?
Bought and paid for ginni, I mean clarence.
It isn't just a suggestion with leftists.
The Constitution and laws only apply to those they say; and how they say.
Or maybe every last Democrat let off the hook by a special prosecutor should be charged to the full extent of the law?
The law either applies equally to every or no one.
Not just to who and how leftists say.
John
The case was dismissed because in accordance with the appointments clause it was illegally brought to court, the case was dismissed "without prejudice" which means that if the AG has the wherewithal (the balls) to actually charge Trump then he can bring the case to a federal court.
Tessy
'on which this ruling was based
That means "the case was dismissed because of the appointments clause
I guess sentencing Hunter will not happen on the gun charges and the tax case won't be able to move forward.
How many other special prosecutors cases will be overturned?
I guess Hunter will have to appeal the prosecution.
There is a distinct difference between the two, David Weiss is a US attorney who was confirmed by the Senate, Jack Smith is a private citizen who has never been investigated or confirmed by any body of Congress.
Sounds like a technicality to me. /S
But Weiss wasn't approved by Congress as a "Special Prosecutor/ Independent Counsel" with an open checkbook by Congress either and Jack Smith was in the past an Assistant US atty and officer of the Hague Court. Not sure private citizen applies since his income once again is from the US Treasury.
If Harry Reid were still alive , he might be saying , " it didn't work did it ".
but being dead is just a "technicality ".
Good old Harry Reid.
He was damn lucky Mitt Romney didn't sue his ass for slander; but Romney was a good little Establishment Republican and didn't want to make waves. He went meekly and quietly back into the fold after losing the election.
Reid is a prime example of the Democrat party doing whatever it takes- so long as it works. Ethics and legality be damned.
Never confirmed by the Senate, so he was never vetted. that is the point.
Technically they can say anything they want on the floor of Congress without repercussions. Slander is a tool of tools like Reid

This just in......J. D. Vance is Trump's pick for VP.
VP picks don’t really matter, but Vance isn’t going to help trump at all.
Trumo could have picked a doorknob and it would be more articulate than Harris so it’s a really low bar to clear but Vance isn’t going to bring in new voters.
Haley would have. Was hoping since she finally got invited to speak that Trump might surprise everyone.
Yeah, she would have been a much better choice. But that's one of the perks of winning the nomination, you get to choose your own VP candidate and Trump wanted another yes man.
Those 17 platform planks seem good and no mention of banning abortion
