'RNC Video Showing Rioters In “Biden’s America” Is Actually Spain'.

He's going to be so furious about those viewing numbers 🤭
🤣🤣🤣

Looks like the crowds outside the WH are gathering.

They plan to make some noise.

I can't believe how close the chairs were sat together, and how many were there. This is unheard of at the WH surely.

One person who will be mightily hacked off this morning. Elton John. I doubt very very much he would've given permission for his 'I'm Still Standing Song' to be played at this

I think Dan Rather says all that needs to be said on it.

@DanRather
As a fact checker, where do you begin? I am being serious. I really don’t know where one starts.

Couldn't be arsed with Trump and the RNC last night. However as Trump boasts about his TV knowledge and experience you would think he and his hotshot (ex-Apprentice) producers would know that TV 101 says don't wear solid green on screen!

Melania Trump’s ‘green screen’ dress got exactly the treatment it deserved – 7 perfectly tailored favourites.

Not only did they play Elton John, apparently after the speech they played Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'. Cohen will be spinning in his grave - there is NO way he would have endorsed that bag of shit.

Loving the green dress mock ups!

I know I shouldn't be, but still shocked how POTUS is constantly allowed to break every supposed rule in the book. Why is this allowed to continue?

"Ignore what he tweets" - no, Ivanka. Then we'd be accused of being under the influence of whatever media source he considers to have done him wrong. We are listening to what HE says and yes it does matter. 🤨

@Acrossthepond I hadn't heard about that COVID legislation as it pertains to employers and sick claims. Do you have a easy link?

That is basically : we're prepared to bribe satan (ie appeal to voters' worst and most basic selfish instincts) to get what we want.

I hope employers who should know better (Bezos) hold their nerve.

O god, did that poor silly woman really wear something in near-fluorescent lime green and think it would look good?

Nobody looks good in monocolour fluorescents.

I thought she was meant to have been a model? They generally know what suits them and what doesn't, and that really doesn't.

Are we sure those pictures weren't 'enhanced'? The ones I saw looked as though they had a filter on them.

OMG - I have seen it properly. So many "no words", in 2020.

seems to suggest that the pictures were not enhanced; if the dress was enhanced but Trump's shadow and the shadows of the pleats were not it was very skilfully done indeed.

I wonder what UV light would do to it.

The dress she wore the night before was fairly horrendous colour as well, and clashed with the stars and stripes.

Why is she choosing these neon things? Is it some sort of statement?

I don't think she cares. Do you?

More seriously, maybe it's a tactic to divert media and social media attention. They know her dress will draw attention away from the speeches.

I actually like that neon green dress, although not for wearing it to that (and not with the red belt). It’s an entertainment red carpet dress.

I hate the pink dress.

I think you’re on to something Lweji with the diverting media/SM tactic. Although surely someone would have thought of it looking like a green screen?!

Maybe someone did and it was deliberate sabotage.

She is now The Dayglo First Lady.

OMG they get their stinky hands on Cohen?

Next level trolling:

DandyCad, I would like that dress on someone with a skin-tone that can handle it: on someone black it would be striking rather than strident.

'For four years, Donald Trump has been asking us to believe the unbelievable, to accept the unthinkable, to replace harsh realities with simple fantasies. On Thursday night, using the White House as a gaudy backdrop, the President made his case to the American people for four more years. His speech capping the Republican National Convention was long, acerbic, untruthful, and surprisingly muted in comparison to the grandeur of the setting, which no chief executive before him has dared to appropriate in such a partisan way. “We will make America greater than ever before,” he promised.'
