Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Macbeth act 5, scene 5

Indeed. Such pessimism here.

No pessimism.  Just relating EVERYTHING that's happening, and commenting on it, unlike that cotton candy thread run by RIV who allows nothing that reflects negatively on Big Orange.  You're welcome to stay.  Some of us have been invited off the TCG thread on the Convention.

Kinda reflects what's happening at the Convention.  You put your blinders on and strong arm those who disagree with you.  A reflection of the tyranny to come.

Your boy will be lucky to make it through this Convention with the nomination.

Interesting.  And, you approve of what is happening?

As far as poetry is concerned, when I think of Trump I can't help but think of Ozymandias.

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".

A scorched earth campaign is leaving scorched earth behind it

Here's a link to the full scene for anyone wanting context: the scene ends with MacBeth learning that Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane, i.e., that the impossible has happened.   :pondering:

Every patriot should be dismayed at this blatant attempt to strong arm previously free Americans.

EVERY patriot.

Your glee is leading to the demise of the Republican party.  And your god is allying with the GOPe, in order to make it happen.

WTG, aligncare.  You have now helped destroy any chance we had to reform our sick party.  Thanks for stabbing conservatism in the heart.....   **nononono*

   Confirmed: there were 11 states, not 9. The RNC/Trump Campaign blatantly lied and violated the convention rules.

I fully admit to being wrong about Fox News.  I can't believe how easily they have sold out.

Now there's not a single news network that even approaches the truth.

I think the deal that bought GOPe support for Trump has exposed itself.

The GOP backs Trump who they know can't win but in return the GOP gets to strip delegates a chance to vote on the rules. Now the RNC can change rules at will with no input from the delegates. Mike lee warned of this during the rules committee fight the other night.

I just went to the "other" convention so-called thread on this forum, but there was only a couple of posts I could read - ALL THE OTHERS ARE ON MY "IGNORE" LIST.  I won't bother going back there, the correct convention news is here on this thread.

Traditionally, the shooting starts when the cameras go dark.

There is some unsavory happenings going on right now.
