HOO BOY that was quite a day of ENORMOUS AMOUNTS of turgid garbage! And thank Maude it was the final day!
I again did some live-tweeting of the primetime trash parade, including Donald Trump's heinous address, and I've Storified those tweets for anyone who wants to read them.
What can I even say about the grotesque carnival of bigotry that was the Republican convention? It was hideous.
And the reaction to Trump's speech is doing my head in. I mean.
The idea Trump moderated himself is absurd. Again, the perfidy of "civility." He gave a fascistic address but didn't call women pigs! Bravo.

And trust this: If Trump really gave a single shit about the LGBTQ community, he wouldn't have chosen Mike Pence as his running mate.

It's alarming how cavalier media are being about this speech. "Americanism will be our credo." "Law & order." "America first." DO YOUR JOBS.

I swear to Maude if I see "Trump" and "LGBTQ outreach" one more time.
