The Republican National Convention is underway. Let the onslaught of bullshit begin!

It’s Monday and it’s almost September. Just one more week of this August nightmare to get through.

And for those of us in Texas, we are 50 DAYS away from Early Voting. YEE-FUCKING-HAW.

Political Crap

The Trump Republican National Convention is in full swing (with help from former Apprentice producers, natch) as I type this, and have formally nominated their Grifter God their candidate during their roll call today.

This about sums it up:

Oh, and also, they’re not laying out an actual platform this year. Their platform is literally, “Whatever President Dictator Wants.”

And because he has to absorb all the oxygen, President Spray Tan Smear has already addressed the convention in a long, rambling — calling it a speech would be inaccurate … pack of lies. Let’s call it a collection of ridiculous lies that CNN turned away from halfway through because he was spreading so much disinformation about voting by mail. I’m not going to repeat his bullshit here because NO.

But if you missed today’s spewage, don’t worry. President Nazi Rally plans on addressing the convention every single day. Because OBVIOUSLY he does.

The convention is beginning in the shadow of a few remarkable events:

“What has he read?” Mary Trump asked her aunt.

“No. He doesn’t read,” Barry responded.

…

“Donald is out for Donald, period,” Barry said.

Mary questioned Barry about what he had accomplished on his own.

“I don’t know,” Barry said.

“Nothing,” Mary responded.

“Well he has five bankruptcies,” Barry said. (Trump’s companies filed for six corporate bankruptcies but he has never declared personal bankruptcy.)

“Good point. He did accomplish those all by his self,” Mary said.

“Yes, he did. Yes, he did. You can’t trust him,” Barry said.

Maryanne said on another occasion that her brother kept asking about Fox News. One day, Barry said, the president called her and said, “Did you watch Fox News?”

“No,” Barry said she told the president.

“Why not?” he said.

“I don’t watch much television at all,” Barry said she responded.

“What do you do?” the president asked.

“I read,” Barry replied.

“What do you read?” the president said.

“Books,” Barry said.

The president was incredulous. “You don’t watch Fox?”

Also, last week, Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff to then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, came forward with this damning statement of support for Joe Biden:

Taylor has since given interviews where “he told George Stephanopoulos that Trump wanted to hold off emergency aid to California in 2018, then going through devastating wildfires. The reason: the state’s governor, Jerry Brown, and later Gavin Newsom, ‘did not support him.'”

“As wildfires were burning down houses in the state, the president basically said to us, ‘I don’t care. These people haven’t done enough to deserve it. Cut off the money.’”

And to MSNBC, Taylor revealed that President White Nationalist didn’t want to just buy Greenland, he wanted to try to “trade” it for Puerto Rico because “Puerto Rico was dirty and the people were poor.”

No fucking words.

#Unfit will be available on VOD on September 1, and I, for one, will be watching:

Interesting: Neil Gaiman has revealed that the Sandman adaptation at Netflix is going to be set in the present, and not in the 80s when it was originally published, so as to not be  a “period piece.”

The Haunting of Bly Manor will debut this fall (check down below for some first look photos). Here are five things to know about this season.

So, Jeremy Strong, the actor who plays Kendall on Succession sounds … intense.

Sophie Turner has the Stark throne in her home and I’ve never been more jealous.

The fates of the Love Island couples, in the event you just HAD to know.

Some X-Files fan wrote lyrics to The X-Files‘ theme song and the cast sing it? Poorly? Like REALLY poorly? to raise money. Watch if you dare:

Lori Loughlin is going to jail for two months for the college admissions scandal. Bye, Aunt Becky.

And Joseph DeAngelo, the Golden State Killer, and subject of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, received 26 life sentences without parole. Honestly, the death sentence would be too good for this fucking monster.
