Today, some random notes from the GOP convention:

There’s a new Republican slogan. “Make America Hate Again.”

Republicans deeply admire Michelle Obama. When her lines are mouthed by a Slovenian swimsuit model.

It’s okay to plagiarize. Joe Biden had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race when he got caught plagiarizing a British politician. Time for a comeback, Joe!

It’s okay to be shrill. Hillary Clinton gets criticized for “shouting” and “being shrill.” Donald Trump’s acceptance speech was shouted and shrill. Oh right, he’s a man. That’s different.

LGBTQ. It’s a hell of a thing when it’s seen as a step forward that the Republican presidential nominee said LGBTQ people shouldn’t be killed. By Islamic radicals, anyway.

Good riddance, Ted Cruz. He is the most despicable person in Americans politics since Joe McCarthy. He even looks like McCarthy. Fondly do we hope and fervently do we pray that being booed off the stage by his fellow Republicans ends his presidential chances.

No more fact-checking. It’ll save time and space for fact-checkers just to issue an alert when Trump says something that IS true.
