RNC August 2020

 In preparation for tonight’s RNC remember these sage words,

“His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”
This was written about Hitler by the OSS, the predecessor of the CIA.

New York attorney general files legal action against Trump Organization, revealing state investigation into the company’s financial dealings
The New York attorney general is investigating whether President Trump’s company misled lenders and taxing authorities by improperly inflating the value of his assets, according to a court filing on Monday.
The filing from Attorney General Letitia James (D) said that the Trump Organization has declined to hand over some documents that had been subpoenaed, and that the president’s son Eric has refused to be interviewed. James’s inquiry began 18 months ago, but James had not disclosed its focus or scope before Monday.
Eric Trump — now the day-to-day leader of his father’s company — agreed to an interview, and then canceled two days before, according to the filing. He has declined to set another date, citing “rights afforded to every individual under the Constitution” to justify refusing the subpoena for an interview, the attorney general said.

https://twitter.com/MelisaGillett/status/1298039808632270848 This is my issue: For years your party has been largely white men. You’ve had very few minorities or women. You tout fiscal responsibility yet never actually accomplish this. You have embraced the hateful rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones. Trump’s rise is simply 1/

A culmination of what’s been happening for years in your party. You have catered to the NRA and refused to institute any sensible gun laws despite the children who continue to die in school shootings. You’ve catered to big business to the detriment of the middle class and the  2/

You’ve clung to Evangelical values to the exclusion of anyone else.  Under GOP leadership we’ve seen our children sent to war, seen college education costs skyrocket. You have gutted education. You constantly are trying to dismantle Medicaid/Medicare, SS, Food stamps 4/

And any social programs helping the poor. Over the years I’ve watched the GOP enrich themselves (Mitch McConnell) yet do nothing for those citizens they represent. The divide between the haves and have nots is bigger than ever. My question is are things going to change? 5/

Is this just an attempt to stay relevant? Are you willing to change your platform? Are you willing to help the poor? The middle class? I’m skeptical and I can’t help feeling that way. What’s going to change GOP???
