cover up.

My guess.

The bankers convention has been renowned for decades in Madison as being the reason certain parts of town are clogged with traffic.

Maybe Melania will finally show up.

Grindr will see an uptick in visits from the Milwaukee area

If they bring in 10,000 it will be a lot. They will get delegates and a few party officials from each state.

They have gutted the state rnc committees. They have demoralized the remainder. They have trash talked the city and made it sound like it will be a war zone.

Nobody will want their families along.

Vendors will have no reason to be there. Same for consultants. Who is buying? The only currency is loyalty. Talent and skill mean nothing.

And contributors? They are tapped out. Why throw a gala when they are already on the hook for millions.

Plus who at the rnc has been organizing any of that? They probably haven't even thought about an open bar.

All in.

There will be more press and security than anyone else.

with flags and nazi accoutrement setting up tents and trucks nearby....does that count?

The GOP delegates number less than 2,500.

I refuse to watch and listen to their constant lies, the summaries and highlights will satisfy me.

it's gonna be huge - bigly, and plenty of Pres Biden bashing.

but they still won't understand the irony.

Very representative of the party itself

…expect $195 million of it to be directed and siphoned off by the RNC Felony Defense Fund.

for the rally in Miami, what do expect for this.

They say that Republicans hire prostitutes and Democrats just fool around with each other.

I love being an editor.

and there you are!

I remember that thread too. I expect many others are going to do the same.

With dead batteries.

Something big was going to come to Wisconsin, it was Foxconn, a con of momentous size, brought there by none other than Scott Walker and Donald Trump. Notice that his fingers are in every crooked scheme, here is the News item then.

There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says "Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again.

Anything MAGA touches turns to shit

It's from a Role Playing Game. Don't remember which one
Once you touch something, it withers and dies

Sounds like the entire GOP. They're inept.

about Milwaukee.

He was a guest on the (at the time) very popular TV show "Night Court". He was talking with character Bull Shannon (played by actor Richard Moll).

He said something to the effect of "Where I come from it is like being in the middle of Milwaukee. You could get in a cab and go two hundred miles, and you'll still be in the middle of Milwaukee. You could get in a plane and go two thousand miles and you'd still be in the middle of Milwaukee."

At which point, Bull's head was about to explode thinking about that imagery, and he yelled "STOP!"

I find it quite (ahem) "amusing" that the RNC, with their presumptive nominee, Dumpy the Clown, would be so 'Russia-fied' as to put their convention in this city, of all years. I'm sure Milwaukee is a fine city. However, it is being invaded by the Red Army in a few months. Russia? RNC? Umm.... yes.

The name of the episode was called "World War III" and aired in 1985.

[about Yakov's brother, who doesn't want to go back to the Soviet Union]
Baliff Nostradamus 'Bull' Shannon: Is it really that bad over there?
Yakov Korolenko: You ever been to Milwaukee?
Baliff Nostradamus 'Bull' Shannon: Yeah.
Yakov Korolenko: Close your eyes.
Baliff Nostradamus 'Bull' Shannon: Why?
Yakov Korolenko: Please?
[Bull does]
Yakov Korolenko: When you open your eyes, you're going to be in the middle of Milwaukee. No matter where you go, no matter how far you run, you're still going to be in the middle of Milwaukee. You can get in a cab, and drive two hundred miles in any direction, and you're still going to be in the middle of Milwaukee. You can get in an airplane, and fly two thousand miles, and you're still...
Baliff Nostradamus 'Bull' Shannon: [clutching his head] NO! STOP, STOP IT!
[Bull rushes away]
Yakov Korolenko: [to his brother] Works every time.
