Republican National Convention #MAGAthread - Make America ______ Again - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Bradyns;50735429]Veterans are definitely one thing that Obama has neglected, yet promised to hold on a pedestal. The VA in the US is a mess.[/QUOTE] Both parties do this every election.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;50735436]Both parties do this every election.[/QUOTE] True, but Obama said reform in '07 and there's little if any done since - hell, there have been reports handed down how abysmal the conditions are getting treatment through the VA.

[QUOTE=milktree;50735422]sometimes i wonder if these veterans dont want to be mentioned by political sleezebags[/QUOTE] Depends on which veteran you ask.

My experience with VA has been disgusting, my half sister died from mal practice and neglect. One of the doctors told my dad to go home and stop crying because she was fine. Drove her miles to the next public hospital in fargo and she was dead the next day.

Is there another livestream of this event on youtube by a general broadcasting company? I'd like to compare and contrast the comments to the livestream in the op.

Kinda curious European here, when Republicans say they want to take care of veterans and help them get back on their feet, do they not realize that they are advocating for a socialist welfare system?

He's going off the rails.

This sounds like one of those coach speeches at the end of a US sports film.

Benghazi time

oh shit here it comes

that speech wasn't bad. you could tell he meant what he was saying.

Heart wrenching.

This is actually a little scary.

This is the first time I ever watched a republican national convention. Was it always like this?

Republicans have always been like this since Reagan Also the grieving mother was pretty sad, both for her loss and the GOP just trying to use her to push an agenda

[QUOTE=Saxon;50735527]Republicans have always been like this since Reagan[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say republicans, just people willing to go to these events. [editline]3[/editline] Going to ask my imaginary secretary to have a fact checked transcript of this Benghazi video by tomorrow.

"What do you think about the fact Kaisch isn't here?" "If I was beaten very, very badly I wouldn't have shown up either." -Trump Like I know you guys hate him but he's funny as shit.

That Benghazi video made me so mad. I don't mind using tragedy for policy making (small kids shot up at school = find a way to reduce gun violence?) but taking a mother's loss and falsely pinning it in Clinton despite a lack of real evidence? It's terrible. I'm loving how commentators immediately saw the video for what it was.

stream comments during these segments are pretty disgusting

[QUOTE=milktree;50735590]as stupid as this might be, stream comments during these segments are pretty disgusting[/QUOTE] Anonymity + crowd = Total fucktard

here comes the wall

That border patrol story is fucking brutal
