This is the best summary I could come up with:


“For hard-working Americans, November 5th will be our new liberation day,” Trump told a packed ballroom at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at National Harbor in Maryland.

A series of popular hits – Abba’s Dancing Queen, Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire, Sinéad O’Connor’s Nothing Compares 2 U, Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds – was followed by the tinny sound of Justice for All, a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner sung by defendants jailed over their alleged roles in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

As usual, Trump entered to Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA, hugged an American flag and painted an impossibly grim picture of an America overrun by bloodshed, chaos and violent crime.

Speaking days after the death of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Trump hinted at a self-comparison by adding: “I stand before you today not only as your past and hopefully future president but as a proud political dissident.

Trump argued without evidence: “The Stalinist show trials being carried out at Joe Biden’s orders set fire not only to our system of government but to hundreds of years of western legal tradition.

Trump also spent time on his signature issue: he said his “first and most urgent action” as president would be the “sealing of the border, stopping the invasion … send Joe Biden’s illegal aliens back home”.


The original article contains 1,120 words, the summary contains 222 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Reminder:

A vote for Biden is a vote to watch this PoS “billionaire” die in federal custody.

I would definitely want someone as president who I could at least vote and make my voice heard of my criticisms. Withholding your vote or voting for trump is a guarantee that the president will not give a shit about anything I care about. Including the Palestinian genocide.

So on one hand, a vote for Biden, I can at least voice my criticisms to my state and federal representatives. I can be pissed about genocide and try do… literally anything I can. Whether or not it brings any action is another story. On the other hand, trump will fuck absolutely everything. And provide the same, if not more support to genocide.

First thing is him being bankrupted to hell and back. Then he gets to suffer until his sentences are official. And THEN you’ll see him die eventually in federal custody.

A little corner of my conscience has pity for him. Then I remind myself that he’s one of the shittiest human beings alife and that corner is suddenly very vocal of him getting what he deserves…

Remember all the women who suffer needlessly after the end of Roe v Wade and let your conscious be clear.

I would much rather see him stroke out in Georgia state prison while watching the election results come in, giving Biden a second term.

If you think he isn’t planning another coup, you aren’t really thinking.

Is this a platform? It’s the only thing coming close to a platform I’ve heard from the right in ten years.

organizers held a straw poll at the convention for Trump’s running mate: South Dakota governor Kristi Noem tied with tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy

Boy you’d think the gallows set up for Pence would make a motherfucker think twice, but I guess you’d be wrong.
