We have narrowed the Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, to be delivered on the final night of the Convention (Thursday), to two locations – The Great Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the White House, Washington, D.C. We will announce the decision soon!

Four years ago I and I alone brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Bigotry, and dedicated to the proposition that rich white men are created better. It’s that German blood. Good stuff.
Now we are engaged in a great lie campaign, testing whether that nation, or any nation so deceived and so prostituted, can long endure me. We are met on a great battle-field of some war or other. We have come to desecrate a portion of that field, as a final insult for those who here gave their lives that I might spit on their graves. It is altogether in character that I should do this.
But, in a larger sense, I can not devastate– I can not contaminate — I can not profane — this ground. The obscene cult of liars who worship me, living as my slaves and dead from COVID parties, have desecrated it, far above my poor power to add or detract. My Cult will little note, nor long remember what those buried in this earth did here, but it can never forget what I do here. It is for them the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which I who poison and disgrace this place have thus far so ignobly advanced. It is for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these dishonored dead we take increased devotion to Me, for which my Cult will give the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead and all the Americans I shall yet kill with Pandemic have died for Me, Me, Me alone — that this nation, under Trump, shall have a last death of freedom — and that domination of the oppressed, by Me, for Me, shall not perish from the earth.

Bravo.

Well done, very clever, very apt.
By the way, I am surprised that more people in more mainstream media are not acting like their hair is on fire (as mine is) given the attempts by T**** to steal the election, especially by hindering the Post Office to deliver the mail. Even with all the election-rigging the R*********** are doing, the POI09poi maneuver has to be the final straw. Why aren’t more people screaming?! Hindering the PO might well be the whole ball game.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Sorry, it should be “the PO maneuver”
I saw some but hurt Catholics arguing against Kamala Harris because she criticized a Trump judicial nominee because he was a member of the male only anti choice Knights of Columbus. Why are male only groups allowed in this day and age much less those who would deny the rights of gay and trans people?
Bad move on her part, but the KoC is a player in bed with Trump.

I love this guy!
I dare you to append the actual transcript of the actual speech to this post, after actually reading it. Anything less is calumny.
Leaving your comment up for sheer entertainment value.
