Not just a bisexual englishman, a man born in Zanzibar, with the given name of Farukh Bulsara, to a Gujarati family who practices Zoroastrian Parsi religion. I believe even one of those facts is enough to make any Trump supporter's head explode.
Says a person that supports a platform based on appealing to the dumbest people in America. You are blind if you don't see what the DNC are trying to do, along with the mainstream media...like this guy
+Jammy Sizlo Nope, they did not receive any royalties. Queen has said they do not support having their music used for political agendas. They asked Trump to stop the use of their music and will seek legal action if he continues
This is democracy you knob. He was voted in by the people. That Star Wars quote really doesn't apply here. Democracy is obstructed in our rigged system and Bernie was victim to that. Trump also, except he won by such large numbers, it didn't matter.
+Joe Dufour Mexican is both a race and a nationality. Any of us could become Mexican if we moved to Mexico, nationally not racially. Sammy Davis Jr. was Jewish, religiously but not ethnically or racially.
the thing that is so annoying in trump is saying he is the best and he is a success all the time which he isn´t. his insecurity is incredible and i can´t believe a major party in the most powerful country in the planet could put such a clown in a suit to run for office
too much faith has been put in democracy and the american public..just because its the most powerful country does not mean that its people are the most educated or the most wise
+smcg I think there should be a test where you have to match the policies to the candidates, that way we know you at least know what crazy shit you're voting for.
I'M A REPUBLIC WHO LOVES TRUMP QUEEN'S MUSIC BELONG TO ALL OF US NOW, NOT JUST THE NARROW GROUP THEY BELIEVE IN HOW FRICKING RIDICULOUS---WE ALL GREW UP ON QUEEN STUPID
samwiseshanti I'm of the personal belief that we're just a game of SIMs to him. Someone had to be put in a pool with no ladders eventually just to spice things up.
yes because trump a guy who is relatively anti war and also the only candidate in a long time who wants to restore ties with russia is worse then a guy who started 2 major wars in the middle east yep seems legit russia is the biggest military threat in the world to USA in a war except for maybe china and that's assuming nukes aren't used because russia has enough to end the world (tho so does USA) the US has a big edge against any country in a war so they would most likely win no matter who they fought but russia while losing could still kill millions of americans before there loss they are a big military threat and improving relations with them is a very good thing for world peace
+declan summond anti war, I hate the guy and I know more of his rhetoric than you. He doesn't just want to bomb Syrians and Iraqi militants he wants to go after their families
It's a shame Trump didn't keep his original surname: Drumpf. That way the logo would have read 'DP', which is an apt metaphor of what Americans are going through right now in this election....
Sorry to inform you but you are a few centuries late for that joke.. Trump's surname was never Drumpf. Matter of factly, there hasnt been a Drumpf in the family for about 500 years.. yea.. late.
Too bad Freddie isn't alive to sue him. I hope his estate does. BTW whatever happened to the NY and CA States Atty's investigation of Trump's fraud and deceit of students of Trump University? Nothing about that on the news for a long time...
+Patrick Barrett Apparently you missed the joke. The RNC are a bunch of gay haters, and they are cheering a song sung by one of the most famous gay people that lived.
There was actually a story today about how Nigel thinks Trump is going a _little_ too far. When even Nigel Farage thinks you have too big a mouth, you need to take note. +NIsh Sinha -- Actually, Boris did. He got stabbed in the back by Michael Gove. Gove himself was in the running for PM up to that point, but his treatment of Boris so disgusted his party that they took him out too. Nigel wasn't in the running for PM; that requires a parliamentary majority and there was no way UKIP was ever going to get one.
+Amethyst Rose to be fair his comment was in response to heckling from his competition and i wouldn't say that any other man, who wasn't just out to pretend he was the second coming, wouldn't defend his manhood. i thought his comment was very funny.
+jason mccormick Nahhhh support em. They have the rights to the song they made. They weren't notified/paid when their song would be used at a convention watched by millions of poeple. Fuck Trump. It's sad another lawsuit won't do shit because rules dont apply to greasy fucks..
+stephen gentry I think mike pence would agree with you. You shouldn't have to let someone use your art, like a song or a wedding cake or whatever, to promote something that you don't support.
+Immanuel Kunt The difference is, a wedding cake isn't considered art so it isn't protected the same way as music is - music is protected by Intellectual Property Rights!
Haaa that threshold was crossed decades ago when Reagan was running for office and was slightly fortified when Schwarzenegger was elected Governor of California. Movie actors as successful politicians. Actors,,, Who better to play a part for money. Actors who can put on many faces when they need to. Actors who can say things convincingly even if they themselves do not believe it.
Oh and now we got Trump, yet another actor who is trying so hard to sabotage his campaign but his supporters are so stupid and willingly blind that they won't let him go. Like Trump said; "I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and I won't lose any voters." Except of course if the person he shot was a Trumpling. Trump is only running for attention.He has no solid plan.
C'mon Nelson, even you know that's not true. If you compare the right and left political spectrums in the US you can clearly see how anti-gay the right is.
NelsonBass What planet are you living on? Republicans are typically racist and homophobic. I lost 2 girlfriends because their racist republican parents didn't want them dating a Hispanic and I was fired for being Hispanic. Yes it's illegal but companies still do it and no I can't sue because they fabricated a story that I hit another employee. My manager and supervisor were far right wing republicans and one employee demanded they terminate me because he didn't like working with Hispanics. They complied because he threatened to quit. So in my eyes, Republicans are poison.
don't get out much do you? enforced separation of bathrooms. Bondi sticking her fat nose in everyone's private life at the expense of Florida residents who don't give a damn. She got her ass handed to her for that misstep.
Considering that US is a corporation at this point and is run by corporations ... it needs a CEO more than anything. But hey, you prob want a psycho career politician who was caught lying about some very serious crimes repeatedly, because thats better right? Riiiiight, logic: because it works.
First the govt isnt really a corporation (if it was maybe we wouldnt be in such debt) it is RUN by them and electing a CEO will only further their involvement and further degrade the democratic system. That being said, I agree 100% with you on Hillary she is a liar and it would be more of the same under her. Its a fucked if you fucked if you dont scenario, the next 5 years are going to be interesting.
+BigChiefWiggles V The problem with big corporations is that the goal becomes maximizing shareholder's profits rather than the quality of the product (VW being a perfect recent example). When you have a president who's going to run the country like a big corporation, money goes to the top, where it is invested, but not spent, robbing the economy of what really feeds it, and degrading the quality of life for the rest of the population. If Trump does become president, it will only serve as proof that the country needs a president like Trump, because things are going to have to get a lot worse before anyone learns a damn thing and finally decides to do something about it. Let's all just hope it's not too late by then. Judging by the Superbowl halftime show that is the RNC, it's getting pretty damn close.
jordanzish I look at the whole picture, the Bush years were a disaster, the Obama years have been a disaster, combined it has been a period of complete shit for the country and it came from both parties. Today we are looking at a choice between Trump and Hillary, in the best case Hillary will just be "more of the same", thats the best case mind you, the worst isnt even something I like to think about, Trump, well, he is a wild card here, one thing I know for sure though, he is not likely to be "more of the same". The guy has an ego and I believe it will drive him to be remembered as a great president, will he be a success is another question, but, considering the alternative...
Indeed, she just took words like "values", "people", "dignity" and "respect" which were, for the first time ever, used, when Michele was actually proud to be american for the first time in her 40 years. You are weak, very weak.
But "We are the Champions" is by a British band? Or is the punchline Queen? I still want to know how much Trump paid for permission to use it in this travesty.
He didn't ask for permission to use the song. Brian Mays, one of the remaining surviving members of Queen, is looking at taking some form of legal action as Donald has bee warned once already
fambaa Hilary is just a career politician with Republican in the 1980s values. The conspiracy theorists and the Bernie supporters will tell you all about the scandals and fraud but she's just a plain old lying ambitious politician. Nothing scary about her.
We'll be happy to welcome you. We'll take more taxes than you're used to, but you and everyone here will have health care, a place to live, a guaranteed income, and peace.
ottawaandy I don't mind paying taxes. Republicans do. That's why they push for tax breaks for themselves. I've never minded that and your healthcare system is way better than ours. I'm terminally ill and living with my disease is costing me a fortune. I have a while left to live, but damn, I'm in deep debt because of it. And don't worry. I sold my pistol to pay for an MRI. I don't have a gun.
Along with Europa, I would also like to move to canada to live off the taxpayers. Do I need to have a job or can I get on welfare easily like they do in Sweden/Germany, etc?
Unfortunately, (A) I'm not sure they can - if they actually went through and bought a license or other right to use it, it would be through an agent, not Queen itself (themselves?) and (B) how much would they sue for? Likely not enough for him to care.
Oh my God I think I need oxygen over here the Colorado delegates walked out at 4:20 p.m. I'm just dying I'm just dying over here help me. And theTump/Pence at the end.... Roflmao
if that was even true trump would still be a better president cuz he cares about american soldiers and wouldnt leave them to be butchered at an embassy like hillary and trump wouldnt lie about emils and steal from the white house or defend planned parenthood savagely dissmembering babies for gain you are a dumbass
+thepapermakery explain to me what outarageous shit trump says dont just say what all liberals say with no proof use ur brain and i can assure you the only. reason trump is so controversial is because america needs a wake call and trump is just that. a wake up call america needs a president with balls.. who doesnt care about the feelings of criminals and values life and is concerned about national security and would protect the embassy in banghazi instead of ignoring it hillary cant even pass a fuckin background check not to mention the fact that shes messing with our 2nd ammendment rights so hillary is not a patriot and if anybody needs to be a patriot its the president
Is he doing live shows throughout the entirety of the convention? Like...all week? Cuz that's awesome if he is! Actually, is the RNC an all-week thing? I fear my ignorance of politics is showing....
Yeah, it's an all-week thing. Conventions not only choose the presidential nominee but also the party platform for the next election cycle, which can take a lot of time and debate since delegates actually vote on it. Plus there's a lot of pomp and circumstance to fill in slow periods.
I dunno, the song was good, the lighting was good, but he was kinda awkward, if it were me I would milk that shit for all it was worth, I won the fucking nomination bitches!
Question from a non-american here: WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING THIS CRAP? You are electing a POLITICIAN not a fucking ROCKSTAR. You know, politicians, the guys you make laws and represent you. All this should be about FACTS and what they want to achive during the time they are in charge. All this stupid retarded show for what? Politics is about the laws they make, not how much you "like" the guy making them.
+Jürgen Hans Because American democracy at this point is a literal song and dance at the circus show. China might as well be less corrupted than America
May I, kick a little something for the GOP (yeah) and, steal a few speeches as (yeah!) I breeze, through Except Cruz and the Mormon the party's still jumpin cause Ron Reagan ain't around.
Doesn't Ted Nuggent have any decent music that they can use as opposed to using Queen whose music and lifestyle is the complete opposite of what Conservatives stand for.....have they not listened to the lyrics of Bohemian rhapsody 😂😂😂
+Immanuel Kunt An other word for conservative is traditionalist and libertarians aren't traditional/conservative on many issues. Like legalizing weed, abortion, etc. most of those social issues, they are rather progressive! But I guess your point is, that many conservatives don't find themself in the RNC, like many progressive don't see the DNC as progressive (or even liberal)!
Stephen Colbert is the single greatest thing to happen to television since Star Trek (in an alternate universe where Star Trek had no Kirk Vs Lizard-in-the-Dessert-mountains)
"With so much drama in the RNC, it's not that hard being the C-O-L-B-E-R-T, but I, somehow this way keep coming with funny ass shit like every single day..."
That would've been so awesome if Willie Ames from "Charles In Charge" were to interrupt Scott Baio's speech at the RNC stuttering "- Charles...! Charles...! Charles...!
The optics on that entrance were spectacular. And then he said "Thank you, thank you. We're going to to win big, we're going to win so big. Thank You." ROFL
Not just a bisexual englishman, a man born in Zanzibar, with the given name of Farukh Bulsara, to a Gujarati family who practices Zoroastrian Parsi religion. I believe even one of those facts is enough to make any Trump supporter's head explode.
Trump supporters don't register what a fact even is.
If you believe in something hard enough, there's always a chance it's real!
Weak, very weak indeed.
Queen wins again
Says a person that supports a platform based on appealing to the dumbest people in America. You are blind if you don't see what the DNC are trying to do, along with the mainstream media...like this guy
RNC what a joke. Someone should tell them Queen is everything they hate.
Wonder if they had permission to use "We are the Champions"??????
stormwatcher59 They didn't. I fact they had been told not to use their music.
***** lol that is chump change to queen. I think the whole gay thing would piss them off more.
+Jammy Sizlo Nope, they did not receive any royalties. Queen has said they do not support having their music used for political agendas. They asked Trump to stop the use of their music and will seek legal action if he continues
And now the band is probably going to pursue legal action against Trump and the RNC.
This is how democracy ends.
With thunderous applause.
I understood that reference...
The first Galactic Empire!
This is democracy you knob. He was voted in by the people. That Star Wars quote really doesn't apply here. Democracy is obstructed in our rigged system and Bernie was victim to that. Trump also, except he won by such large numbers, it didn't matter.
It's just a quote, man.
And so is, "I'm a rooster illusion." Just as apt ;)
didn't Queen ban the GOP from using their songs. I hope they sue. and Stephen, Freddy Mercury was from Zanzibar
Doesn't really matter *where* he is from for this punchline.
...i never knew all that.. thanks...

LOL.
It's a shame Trump didn't keep his original surname: Drumpf.
That way the logo would have read 'DP', which is an apt metaphor of what Americans are going through right now in this election....
Danny Phantom?
No,they were thinking of Da Pope.

Happy? :)
Hold on... Okay... Yes. NASA has just confirmed that Trump's ego is now officially visible from space.
Not surprising...

You're a little late, Josh

Queen asked the Trump Campaign not to use their song, but they ignored their request.
Are you fucking serious
#JillNotHill
Not only was Freddy Mercury a bisexual Englishman, he was born in Zanzibar and was half Indian. I'm sure Donald Trump would love him.
I thought Mercury's parents were Parsis, so that'd make him ethnically Persian, right?
how dare he use that song.
It will make sense in November
Rekd
Too bad Freddie isn't alive to sue him. I hope his estate does. BTW whatever happened to the NY and CA States Atty's investigation of Trump's fraud and deceit of students of Trump University? Nothing about that on the news for a long time...
+Patrick Barrett Apparently you missed the joke. The RNC are a bunch of gay haters, and they are cheering a song sung by one of the most famous gay people that lived.
It is pretty offensive.
She did give an impressive speech, cuz it's Michelle Obama's
When Trump comes to know that the song was sung by a bisexual Indian guy, either of which can send him jumping off of his seat.
Trump was actually fighting for gay rights before it was cool.

Queen, could you please revoke the RNC's right to play your songs at their convention. Thank you very much.
Forcing people to vote for a certain person -- how American!
What are you talking about?
It means even he realized what a farce Trump is that his logical side is compelling him to not make a mistake, hence the "forcing".
yeah why not just get rid of freedom of speech because it disagrees with you.
how American! And to hell with Thomas Paine for FORCING people to be against the British Taxes
Colorado delegates being forced to vote for Trump.
But "We are the Champions" is by a British band? Or is the punchline Queen? I still want to know how much Trump paid for permission to use it in this travesty.
He was referring to the lead singer Freddie Mercury.
Yeah, I had to look it up, but I was pretty sure it wasn't American in any way. But Queen? Really?
He didn't ask for permission to use the song. Brian Mays, one of the remaining surviving members of Queen, is looking at taking some form of legal action as Donald has bee warned once already
AsianEmoDisturbed
Rules and laws and permissions are for peasants and Clintons!
Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar and his parents where both Parsi and lived in India
It wasn't later in his life that he lived in the UK
YES! Please keep jabbing CBS and the FCC Steven. You are the best.
how long until Trump gets slapped with a lawsuit for using "champions" without permission?
I get a crazy supervillain vibe from Trump when I saw his entrance. And like all supervillains, right now I'm kinda afraid he'll win.😱
Hillary is the supervillain man, everyone saw that. Plain sight and still ppl want to vote for her, those ppl are the Hitler youth.
fambaa Hilary is just a career politician with Republican in the 1980s values. The conspiracy theorists and the Bernie supporters will tell you all about the scandals and fraud but she's just a plain old lying ambitious politician. Nothing scary about her.
Sanker Narayanan Importing terrorist should be scary, take the last islamic inspired attacks and ramp that up 500%
Simple math
fambaa Lol. The Orlando massacre was caused by a guy born in Queens. You gonna ban New Yorkers too?
Sanker Narayanan what has birthplace to do with a sick ideology embedded in a religion that refuses to reform?
im officially terrified for Murica. . . Canada is waving bye bye to you guys.
Well actually, they'll be saying hello to us. I'm actually in the process of moving there permanently.
We'll be happy to welcome you. We'll take more taxes than you're used to, but you and everyone here will have health care, a place to live, a guaranteed income, and peace.
Also leave the guns at the border.
ottawaandy I don't mind paying taxes. Republicans do. That's why they push for tax breaks for themselves. I've never minded that and your healthcare system is way better than ours. I'm terminally ill and living with my disease is costing me a fortune. I have a while left to live, but damn, I'm in deep debt because of it.
And don't worry. I sold my pistol to pay for an MRI. I don't have a gun.
Along with Europa, I would also like to move to canada to live off the taxpayers. Do I need to have a job or can I get on welfare easily like they do in Sweden/Germany, etc?
at this point I'm writing in Bob Dole
Bob Dole likes the way you think. Bob Dole! Bob Dole. Bob. Dole.
nobody eats Bob Dole's peanut butter without asking
I'm writing in John Stuart :)
+Alfredo Contreras well then make sure you spell his name right. *Jon Stewart*
Hello from the dystopian future. You’re in for a RIDE, Stephen.
US politics today is material for Netflix
Yeah. If House of Cards were a dark comedy show, it would be about this election.
please queen, sue this men for using your music.
Unfortunately, (A) I'm not sure they can - if they actually went through and bought a license or other right to use it, it would be through an agent, not Queen itself (themselves?) and (B) how much would they sue for? Likely not enough for him to care.
Also the singer is dead.
Oh my God I think I need oxygen over here the Colorado delegates walked out at 4:20 p.m. I'm just dying I'm just dying over here help me.
And theTump/Pence at the end....
Roflmao
Colbert is just so funny man lol
Trump wants to be president for trump
if that was even true trump would still be a better president cuz he cares about american soldiers and wouldnt leave them to be butchered at an embassy like hillary and trump wouldnt lie about emils and steal from the white house or defend planned parenthood savagely dissmembering babies for gain you are a dumbass
+Parabellum but do u really know that? How do u know that? Because he says outrageous shit? That's really telling
+thepapermakery explain to me what outarageous shit trump says dont just say what all liberals say with no proof use ur brain and i can assure you the only. reason trump is so controversial is because america needs a wake call and trump is just that. a wake up call america needs a president with balls.. who doesnt care about the feelings of criminals and values life and is concerned about national security and would protect the embassy in banghazi instead of ignoring it hillary cant even pass a fuckin background check not to mention the fact that shes messing with our 2nd ammendment rights so hillary is not a patriot and if anybody needs to be a patriot its the president
Is he doing live shows throughout the entirety of the convention? Like...all week? Cuz that's awesome if he is!
Actually, is the RNC an all-week thing? I fear my ignorance of politics is showing....
Yeah, it's an all-week thing. Conventions not only choose the presidential nominee but also the party platform for the next election cycle, which can take a lot of time and debate since delegates actually vote on it. Plus there's a lot of pomp and circumstance to fill in slow periods.
Thank you for explaining that so nicely.
Hahahaha I am surprised he did not pick on the fact that the mayor said DONALD SHRUMP lol
i was reading this comment right when he said it..fantastic!
im not from America, but i am terrified of your election.
He ruin the sanctity of Queen's music.
I watched the whole event. It was horrifying how STUPID everyone was.
"Anything worth doing is worth overdoing." -F. Mercury
Nice job capturing the Mic at RNC! ^^
his old glasses suited him better than these ones imo
Eh, I kinda like them.
You're just not used to them. Stephen just decided to go with the trend of framed glasses. The Woody Allen look is still in.
He is just insecure of his coming of age.. the glasses will help him connect with the hip youth.
Scott Baio's appearance killed Garry Marshall.
Harsh but most probably true!!!
Stephen looks great in black suit and with those dark framed glasses.
This guy has successfully taken John Stewarts throne!!
I can't stand Trump... but fuck the man know how to make an entrance :P
That's why he's so successful. He knows how to advertise and sell himself.
+Disappointed Turtle reminds me of al capone
I dunno, the song was good, the lighting was good, but he was kinda awkward, if it were me I would milk that shit for all it was worth, I won the fucking nomination bitches!
Question from a non-american here: WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING THIS CRAP? You are electing a POLITICIAN not a fucking ROCKSTAR.
You know, politicians, the guys you make laws and represent you. All this should be about FACTS and what they want to achive during the time they are in charge.
All this stupid retarded show for what? Politics is about the laws they make, not how much you "like" the guy making them.
+Jürgen Hans Because American democracy at this point is a literal song and dance at the circus show. China might as well be less corrupted than America
Kinda Hard Being Don T-R-U-M-P, but some how some way I made this far with just a wall, no way!?
I loled.
Adam Barkley lol, apparently the joke's lost on the millennials. Doggystyle should be high school curriculum by now ffs
May I, kick a little something for the GOP (yeah)
and, steal a few speeches as (yeah!) I breeze, through
Except Cruz and the Mormon the party's still jumpin
cause Ron Reagan ain't around.
I never thought the "Golden Staircase Descent" from last year could be eclipsed, but here we are.
Nailed it!
recorded before people found out that her speech was plagiarized?
It's kinda hard being Snoop D O double G
Laura Ingraham rocked the house! Great job Laura! I hope you watched it. If not, then look it up. It's a must!
"So much drama in the LBC..."
a real missed opportunity there
I'm from LBC
With so much drama in the RNC its kinda hard being Steven Colb-e-r-t
krasava...
Doesn't Ted Nuggent have any decent music that they can use as opposed to using Queen whose music and lifestyle is the complete opposite of what Conservatives stand for.....have they not listened to the lyrics of Bohemian rhapsody 😂😂😂
*Republicans. Conservatives are libertarians. Republicans are conservative on a couple economic issues, but are not on most social issues.
+Immanuel Kunt
An other word for conservative is traditionalist and libertarians aren't traditional/conservative on many issues. Like legalizing weed, abortion, etc. most of those social issues, they are rather progressive!
But I guess your point is, that many conservatives don't find themself in the RNC, like many progressive don't see the DNC as progressive (or even liberal)!
Like Cat Scratch Fever? That's all Nugent is known for. He's a one hit wonder. That would have been great if he entered to that.
No. Ted sucks.
Ted's also known for shitting himself for a week without changing his clothes to get out of going to the war.
Does he look different? Or is it just me?
thicker glasses
Different lighting? New makeup? Wizard Magic?
yes, he is aging
Different haircut, less hair dye, and a more classic conservative professional suit.
Its the glasses
This video's title warmed the cockles of my heart
Stephen Colbert is the single greatest thing to happen to television since Star Trek (in an alternate universe where Star Trek had no Kirk Vs Lizard-in-the-Dessert-mountains)
I knew it! I knew it - The second coming has just taken place. Praise be!
I wish Bernie Sanders was the Democrats nominee. He would have made a great President. If I were American,I'd vote for him.
That's it! The _perfect_ slogan for the Republican party: *We'll keep on fighting, till the end.*
I knew Stephen was going to bring up Trump's entrance. Predicting which I tapped on the thumbnail, of course.
This is great television... love it
Too funny... I keep coming back to this episode, this opening... Colbert is so awesome
Who would have thought after 4 years
I really really hope Queen can somehow sue Trump for using "We are the champions", while they have told him not to do so.
When he shuffled onto the stage I fell of the chair laughing.... So "presidential".....
If a candidacy is backed by Scott Baio, that should be an immediate red flag.
Thanks, RNC. I almost forgot to put toilet paper on the shopping list. never forget the TP.
The Colorado delegates couldn't deal with that shit without blazing some Rocky Mt. High.
i very much doubt that freddie mercury would have been very happy with donald trump using his music lol
His fucking arms dude... as soon as i saw them dangling i knew Stephen would kill me with laughter.
The forefathers must be turning in their graves right now
Drama in the RNC? it all went together pretty well.
Surreal to watch in 2020
agreed
COLBERT IS ON FIAAAAR
"With so much drama in the RNC, it's not that hard being the C-O-L-B-E-R-T, but I, somehow this way keep coming with funny ass shit like every single day..."
If there had been no visuals, I would have gone away thinking it was "Trump Pants"; which is what it looks like to us in the UK anyway.
Freddy Mercury would be turning in his grave at Trump's entrance
"With so much drama in the RNC, I find it hard tryina beat Mrs. Hillary"
-Donald Trump
I like the whole Barricade theme Donald is going for. We have the Trump Wall and now he gets a guy named...Fence I mean Pence.
Gary Johnson for President
So much drama in the RNC, thats why they call me T R U M P.
That would've been so awesome if Willie Ames from "Charles In Charge" were to interrupt Scott Baio's speech at the RNC stuttering "- Charles...! Charles...! Charles...!
The optics on that entrance were spectacular. And then he said "Thank you, thank you. We're going to to win big, we're going to win so big. Thank You." ROFL
"jumping out of the cake at the bachelor party" - I was eating chicken fingers and bits of it went in to my nose and trachea.
