We now return you to your regularly scheduled Megathread!

Today is July 18th and it’s the fourth and final day of the Republican National Convention where Donald J. Trump will be officially nominated as the Republican candidate for President of the United States.

The convention runs Mon-Thur, you can see the calendar of events here:

Day 2:

Day 3:

This is the big one, if you only watch one day of the convention, this is the one to catch. Trump not only officially accepts the nomination today, but it’s also his first big speech since the assassination attempt.

Will he appear humbled or contrite as he did on day 1? 🤷‍♂️ Hard to say, we haven’t seen many speeches by candidates after an attempt on their life.

Day 1 ALREADY saw the actual nomination vote of Donald J. Trump, the announcement of his running mate, J.D. Vance, and the appearance of an unusually somber, almost SAD looking Trump on the show floor.

Day 2 saw an… interesting speech from Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Day 3 had the Vice Presidential acceptance speech from JD Vance:

Edit Longest convention speech in the modern era, beating his own records in 2016 and 2020.

    That was some weird shit. Pedo Donald looked like a smug corpse with a maxi pad on his ear. JD had no charisma whatsoever and sounded like a robot. He also stumbled and stuttered through his boring speech. Will the media be reporting on these issues like they do with Biden? Nope. You have to be a complete moron to take these empty suits seriously.

    Man, Jordan, you have the best jokes.

    This fucker is 100% going to openly call for violence against Democrats like he fucking always does.

        That’s quite fair and I’ll be watching as well but… my expectations are low.

    Oh boy! I’ve built the last few days around not watching, and I can’t wait for the big finale of not watching today!

      I felt obligated to watch Vance because a) I didn’t really know who he was and 2) because I wanted to timestamp it for the megathread.

      I’m watching Trump tonight too.

    Did they mention how many kids and women trump has raped? How about how many abortions he forced women to get? Did they mention his stealing from cancer charities at all?

    Do republicans even know what kind of person they are supporting?

    Just kidding we all know they know about him being a child rapist, they just don’t care as long as they can get power and money.

    It’s July 18 and you know what that means. Only two more months until Trump’s sentencing for his 34 felony convictions!!

    Is it just me, or do you think he picked Vance because it makes updating the signs easier?
