In a marathon 74 minute harangue, Donald Trump accepted the nomination of the Republican Party for President of the United States. The speech recounted a vision of America as a dystopian hellhole where every citizen should be shivering under their beds. And when he wasn’t trying scare the bejeebus out of everyone, he was enumerating the reasons they should all hate each other, and especially Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

In the opening of his speech<\/a><\/strong> Trump promised that “there will be no lies,”<\/em> a bold claim from someone with a long record of pathological lying (see the Trump Bullshitopedia<\/a><\/strong>). And this Trump speech didn’t fare well with the fact checkers<\/a><\/strong> either. He also made promises to bring back jobs from overseas (presumably his own clothing manufacturing), destroy ISIS, repeal ObamaCare, and end violence and crime in America (not reduce it, end<\/em> it). Of course, he never proposed a single policy that would achieve any of those goals in his speech, nor in the prior twelve monts of his campaign.<\/p>\n

Watching all of this from his lair in Vermont was Sen. Bernie Sanders. Sanders was privileged to have been mentioned in Trump’s speech in a particularly delusional passage wherein Trump insisted that “His supporters will join our movement.”<\/em> Because what self-respecting Democratic Socialist wouldn’t rush to support a wealthy, racist, right-wing, wannabe dictator? Not surprisingly, Sanders had a few things to say about Trump’s fear mongering tirade. So he took to Twitter (#RNCwithBernie) to engage in a running commentary. Here is his contemporaneous response to Trump’s lecture on how awful america is:<\/p>\n

Will Trump mention climate change, the great environmental crisis of our time? Been waiting for a year now. #RNCwithBernie<\/a><\/p>\n
