Convention where the president demanded and received a pledge of allegiance to him from his supporters of convention, Marveth empty seats and a convention where some supporters yelled out and called for the assassination of democratic lawmakers with no rebuttal from those on stage. It came as a top Trump appointed official running his own DOJ investigation into a quote grand conspiracy into the president of the United States admitted that there is an ethical problem with what he's being asked to do.

A list that includes CNN's Caitlin Collins and Kristen Holmes ABC's Mary Bruce Bloomberg's Captain Lucy and CBS's Nancy Cordis communications lecturer Amy Tatum called this one an escalation because he didn't just verbally dismiss her he lunged towards her stopped try to stop her while she kept talking and it happened right after his convention basically imploded two nights thousands of empty seats and Trump insisting that the arena was packed anyway he made supporters recite the following loyalty pledge to him in a very odd moment.

When Mandami says he wants to seize the means of production he means it when Abdul Al-Sahieh says he has a quote obligation to comply with

4:41Sharia law he means it and when James Tallerico says he wants to dismantle capitalism he means it and at at no point did Ted Cruz rebut that at no point did Ted Cruz say no none of it none of it and in the middle of all the political chaos I wanted to take a moment to remember the 25 years since 9-11 ceremonies have been held simultaneously today at ground zero Pentagon and flight 93 memorial in shinksville right now we need to remember the heroes of 9-11 and I want to take a moment to remember three of them the first Moira and Smith Moira and Smith is the only female NYPD officer to die on 9-11 she was the first radio in the attack and spent her final minutes guiding panic survivors down the stairwell before the south tower collapsed telling dispatchers in her last transmission quote I don't have much air help me please this is Rick
