The Funniest Republican National Convention Tweets, Night One
Screen cap from YouTube Comedy Lists republican national convention
It’s probably not a good start when the first night of your political convention gets multiple variations on the word “cocaine” trending on Twitter. Of course nothing good could have possibly come from the Trump Convention, but it was still an even bigger disaster than you’d maybe expect. Between the rampant lies about the coronavirus, the economy, today’s social climate, and really, almost every aspect of the president’s performance so far, and the absolutely unhinged performances of Trump insiders like Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, this was a convention custom built exclusively for people to make fun of. Yes, it’s some of the bleakest chuckles you’ll ever encounter—reminder that the dude this entire pageant was constructed for is still president for at least five more months, and potentially four years past that—but what the hell else do you expect the people to do in the fact of such absolute inexplicable bullshit?
So here they are: the good tweets about tonight’s Republican National Convention. It’s the first night of the RNC, so I guess maybe strap in for way too many of these things this week. Dammit. Why couldn’t they have taken at least a week off after the DNC? Apparently the only thing that can bring the American political edifice together is forcing lazy comedy editors to crank out way more half-assed Twitter galleries than they normally do.
Read the tweets, follow the tweeters, and pray for America, friends. And for tweets about night two of the RNC, click here.
The only place Donald Trump is a “bodyguard” is one of those Eastern European restaurants in the Chicago suburbs where there’s an 80 year old with a gold chain reading a physical newspaper in a chair next to the gumball machine who appears to have no other job https://t.co/OWSZo4aLvq

Gaetz is what happens when a hundred racist Garbage Pail Kids vomit into a pool for ten hours and the vomit is brought to life by a sexist sorcerer and the vomit man vomits out a human wearing a suit.

If Herschel Walker comes out and just bangs out 1,000 push-ups on stage at the RNC, I truly think it could move the needle for a lot of undecideds voters.

If you have a truly banger joke or someone just shat their pants during a speech ok, but tweeting a screen-grab every 5 minutes isn’t helping anyone but them.

Up next to speak at the RNC, six more children you didn’t know the president had.

I must say, did not expect the message “This country is a violent, shit-laden hellscape” from the party that’s been running the show for 3.5 years.

I’m trying to watch the RNC Trumpathon but my eyes keep popping out of my head and trying to jump off the balcony.

If you wanna stay sober as fuck, take a shot every time they tell the truth.

Which is weird because coronavirus has, actually, canceled our culture.

“Okay, let’s see what the nazis are up to” she said, tuning in to footage of DT Jr. with his leaky dick eyes

Don Jr. and Kimberly got the same speech prep. ‘Snort the line! Then read the line! #RNCConvention
— Dana Goldberg (@DGComedy) August 25, 2020
I’d give my left arm for Don Jr’s Hill School bully to magically appear in his sightline, doing that fist-grind-in-palm thing.
— Jon Wurster (@jonwurster) August 25, 2020
So…
Biden talked about empathy and Don Jr just went on and gave me flashbacks to getting a buddy into rehab.
Good stuff, MAGAs. Good stuff.

I guess the RNC is for people who found Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood understated.

Lots of fun cosplays at RepNatCon this year but my favorite was Charlie Kirk’s Boss Baby.
