Oh! The convention. Day 3. Do you care?
What's the point of Day 3? I don't get it. They've got to get the VP nominated, so there's one order of business. Other than that, it's a line-up of speeches, notably President Obama, but also the VP guys, Biden and Kaine. I'm a little curious about whether the convention will finally get around to the substance of the job of a President — notably national security. I'm tired of the celebration of diversity and the platitudinous assurances of commitment to equality. We're watching something else on TV for now — this — but I'm recording the convention and may get around to watching a bit of it. In the meantime, please let it rip in the comments.

no i don't care. i've never watched a second of either party's convention.
What's tonight's agenda?
I'm not sure I care exactly, but I do find them quite entertaining.
Which Unknown do we get, or is ARM going to provide the funnies tonight?
Biden get's a good rhetorical jab in against Trump's 'You're fired'.
Biden going off on "You're fired" from the TV show. Joe, it was a TV show. It was part of the drama. TV and Hollywood are not REAL.
Slow Joe, indeed. But they bought it.
And then Biden insults Trump's intelligence.
I can hardly believe any reasonably intelligent person falls for this Dem crap.
BREAKING: WikiLeaks releases hacked audio recordings of Democratic National Committee voicemails
We're having some fun now...
Sign O the Times is a good slogan for this campaign season
Biden: "We have the finest fighting force in the world! "
Then why didn't you use it? Crush ISIS when you had your best chance four years ago. Or at least blow up their oil assets.
"We're America." Who else could we be?
I don't care.
I just caught the last 30 seconds of JB.
Joe Blow Biden was blowing even harder than usual.
Screw off, Joe.
Rousing effective speech from Biden, not sure why others haven't learnt how to emulate his loud, soft, loud technique.
All this talk about achievement makes me feel like I'm listening to a speaker at the Special Olympics.
No, I don't care. I also didn't care last week. I am also proud of the fact that I never have sat down and watched these staged events in my 55 years on this planet. The only reason the EPA didn't shut this event down for contributing to global warming is that these people care about global warming in the same way that Leo DiCaprio cares about global warming as he jets around the world to climate change photo ops in his private jet.
This is the link by Gerry in the previous thread to the article about how dumb it is for the media to play right into Trump's hands on hacking:
Speaking of e-mails: hilarious.
Bloomberg talks like he's got a vice around his neck.
Who likes Bloomberg? What constituency does he have outside NYC?
Slow Joe. Bluster and buffoonery from the master of Democrat talking points. And not one word about shotguns, which he urged us all to buy.
"I'm a little curious about whether the convention will finally get around to the substance of the job of a President — notably national security."
You mean where Hillary failed? As the FBI director stated today, Syria has unleashed a diaspora of terrorists.
"Dangerous demagogue".
Who likes Bloomberg? What constituency does he have outside NYC?
Same can be said for Hillery.
Philly's only about 100 miles away. Both cities' states were the northeast firewall against Bernie.
They gave Hillary her cumback kid story.
She didn't listen, Mike. She just nodded her head.
It's her signature maneuver. I think Oprah invented it.
Montel Williams added two clasped hands in front of his face to it.
Honestly, the only part of the convention I'm listening to right now is the Phladelphia police department scanner. At this point, the big questions are 'is there going to be a riot?" and 'how much disruption of speakers by the activist delegates are going to make CNN?'.
I find it revealing that to date, no one has addressed the terrorism issue on 'national security' day, much less made any statements about what do do about it. Honestly, events are really going to determine this election, I suspect, more so than usual.
Oh I see. Bloomberg's here to provide the NYC insider's perspective on Trump the bad bidnessman.
Some serious oligarch on oligarch action here. A cage match might be in order.
Tell us how you really feel Mike.
With you Ann! I just cut the cable cord 2 weeks ago and haven't touched the TV since..Maybe for the Olympics, but definitely not for Obama. At this point I could give the speech for him and do a better job than he will..
SUMMARY: Bill the Vagina user, and Hill the Vagina are the cool libs so vote for them.
Now, a direct appeal to independents. As a moderate, I was not completely convinced.
Why are they waiting to bring Hillary on at the convention. i.e. like she wasn't there to accept the nomination in person?
Because they want to cajole, bribe, intimidate, get stoned/drunk, drive out of town, or just simply bore to death the disaffected Bernie-ites who would like nothing better than to have the images of them booing the Democratic nominee go out across the airwaves.
Bernie Beaners can't hold the gas that long.
The lugubrious Lenny Kravitz rocking a groovy pyramid necklace. I bet that's a one-off piece of jewelry.
Every consulant knows that at an evening meeting put on a slide show to put the yokels to sleep.
"IRS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation “pay-to-play” activities to his tax agency’s exempt operations office for investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned."
This is a legal blog. Can a President-Elect be impeached, or does she have to be sworn in first?
Huffing ton Post says that Barack Obama will repeat the ahistorical falsehood that Hillary Clinton is "the most qualified person ever to run for the presidency."
Put that lie up with "You're likable enough, Hillary."
No real cred without Patti Smith.
HILLARY THE VAGINA! can't be indicted because the FBI is a political organisation and Hillary is elite. So the HILLARY VAGINA Foundation is thus exempt. The FBI is wating money.
Genuine question: Why hasn't there been a shake-up in the Clinton campaign staff to date? Her poll numbers are poor and getting worse nationally and in key states - her campaign has been a true fight against an almost clear field.
My only guess is she values loyalty above competence.
@Good on you for ignoring them -- you'll only encourage them.
Get out your Holy Water, the show's about to begin.
Every time the media go off on Trump's statements and/ot policies it sounds dreadful, but then they play the actual clip, and what he said was not quite what they say he said.
Trump's statements are kind of like Rohrschach blots, and I have never had much luck with those. To me they are just inkblots and Trump's "statements" are just words that does not make much sense on the face of them.
I think Trump has spent his career fine honing his talent for speaking like that to discombulate the opposition and always give him a way to dodge the return fire and he bobs right back up and says: "See, what did I tell you? Those guys are crazy!"
@Treejoe
Catfight!
Every alphabet soup talking head bagging on Trump.
Bloomberg's speech is the first really smart thing the DNC has done so far. Went much better than I expected.
Correction, since the "Clinton Foundation" is a component of the "HILLARY THE VAGINA!" foundation, the FBI will not indict her as a matter of dictatorial law. I used to respect the FBI.
@TreeJoe,
My only guess is she values loyalty above competence.
Or, her entourage really runs the show, & she's just the front (wo)man.
Wouldn't be the first time. The phrase "the power behind the throne" exists for a reason.
I am going to miss the Onion's take on Joe Biden.
Because they want to cajole, bribe, intimidate, get stoned/drunk, drive out of town, or just simply bore to death the disaffected Bernie-ites who would like nothing better than to have the images of them booing the Democratic nominee go out across the airwaves.
They've been shut out to the outside of the Wells Fargo center, and the MSM cameras won't show a bit of it.
This guy is boring on white bread.
Heretic. Faith abuser. Co-opting the faith. I hate poseurs.
!Americanas Todos
Speaking of which, the tribute to veterans featured Russian ship's.
I don't give a shit how much Spanish he speaks.
Go back to the South American strong-woman dictator system that you belong in.
"The luckiest husband in the world" seems to also be the most boring.
This choreographed shit is as phony as it gets. Democraphonies.
Is the stadium still as empty as we'd expect any half-filled forum to be?
what a load of shit. The white man came riding in and saved the city.
Tim Kaine looks like a standup comedian. He just has that look and it's difficult to get past that. I'm sure he's a good competent guy, but sheesh, I can hardly hear a word he says while waiting for the punchline.
Kaine clearly wasn't selected for his public speaking skills. Seems like people in the in crowd like him, similar to Biden, opposite to Cruz.
Well, the DNC did come through and find the only white male with less charisma than Hillary. Check off Priority #1.
The only speaker that doesn't seem to hate Bernie, so far. Assuming he's telling the truth.
The part we see are the emails and voice mails being incrementally released.
The part which could potentially also be afoot, which we wouldn't see, are messages to certain people in Hillary's inner circle, and responding transfers from the Clintons of favors and/or money, to assure that more, or a specific set of emails and voice mails don't get released.
The only thing that could make this guy less charismatic would be to speak through a hand-puppet ventriloquist on his side.
The hand-puppet would have more charisma and overshadow his own.
Horrible speaker. And a total dweeb.
National security? Come now, President Nobel Peace Prize has solved all national security concerns. There is no Russian threat, the Norks and Iranians are not working on nuclear bombs, there is no organized network of ISIS terrorists, Zika virus is not a threat, the Olympics will not be a public health disaster, there are no dangerous immigrants, China is the most peace-loving nation around, Syria Iraq and Libya are not failed states, and the UN is obviously capable of solving any and all problems with its peacekeepers (none of whom are rapists).
The only threats are Israel and Republicans and all the smart people already know that, so naturally the Democrats are focusing on the only thing that matters, making sure all the deck chairs and lodgings on the Americana are arranged and allotted according to perfect diversity and fairness on behalf of minorities. There's no need to worry about steering the ship, there are no icebergs due to climate change.
No. Hillary has no passion. She has ambition.
Big difference, sir.
I missed him. Did Joe talk about that 3 letter word "jobs"?
Listening to Kaine going Latino pander bear in Spanish...and tell us Republican senators secretly like Hil.
Ambition..and VAGINA.
(high time)
"Hey Donald! What are you hiding!"
He's hiding your charisma, Tim.
Trump's tax returns get an ovation. Surprised they haven't been featured more prominently.
Kaine is horrible. Not a good speaker. Unfunny mocking of Trump's "Believe Me" chant.
ARM, you mentioned Giffords taking a bullet for the team. You mean regarding Palin inciting it with a bullseye on a map? Or was there a final distillation of Loughner's partisan grudge?
The call for Trumps tax returns bring up the Clinton Foundation finances and the Goldman Sachs transcripts. The Clintons don't want transparency any more than Trump
Yeah, he's a smooth operator alright.
"You cannot believe one word that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth."
Yeah, well Tim. At least he believes what he says. Which is more than can be said for Hillary.
Kaine is Jeb's doppelgänger
The Democrats' bitterly cling to [class] diversity and selective exclusion.
DNC: Throw another baby on the barbie. America, you're fired.
You tell 'em, Tim. Go and speak for all the women out there.
Now Tim's speaking on behalf of all the Republicans.
It's really great that this guy knows who he is.
AReasonableMan : "Trump's tax returns get an ovation. Surprised they haven't been featured more prominently."
Whatever you do, don't subpeona the tax returns. In the age of obama and clinton that's a surefire way to ensure those records are "lost" or "accidently destroyed".
Come on now Bay Area Guy, the MSM has clipped it and it tweeting it out already!
"NBC News @NBCNews
Watch Tim Kaine imitate Donald Trump: "Believe me" #DNCinPHL #Decision2016 (link: http://nbcnews.to/2a5UJjS) nbcnews.to/2a5UJjS"
Nope, no MSM bias there.
Rhythm and Balls: "Now Tim's speaking on behalf of all the Republicans"
Not a moment too soon.
Kasich get mentioned. He's hi fivin' himself..or something.
An uncharismatic speech combined with Spanish language lessons.
Oh boy.
Kaine and Unable. The finishing touch for America.
Who says MSM is lazy? High Time
This is the first time I've heard Tim Kaine speak. What a buffoon!
AReasonableMan: "Bloomberg's speech is the first really smart thing the DNC has done so far. Went much better than I expected"
Now that is what I call a meaningless baseline.
More identifying with women and I expect this guy to tuck his sack back and dance backwards like Jame Gumb.
But oh wait. Now he's identifying with blacks and and, and... surely there's another group that he can pander to and confuse his own identity with.

Greetings ドラゴ,
These fucking lame ass cover bands couldn't even raise the roof at a bar mitzvah.
It's "high Time", R&B. Get with the zeitgeist.
At least Kaine didn't yell constantly, he probably wears tolerably well over repeated exposures.
The Russians got their reset and flexibility, but all the Europeans got was mass abortion, rape-rapists, and trans-socials. I wonder who the Europeans will vote for this time.
Perhaps it was the French, or Germans, or British, or Norwegians, who stole Clinton's e-mails. They certainly have a motive, or two, or three.
Legal question. I'm a local district attorney, or IRS investigator and go depose someone issued a sommons to produce their records, can they meet their obligation by dropping a waste can of shredded paper on my desk? Paper versions of emails? Journal of accounts by email with only numbers somewhere in the contents? Perhaps voice recordings wherethey failed to get permission but they have in their posession? At what point am I determined to be non-compliant to reasonable requests? What are the penalties? Guilty as charged? Can the IRS just assume the worst case? What about Ms. C. who appears to have only turned over paper copies that are computer searchable? That then arguably put our sources (spies) at risk and like already died horrible deaths because they trusted us to keep their secrets and get them out of harms way because we'd act in their interest when their cover was blown. Who's responsible, criminal and otherwise for those deaths? Is there compensation due? Remember Ames? His leaks cause the horrible deaths of 10s of our people and their families in the USSR. If the full email archive isn't released to at least the U.S. government how can we know? Benghazi squared climbing over the bodies of heroic Americans for her own selfish reasons. An don't get me started on Mr. Mcain. not as bad but close. At least he had an excuse - a young man's testosterone and the ridicule of his classmates. What's unforgivable is voting against waterboarding because from his own experience he knows it always works at gaining eventual cooperation. Still a heroic man who has suffered terribly and deserves compassion and forgetfulness, but not the brightest bulb- Keeting 5.
Is this lady plugging Hillary or Obama? Is Obama here to plug Hillary or himself?
Ew.
Dems talk like America in 2016 is the Mississippi of Bilbo and Vardaman (which is ironic in that the two über-racists were pillars of the Democrat Party). It's such a pathetic, tiresome routine.
Three second warm up for o's speech: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp23R-u5TzQ
(To be fair, they've all said, incl Pres. Bush and !Jeb)
Obama has one thought going into this speech, 'If I can just get this steaming pile of shit across the finish line first historians will view me as the most successful Democrat politician since FDR'.
Ames, deja vu.
"They died because this warped, murdering traitor wanted a bigger house and a Jaguar," says the Director of Central Intelligence, R. James Woolsey.

He could have been a Planned Parenthood officer. #CecileTheCannibal
Of course, Obama is going to plug himself. Didn't you hear Biden lick his masters' feet.
In another note, Dana Perino was just great just now talking about Trump's little 'joke.'
Obama is praying that Hillary will leave all his skeletons buried and forgotten. With Trump presidency, no such luck. So he is doing this for himself.
Kaine reminds me of Red Skelton. The sappy clown.
Maybe they can drop the balloons after Obama's speech and pretend he's running for reelection
Maybe he will recycle his 2004 speech, there is no red America, there is no blue America, there is only Black America (to pacify the BLM folks)

I don't know what the RNC would have looked like if Jeb! or Kasich had won, but the DNC is so stage managed it's like watching the Oscars. The vignettes, the announcer, the awards, it's exactly the same.
Tim Kane has been awarded the Vice Presidential nomination
Hillary Clinton has been awarded the Presidential nomination.
And they're running the video for Barack Obama's Lifetime Achievement Award right now.

It all makes me sick.
I doubt wikileaks opened with the most damaging items in their possession. Something wicked will be coming this way.
Obama is a skilled public speaker, he was patient, let the 'Hillary, Hillary' chant build and then paused his speech so this chant was heard at home by the TV audience.

True. Get ready for four years of the exact opposite.

William, I dunno. I think it was Jarrett just dicking with Hillary to show who's really in charge. I doubt she'll go far enough to sink her.
VJ probably promised Assange/Wiki something to be her front guy.
Wow, Meeeea, that's inside baseball!
@Hagar 843 Great link! The Kennedy story linked in the article is beauty as well!

Putin is certainly not our friend.
On the other hand, you have to ask yourself, if you had control of Hillary's missing emails, what would you do?
Release them?
Turn them over to the FBI and trust them to do the right thing?
Try to make a buck?
Trade them to Bill Clinton for a rousing twenty minute speech?

Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Here's my suggestion to add zest and adventure to the DNC convention. When Hillary gives her acceptance speech, I want Ahmad, the clock boy, to suddenly jump up, shout Allah Akhbar, and rush towards the podium waving his genius clock......That will get the attention of the television audience and wake up the crowd in the arena.......Th next part has to be carefully stage managed. You don't want some trigger happy, Islamophobic secret service agent shooting the poor kid. You've got to make sure that they're in on the scenario......No, the secret service agent grabs him by the arm, and Hillary says "America has nothing to fear from its children. They are our future. Suffer the children to come to me."........The agent lets Ahmad pass, and he runs up to the podium. He gives her his genius clock and says "I just want to show you that it's the right time for America to have a woman President.".......Hillary looks down benignly and gives the tyke a hug. "I will always have time for the children of America."......The crowd is moved to tears by this display of tolerance and affection. They jump to their feet and start spontaneously singing "What the world needs now is love, sweet love." Michael Brown's mother comes out of the wings and joins Ahmad and Hillary in a group hug. The convention ends with this beautiful moment........As I say the stagecraft has to be carefully managed, but handled properly it should give Hillary a huge bounce in polls. Her peeps crave moments like this.

@meeeeeea, it is pin pricks galore from day 1. But Hillary has something up her sleeve to get Obama give this speech tonight in addition to his own vanity. Just saying.
No one else could have given this speech.
Pity it wasn't delivered on behalf of someone who deserved it more.
President Obama trusts her, isn't that good enough for you Balls?

So..was Obama speaking at the same moment Bernie bailed the Dems?
These things are like...clockwork..
Listen to the people on this thread, Balls, you want to be like them?
President Obama trusts her, isn't that good enough for you Balls?
He's a politician and committed leader of his party. He has no choice but to support her.
He writes a hell of a speech. Just because he's talented enough to make the case for her that she can't make for herself doesn't mean it's good enough.
He called out and requested the resignation one of his strongest progressive legislators simply for doing sexy-time talk and dirty private photos on Twitter. Is that really a "worse" political mistake than setting up private unsecured email servers for state secrets?
He knows her up close and personal. Maybe he does know things that we don't. But I have trouble these days believing that a good public servant with credible leadership credentials can exist in such a poor campaigner as Hillary. (Or as she calls herself, NOT a "natural politician").
Hillary, and more importantly, her supporters/defenders/boosters, have been more condescending to me than most Republicans I regularly converse with about politics. They worry me, as she does, into fearing that they think that they can browbeat their opponents as Nixon did and as you say Trump does. If this is how supposed political allies treat me, then how will they treat average Americans who simply want to express an unpopular opinion? This is not a tyranny. Obama's been pretty transparent - the exact opposite of Hillary and her love of secrecy. I lack confidence that someone as unsure of her own political skills can deal with the diverse opinions of the country and how important it is to consider them fully.
You're simply going to have to give me more to go on. You're going to have to get her to become someone who learns the importance of trust, the skills to get people to gain it, and to put that into action and become a person of her word. SO far she has not done this, and seems to take trust for granted. Unless that changes, then I will vote for someone who is at least presidential enough to understand the importance of gaining and preserving and respecting people's trust.
Listen to the people on this thread, Balls, you want to be like them?
Gee Natasha, no.
Listen to the people on this thread, Balls, you want to be like them?
Listen to yourself. You are so oblivious to your own condescension that you shoot yourself in the foot. Just like Hillary does. Just like Hillary has done - year in, year out.
Some leopards have spots that apparently just won't change.
Keep thinking you can divide and browbeat me from your country the same way you do with/to them. It is a surefire losing strategy and only convinces me that Hillary and the Hillaryites don't know how to do this job properly.
Hard for me to connect with the Dems. Lotta platitudes. Nothing more.

Yes, America is a great country. No doubt. But we need a course correction, not more of the same.
I didn't see Obama's speech. When he called her the most qualified candidate ever, did he mention her Iraq War vote? Or the Bengazi fiasco? Or that ISIS emerged from the Syrian Civil War under Hillary's watch?
Did Obama say that he made her Secretary of State so that she wouldn't mount a primary challenge to him in 2012?

Do you think Obama would've given her such an amazing endorsement if he thought she'd be bad for the country? I don't think so. The man is principled, he will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents.
I mean..KNIFE VIOLENCE!
What utter shit!
Yes, America is a great country. No doubt. But we need a course correction, not more of the same.
Well, there is someone in this thread going by the name "Unknown#1," who thinks that if she only condescends to you enough, then the course will somehow be corrected.
Me, I guess I need more to go on. I tend to not respond well to people who say, "Trust me or I will insult and browbeat and condescend to you!'
I must be very unusual in not considering entreaties of that sort to be very worthy approaches for gaining my trust.
I suppose I'm just weird that way.

Obama accuses Trump of being devisive? Is this a fucking joke?
The guy who goes over the head of the people's congress to to rule by decree, the born-in-Hawaii, raised in Indonesia, grandson of a Kenyan goat herder who lectures Americans on what their values should be, calls someone else 'devisive'? The guy who admitted that he benefited from Affirmative Action at Harvard, and lectures the Supreme Court on what he considers to be their incorrect rulings, dares open his yap about someone else being 'devisive'?
Balls, I hoped you weren't a fool. I was wrong. You are just like these people, what the hell happened to you?

You are watching it live.
Balls,
Do you think Obama would've given her such an amazing endorsement if he thought she'd be bad for the country? I don't think so. The man is principled, he will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents.
I think that at least half of his motivation was:
1. His fear of Trump, a man who went after Obama and questioned the legitimacy of his office-holding requirements with a ferocious vengeance. Obama must have taken that very personally.
2. The fact that as party-leader he has to boost the party's choice. He's a party guy; not a lot of choice in this.
He did however choose her as SOS. A checkered record, to say the least. What she did in Libya, what she advocated in Syria, what she voted for in Iraq have all turned into or would have turned into unmitigated disasters. The only bright spot was her tenacity in persuading him to go with the risky but glorious bin Laden assassination. So you have that.
Let's be objective.
And let's also stop making personal fights between such very good friends as these so personal ourselves.
BRAVO!
Balls, I hoped you weren't a fool. I was wrong. You are just like these people, what the hell happened to you?
Fuck yourself. No one owns me. I do what I think is right, and I don't carry anyone's water just on their say-so.
Hillary has let millions of people down in more ways than you care to hear. And you are just like her. All that fucking entitlement. No one is entitled to any vote or any support. They have to earn it.
You might be one of those chicks who regularly manipulates people into thinking their trust is deserved, no questions asked. But I know your type. And if that approach doesn't lose in November it will definitely crash and burn soon after. This is a democracy. No one is entitled to be anyone's "leader" or to demand their support for it. Fuck off and find some other sap to emotionally leech off of.
Hey..to his credit, the 1st black president didn't (unless I missed it) resort to the "high time" argument...did he? I admit I couldn't stand to listen continuously to him.
@Unknown1,
Balls, I hoped you weren't a fool. I was wrong. You are just like these people, what the hell happened to you?
Just sprinkle on some more of that everlovin' charm of yours, Unny Baby, & then add some cinnamon & sugah, & Balls will fall right in line, he will.
Do you beat your dog & kids until they learn to be nice to you?
You really are a case, & sadly, probably far more representative of Hillary's supporters than even we here imagine in our nightmares.
Balls, just vote for Trump already. Maybe folks here will love you for it and accept you into the bosom of Althousia at long last. No longer will you be the lone liberal looking through the window longingly at these lovely conservatives in their cozy echo chamber. Join them, you've become one of them. As I said, what he hell happened to you? An irrational hatred of women in general, or just Hillary?
"I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic party for the president of the United States."
"But I'm outta this party."
Batshit crazy. Seems to be a feminist too.

I think you're definitely onto something with that one.
Draw up a psychological sketch between Bernie supporters and Hillary supporters, and you will not find a more divergent set of profiles.
The Hillary people are simply born-fascists, hierarchical kiss-up kick-down authoritarian assholes who have no respect for the art of logical persuasion or trust.
The Bernie people are the exact opposite of that in every way.
These are things that I value highly, and I am not alone. There may be some "papering over" and winced lever-pulling, but there is a split - no doubt. As there's always been. And it's their side that has to lose in time since it simply doesn't work in a democracy. Not without shutting out more people than you need supporting you - as we have seen from hundreds and hundreds of Philadelphia videos of discontented protestors whom the DNC have shut out and shut up as unceremoniously as only true Stalinists can bring themselves to do.
A lot of shade thrown by commenters who voted against Obama twice. He won twice anyway. He needs to see his votes go to Clinton now in order for her to win. I'm feeling optimistic after listening to todays's proceedings.
She does sound a lot better..when she doesn't speak.
@Walter,
But I'm outta this party.
To go green? Boy, wouldn't that be a hoot! It's already the most interesting election of my lifetime. Add Bernie in Green to the mix, & this election will make Krakatoa look like a roman candle.
The nuts are here and the squirrels are busy gathering them up for their long cold winter of discontent, should Trump win. Hopefully
Iberals and Democrats can save you from yourselves. You can thank us later.
What a drag...
little yellow pills
You just need 8 more years of democracy by pen.
..and racial healing. Doin' a bang up job..literally.
indefatigable
Balls, just vote for Trump already.
I'll vote for whom I want, thank you very much. Don't you worry yourself about it. This is a free country and we get a secret ballot. I don't need your authoritarian ass following me into the booth anyway, not that you'd be allowed in. Just keep your own control-freak needs to yourself and your own lever-pulling exercises.
Maybe folks here will love you for it and accept you into the bosom of Althousia at long last.
I don't care if they do or they don't. I do know that they respect honesty, though - as do I. So at least we share that in common. But we already did. It's YOU who's different from us in that way. And it's not a good thing. It's an ugly thing.
No longer will you be the lone liberal looking through the window longingly at these lovely conservatives in their cozy echo chamber.
Lol. Methinks someone needs a hobby. Trust me, you're not talented enough in politics to make a fun hobby out of it -- let alone a decent living. Maybe read a book or watch a movie or something. Bake a cake. Go fishing. Just leave me alone, you hound dog.
Join them, you've become one of them.
I don't have to. We can respect each others' opinions without demanding conformity to them. It makes us better Americans and better citizens to each other than you are.
As I said, what he hell happened to you?
I've always valued honesty. And who are you anyway? I don't know you. How well do you think you know me? Are you some kind of stalker?
An irrational hatred of women in general, or just Hillary?
Given your stalkerish insinuations above, I don't think you're at liberty to throw in gender dynamics into this one.
Many, many female Bernie supporters who don't trust Hillary. She has this problem massively with women under 30. And then those under 40. The age of his support kept growing and creeping up and up. And people who think they're too good to earn your trust tend to become hated when they demand it. That's life. Getting pissed about it? That's entitlement.
You are making yourself look like an asinine ogress. Maybe you really are one, and don't know it. Or just think that being a woman entitles you to do that without criticism.
You will soon find however that you are wrong. And the young women agree. Are you going to get Madeline Albright to condemn them to "hell" for it?
What a pathetic thing you are. Grow up and and get a life. Do something for others. You are your own worst anti-woman advertisement. Being an asshole is a gender neutral opportunity.
Me too Readering. I'm pretty sure than the momentum from here on in will be in Democrats' favor. Democrats seem to understand what is at risk here and what can be accomplished when we work together. I have high hopes for a Democratic Presidency, Senate and House. I think Hillary will be an indefatigable fighter for the causes Democrats, liberals and progressives know will move our country forward
I think Hillary will be an indefatigable fighter for the causes Democrats, liberals and progressives know will move our country forward.
"I think" is always a sign of a mind that takes objective evidence very seriously.
Equally effective indicators: "I am of the opinion that..."
"I do believe that..."
"What I just pulled out of my ass is the following..."
Does anybody remember "Repo Man"?
Balls, after reading your disgusting misogynistic rantings from yesterday evening, you don't have the right to call anyone an asshole. What the hell happened to you?
I loved Repo Man
I think Hillary will be an indefatigable fighter for the causes Democrats, liberals and progressives know will move our country forward...
Look at how hilariously sheltered you are.
Name for me one "liberal" or "progressive" media source that you rely on for your opinion on the standing of the Democratic party.
That you agglomerate "Democrats, liberals and progressives" into one group says an awful lot.
Prove me wrong. Show me that you really aren't as ignorant as you're letting on.
Name those "liberal" and "progressive" media sources you're relying on for your information on the will of the people.
Do it. I dare you.
Balls, after reading your disgusting misogynistic rantings from yesterday evening, you don't have the right to call anyone an asshole. What the hell happened to you?
Happened to me... since when? How long have you known me (or convinced yourself that you've known me)? You stalker.
Hillary is a female supremacist, obsessed with her own gender. There's nothing wrong or misogynistic in calling that out.
