We already know Martha Nussbaum won't be in the nude holding a mirror. What's left?
You missed the only excitement over the Rules. Preibus threatened states with loss of funding if they didn't pull their name from roll call request. Now we are into non-stop speeches for next four days
I think Eisenhower will win by acclamation. It's really no contest.
I find older people dancing to rock music vaguely disturbing. Not sure what the issue is.
Watching on public television, with commentary from National Proletariat Radio and Proletariat Broadcasting System hosts Mara Liasson, Judy Woodruff, Gwen Ifill,
David Brooks, Mark Shields, and Amy Walter from Cook Political Report.
And they broke to report on the axe-wielding Afghani in Germany!
C-SPAN coverage is superior.
@ AReasonableMan:
See your local health department for a recommendation for a mental health consultation.
You must be young.
"And they broke to report on the axe-wielding Afghani in Germany!"
What was Mohammed's last name this time?
Milo is FABULOUS. Down on his knees indeed. Too funny.
Good God, could the Republican Party sink any lower? Politicizing the grief of Mrs.Smith, the mother of the contractor that was killed in Benghazi. Disgusting use of this poor woman. Shameful. Someone should've led that woman off stage much sooner. Very sad to see such a spectacle.
Ah! Must add Georgiana to my No Profile file.
*typity type type type*
ARM I find older people dancing to rock music vaguely disturbing. Not sure what the issue is.
We grew up with rock music, ARM. What would expect? A waltz?
I thought you were going to watch the damn thing and give us the highlights?
I'd watch it myself, except i have to rearrange my sock drawer.
Fox News broke away from Mrs.Smith's speech to put on Donald Trump who called into the show right at the moment this poor woman was speaking.
Wake me up when Trump speaks. Or when they hang Bill Kristol.
In effigy, of course.
" I find older people dancing to rock music vaguely disturbing. Not sure what the issue is."
Get back to us in 20 years. We'll talk.
On Fox, Donald Trump called in to Bill O'Reilly and did an interview live over the phone. Naturally, a seemingly surprised O'Reilly put Trump on on-air. For the usual nothingburger interview.
Then a very interesting thing happened. After the Trump interview concluded, O'Reilly went to Brit Hume in Cleveland. And Hume had a great observation; while Trump and O'Reilly were gabbing, they missed the live coverage of the mother of one of the Benghazi contractors (the lady who was lied to and lied about by Hillary Clinton in the "videotape" aftermath-story). Hume, as he has done before (and who gets a kick out of it, I think) totally flummoxed O'Reilly. And as a result, after the next break, O'Reilly's producers put on that part of her speech, that they had missed for the Trump phone interview.
It is really quite interesting to see how FNC walks the line between news organization, Trump promotion, and a kind of Drudge channel.
AT&T Uverse has an RNC channel that shows the whole thing with better camera angles and sound. Meanwhile the Cable TV guys are all, FOX included, censoring most of the speakers and films the GOP is running by substituting burned out morons pretending to be explaining things, that are wrong anyway.
Oh dear God capitalizing on the grief of yet another parent of child that was killed. Republican Party has truly bottomed out.
Good God, could the Democrat Party sink any lower? Leaving four brave men to die in Benghazi and then lying to their survivors!
Jamiel Shaw very, very powerful speaking about the murder of his son by an illegal alien gang banger who never should have been in this country.
These network pundits think their 'analysis' is more interesting than the speeches. A lot like the golf commentators who think people tune in to a golf tournament to watch the guys in the booth bullshit rather than watching golf being played. THEY want to be the story. I'd like to drop them all off a cliff.
They should have held the convention last week during the MLB all star break.
The NPR and the RNC streams are quite different. Not sure which is 'live'. On the NPR stream two parents of children killed by illegal immigrants spoke and were very effective.
Politicizing the grief of Mrs.Smith, the mother of the contractor that was killed in Benghazi. Disgusting use of this poor woman. ... Very sad to see such a spectacle.
She's not grief-stricken; she's furious with Hillary and the Dumbocrats and her rage is what keeps her going. Very sad that there had to be such a spectacle -- that Hillary would ignore requests for more security in Benghazi and that she lie to the woman's face. But lying is not merely natural for Hillary Clinton; mendacity is her default mode. She lies even when she doesn't have to, and she lies when everyone knows she's lying. All politicians lie; Hillary raises lying to an art form.
And this woman is calling her on it.
CNN's Axelrod just called it a 'hate fest'.
These guys have no connection to reality and truth.
More importantly why did Trump preempt Mrs Smith?
"C-SPAN coverage is superior."
That depends. If you want to watch the talking heads talk over the convention speakers then the alphabet channels are a better bet, otherwise, ya..c-span.
Georgiana, I'll be watching for your post next week when the Dems feature the mom of Michael Brown.
Thanks for the C-SPAN headsup. The commentator-talk is ridiculous.
Four dead in O-hi-o?
How about four dead in Ben-gha-zi!
One hundred and twenty eight dead in Paris!
Fourteen dead in San Bernardino
Eighty four dead in Nice!
Fifty dead in Or-land-o!
Three dead in Batton Rouge!
Baltimore on fire!
Ferguson on fire!
Three dead in Boston!
Two police assasinated in New York City!
Axelrod needs a new line. Has any hate been expressed tonight? Liar.
And yes, let's talk about the dead bodies due to Obama's "Fast and Furious" guns for Mexican drug cartels!
My God, the Democrats can fuck up a wet dream! Too inebriated with the idea of eliminating the 2nd amendment to care about the harm they've caused letting guns walk across the border.
"What was Mohammed's last name this time?"
Like NPR/PBS would tell you. He was a "17 year old from Afghanistan."
They did also report on Gavin Long's shooting of three Baton Rouche officers.
I've noticed this recently at concerts and am seeing this again tonight. People shouting out and becoming part of the show. I didn't pay good money to hear someone interrupt Bonnie Riatt's singing.
Question: Given that the RNC has given NPR/PBS a booth from which to report, what are the odds that the DNC will do the same for Fox News?
I believe MSNBC has a booth.

I will criticize them equally if they use these parents' grief in a political way. I find it disgusting.

Georgiana said...
Oh dear God capitalizing on the grief of yet another parent of child that was killed. Republican Party has truly bottomed out.
I'm sure Georgiana will be very upset when the Dems capitalize on the grief of parents of children who were killed when they parade the mothers of blacks shot by police (including the mom of the saintly Michael Brown) on TV.
Actually, no, I am sure Georgiana won't give a shit.
good god, chris stevens was her hand picked emissary to the rebels, they were alive to slaughter and mutilate because of the air strikes, that red queen and rice and power ordered, these are policy considerations, but on a signature night nearly four years ago, they were abandoned to the mobs, and the same libyan officers who were disdained saved geist, paranto and company,
Not sure how effective 'make America safe again' will be in that context.
The Media and the Internet has made America seem very very unsafe what with all the gun wackos running around, regardless of actual crime rates.
It's also difficult to think America is safe when terrorist attacks are occurring in Europe with such frequency.
Sheriff David Clarke's speech was awesome.
Georgiana said...
Good God, could the Republican Party sink any lower? Politicizing the grief of Mrs.Smith, the mother of the contractor that was killed in Benghazi. Disgusting use of this poor woman. Shameful. Someone should've led that woman off stage much sooner. Very sad to see such a spectacle.
You have to wonder where Georgiana was during the decade Democrats paraded Cindy Sheehan around. Probably the same place she is now, minimum wage staffer drawing blog duty.
I was in the car so I listened to some of it on the public radio station. It was pretty funny - people who've been implying that Trump is the next Hitler are accusing the Republicans of fear-mongering.

Are people feeling safe these days? The Dems have long known that perception trumps (no pun intended) stats - which is why they are ignoring that more whites are killed by police than blacks.
I believe it will be very effective. People I talk to are afraid and I know more liberals than conservatives.

"Politicizing the grief of Mrs.Smith, the mother of the contractor that was killed in Benghazi. Disgusting use of this poor woman. ... Very sad to see such a spectacle."
She's not grief-stricken; she's furious with Hillary and the Dumbocrats and her rage is what keeps her going. Very sad that there had to be such a spectacle -- that Hillary would ignore requests for more security in Benghazi and that she lie to the woman's face. But lying is not merely natural for Hillary Clinton; mendacity is her default mode. She lies even when she doesn't have to, and she lies when everyone knows she's lying. All politicians lie; Hillary raises lying to an art form.
And this woman is calling her on it.
Amen to that, Big Mike. And as someone else rightly noted; the DNC is putting on Michael Brown's mother in their convention. It is a thoroughly disgusting comparison for the Democrats in that regard.
In Germany a 17 year old migrant/asylum seeker from Afghanistan who shouted Allahu Akbar attacked people on a train with an axe. We may never know what caused the attack.
In Cleveland the racist Republicans continued to be nasty and stupid - Trump supporters beat back the never-Trumpers or something. We may never know why anybody is a Republican.

Oh no eric; don't try to run that one by me.
Trump doesn't want ANY immigrants if they are going to undercut American wages. Like, uh, Slovenian models working for $10k a year on H1B visas.
No, eric; standard-issue Republicans are for immigration to help fill U.S. jobs that aren't being filled by Americans, and for immigrants with special talents and skills, and special motivations as entrepreneurs to enter the country legally. To work. But not with motivations for wholesale grants of U.S. citizenship.
The Trump-Teabag crowd accuses Republicans of being for "open borders" in all of that.
And yes, eric you've got it right that Democrats have pretty much gone for lawlessness (combined with the old "pathway to citizenship" for all of their Undocumented Democrats). No argument there.
The standard congessional Republican position on immigration -- you know, Mike Pence's position -- has been right all along. The pro-citizenship Democrats are full of shit but so are the wall-building Trumpkins.
When Bill Clinton comes on the stage, everyone of those people will be applauding a rapist.

So. after Trump wins, he should tell Michelle Obama to name a country she is more proud of then the US, and to go there. She has to pick a country, and she has to go. It would be lawless, but very popular, and Trump is a populist.

You're welcome. Mentioned previously most "experts" agree as discombobulated as the Dems were in '68, ***if*** the campaign had lasted one more week, Humphrey would have won. One of the not so dirty little secrets is many RFK supporters voted for Wallace.
Wallace running 3rd party basically gave the election to Nixon and it was still very close 43.4 ~ 42.7.

The concern should be that she was so stupid in her attempts to avoid scrutiny. But, in the end she ended up w/ tons more scrutiny. Why not just skip email, like so many other pols. And, why is it that the most secrecy-paraniod pols (e.g. HRC and RMN), who are not actually dumb, are such total failures in the pursuit of their secrecy?
Anywho, at least HRC did show unusual wisdom (for a pol) by not trying to do the cover up thing, which is what always seems to be the downfall for pols who think they're so smart.
Melania was the star of the night. Nothing else really matters. The others did a good job but it went on way too long.
But Melania was the star ... did I mention that?
Trolls here are phony confirmation-biased haters. We couldn't care less about you or your 'insights'. Trump's showmanship is off the charts. Great convention. Yes, Cruz, Romney, Ryan, and Bush(es) can't really be trusted to *truly* support him. So what? Good people do.
"Anywho, at least HRC did show unusual wisdom (for a pol) by not trying to do the cover up thing,"
Are you for real?
And as to my question, your answer is apparently "No".
"Melania was the star of the night. Nothing else really matters. The others did a good job but it went on way too long.
But Melania was the star ... did I mention that?"
So, I guess her speech writers, who plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech did a good job, in your opinion.

My answer is strongly "No." The one email correctly marked the lowest level of "Classified" (in the margin of the body of an email) that HRC sent is a total BS story.

Life-long Republican Chuck.
In this context, my big gripe is with those who claim to be Republicans, but who have spent years bashing Republican leadership for being "open borders" and for "amnesty." Haley Barbour has commented on this; how much time and effort he has had to expend, answering complaints from the Nativist Right.
Rush Limbaugh has commented on the phenomenon; and the more Rush talks about it, the more I think Haley Barbour had it exactly right.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/06/15/haley_barbour_and_mitch_mcconnell_blame_your_host_for_the_gop_s_failures
The Republican leaders who have been savaged by their isolationist right flank on the issue of immigration have done more fighting with pro-amnesty Democrats than anyone knows.
CubanB,
What the FBI laid almost totaly related to emails that were sent to HRC, when you separate what she sent v what she received. Which means that if cons want to continue to make this seem like a massive security breech, they must go after all the folks that sent all this info to an unclassified system. If you only go after HRC for one email that had the letter "C" (for the lowest level of classification) next to a particular section in the body of a single email, you've totally admitted that you're political hacks rather than genuinely concerned about who was sending secret info to unsafe email accounts.
What's with the teabag slur?
Anywho, at least HRC did show unusual wisdom (for a pol) by not trying to do the cover up thing, which is what always seems to be the downfall for pols who think they're so smart.
Hillary had the whole State Dept. to delay, and otherwise ignore FOIA with J Kerry's support so why did she need to cover up herself?
See Chuck @ 7/18/16, 10:05 PM for teabag slur. :-D
O.M.
I focused on the classified stuff, because that actually matters to our country.
Other than the classified stuff, to me the only thing that is concerning about her email server is that this proves she's not very good at knowing how to hide stuff. Like RMN and his tapes.
OTOH, I suppose we should more be more worried about the pols who do know how to cover their tracks. The hubris of HRC and RMN seem to allow the public to figure out what they're up to. Simpler pols just don't use email or tapes: which is trickier to crack.
That is why a ed Judge is deciding if she needs to be deposed under oath. I think that the "Justice" will decide that our betters don't need to testify, so it goes.
right of course if it wasn't for one romanian taxi driver, with a sniffer set, we wouldn't even know she had operating an insecure private server for half a decade,
My biggest issue is avoidance of FOIA. Completely unacceptable, not to mention criminal.
"knowing how to hise stuff" is the main goal of the State Dept. should she have been declared incompetent vs a vs the job requirements?

"Knowing how to hide" correction.
"My biggest issue is avoidance of FOIA. Completely unacceptable, not to mention criminal."
If this is an issue you follow I'm sure you see the irony. FOIA fans always say the gov uses the claim of classification to hide info that should be available to the public. And, in this situation the FBI says that HRC sent three emails that had subsections that had the letter "C" next to them (for the lowest level of classification). But, the State Dept says that two of these shouldn't have been identified as "C".
So, FOIA advocates can use the HRC email situation to prove that the gov is inappropriately using classification to hide non-secret information. OTOH, from the R POV, this does shine a light on the very minimal amount (one time) of actually classified (at the lowest level) info that HRC sent w/ her private email.
"So, I guess her speech writers, who plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech did a good job, in your opinion."
Can you prove that? Or is that something you just heard someone on MSNBC or NPR say?
"In this context, my big gripe is with those who claim to be Republicans, but who have spent years bashing Republican leadership for being "open borders" and for "amnesty."
Horseshit. The Tea Party was always primarily about smaller government and less government spending. I never formally joined them, but I went to a few early rallies out of curiosity and that is what the speakers talked about - not borders or amnesty or social issues for that matter. And they were dubbed teabaggers by the left early on because of that.
Your use of a leftist slur that didn't have one damn thing to do with amnesty or borders betrays you. Don't double down on your lie. You've revealed just how "Republican" and "conservative" you are. The writers at NRO don't like Trump, but would never use the term "teabaggers."
""So, I guess her speech writers, who plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech did a good job, in your opinion."
Can you prove that?"
The accent was different. I guess you can stick w/ that.
So anyone who wants the law to be upheld is now a member of the "Natavist Right". You have completely outed yourself as a Moby. It was a good try. Certainly better than Julio's or Georgiana's.
"PBandJ_LeDouanier said,..." Did your statement address the fact that there was/were a number greater than one of e-mails that HRC treated with non-compliance with legal requirements? She is the smartest person in the Democrat world. So, was she lying to us or was she just stupid? BTW I love Montreal and love life at the Cabane de Sucre my pals have, so I hope you are not a Qubecer.
I read the "plagiarized" paragraphs. Pretty standard political biography stuff. I find it a big stretch. If that's plagiarism, every political speech that discusses American values is plagiarized.
"BTW I love Montreal and love life at the Cabane de Sucre my pals have, so I hope you are not a Quebecer."
I've only been to Montreal for the F1 race. And, between the two French speaking F1 races I've been to, I like Monaco better. (Though that area is suffering now.)
"If this is an issue you follow I'm sure you see the irony."
What I see is a Presidential candidate who has betrayed our trust.
