I've been watching old movie musicals and then trying to listen to some podcasts where people discuss them. After sampling almost a dozen, my recommendation is just - skip it. These dummies aren't interested in talking about the merits of the book, acting, singing, or dancing. Or comparing say Astaire's style with Gene Kellys or why 7 Brides for 7 brothers was more popular than say: Band wagon with the 1953 public. Instead, they rattle on and on about Feminism and "toxic masculinity" or some other sin against the current party line. One women actually stated that as a Producer in the "the Industry" they're unsure whether "problematic" plays like "My fair lady" should be produced anymore!
Even more moronic was listening to several supposedly straight men talk about how "creepy" it was that Gene Kelly agressively gets Leading ladies phone number in American in Paris!
Too bad all these podcasts of movie/TV shows are put out by batshit crazy Leftists.
Al Sharpton is onstage with the surviving Central Park 5 at the convention.
This confirms my theory that the convention is being used as an infomercial to the urban populations in swing states.
So many of the speakers, music acts, celebrities, etc., all week have been black. Way beyond 13%. And mostly not anodyne cuddly black: Oprah and Legend fit into that category, but the rest don’t.
Putting Sharpton and the CP5 up there won’t convince a single wobbly rural white. It probably turns off most of them, especially in the swing states where there is almost active hostility between the city and the hinterland.
So the Dems think salvation lies in urban turnout.
Either that, or they know they’ll be printing ballots anyway and so they just programmed the guests they like.
Or they could just be completely tone deaf (that was one of the rappers they couldnt book: Ton-Def!).
john mosby "Al Sharpton is onstage with the surviving Central Park 5 at the convention."
If it was up to Trump, the Central Park 5 would have all been executed. And he's never apologized for calling for the death penalty. Of course to give him his due, he does have much expertise when it comes to raping New Yorkers.
Mental illness is overtaking young lefties - especially the females - at an alarming rate. Dealing with life can be difficult, and it doesn’t help that so many of their young men are weak-suck poofters. That has to be depressing.

So CoachTim Awalz turned around his winless high school football team into state champions. So when was Tampon Tim named head coach? Ah, never. He was merely an assistant coach.

Trump celebrating and honoring the insurrectionists is truly one of the most politically stupid things anyone has ever done. Less than a week before the first debate.
True, true story from . . . . gosh, 40+ years ago. A good (male) friend from Mexico was at the same university. From time to time, we would go to the local IHOP and he would point out all of the "Hispanics" that were there (back them, almost all were directly from Mexico). I asked - how can you tell (white girl here that was never brought up to look for certain features, eye shapes, whatever). He just smiled. And then, I will never forget what he told me: Hispanics HATE blacks. And blacks HATE Hispanics. I was shocked (this was during affirmative action on steroids). I remember that conversation whenever I read that Trump is doing well with "Hispanics". Focusing on urban blackness is not going to bring them to the left. I know Hispanics (extended family) who hate Trump - but they'll stay home before they vote for the team that promotes "urban".

I started listening to Harris speaking at the DNC and was impressed by her story but then she started lying and using the bogus law fare cases to campaign against Trump, making wild fear mongering about what he might do, and I had to shut it off.
I’ll try again… check out Megyn Kelly’s 8/22 podcast on YouTube, where she interviews CongressCritter Adam Smith (D - Washington). A very contentious interview that really highlighted the lying these Democrats will do to help mitigate the damage caused by the lies of Harris-Walz. I like that Kelly didn’t accept ANY of the aggressive bullshit being slung her way by this clown Smith.
I wrote about this earlier. TFG lies about everything. What he’s “accomplished” just ain’t good enough, so he has to fluff it to help him look in the mirror. Even he thinks he’s a twat.

Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein Stop the gaslighting. Right now @TheDemocrats are trying to sue us off multiple state ballots, hiring spies and infiltrators to sabotage us, and even withholding public funds we qualified for months ago.
Democrats ABSOLUTELY cheat and change the rules to maintain their grip on power.

Kathryn51, good point about black v brown. I can’t remember a single Latino speaker or act at this convention. I’m sure there were some. Oh, there was fhe Bexar County TX sheriff, who was the only border politician they could find on their side.
But definitely not an all-out grovel for Latino votes. I dont know if this reinforces my theory that the Dems are picking urban black turnout as a Schwerpunkt to concentrate all their efforts, either for real votes or for poll numbers to make their high-speed ballot printing plausible.
There also is the weirdness of Chicago, the host city, being one-third each white/black/brown, so that politics consists of intra-Dem jostling between blacks and Hispanics for the right to tell the whites who to vote for. Currently the blacks are on top, so there would be pressure from the Cook County machine to have more black people on stage.
I stopped at the local Ford dealer to look at their pick up truck selection. I asked the salesman how the EVs were selling. He laughed. They are not selling at all. How many Ford Lightnings did he have? Zero and not getting anymore. I asked how many chargers were in our county. His response? Outside of the dealerships, there are zero.
Mutaman is all about compassion. And if you don't have enough compassion he'll have laws passed to force you to be compassionate. That's how much compassion he has.

Tough day. Dealt with my crazy, loyal Catholic Democrat MIL. She really reminded me of Inga. No thinking, but the party line.
Of course, she needs me to figure out how she fukked up her phone because she is 86 and easily confused. Did I say that she reminded me of Inga?
