Well, sort of.
Heheh, you have a stronger stomach than I do. I lasted about a minute of Wold, Tapper and Bash, then changed to a TRUE story, Star Trek.
Mmmmmm, some big PO cooking.
Didn’t watch. But I’m hearing that the big old boney Bill finger was in play, tonight.
This struck me as disrespectful of all our former presidents ... including Obama.
Not only that, but it was ... ahem ... violent. I thought this Dem convention was supposed to be all peace and light? That's what they keep telling us.
If WE as a nation don’t do something about our universities we will NEVER repair this nation!!! Universities pumping out these propaganda pimps as SO CALLED journalists is disgusting and its destroying our country!!!!
Wow! I had no idea. You wouldn’t know it by listening to the media. Jeffrey Lord (lone Trump supporter right now) on CNN just said that there were protests, but that’s it. You couldn’t see the empty seats in the arena. Their arena is a lot darker than our arena, and the camera angles made it hard to see if their were any empty seats.
Wow for the RNC all the cables were interrupting the speakers constantly showing the protesters outside! That’s why I was hoping Bernie’s fans would have storm the wall and rushed into the convention center! This is the only way the American people will see the truth! They have two more chances i hope they don’t blow it!!!
Sanders loyalists bash Clinton nomination, clash with police
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bernie Sanders loyalists protested inside and outside the Democratic National Convention site and clashed with police on Tuesday after Hillary Clinton won the party’s presidential nomination.
Despite Sanders’ calls for them to support Clinton, thousands of activists have taken to the streets during the convention this week to voice support for the liberal Vermont U.S. senator and his progressive agenda.
Moments after Clinton became the first woman to be nominated for president by a major U.S. political party, a large group of Sanders delegates and supporters exited the Philadelphia convention site to hold a sit-in inside a media tent. Some had their mouths taped shut. A few spontaneously sang the chorus of the folk song “This Land is Your Land,” and a banner read “we the people.” They said they were holding a peaceful protest to complain about being shut out by the Democratic Party.
“This was not a convention. This was a four-day Hillary party. And we weren’t welcome,” said Liz Maratea, a New Jersey delegate at the media tent protest. “We were treated like lepers.”
In the streets outside, Sanders supporters who had spent the day protesting began facing off with police. Protesters began scaling 8-foot walls blocking off the secure zone around the arena parking lot, and several were detained. An officer sprayed one of the protesters.
The protests continued into the night with Sanders supporters and anti-police brutality protesters joining together. They marched in the street outside of the Wells Fargo Center. Later, someone set an Israeli flag on fire while people chanted “long live the intifada.”
Others then came together for a candlelight vigil.
Unmoved by Sanders’ plea for party unity, the Bernie or Bust protesters walked miles in the stifling heat again Tuesday to make their case for him. They held a midday rally at City Hall, then made their way down Broad Street to the convention site. By early evening, a large crowd had formed outside the subway station closest to the arena.
“We all have this unrealistic dream that democracy is alive in America,” said Debra Dilks, of Boonville, Missouri, who said she wasn’t sure she’ll vote in November. “Hillary didn’t get the nomination. The nomination was stolen.”
The crowd consisted of an assortment of protesters espousing a variety of causes, but mostly Sanders supporters and other Clinton foes on the left. College student Cory James said he expects the Democratic Party to split over the nomination.
“I suspect we are witnessing an event that will fundamentally change American politics,” said James, of Flint, Michigan.
Earlier in the day, participants at the rally charged that Sanders was cheated out of the nomination, and they said they weren’t swayed by his Monday plea to his supporters to fall in line behind Clinton for the good of the country.
“He persuaded no one to vote for Hillary,” said Greg Gregg, a retired nurse from Salem, Oregon, who intends to cast his ballot in November for Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
The longstanding bitterness between Sanders’ supporters and Clinton’s seemed to grow worse over the past few days after a trove of hacked emails showed that officials at the Democratic National Committee played favorites during the primaries and worked to undermine Sanders’ campaign.
Black Men for Bernie founder Bruce Carter said Monday’s speeches from Sanders and Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren didn’t persuade him to support Clinton.
“They really agitate people more every time they stand up and do the Hillary Clinton hoo-rah hoo-rah,” he said.
Carter, a Dallas resident, said he doesn’t fear a Republican Donald Trump presidency.
With temperatures climbing again toward the mid-90s, Chris Scully, an engineer from Troy, New York, held a “Jill Before Hill” sign outside City Hall and said he opposes Clinton because of her war record as U.S. secretary of state.
As Scully spoke, a passer-by called out: “That’s a vote for Trump!”
In a separate protest, against police brutality and racial injustice, about 500 people marched down Broad Street to City Hall. Protest leader Erica Mines told the crowd it was an “anti-police rally” and a “black and brown resistance march” and instructed all white people to move to the back.
March participant Tiara Willis, of Philadelphia, said she subscribes to the slogan “I’m with her ... I guess.” She said she won’t back Trump and called Clinton “the lesser of two evils.”
That's the party line for this one and every media story will be bleating it verbatim. Better get used to it.
Our fight is against the media...but how??
[and the camera angles made it hard to see if their were any empty seats.]
Apparently they expelled 700 Bernie Delegates from the Convention.
Will this night be known as HILLARY’S WATERLOO or the “2nd” SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD? LOL
Hopefully, someone will post Newt on Hannity's show with Newt's commentary of Bc's speech.
The magic of video. The real Hillary! was knocking back her fifth Scotch.
Priceless picture on Drudge.
[Our fight is against the media...but how??]
