A Night At the Opera: Day One of the Democratic National Convention
American Thinker ^ | 20 Aug, 2024 | Howard J. Warner

Posted on 08/20/2024 3:57:59 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The Democrats made sure Joe Biden's big night would have him starting late, when viewers would be headed for bed.

With difficulty, I endured an evening of Democratic National Convention festivities on the first night.

In politics, both sides exaggerate their good points and distract from their negatives, but Monday was like watching a melodrama with invented realities.

I trust that the GOP and Trump campaign will take this event seriously and learn from the attacks upon the former president.

Kamala Harris came out for two minutes to tell the audience to cheer Joe Biden when he comes out, despite being booted from the ticket.

Biden himself did not get to talk till after 11:00 p.m. on the East Coast, though, way past his bedtime, and when most viewers have gone to sleep.

SNIP

The short six-minute speech by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez earlier, though, demonstrated her charisma and she delivered a talk that brought the audience to its feet. Sadly, it was full of falsehoods and platitudes and missed realities. Her speech was short on detail but it indicated that for Democrats, the unifying issue will be abortion.

Hillary Clinton, also spoke, and though not as rousing as AOC, delivered a speech that got the audience cheering. Her theme was breaking the glass ceiling for women and the time is now for the White House. But again, the unifier will be abortion. Hillary could not resist the personal attacks on Trump calling him a felon and one who makes fun of Kamala’s laugh. A speech on Monday means that Hillary and the Clintons, like the Bidens, are in the past.

It seems that the democRATs want to abort themselves out of the gene pool.

Seems Hillary may not be able to fly in on her broom and take the nomination. So sad her time is past.

The GOP and Trump campaign is in disarray as Trump is bringing in his 2020 staff in the hope Lightning strikes twice. The problem is not with the staff it is Trump not staying on message.

Related, and another reason why Deep State has to steal elections...

The DNC literally forced women out of their own bathrooms.

More and more Dem women are REFUSING to vote for this ****.

The message is MAGA.

And Trump lives the message.

Lives, fortunes, and sacred honor.

Trump walks that walk.

That’s why this registered Dem female is broken glass Trump voter.

Affordable cars run on gasoline.

Trump will keep the gasoline pumps working so you can keep working.

“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”

“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”

“must”

Imagine what your future electric bills would look like under Kamala and her successors.

Vote for Trump and a Republican Congress to make sure America has a bright future.

In order to have cheaper gas, we need cheaper oil.

We’re drilling plenty, but exporting record amounts of oil.

We need to reduce those exports until prices come down.

We have to get members of their side to consider the cost of energy and vote accordingly.

Trump’s people need to talk to gas stations to put up Trump “I’ll fight to keep gas prices down” stickers by every pump.

Trump’s people need to talk to electric utilities to place Trump “I’ll fight to keep electricity prices reasonable” slips in every utility bill mailing and pay for the cost of insertion. An alternative is postcards with the same message to all voter households.

Republican candidates for Congress might follow the gas station and utility paths to victory too.

While we’re on the subject...

Why the heck are we importing Iraqi oil while exporting so much of our own?!

No, it is people like you that are in disarray. Not Trump.

Trump should add one more schtick to his rally speeches:

“Joe and kaMAla don’t tell the truth, and they steal my policy ideas the same way they steal elections. But, bless their hearts, God still loves them.”

Bring God into the mix, and watch how demon-possessed RATs heads explode. It would be interesting to see how they’d react to Trump “softening”, saying “God”, and being magnanimous to them.
