I'm afraid it's not a comedy show and Freepers are fooling themselves if they think DJT is going to win in a landslide. Even if their was no cheating on either side.

Face it, the U.S. is full of mud people with the morals of a Billy goat and the brainpower of chickens.

men beating up women for gold medals,

trans-psychos demanding more T.V. with trans people as the lead, mobile abortion clinics in Chicago,

other countries sending their worst people to our borders, shooting someone whos raping your daughter is considered murder in several large cities,

God has left the U.S.

a democrat -socialist is going to be our next president

It BS for a multitude of reasons. First they can just say the numbers are anything they want them to be. Secondly most of those networks did not even carry the Republican convention. I know that I was watching it on Rumble when I watched. One of the only places where you could watch it when ever you wanted to watch it and not worry about it being cut off either. You can bet that those ratings don’t count those places at all. Yet republicans have had to adjust to all the censorship and therefore use alternative sources to view things.

The democrats can’t even hold rallies and have people show up. Why would so many want to watch their pathetic convention. They fake pictures and videos. Use concerts to attack the people they do get. They fake the polls and obviously they fake the ratings as well. That shouldn’t be too hard for us to believe.

Honestly even 20 million for the first night of a convention is pretty pathetic..The only reason why the first night of DNC convention got a few million more viewers is because they knew that Biden would speak..for the RNC convention it was a surprise when Trump appeared shortly after being shot, no one expected him to be there opening night

They were waiting to hear Biden say— give me back my nomination you A@@holes! I can win this- kamala cannot, not with that dorf VP and not without me!!

that explains those numbers. Tonight not so much, Monday was ALL the has beens and never was’s. Kamala stuck her loud stupid mouth in as a “surprise” and clintoon spoke forever in bitter crap mouth bullcrap speech— such that joey bags was past prime time. Intentionally. these people know how to treat each other— as the fecal spots on the sidewalk they really are. It was curiosity that drove those numbers— nothing else.

This petty troll (who has been FReeping since 1998) says: “lay off the sauce”. What are you doing, actively, to defeat these a@@holes, or have you ever done to do so? Your list is so long and made of minutiae. God has not left the USA.

I hear people remarking they can’t get over how much propaganda they are seeing and hearing on tv, the Internet, everywhere, etc. It’s never been this bad. I think many people know it’s bs.

What goads- experienced political people on here know what we hear, and it’s an echo chamber from Frank Luntz country, or would that be Nikki Haley land, which includes tooty Linda?

We watched for about five minutes out of curiosity over how many lies they would tell per minute but Kathy Hochul exceeded our expectations in her first thirty seconds so we turned it off.

Who watches network TV?

Deluded sheep for the most part. Or as others might call them, Dems. So no wonder the networks had a lot of viewers - they were broadcasting the long-hyped big quadrennial rendezvous for their typical audience: mind-numbed sheep, looking for the Joy the network hype had promised. I wonder if the sheep felt joyful.
