Joe Biden, the smiling figurehead who Democrats have nominated for president, closed his party’s virtual convention with a speech that proved two things about him.
The man can still ably deliver a well-written speech.
And he still has great message discipline.
But through all that talk, Biden and the Democrats avoided saying anything about what many Americans are talking about now:
The violence, political and otherwise, plaguing American big cities run by liberal Democratic mayors.
The entire country sees the spiking street crime, the 50% increase in murders in some cities, looting in the downtowns, those news videos of people being pulled out of their cars and beaten, knocked out on the sidewalk, and cops pummeled in violent political confrontations.
Many protests have been peaceful. But many have not been. A cop getting his head thumped by a protester using a skateboard as a club isn’t a victim of a peaceful protest. The protests are no longer about the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.
This isn’t about Republicans vs. Democrats. It’s about Democrats fighting themselves.
What you’re seeing are liberal Democratic mayoral administrations under siege by the hard left as Biden and the national Democrats seek unity.
Biden and national Democrats can’t acknowledge any of it. They’re desperate to avoid it. They have nothing to say to it.
And the conflict inside their party rages on, out on the streets, where America can see it.
Trump will roll down that law-and-order road at the Republican virtual convention. He’s a politician, now, too. That’s what politicians do. Like wolves, they take advantage of weakness.
But Trump didn’t pave that road he’s on.
Biden and the national Democratic Party paved it for him, with silence that is consent.

Deliberately not mentioning nation wide riots, in fact claiming it’s not happening, should disqualify the democrats.
And notice Mr. Open Borders didn’t even touch the subject of immigration.
A totally false campaign.
Silence is violence?
Well, whatever deep fake or careful editing they used can deliver a speech.
If there was an indepentent, non biased press and if Biden had an actual non scripted press conference, someone should ask him if he intents to visit and campaign in Portland and Seattle. The look on his face alone would be prciceless. The response if any would be unforgetably funny. Of course such questions will never be asked.
The Democrats didn’t even address the riots by the cultural marxists taking place in blue cities.....or the fact that the Democrat administrations in those cities let them riot and ordered the police to stand down. Everybody notices this is not happening everywhere and we all know why - because if they tried that crap in much of the country the Mayors and the Governors would order their police to crack the Marxists’ skulls until it stopped.
The Democrats also didn’t say anything about China. They said nothing about how China has systematically stolen intellectual property from America, how it deliberately spread the Wuhan Flu around the world (while protecting China) and lied about it, or about how China has been militarily aggressive and picked fights with practically all of its neighbors.
The party could not even address our most pressing problems domestically and internationally. Their entire pitch was Orange Man Bad. Orange man is very Orange and very Bad.
The Republicans can and must absolutely hammer them for not addressing America’s real problems or offering any solutions.
The democrats had to start their riots, their basement campaign and their total deception operation too soon.
There is plenty of time for the reality to spread into everyone’s consciousness, and that’s deadly to a cowardly plan.
I’d say the two biggest topics at every dinner table are Biden’s unfitness and the violence in the cities.
Actually, I believe their prolonged silence is indicative the Dims DO KNOW and IT”S THEIR FAULT
These bastards politicize EVERYTHING
That they don’t mention it should tell everyone who’s at fault
Hey Joe—silence is violence!
For those 4 days they hardly mentioned any of of their policies. It was all about Trump is bad and then they say Biden will bring us together when infact it has been the Democrats dividing us for 4 years, remember the resist movement?
Silence?? They were having parties and cheering them on.
Agree. They can’t hide Biden forever especially since Trump in contrast is so communicative and apparent. The mocking of Biden on talk radio, the internet and some of the media will be harsh, unrelenting and unanswerable.
I can’t forget Biden’s weird, laughing, smirking and chuckling behaviors all through his last debates with Ryan. If basement Joe does come out for a debate, I hope he gets his ass handed to him.
After the RNC convention, I would expect Pres. Trump to go all out campaigning. He has so much ammo to use provided by the dims and their rioting army.
I have been convinced since the first day I heard of it, the kung Flu was an engineered virus, intentionally produced and intentionally let loose on the world, and specifically targeting America. Probably in retaliation, because Trump has ripped up all their half century of unfair trade deals and pressured them into new, more fair agreements, and he has also put a stop to their theft of our intellectual property.
I heard the original story and my antenna quivered, my instincts told me this was intentional, done by China, and probably in retaliation. But who were their helpers on this side of the pond?
I’ve also wondered a lot just how many democrats, like Biden and his handlers, knew of it and participated from day one. I’ve seen the rumors that Fauci worked with the Wuhan lab folks, or donated money to it, can’t remember the details, and frankly, don’t want to spend an hour digging up info.
Just how deep does the rabbit hole go? How many democrats and who are they, knew about this and participated in making it happen? Obama? Clinton? Biden? Oh yeah, of course our good buddy Soros...Bill Gates? Steyer? Not sure who else might have been in the know...

Milwaukee had “protests” during the democrat convention...They were all left-wing groups...They were huge too...I read where one group (the largest in the article) numbered all the way to 50 protesters...Yeah...50!!!! One group had 7...
It is going to be interesting to see what shows up in Charlotte....
First Chicago, blame that arrogant idiot you have as a mayor.
The Demshevik Frankenstein slipped out of their control, if they ever in fact had any control over it to begin with. The Left has weaponized everything in the service of tyranny. They are shocked when their weapons take on a life of their own and turn against them
Biden was silent on:
Deadly growing violence in many of our cities.
Our many businesses killed by state governors’ C19 dictates.
China’s march to own medicine, tech, manufacturing, fishing, the world.
