Well, Is there a difference between stretched truth fish tales, exaggerations, venial untruths and cardinal lies?

Asking for a friend hoping for partial credit. 😀

There are now 2 Nations on this Contenant. The United States of America and The United Socalist States of America. Unfortunately, we are all jumbled together.

I saw a report earlier, the reporter, a black gentleman , sounded concerned that “troublemakers” , he went on to explain that having worked other marches and protests, it is easy to spot the troublemakers, their faces are always covered, and they carry backpacks with tools to dismantle stuff.

The word AntiFa was never uttered though. They took down a section of fence. Later on ABC, they showed everyone had been vacated and there wasn’t anyone other than the reporter and a bunch of cops. Mostly peaceful, ahem. 🤔

Durbin sounds old. Just making stuff up about jobs. Yes, lots of new jobs under Biden- for illegals.

[Political Junkie Too]

So far, it's a nasty toned convention.

Deport all illegals out of the US, else send them to California, then block off the few roads in and out of the state. There are only 48 roads in and out of California on the Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona borders.

[philippa]

At the RNC- small business owners. At the DNC- unions.

[Political Junkie Too]

"Kamala's leadership style is a rare combination of brilliance, legal expertise, and patience."

Does that answer your question?

-PJ

[cowboyusa]

FR is in California, but the Free part. See what, I mean, even States are divided.

[johniegrad]

Public service unions.

[Political Junkie Too]

"UNION Yes! UNION Yes! UNION Yes!"

Not the president of the Teamsters, they have the president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees union.

A government workers union, not a tradesman union.

-PJ

[philippa]

Exactly.

[Political Junkie Too]

Now the SEIU union president.

"A younger, darker, hipper, fresher, sneaker-wearing labor movement!"

-PJ

[TermLimits4All]

Is the great and powerful Oz behind that big stage ornament?

[cowboyusa]

Private Sector Unions For Trump!

[Political Junkie Too]

Now the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union president.

This is how the Democrats are going to counter the president of the Teamsters appearing at the RNC convention.

-PJ

[philippa]

Right, no private sector union members.

[Political Junkie Too]

Now the Communications Workers of America union president.

-PJ

[cowboyusa]

The Teamsters guy was given the Keynote Speach.

[johniegrad]

Are you fired up, are you fired up?
