[Kudsman]

Noooo? I pray our youth witness the instruments of their angst. It sure isn’t Republicans. It is most definitely isn’t the father of Queens brat. He is a hundred American. That is no lie.

[cowboyusa]

No, the Teamsters guy gave the Monday night Prime Time Address at our Convention.

Fighting fiercely for every child (except of course those in the womb).

Geez, they just wheeled out some poor soul with ALS, with an assistant translating his grunts. Gotta cover all the bases donchya know. I remember when “hire the handicapped, they’re fun to watch” was a sick disgusting joke 😖🤬🤬🤬

[cowboyusa]

I hear they are angry. What happened to the Joy. Our Convention WAS a hoyfest.

[cowboyusa]

Most people tune in at 10 PM.

[cgbg]

If they call Congress-critters honorable then every burglar and robber in prison should get that description as well.

:-)

[Kudsman]

The "irony" must mean something like what we give to the Ukies to keep warring. I do not see how any rational thinking person cannot see this for what it is.

The unpleasant reality is soooo many "choose" this. In ordinary speak one could also say they were groomed for this.

[philippa]

This band is terrible.

[Kudsman]

Joy and Pain, pump it up, pump it up now.

My sunshine, and rain!

[Political Junkie Too]

I know. I misunderstood the post to me. I thought he was talking about tonight, not clarifying my post back to me.

-PJ

[Political Junkie Too]

And judges, too.

-PJ

[Political Junkie Too]

The gaslighting is so strong I'm afraid they're going to burn down the arena! Mostly peaceably, of course.

-PJ

[CFW]

“A group of Islamic Palestinian HAMAS protesters breached the Secret Service fence, I presume they all got arrested. There were a few others earlier from what it appeared with the live feeds I’ve been streaming.”

---

I’m sure those arrested will be released very quickly. I’m watching Steve Lookner’s Agenda Free TV Youtube live stream. He monitors several news sites and will report if the protests progress from “peaceful with arrests” to “fiery but peaceful” status.

[bgill]

Good grief - Project 2025.

Why is everyone yelling into the mic? Do they not understand what a mic does? I’m not going to be able to deal with these clowns tonight.

[Political Junkie Too]

Every President fires all the federal prosecutors when they take office.
