There are still about 6 more speakers left before they shove Sleepy Joe out there so it could go past midnight. It’s already well past Sundown time for him.

[Reno89519]

Maybe they’ll move some to tomorrow?

[Kudsman]

I’m chewing nails! Only have 3 left. Come Joe. One more time FOR THE GIPPER! Love you man, come on!

[Political Junkie Too]

By my count, there have been many cases where the floor didn't respond as raucously as the speaker expected them to.

They ate still in the 9 o clock hour.🤣

[PerConPat]

If Joe does a good job tonight, it might deepen some Rat resentment over the coup. I wish the old boy well.

[cowboyusa]

Hete comes the Abortion nonsense.

[janetjanet998]

They don’t want Biden in prime time so they are delaying

The Internet is 24/7 and forever.

TV time games are so 1960s.

[philippa]

I have not found one of these speakers remotely inspiring. It’s like the inverse of JFK’s famous speech, “ ask what your country can do for you.”

[Political Junkie Too]

This feels like what my generation used to call a rank out session. I can just imagine them all backstage high-fiving each other over who got the best diss against Trump.

> It’s like the inverse of JFK’s famous speech, “ ask what your country can do for you.”

It's even worse than that. It's like:

"DEMAND that your country do everything for you.
And piss and moan and burn and destroy until it does."

If Joe puppet has to wait till midnight, his brain is going to be AWOL too.
If I was Joe, I’d just tell them to FO and I would leave for California.

[djstex]

these testimonies promoting abortion among Adult women that cannot make up their own mind about having their baby or not disgusting blaming it on President Trump who gave it up to individual states to vote on this!

[Political Junkie Too]

And complain and call everyone racist if the country asks anything of you in return.

Where the hell is Senile Joe?? I don’t want this DNC Freak Show to pre-empt Greg Gutfeld which was supposed to run at 11:00 pm ET. 😡

Comrade Walz and his Comrade wife look extremely nervous. What the heck is going on??

[nutmeg]

😡

[Political Junkie Too]

Gutfeld said they're going to be live after the convention, whenever that might be.

-PJ

[PJ-Comix]

If Joe puppet has to wait till midnight, his brain is going to be AWOL too.
If I was Joe, I’d just tell them to FO and I would leave for California.

At this point there is no way that Sleepy Joe can speak before 11:30 PM ET. Therefore he will be speaking to a greatly DIMINISHED audience and the INSULT of that could send him into extreme RAGE.

[plain talk]

Dunno - it may be intentional to have Biden on real late to reduce the number of people that see it.
