Holy crap.

You’ve given me all the reasons I need not to watch any of it…and it took less than a minute or so to scan your comments. I’m sure if anything notable were to happen it would be out on u-tube by tomorrow.
Couldn’t stand hearing Michelle talking about how great America is for the first time in her life. The adoration for this woman expressed in so many comments is amazing. Can’t wait til she is gone.
You didn’t miss much.
Last week, the Republicans had a special theme for each night of the convention, with the presentations being made accordingly. Tonight, I had absolutely no idea what message the Democrats wanted to convey, others than Trump’s a jerk and Hillary Clinton will save the U. S. A.
Other than that, I found this evening’s proceedings to be disorganized and unco-ordinated, almost as if nobody had any idea of what they were trying to accomplish. Maybe the organizers thought that they could put anybody they wanted on stage, have them do or say whatever they wanted, and voters would flock to them.
They might have been better off if they’d brought out a sheet of plywood instead.
“Couldn’t stand hearing Michelle talking about how great America is for the first time in her life”
She was not talking about your, or my America… NO AMERICAN FLAGS…NO GOD BLESS AMERICA….
What they are channeling at the DNC is Communist America
People better wake up!
While Sanders was speaking, the camera showed a lot of people in tears. Was it because those people couldn’t accept that their candidate didn’t win? Were they shedding tears of joy that their dreams will be fulfilled by Clinton, according to what he said? Maybe they were afraid that he was just humouring them and that she’d completely disregard what they wanted once she would take office.
And, come to think of it, there weren’t any of the “U. S. A.!” chants tonight like there were last week. Something doesn’t seem right when that happens.
I hope no one is surprised at Bernie supporting Clinton. Ever since his “in tired of hearing about Hillary’s emails” line, it’s been clear that he was willing to put Party above Principle.
Rented the movie Spotlight about the Boston Globe’s lengthy probe of the Catholic church covering up and enabling child abuse. The newspaper also acknowledged that they should have dug into the story years earlier.
Couldn’t help wondering if Trump is elected if the whole treason of the journalistic class will come out. Some of this subservience to the Democratic Party is already coming out with the leaks.
And while the movie was well done, I preferred the movie Doubt with Meryl Strep on the same theme.
“… I told him to think of his wife.”
Good one.
“I preferred the movie Doubt with Meryl Streep on the same theme.”
Both Doubt and Spotlight were excellent films – and I say this as an active, practising Roman Catholic. The Church hierarchy in Boston brought all its woes upon itself by covering up the problem.
However, both films also follow a common Hollywood arc these days: taking on past events and targeting “safe” institutions (in this case, the Catholic Church) that aren’t going to bite back. Another example of this formula is Trumbo: taking on the “Red Scare” and blacklisting nearly 60 years later. Or, closer to modern events, The Big Short.
We are still waiting for that Hollywood film that deals candidly with Islamic extremism.
But then, Islamic extremists bite back.
“While Sanders was speaking, the camera showed a lot of people in tears. Was it because those people couldn’t accept that their candidate didn’t win?”
The answer is probably: yes. These people might be leftie “true believers” but they can smell a rat. They believe that a Clinton administration would be a place-holder, establishment administration with just enough phony bells and whistles to portray itself as “progressive”.

in a sane world Hillary would already be in jail.
