2024 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Barack! We've seen that movie, and we know that the sequel is usually worse.

I don't think I've ever watched so much of a convention. It's at least been decades.

5 Deepest Burns Aimed At Trump From The Obamas And Other DNC Speakers
Democrats were fired up and ready to take on Trump at the second night of their convention.


Great minds . . .

1. Michelle's “Black jobs" quip that we simultaneously posted about in real time.
... She was a tough act to follow,
I was thinking the same thing when Barack said as much.
but her husband tried anyway as former President Barack Obama delivered a rousing speech of his own.
:thumbup: He pulled it off.

2.
Obama slammed Trump for “whining” and warned that putting him back in office would lead to “four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos.”

“We have seen that movie before,” Obama said. “And we all know that the sequel is usually worse.”
As we cheered.

2 1/2: "Crowd size," as you featured.

3.
... Another zinger with a hand gesture came not at the DNC itself but at a secondary event in Wisconsin featuring Harris and Walz which was held in the same arena that hosted the RNC last month....

:clap:

4.

:thumbup: GoILGo!

5.
“The View” cohost and CNN commentator Ana Navarro ― a longtime Republican strategist who is part of the party’s "Never Trump" wing ...

:D

As I thought and the article says:
Barack Obama Shares Bold Move Only He Is 'Stupid Enough' To Attempt
The former president and his wife Michelle Obama gave rousing speeches at the second night of the Democratic National Convention.


... Speaking for more than 20 minutes in the penultimate slot of the night, Michelle Obama brought down the house with her remarks. She spoke of the “the contagious power of hope,” threw in clever jabs at Republican nominee Donald Trump, and called voters to action, leading attendees in chants of “do something!”

“Please welcome America’s 44th president and the love of my life: Barack Obama,” she said as her husband joined her onstage and they embraced.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper exalted Michelle Obama’s address as the “most powerful political speech I’ve ever heard.” MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said it was “one of the best convention speeches I have ever seen by anybody in any circumstance.”

We both cheered the "Black jobs" part in real time and the full clip is #1 in the article above.

The fact that this is still even a remotely competitive race leads me to limited conclusions. Either:
Half the people in the country just aren't paying attention; or
Trump's cult is way bigger than previously believed; and/or
Half the people in the country are more stupid than in any other civilized country.

Don't forget racism and misogyny, which doesn't necessarily contradict your second option. They're as American as cherry pie.

Yeah, but Trump is even more addled than they claimed Biden is, and is no longer even entertaining. A rational misogynist racist would say "I ain't voting fer no female nig, but Trump's jumped the shark. I'll go hunting and drink some beer on election day. Eff 'em all and the horses they rode in on."

Is there an option for all or part of all the above?

We've all seen the YouTube videos of trump supporters.

They're 90% nuts and this country also has an education problem.

To be fair, those are the groupies who are further winnowed for the most entertaining ones for we viewers. Sadly, there are tens of millions of DonOLD supporters who aren't like them, at least not outwardly.

Speaking of that demographic, tonight is supposedly (mostly) White Men night at the DNC. The headliners are Bill Clinton and Tim Walz. Never mind that "Stevie Wonder and John Legend are expected to perform, as well."

Ta Ta must be tomorrow night ;)

They wasted his comedic genius on the national Project 2025 interviews, but it is info we need to hear from someone.

Hakeem! Donald, we broke up with you for a reason, and we ain't taking you back.

Bill Clinton is earlier than I expected. Bedtime? :D
