    So nobody is watching the DNC convention because they have a great message but all will be tuning in to the RNC convention to hear all the lies?

    Thats the best excuse you can find? I can't wait for the why Biden lost excuses.

    Yeah, I didn't write anything like that. I'll assume that you don't actually have the reading comprehension of a dyslexic squirrel and simply quoted the wrong post.

    Where did I claim that. The only people making hats and ties your average person can afford don't work in this country. Haute catour make look great on the runway but damn few people can afford 500 dollars for a hat or a grand for a pair of shoes... Not Trump's fault those businesses were run out of the country decades back.

    I agree that Julia Dreyfus was cringe-worthy. Her "jokes" just fell flat.

    Biden's speech, however, was great. Biden was one of my least favorite candidates in the Dem field, and I criticized him heavily in the past. The speech, however, was almost flawless. Maybe a bit too many platitudes at times, but it had one thing that is sorely missing from the current occupant of the WH: Compassion and empathy. Finally, someone acknowledged the grief of the friends and family members of the 175,000 dead, something that Trump seems to be unable to do. Biden's speech was a more Christian speech than anything that Trump could even give, even though he wasn't holding up a bible as a photo op. How any Christian could vote for Trump over Biden is beyond me.

    50 years as a politician, he's had plenty of time to be groomed

    Let me repeat that..........50 years as a politician. There is something fundamentally wrong with 50 YEARS A POLITICIAN

    Yet, after 50 years as a politician, Biden is still a more decent man than Trump ever will be. A leopard can't change its spots.

    I didn't write that "they have a great message" or that "all will be" watching the RNC to "hear all the lies." So, no, I didn't mean that. I guess I was giving you too much credit. My mistake.

    *Edited for clarity.

    I think they've done a great job at orchestrating and lining up the speakers each night. There almost seemed to be a theme for each. And last night's was all about Christianity, compassion and empathy. I, too, thought he did incredibly well. Trump is going to have to come up with a better label than 'incompetent', or 'sleepy', or 'losing it' when describing Joe. And he's in for a big surprise come debate time.

    Biden couldn't tell you what day it is, likes China more than the US, since China hired his son.

    Which alt facts are you referring to? Muh Rushan Clooshin? MSNBC, CNN, The NYT, Washington Compost, and other liberal outlets preached the Muh Rushan Clooshun hoax for 4 years, despite that it has been debunked over and over and over. Misinformation indeed - coming from the left.

    The movies, TV, comics, video games and other media which appeals to so many of us *IS* dark, *IS* nihilistic...and it's poisoning our view of ourselves as a nation. We have to stop listening to these whining negativity-artists. We cannot and must not afford to think we'll lose, getting back on our feet after COVID.

    If by decent you mean a self-enriching fan of China and Ukrainian fraud that sells the US out for foreigners and likes to sniff young girls' hair, and has dementia.

    Especially the cameo of the "influential community leader" that had served time for the rape and torture of a man, leaving the murdered victim to decompose in a trunk.

    Classic Democrat.

    I'm happy to see you are so invested in the DNC!

    Yes, you are correct about her past incarceration. She doesn't deny that. She was released after serving 27 years of that sentence, subsequently earned a bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science and a master’s degree in English from Mercy College, and now works as an activist, public speaker, and community health advocate for Mt. Sinai St. Luke’s.

    So my question - after someone has paid their debt to society, are they to be written off forever? Does the second act of their life mean nothing?

    No, don't write them off. But writing them off is a far different way of looking at it. She wasn't written off - she was elevated to liberal example.

    Pretty poor.

    Good thing you don't support the DNC then, isn't it?

    I suspect far more democrats will watch the RNC convention looking for something to be upset about live on social media than there were republicans who watched the DNC convention.
