heh, just posted in the other thread:

hmm, a former prominent congressman who talks to Kasichā€¦my moneyā€™s on my old pot-growing, chain-smoking, bourbon-drinking, hometown speaker of the house, John Boehner.

He is the one who gave me my Air Force Academy nomination. I think he was in his 2nd term at that point? Even back then, he had the ā€œslimy politicianā€ vibe, but Iā€™ll give credit where itā€™s due, he treated his academy nominees well. Had nice receptions for us on winter break, always willing to write letters of recommendation, always kept in touch. I wonder if heā€™d remember me now.

Maybe sampling his product has mellowed him out.

I might not get to watch tomorrow night, but will be tuning in the rest of the nights.

Everything was prerecorded, I think, except maybe some live shit on Thursday(?) so theyā€™ll probably edit it together telethon style, heh

Prob Joe Scarborough. Maybe David Jolly

Gotta build coalitions with Republicans

Itā€™s probably Joe Lieberman.

Iā€™m not going to be able to watch tonight unfortunately. One of my cousins is singing the national anthem with other youth choirs so itā€™s the only time Iā€™d ever care about that song too.

Iā€™ll probably rely on this thread if Iā€™m able to follow along live, so if Riverman wants a break from live blogging trump rallies he can live blog an LolDem rally.

Day 1 musical acts on the schedule. I know nothing about them. Are they going to get people to tune in?

Maggie Rogers

Leon Bridges

No performances on the schedule for Day 2. Day 3 has:

Billie Eilish

Jennifer Hudson

Day 4 features:

The Dixie Chicks

Iā€™m hoping for her or someone else as a big name surprise on Day 2. There are only seven speakers listed, plus a keynote address and something called ā€œRoll Call Across Americaā€.

this is going to be HUGE! i am SO HYPED!

Democrats kick off their convention on Monday in a mood of cautious optimism, with Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.), leading Trump and Vice President Pence by 53 percent to 41 percent among registered voters. The findings are identical among a larger sample of all voting-age adults.

this plus the usual convention bump will lead us into biden +25 before the republican convention, who have the message of ā€˜keep america greatā€™ during a botched pandemic response and economic collapse. things are looking good! HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE

Whitman pictured here frisking a black 16 y/o while she was governor of NJ. She went on a ride along with cops, who stopped and frisked this kid and let the governor get some feels in for a campaign photo. They found nothing illegal during the search.

According to her wiki, she also talked about black people competing with each other to have kids out of wedlock.

Seems like a good and cool choice!

Maybe thatā€™s why he was invited.

It canā€™t be mentioned enough that all these Republicans coming out in support of Biden is a massive indictment on him.

Yeah Meg Whitman is the speaker that irritated me the absolute most. Iā€™m honesty probably not going to watch this to avoid emotional EV of watching Meg Whitman speak for 60+ seconds at the convention while AOC gets literally one minute.

These people are terrified of voters hearing AOC. And when I say ā€˜these peopleā€™ I mean the entire establishment. Iā€™m getting really tired of these old people getting to decide who gets the really big megaphone.

The only redeeming thing about this moment is that sheā€™s insanely young and has 30+ years to make her mark. At least thatā€™s what I keep reminding myself.

Mitt Romney gonna support Biden

Dem Convention or NBA Playoffs?
