Is LOLBoehner best bet here? Will AOC make the most of her 60 seconds? Will Yang make the most of his 120 seconds(?) Will LOLBiden get out of his Corvette? Will CCPZoom handle the network traffic? Democrat stars and celebrities, what do they know? Do they know things? Lets find out! 8/17-8/20!
hmm, a former prominent congressman who talks to Kasichā¦my moneyās 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 āslimy politicianā vibe, but Iāll give credit where itās 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 heād remember me now.
Iām not going to be able to watch tonight unfortunately. One of my cousins is singing the national anthem with other youth choirs so itās the only time Iād ever care about that song too.
Iāll probably rely on this thread if Iām able to follow along live, so if Riverman wants a break from live blogging trump rallies he can live blog an LolDem rally.
Iām 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 āRoll Call Across Americaā.
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 ākeep 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.
Yeah Meg Whitman is the speaker that irritated me the absolute most. Iām 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 āthese peopleā I mean the entire establishment. Iām 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 sheās insanely young and has 30+ years to make her mark. At least thatās what I keep reminding myself.
