I should follow it. Considering I'm a registered democrat. I'll look at the platform I guess. I bet it doesn't say anything about the fallen economic hopes of working Americans or how to raise them for everybody, or either of my 2 priorities: concrete drastic action on global warming, and preventing nuclear war.

And if democrats don't do any different, how are they any better?

Funny that 1kiki and Signym both made the same fake claim to being registered democrats on the same day. You are registered Russian trolls. Here is Signym's "claim": www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=63800&mid=1108363#

And as for your "priorities", the Democratic Platform has it covered. Funny about how the GOP is doing the opposite of your priorities. Nuclear Weapons Treaties have been cancelled or are about to expire. One trillion dollars is being spent on newer nukes with shiny paint jobs. And all the rules about lower methane and CO2 have been thrown in the garbage can by Trump. That's his priority.

No, you are incorrect: www.businessinsider.com/trump-tweets-conspiracies-obama-dnc-speech-pre
sidency-reality-show-2020-8

Former President Barack Obama took the spotlight at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday to deliver a forceful rebuke of President Donald Trump.

And it appears Trump was watching.

"HE SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GOT CAUGHT!" the president tweeted at 10:33 p.m. ET, as Obama's pre-recorded speech was playing at the DNC.

Trump's tweet came shortly after Obama said his successor has shown "no interest in treating the presidency as anything more than one more reality show he can use to get the attention he craves."

"Donald Trump hasn't grown into the job because he can't. And the consequences of that failure are severe."

Trump and his allies have long accused the Obama administration and senior officials at the FBI and Justice Department of inappropriately "spying" on Trump's 2016 campaign. However, a sweeping investigation by the Justice Department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, uncovered no evidence that Obama officials or the FBI spied on Trump.

Obama didn't mince words on Wednesday as he skewered Trump's botched response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The US currently has the highest number of positive cases — about 25% of the worldwide total — despite having just 4% of the world's population.

"170,000 Americans dead," Obama said. "Millions of jobs gone, while those at the top take in more than ever. Our worst impulses unleashed, our proud reputation around the world badly diminished, and our democratic institutions threatened like never before."

The former president tore into Trump and Republicans — without directly naming them — for spreading misinformation about voting by mail and taking steps to make it more difficult for people to vote.

Signym, you can't be insulted because you don't exist in solid form. And 6ix is a jellyfish, scared to leave the house for groceries because some wandering Democrat might terrorize him. If Trump loses, there will be no one to protect 6ix, even in theory. Who knows what harm 6ix might do to himself without Trump in the White House? 6ix will be fearful, nervous, and lonesome, cut off from the life. For 6ix's mental health, Trump has to win.

Oh yeah, they've done a magnificent job showing America what they're all about … riots, anarchy, looting, and burning everything down.

Joe Biden Nailed It Down
After four days celebrating his empathy, the Democratic nominee showed he can make a crisp speech.

Jim Newell: Julia! The Democratic National Convention is over and though the party leaders are spread throughout remote locations across the country, I am pretty sure I heard their loud “PHEW” from inside my home. Joe Biden crisply and articulately delivered his speech accepting the Democratic nomination, a whole 25 minutes that went by without any of the elderly mental fumbles that the Trump campaign had been hoping for. What did you make of Biden’s speech?

Julia Craven: I really liked it! And I’m not someone who is impressed by political speeches. I don’t think it was an outstanding oration but I do think it was effective and he delivered it really well through appropriate vocal tone shifts. He was confident. You got the sense that he’s a well-seasoned politician, something we ain’t really seeing too much of these days.

During an interview with Donald Trump Jr., even Fox News' Laura Ingraham acknowledged that Biden “delivered a good speech.” Without a shred of irony, Don Jr. responded by attacking Biden’s children for cashing in on their father’s public office, an attack that highlighted how the Trump campaign is still struggling to land a punch on Biden. Is Don Jr always on some type of upper? Cocaine. Definitely cocaine.

Meanwhile, Trump retreated from accusing Biden of being unable to talk to telling people to not believe what he’s saying.

I guess they woke Joe Biden woke up from his 24-hour nap, dragged him out of his crypt, pumped up his Aricept, dialed in his L-dopa, and shoved him in front of the camera.

Good work, guys!

It's amazing what meds will do!

*****

BTW, I DID attempt to listen to his speech, but after about 5 minutes I just couldn't stand the bullshit anymore. Biden is one corrupt guy, as is his son, and used his position as VP to milk Ukraine for a hundred million dollars, if not more. And, btw, threatened to cut off the USA money supply if they didn't stop the investigation into Burisma, which would have cut off his family's payola.

I don't listen to politicians. I don't pay attention to Trump's tweets and I DEFINITELY don't listen to political speeches. They're all lying; you won't get anything of value from listening except to learn what lies they think will work on you. It's pointless, like paying attention to advertising.

If you want to know what a politician will do, just pay attention to what they've DONE. Don't expect ANYONE to suddenly reform. Biden will be satisfied to run the WH like a pay-to-play operation while somebody else determines policy. That's what he did as VP, that's what he did as Senator, why expect anything different?

Will the Republicans try to copy the Democrats' warm, intimate convention? Or will they let Trump be Trump?

www.businessinsider.com/gop-attack-joe-biden-old-senile-mental-capacit
y-mistake-2020-8

Trump has a big problem next week, and it will be fascinating to see him try to solve it.

The strange and extremely moving Democratic convention upended our sense of what a convention is and did it way better than almost anyone expected. The traditional televised convention is a raucous, high-energy, mongo affair of crazy costumes, shouting, and pageantry. The traditional convention is delightful for the people in the room and mostly repellent for viewers at home. Who wants to watch on TV a very shouty party that you weren't invited to?

The Democrats' COVID-19 convention solved this problem almost too well. They chose intimacy and authenticity. Again and again over the four nights, they gave us regular people in their own homes, towns, and states, often via the crumminess of a Zoom connection. It was four nights of awkward pauses and unflattering camera angles. Yet this heartfelt, intimate clumsiness made a persuasive case that Joe Biden is a decent, warm human being. This reached its zenith with the gripping, stuttering speech of 13-year-old Brayden Harrington, which was just about the most effective presidential endorsement I've ever seen.

All the most powerful moments from politicians, too, came through quiet direct address rather than the grandiloquent pomposity that's required for a speech to a packed convention hall. Both Obamas, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, the seven defeated Biden rivals in a Zoom group chat — they all created warmth and connection by being low-key rather than loud. And on Thursday night, Biden did the same: Though he gave his acceptance speech in a hall, he made it small, personal, and direct. (It's not surprising that the weakest speech of the week, Kamala Harris', had the most trappings of a convention-hall address.)

So, the problem! Trump feeds on the energy of the rally and the adulation of supporters. And his supporters feed on his anger and melodrama. It's a very effective feedback loop, and it works amazingly well with crowds.

The Trump campaign faces a daunting task next week. Can it figure out how to translate Trump's hammy, theatrical big-room energy to the new medium? Intimacy repels Trump, and so far his pandemic-era presidential campaign hasn't figured out how to downscale.

But don't assume it won't by next week. Trump's team had a chance to watch the Democrats and will try to ape the DNC's best ideas. And Trump is a phenomenal TV communicator. So maybe they will figure it out. —DP

Joe Biden Sex Assault Accuser Tara Reade Rips DNC, Says She Would ‘Absolutely’ Speak at RNC

https://thefederalistpapers.org/us/biden-sex-assault-accuser-tara-read
e-rips-dnc-says-absolutely-speak-rnc

Quote:
Could Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s sexual assault accuser be speaking at the GOP convention next week? In an appearance on Fox News on Thursday — the same day Biden gave his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention — Tara Reade said she would “absolutely” speak at the Republican convention, adding that she would be “more than happy to do so.”
“I think survivors need a voice, and I would be humbled and honored to help raise and lift that voice if that’s possible,” Reade said.
In the interview, the self-described “lifelong Dem” said sexual assault should be a “nonpartisan issue.”
“What I find really astounding has been the hypocrisy around the sexual assault."

I think Tara Reade will have more of an impact sitting in the front row during the debates. Biden will see his rape victim there and his big fleshy empty head will explode. Hi-lar-i-ous!
