That oughta be a real juicy moment in the Snoozefest. Hopefully Patricia does most of the talking because she's clearly the nuttier of the two.

CNN is going ga-ga over Michelle Obama's Convention speech. It also explained that Michelle recorded it before Harris was named as VP which is why Harris wasn't mentioned in the speech. While it was a good and very well done speech, it wasn't "flawless" as some have claimed.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/18/politics/michelle-obama-convention-speech/index.html
Former first lady Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention was not just a powerful condemnation of President Donald Trump's record and handling of the pandemic, it was an appeal aimed at the heart and conscience of every American who has watched the chaos of the last four years and yearned to make things right.

Reprising her role as "the closer" -- this time for former Vice President Joe Biden on the convention's opening night -- Obama spoke as the wife of a former President who has seen "the immense weight and awesome power" of the presidency up close. She spoke as a mother trying to teach empathy and instill "a strong moral foundation" in her daughters. And she spoke as an American pained "to see so many people hurting" at a time when the coronavirus has claimed more than 170,000 lives in the US and cast millions into unemployment.

On a night when many convention speakers, including four Republicans, tried to convince Americans of all political persuasions that they should choose country over party, Obama urged them to choose right over wrong, reminding her audience that she hates politics and asked all of her listeners to "close out the noise and the fear" and open their hearts. Those who do that, she said, "know that what's going on in this country is just not right."

Yup. Mooch couldn't even do a quick edit to her mailed in Schtruggle speech to include a couple of nods to Shamala. The whole event was prerecorded.

So you would not protect your home from protesters? And you call yourself a Texan.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

So you would not protect your home from protesters? And you call yourself a Texan.

Absolutely I would and my weapon would be fully functional and loaded.

OTOH, I wouldn't be in the open, uncovered and waving my weapon around like a fucking moron. I'd take cover on the porch. If attacked, I'd shoot and if I shoot, I'd shoot to kill. My wife has been taught the same lessons. These two fucking lawyers make all law abiding gun owners look like fucking morons. Worse, the far right makes these idiots Goddamn heroes.

Why would you think these two fucking idiots deserve such praise?

 

[Into the Night]

Yup, just like Trump is a Neo-Nazi pointy-hat wearing Klan Wizard. You betcha!

Nope. Trump is conservative. He is not a socialist.

 

[Hawkeye10]

WOW, even the far Left Politico is calling the first night boring.

 

[Hawkeye10]

Nope. Trump is conservative. He is not a socialist.

Though some socialists support him because the failed elites are an existential threat to America.

Ebola wasn't contagious.

Yes it is.

"What's more, Ebola is much less contagious than many other more common diseases. The virus, much like HIV or hepatitis, is spread through blood or bodily fluids and is not airborne."

True, but still greater than zero. Ebola is contagious, just not particularly so.

You've had this pointed out to you before. There is NO comparison between the two. Quit trying to make one.

This is true.

Covid19 is a respiratory virus, just all all the other Covid and SARS related viruses, influenza series viruses, and rhinovirus series viruses. Quite a few have killed more and infected more than Covid19, yet the economy was not locked down, and mass paranoia induced by the news media did not take place. We didn't all wear masks either. All of these viruses are airborne. Masks do not stop any of them.

UV light, certain chemicals, and the immune system destroys all of these viruses.

 

[Into the Night]

WOW, even the far Left Politico is calling the first night boring.

Oh, I don't think so. Trump's speech in Wisconsin was quite good.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Oh, I don't think so. Trump's speech in Wisconsin was quite good.

What struck you the most in what he said?

 

[Into the Night]

Not even close. He is a blue collar guy.

Biden??? A career politician of 47 years??? WTF??????

He is the equivalent of white bread, and that's what America wants right now.

An apt description of his brain during one his gaffs. Yes...American can certainly use the humor provided by Biden, but not as President.

Comfort food. Not chaos.

Non-sequitur fallacy.

The socialism tag isn't sticking.

Yes it is. Biden is a socialist, like you.

No one but the rabid base even mentions it.

You don't get to speak for everyone. You only get to speak for you.

Trump has no agenda other than to attack and divide.

You are describing the Democrats. Inversion fallacy. Trump, meanwhile, has reduced taxes and regulations, successfully renegotiated NAFTA, successfully forced China to the bargaining table, has upgraded and added a new and very effective wall to along the Mexican border, limiting the illegals that cross there, and routing those that do into the waiting hands of the border patrol, is successfully prosecuting vandals that want to destroy statues, created the biggest economy in the United States ever, is doing it AGAIN despite Democrat fear mongering of Covid19, exposed the fake news for what it is, and exposed liars like you for what you are.

In normal times, that can be effective.

Oh yes. The Oracle in sociology and politics speaks.

Autocrats use fear of the other.

Like you are doing right now?

In this case, the 'other' is the virus, and Trump has proven he can't handle it.

He did. Liars like you denied it as a potential problem long after Trump first acted.

His campaign has no message.

Not even ostriches bury their head in the sand. You do.

 

[Into the Night]

Dyam, boy! You just proved what 30 years of science-denying produces.

Ebola is not only contagious but has a fatality rate of about 50%.

There is not statement in your own link that says Ebola isn't contagious: What's more, Ebola is much less contagious than many other more common diseases. The virus, much like HIV or hepatitis, is spread through blood or bodily fluids and is not airborne.

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/ebola-virus-disease

• The average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. CasKey facts
• Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a rare but severe, often fatal illness in humans.
• The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission.
• The average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks.
• Community engagement is key to successfully controlling outbreaks.e fatality rates have varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks.

Ebola is not science. It's a virus.

Trump said Obama should resign even when only two people died from e bola.

Also, until recently on this very board, Deplorables complained about Obama's handling of the 2009 H1N1 flu virus. Which killed 12,000 people over it's entire cycle. Compared to what is happening now, in hindsight it looks like Obama's response to H1N1 and e. bola were reasonably successful.

I chalk it up to having a president who trusts science and scientific expertise

Ebola is not science. It's a virus. H1N1 is not science. It's a virus.
You deny science.

 

[Into the Night]

A follow up: last spring your merry band of Deplorables were saying COVID was no worse than the common cold, the risk it posed was a Democratic hoax, and face masks were for wimps.

That is quite a pivot for you to tacitly imply that the risk of COVID is now recognized as an extreme national health threat

Masks do not stop a virus.
6 feet does not stop a virus.
Shutting down the economy except for what is considered 'essential' does not stop a virus and is unconstitutional. See Amendment 14 and the various State constitutions.

I don't expect it will be a WOODSTOCK POP FESTIVAL!

I don't expect it to be the ACADEMY AWARDS presentation.

Nor do I expect it to be a STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY!

Nor do I expect it to be a HILLARY HATEFEST LIKE THE RNC carried out back in 2016 either!

Now if you are expecting the DNC to be that kind of entertainment for yourself, I would skip it, as it don't really apply to you!

I watched the first night, and probably will watch the 4th night, and will skip the middle two.

What I saw did not bore me, nor did it upset me or disappoint me in any way.

But then I just have normal expectations of what a DNC would be during a national Crisis caused by a REPUBLICAN CROOKED PRESIDENT like this one!

It's really awesome that you know that fact, Into. Truly.

Like the Republican one next week, the majority of it is a snoozefest; a bunch of ra-ra go-team busllshit. The specific statements made by key people are interesting along with the general sentiment since it indicates where they want to go.

Electing Biden and Harris is no big deal to me, but knowing that the fucking Democrats might pull a hat trick out of this scares the shit out of me. The Republicans really need to get their shit together. If they can't, then they get what they deserve.

Why do you think most nations favor their citizens wearing masks during a pandemic?

The Republicans won't get their shit together- BECAUSE THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH DONALD TRUMP!

Most Republicans are still drunk on Donald Trump's miracle win in 2016. Still drunk enough to shove all of their chips out on the table, and let Donnie Run for the next hand and just check to the power!

Hey why not?- right?

I just say may the best man win!

I will speak out if the DNC turns out to be just a Donald Trump hate festival. That is never in good taste. That would be below the Democrats!

So far, people were just displaying their sincere emotions about needing change- and I believe they were honest about why they felt that way.

The only criticism of Donald Trump I heard over and over again was just the truth how Trump let the virus run away with itself while he was only thinking of himself and trying to win the 2020 election. I mean that was pretty obvious right? I don't blame the Democrats for trying to keep things simple, real, and honest.

THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF OTHER THINGS THEY COULD HAVE BROUGHT UP TO DOG TRUMP AND BLAME HIM FOR- but they didn't!

WHY- BECAUSE THAT IS DAMN REASON ENOUGH, ON IT'S OWN, TO VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE!

But I do expect the RNC to be a FULL BLOWN DEMOCRAT HATE FEST- just a repeat of the 2016 RNC CLOWN SHOW!

If in case you don't remember that one- IT'S all on youtube. Go get you a taste of what is to be expected from them there!

It's as predictable as stink on shit! LOL!
