Part VI -The Democratic National Convention

Woohoo, OP

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Let’s go!

Gretchen is a hottie!

link to the previous thread:

Previous thread... (Part 5)

My bet is the special guest is Beanie Feldstein.

Adam!

Love the green tie.

Jesus Christ, when the hell does Kamala speak? 12:30?

Adam has such a sweet ass....

Matching TATS, Adam.

I'm here for him dragging Trump, Vance, and the dregs of the Republican party.

So hot.

And that, ladies and gents and everything in between, is an actual patriot.

[quote] Any Intel on why Gavin didn't get a speaking slot?

He's not that great?

Adam K. has Beady eyes and they're quite close together.

Neuro-Divergent?

I wonder if Aaron and Adam ever found man love in the locker room.

Here’s her sister, so we’re getting close!

Man, her sister is also gorgeous.

They really hit the genetic powerball.

I love Maya’s suit.

Great color!

Agreed, R17.

Where's Lizsha?

Coming up:

Roy Cooper

Then the lady herself!!

Is Doug speaking before Kamala?

Adam Kinzinger is cute even though he wears those dress shoes with sneaker soles.

GURRRRRL, ..... Maya you are NO Michelle Obama.

Give it up, gurl.

Adam K looks like he put on the Freshman 15 this summer.

What happened to the surprise mystery guest?

R26: IT WAS EVA ALL ALONG!!!

Yeah, the sister is very pretty, but she's not a great public speaker. Go away now and get to Kamala already.

Cooper is a handsome daddy

R20 Replaced by Joyce DeWitt. She's the surprise guest. She will come out tapping and singing "New York, New York".

Cooper is introducing Kamala.

Maybe the guys is Cooper?

The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Beyonce was never scheduled to attend...?

GUEST. Jesus.

R34: Que?

Maybe Bey will sing Freedom as Kamala walks out

Maya needs to drop the hood-speak.

It comes across as fake and trying too hard.

She was raised by an Indian mother, so I know that Maya and Kamala weren't raised to speak hood.

Just be yourself!

Well then who the hell is the surprise guest?

Looks like they wanted to make sure Kamala's speech got into prime time tonight.

Leon Panetta.

Cooper looks like a clean-shaven, well shorn Jeff Bridges.

Would have been weaker than Walz as a running mate.

[quote] Well then who the hell is the surprise guest?

Her dead mother, Rose!!!

Oakland was the hood, R37.

Maya graduated Stanford law. I figured they’d get intensive speech coaching. Guess not

Gwen Walz must have taken lipstick advice from Gretchen Whitmer.

So who's introducing her?

This Cooper guy is kind of a weak opener.

This ASL guy is killing it!

Ok darlin', do your thing.

[quote] singing "New York, New York".

Hey that'sh my shong!

Maya really has her eye on the White House dining table - for Thanksgiving dinner, 2025. She'll praise her sister all week long - just give her a seat at the table.

R44, there is no such thing in law school.

I'm not heartbroken over the Bey news.

So there's no guest?

Will she wear a white suit??

I got no hook speak from Maya. The only problem is Shapiro doing Obama. Why he wasn't picked!

Don’t tell me they dangled a surprise guest just to get people to tune in.

Good grief.

Cooper is ok looking but Adam Kinzinger looks like he can fuck

Cooper is fine. But an odd lead-in

Is it inconceivable that the surprise guest comes on after Kamal's speech to bring an even bigger finish to the week?

R43 listen to Maya speaking in this video intro.

She's speaking normally in this video.

Perfect example of code-switching.

Is Pink's they/them child non binary or no labels?

You need to kick that fucking door down.

I think it's good that the elevated mood is brought down a bit before VP Harris.

That way she can build it up by her own words and presence.

Flopyoncé in 3, 2…

Surprise! There is no guest!

“Kick that fucking door down.”

KAMALA!!!!

Does the choice of Cooper as lead-in mean that the campaign is gunning for NC?

Here she is!

Maybe it's Jesus. His sense of time has always been a little different.

[quote]Perfect example of code-switching.

Perfect example of pandering.

If you are running for President you really don't want a bigger star upstaging you on your big night.

IT WAS KAMALA ALL ALONG!!!!

Yes, r69

I heard it's Bush walking on stage with Taylor amd Bey!!

She should have worn green....

Wearing navy blue.

New ASL person.

She’s very excited.

That's it? She looks like she wandered out on stage looking for her glasses and ended up at the podium.

Her hair looks fabulous. Love the color and highlights.

Ella crying

All navy - I would've liked to have seen that broken up with an ivory or white/cream camisole underneath. But her makeup is ON POINT. Hair perfect as usual.

She should have worn more color.

She took no chances with her choice of suit color.

I get the necessity of that but I'm a bit disappointed.

She looks terrific.

I’m surprised the roof hasn’t blown off.

This is astonishing.

We are back.

Doug is anxious for her

Wow, Kamala’s brother in law is handsome.

Did she wear green the last time?

I’m verklempt

WHAT is with the weird gold-brown colored carpeted background behind her? Who chose that?

So, no surprise?

[quote]Is Pink's they/them child non binary or no labels?

I think she's just tomboyish, like Pink is. The girl is only 11 or 12.

It's actually JFK Jr back from the dead.

Doug Emhoff looks like Ed Koch.

I am loving it all but the “USA! USA! USA!” just makes me think MAGA and Trump rallies.

Aww, fuck.

Shout out to Dougie.

I’m gonna start crying again

I think Beyoncé's coming out to sing "Freedom" during the balloon drop.

I think she looks great in dark blue against the gold background.

I think Beyonce is there to come out and sing "Freedom" after her speech - agree with r100.

While I'm a little disappointed in the navy suit perhaps signaling business as usual is the right choice.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but I heard that Terri Gibbs was spotted at O'Hare earlier this evening.

I won’t be surprised if R100 is right.

We are reclaiming that R98

Yeah, it would be insane to have the speech follow Beonc

That navy suit is gorgeous - looks expensive af.

Like that guy in Jurassic Park said, "This suit cost more than your education."

I’ve never seen Doug cry before. The stakes are so high.

She's a stunner.

[quote]I am loving it all but the “USA! USA! USA!” just makes me think MAGA and Trump rallies.

You think they should chant PERU! PERU! PERU! instead?

Great smile, confident body language. She's locked in!

She looks stunning; that navy blue looks great on her. Brings out her golden skin tone.

So I assume this special guest is after her speech?

R111 I can't stop laughing!

Run, Kamala!

RUN!

Okay, stories about found family always make me cry.

I can’t wait to vote for her.

The conversational tone of her speech is brilliant.

Though I hope and expect it will become more fierce and powerful as she goes along.

Dump is watching this and that mushroom is now up beside his pancreas.

Enough a.ready, who gives a fuck about anybody else at this moment. She’s the one for this moment.

Nobody else is important at this time except her.

R98 I disagree. MAGATs and right wingers have totally appropriated patriotism and the flag. Time to take those back.

She said ASS!

[quote]You think they should chant PERU! PERU! PERU! instead?

Si se puede!

She is such a fucking star! Confidence, radiance, warmth, feminine and beautiful but there is no bullshit, nothing cloying.

She’s got it.

It's possible that shirt and suit is Ralph Lauren. He offers those tied bow shirts.

A wonderfully humane speech.

Kamala Harris for the people.

It's going to be Heather Locklear. She's going to give the closing prayer.

So no appearance that would constitute a surprise yet? I've been out tonight. Watching KH now.

Kamala is absolutely luminous tonight. What a complete badass. Boy did I have her pegged wrong. Those insane 2020 primary debates didn't allow me to know her. But I have been blown the fuck AWAY by Kamala Harris - her swagger, her team spirit - since then. And this feels like a fucking religious movement happening around Kamala. But not a cult. Just a spiritual revival tent vibe, where you feel connection to a Higher Power and to the highest vibrations of the human experience, like love, empathy, hope, honesty, oneness, and unity. Fucking A, this is some powerful shit.

We used to call them pussy bows, r125.

Pussy bow!

She's honing in on the women's vote. Is she going to talk policy?

Ella is looking very nice tonight

Thank GOD they got her live onscreen before 11 PM eastern time. Good job DNC.

If she is the first woman to be President, she’s going set a very high bar for all the women who come after her.

Yes, R69, the party is more bullish about their chances in NC than it is about Arizona.

Gwen Walz is in tears!

She can talk about whatever the fuck she wants!

Also, she's close friends with Cooper, yes?

I feel like I know Kamala's life story better than I know my own.

And come November, I am going to vote for the strongest, most driven, most successful woman whoever walked this earth:

KAMALA'S MOTHER (dead or alive).

[quote]I heard it's Bush walking on stage with Taylor amd Bey!!

Kate Bush? I would swoon!

[quote]Gwen Walz is in tears!

That's her default.

Cut to Pelosi in the crowd, looking bitchy. We all know she wasn't your plan, Nancy. Deal with it.

R132 She already has the women's votes.

Great fucking line about trust.

R132, I don’t get it. Do we not know what she stands for? Do we not know where Dems stand? How about Dump? Leave the policy talk on the websites. This isn’t the time.

They need to wheel out Jimmy Carter’s bed for the finale.

Who is the woman sitting to Gavin Newsom's left?

R143 It's time for Nancy to butt out.

R140: That's Mother Harris to you!!!

She's rocking this.

Maybe you ought to just head to bed, meemaw R146.

The calm, conversational tone is so not to startle anybody tuning in for the first time see what she's all about.

Most viewers right now aren't like us political junkies.

She is introducing herself to them.

She’s launching into Julia Sugarbaker terminator mode!

R141, I could go for Kate Bush twirling around to "Wow".

I love Biden, but, God, it’s an amazing feeling to listen to her and not be afraid that she’s going to choke.

I think it will be Janelle Monae. There's never been an event that bitch hasn't shown up to.

She's systematically taking all the Republican points away from them (crime, security, etc.).

This is a very well crafted speech.

Drag him Kamala. Fuckin drag him.

Have you all just COMPLETELY lost your maaahnds?

Reading fat orange for filth!

I don’t want to imagine that, dear LADY.

If a badass prosecutor can't beat Dump, then we are doomed.

She giving Trump his last rites.

I adore her and TIm, and I feel like I can breathe for the first time since 2015. It finally feels like the MAGA nightmare is over.

Fortunately she can and will r165

Are those Gaza bitches yelling in the background?

Kamala I'm sure I don't need to tell you this but just as a reminder dump Merrick Garland as AG. I'd like to see Jack Smith in that position but who am I to say.

AND THAT MARJORIE….

Kamala is CALLING HIM OUT.

Speak the truth, lady.

Speak that truth.

Get her, Jade

Nancy is on her very short runway of power. The younger, stronger politicians are the way.

Trump cannot be looking forward to debating this nasty woman.

Headstart!!!!

Woohoo. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Re: R163: "Where's Hunter?"

Pathetic. If I was such a pathetic garbage old bitch, I'd off myself.

You want a big name ? Forget Beyonce and Taylor.

Get Chapell Roan there to perform after Kamala - she will win everyone over.

And to think that one month ago people were so negative about this next election on Datalounge, and look at the way since turned out to be.

Unlike many here I was always pro Kamala. I knew this was coming.

Not

Going

Back!

Damn she’s good. I don’t know how someone can walk onto that stage and deliver a speech as smoothly as this in front of all those people. It’s like I’m watching an actress in a great movie, she’s so sharp.

Kamala wasn't Pelosi's first choice to replace Biden ? Who was then ?

This is where her AG skills come in VERY handy.

Slap him, Kamala-Wilona!!

[quote]"Where's Hunter?"

Where was Melania?

R162 HAHAHAHA those tweets are so FUCKING low energy and pathetic, even for Dump.

Gavin, R182.

Opportunity Economy! Good, put a name on it. More of this stuff.

This is a come to Jesus moment we are witnessing.

God, I can't wait for her to debate Shitler!

Maybe the hottie Newsome?

You can see why the national Republican Party feared her rise & tried valiantly to stop her in her exceedingly close race for AG in 2010.

Tim! Bring me the AX!

Is Cole there?

Good thing Nancy was thwarted on that.

Well played, Joe. You outfoxed her.

LMAO

Opportunity economy has been used in other convention speeches. It must be testing very well.

Kamala's father is still alive, I figured he had passed, never hear about him.

She’s terrific, thrilling.

And this is a bandwagon everyone is going to want to get on, in contrast to the sinking old wreck that is the Trump campaign.

That's my ex-Senator and Attorney General!

[quote]Is Cole there?

Next to his sister, next to his wife.

Pelosi wanted an open convention for about 12 hours. To avoid the appearance of a coronation. Everything went better than anyone could have imagined so Pelosi dropped that idea and endorsed her. There’s no feud there. Nancy wants to win. The old girl is orgasming right now.

Hunter appeared after Biden's speech on Monday. Poor befuddled Trump needs to catch up.

Maybe Carly Simon will come out to sing "You're So Vain" to Donald.

She’s quoting him and reading him for the filth that he is!

She has to win so that the MAGA movement can die.

She’s such a boss. No wonder Orange is so disgruntled about having to face her.

I got off of work early and was lucky to catch Kamala speaking, and goddamit, I teared up when she said, "I accept your nomination". She's got O's swag, but is more approachable (some people thought he was a little too cerebral, and that's how DT got the rubes by speaking to them at their level) . I will be proud to be an American again when she's president.

The camera keeps going to my ugly mayor from Providence.

“Simply put, THEY ARE OUT OF THEIR MINDS!”

Gavin crushing on her

Abort! Abort! Abort!

He’s scared. It’s delicious.

There's absolutely no proof out there that Nancy wasn't all in for Kamala.

Nancy is no fool.

She reminds me of Jackie Brown in that suit and I love it!

Will Dump back out of that debate now?

Will he just stop campaigning?

Will he flee to Russia? Saudi Arabia? Ivanka and Jared's condo?

AOC narced on what was being discussed behind closed doors and how they wanted to push Biden out and skip over Harris.

She released a video.

Nancy was one of the ones who wanted to skip over Harris

The MAGA movement won't die that quickly, R207.

There are too many Trump wannabes out there ready to take on his mantle. The far right white "Christian" nationalist movement isn't going to give up so quickly after spending a few decades getting as far as they have.

We'll have to keep fighting them.

Dump: "I have absolutely nothing to do with Project 2025"

The author would beg to differ, Donnie Two-Scoops.

Newsom is STILL spelled with one e, not two.

Why does the camera to the most un-telegenic, unattractive people?

I am feeling very good about all of this. I am very comfortable with her being POTUS. I am gonna work my ass off. Making phone calls and doing postcards. And you all need to go online, make sure your registered. FInd out what the deadline is f or registering, find out when Early Voting starts too. I am voting early. No absentee.

Can we fight about Nancy tomorrow? Tonight is so important. This is history.

I don't give a fuck what anybody wanted a few weeks ago. We are here, and it is glorious.

It's not that she's saying all the right things, it's that she's saying all the right things and you absolutely believe her.

r219, so who did Nancy push for in your video?

Ben Stiller, Charlize Theron?

[quote] Will he flee to Russia? Saudi Arabia? Ivanka and Jared's condo?

He was at the Mexican border today. He should think about escaping there tonight

YASSSSSS HUNTY DRAG HIM

I agree with R220, the White Christian Nationalist movement won't die off quickly if Harris wins. It will take at least a decade or more to reduce it.

I so want Jimmy Carter to be the surprise guest.

Melania quietly sitting in the corner of the ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, texting her lawyer to trigger the divorce proceedings immediately.

God damn this is a barn burner.

You're welcome to search for it, R228. AOC released it for us all to see what was going on.

I'm watching our next president speak.

Whoo, this is a tough thread she's trying to weave..

She seemed more emphatic talking about Gaza than those others.

The debates!! She’s going to eat him alive and his handlers know it.

She’d make a great commander in chief!

Kamala is gorgeous inside and out. Speech, flawless. Scratching every single itch.

R219 - Link please

THIS.

IS.

STRENGTH.

Women hate war which is reassuring.

She is brilliant.

My god this is the best speech ever!!!!!

This is fucking awesome.

Wow, she really is killing this speech.

My God, this woman is amazing. This is our next President, guys. 🇺🇸

Whoooooo gurl.

Kamala is going win.

Forceful! Passionate! This is wonderful!

This is history in the making, kids! Can you feel it? I've had chills the entire time this woman has been speaking.

HISTORY. RIGHT NOW.

Gavin does have a lovely profile.

Back to Kamala!

This makes it obvious how bad of a candidate Hillary really was in 2016. She could never pull off a speech this powerful and with this strong of a delivery.

Gloria Steinem will be the surprise guest.

My god, if Hillary had done this….

I take it back. Kamala has every single right to be our first female president.

Gavin Newsom looks depressed as he sees his presidential ambitions dying.

People like R231 are so weird and gross? Yasss Kween! is as annoying as yelling Bro! constantly. Pick up a dictionary, you fucking imbecile.

Masterful.

No way he shows up for the debate.

Interesting. Don Cheadle didn't stand up at the end of giving the Palestinians equal time, but Spike Lee did and was taking photos.

Nancy is crying.

No one has to fail for all of us to succeed.

I swear the camera did a closeup of Gavin's watch and jewelry.

Can anyone imagine Biden giving this kind of speech?

Kamala is one of a kind. Wow. Of course the NYTimes will find a way to diminish her for tomorrow's headline.

I agree, he won't show for the debate.

I hope Putin has a headache now.

This part is very John Kenndy-esque.

They must have kept the Sauvignon Blanc and Xanax locked up. She’s actually sober for once. She can’t wait to get done and hit the sauce.

She’s going to eat him for breakfast.

Pussy grabs back.

I bet they have a team of medical professionals right next to Trump at this very moment just in case there is a medical emergency with him after listening to this speech.

Why do I feel like Kamala is going to be the best fucking President we have ever had?

R264: 2 different styles. Cant't compare!

R262 …except ytpipo.

Pussy Power for 2024!

The privilege and pride of being an American!!

MADAM PRESIDENT.

This could not have been better written or better delivered.

It's the best political speech I've seen since Obama in 2008. Maybe superior to that.

Great closing.

She was fucking fabulous!!!!

Where are the balloons?

WOW what a finish!

Between women and young voters, she's got this. She'll get more than them also.

I love her so much!

MY. GOD.

Kamala WORKED IT OUT.

WOW

WOW

WOW

OMG

WOW

That speech will be in history books for years to come.

I need a cigarette after that.

I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it! We are actually going to win!

And we are going to get the best revenge any of us could ever have possibly hoped for! For all of it! For Hillary’s loss and most important, for the last eight years!

WOW!!!

Where did this woman come from???

I truly never expected this from Kamala Harris.

You couldn't ask for a better ticket. I love them all so much!

r273 That mostly depends on whether we can flip the House and retain the Senate. Otherwise, she'll be a lame duck one.

And yes, I fucking want REVENGE.

💙🏳️‍🌈💙🏳️‍🌈💙🏳️‍🌈💙🏳️‍🌈

The Republican Party just ridiculed the future VPs Child who has a disability.

What on earth makes you think they’re going to all vanquish once Harris is elected? A black woman?

The only way out of this is to render the Republican Party a minority in All branches of government.

Get to work

What a great speech!

I am so in love with Kamala.

[R270] moaning from the gutter: get up and wash off your filth.

BEAUTIFUL!

So who is the surprise guest!?

This is better than Obama 2008.

Hands down.

At least Hillary will be able to see the first female president.

NYT: Kamala Harris gave a thunderous acceptance speech. But diners at this Florida food court aren't so sure she wasn't stealing Donald Trump's tweets.

Flawless!

Poor, poor Defuckto. Another lonely weekend beckons. But, fuck that loser, this is worth celebrating!

R293 is right. If the Democrats don't have a majority in the House and Senate, we will hear a repeat of McConnell's watch cry after Obama was elected: "We have to make sure she's a 1 term President."

Where are the Walz kids?

Damn, lots of balloons!

I hope Putin pushes himself out a window, after this.

And fuck anyone who spread any twitter bullshit about a surprise.

GOD BLESS HER!

Ovaries of steel to pull that off with the world watching.

America is BACK, BITCHES

11 weeks, people.

Now it's our turn to do the work.

So no surprise guest? Yikes.

Hillary gave a widely praised speech in 2016 too…

R291 Oaktown baby!

A total home run!

Donald is somewhere ducking again, because shots were fired during that brilliant speech!

From whom, R307? The Senate Majority Leader will be Thune or Bat Boy or someone like that who can't herd the rest like McConnell could.

R315 works for the NYT.

Hillary could NEVER, R316. Just stop.

R316: And?

[quote] Pussy grabs back.

I want that on a t-shirt and a bumper sticker!!

I assume they determined the screams, the balloons, the stage would be too much for Gus and he's backstage with sister Hope.

Republican MAGAs go the way of the dinosaurs in 2024.

[QUOTE]Kamala's father is still alive, I figured he had passed, never hear about him.

He’s there on the stage with her now, R199.

Her uncle is there from India! Awww

You don’t need a McConnell. R321 A black female superior will have them all lining up in racist formation on day one.

My favorite convention yet. Proof that there are still a ton of cool-as-fuck people in this country.

We have taken back the Bible, the Flag, Unions, workers, the word "Patriot" and so much more this election. MAGA is left with their dicks in their hands and a 50 lb book about how to dismantle the country. Exposed as the frauds they are.

Mrs. Walz switched into mom mode and was trying to keep Kamala's nieces from being trampled as they ran around.

I'm trying to catch my breath somewhat.

This was history we just witnessed.

People mostly just seem shocked that TMZ got the surprise guest thing wrong.

[quote] Donald is somewhere ducking again, because shots were fired during that brilliant speech!

"Shits fired" as the DL phrases goes.

R270 unserious weirdo

Her father is emeritus prof at Stanford.

Her sister got knocked up in school, kept the baby and still graduated from Berkeley undergrad and Stanford law.

Trump on Fox.

"She could have done everything", "invasion", "Nice looking room", "She knows I have nothing to do with Project 2025.", "Nobody can borrow money", "Look, she's a Marxist",

That was Obama-level inspiring.

She’s setting standards for all future candidates, not just women.

CNN is actually having complimentary comments about her.

Marxist, Communist, Socialist oh my!!

He doesn’t know what any of those words mean

Rabbi is awesome.

R338 Yes the little girls are her GRAND nieces though Maya looks 35.

This is why it’s so important to pass the torch to younger generations.

R337 anyone who says “unserious” has a double digit IQ.

Hs hell frozen over, R341?? I'm sure NYT will make sure that the coverage is not all that positive. But, at least, we'll have Wordle.

[quote] CNN is actually having complimentary comments about her.

Dang you, I fell for it and switched over and that ass Scott Jennings was talking.

Great speech. She clearly laid out what her presidency will look like. She’s a transformational candidate. Go Kamala.

Rump is like a rich Archie Bunker

He’s gonna start meathead and commie-pinko

Good luck to her, I sure as shit wouldn't want that job.

Everything you all are saying. Kamala Harris was PHENOMENAL in this huge moment. ❤️ 🇺🇸 🙏🏼

[quote] I assume they determined the screams, the balloons, the stage would be too much for Gus and he's backstage with sister Hope.

Makes sense.

R344 the baby she had in high school grew up to graduate from Stanford undergrad and Harvard law.

She burnt that mofo to the GROUND!

Poor Captain Capslock. So triggered!

"Trump is so rattled that he keeps hitting the buttons on his phone while he’s talking"

The only person who spoke tonight who was NOT on the roster was Steph Curry

All the balloons popping makes it sound like a war zone in there.

Kamala slayed, wrapping up the week a WINNER

After the right wing attacks on Gus I doubt we will see much more of him.

F&F, R355.

TRIGGERED DUMP!

[quote]The MAGA movement won't die that quickly,

But they will fragment. I don't see anyone else out there that they would unite and rally behind like they have for Trump. He embodies what many of them aspire to be. And Trump isn't going to designate a successor. He's completely willing to take MAGA with him to his grave.

Fox damn near hung up on Trump, trying to interrupt him and get him off the phone.

Adjourned!

That was just astonishing. I almost don’t want to go to bed.

Sorry r349, it was right before him- all the commentators were positive. But he did throw her a bone at the beginning with "what she did right", and the black guy disagreed with Jenning's negative comments.

FF R364

R355: Do you also like Charlie Kirk? Do you want kiss him? Do you want to SEX him, ? Do you want rub your mushroom all over his fivehead, 355?

Someone's evening (and life) is not going well. Like R355's. Well, there's always a grease fire...

Wait a minute. They just let it slip that Rachel and the MSNBC gang are not actually in Chicago??

I hope she selects a cheerful WH china pattern.

This is the same feeling I feel after a great music festival -- TOTALLY, VIBRANTLY ALIVE. I don't want it to ever end.

Agree r366

This guy has the right attitude.

"Be the special guest you were waiting for."

She’s going to turn this country into California and not the good parts. Celebrate now, but if she wins we’re cooked. She is being installed and a coronation is taking place. She wasn’t even selected in the primary. History being made, indeed.

[quote] I hope she selects a cheerful WH china pattern.

We're going to call it JOY.

R355 unserious weirdo

[quote]but milk will be $27 a gallon, 911 won’t take calls, and migrants will be squatting in our houses after they beat our ass.

Shut your hysterical dipshit mouth.

Poor Boris at R381.

You are SO in the wrong place right now.

We are at level 100, and nothing you spew from your filthy hole will bring us down tonight!!!!!

Mrs. Buttegieg is on CNN!

I don't think we're going back, guys

Boo hoo R381!! I hear Putin's offering MAGA Americans a great deal to move to Russia!

R384 drink your Kool-Aid, Shelby!

Well, my goodness, aren't you a Bitter Betty r381.

I find it so odd that Trump just phones in to Fox. You’d think he’d have his own TV studio or Zoom set up.

Elsewhere it’s rare for any guests on TV to be on just a phone line.

R355 and R381 are WEIRD.

I already had R381 blocked, R390. I highly recommend it.

Hate me if you want, but screaming “YASSSS KWEEN!” at your iPad isn’t going to change the reality that will come if this communist wins.

R391, maybe Donald is in his pajamas and slippers nursing a double cheeseburger.

R381 and R355 would make great moving targets in Kursk region.

381 IS 355

I knew Kamala had it in her, but I’m stunned. She was fantastic!!

R396 is making violent threats.

R366 The Republican party will unite under racism like it did with Obama.

I don’t get why some of you are having such difficulty grasping this. F

Youngest and oldest delegates to the DNC, The young guy was in the Minnesota delegation and was jumping his ass off last night dancing in celebration.

R355 and R381 did you know that Putin is offering temporary VISAs to traitorous Americans wishing to "rebuke" American values?

Oh, sorry. I forgot.

You're already IN Russia.

R394: Go sex Ben Shapiro's squeaky ass, you whiny slut.

R391: Are you kidding? That fat bitch has no foundation, no bronzer, her hair is wrapped, she has her housecoast on.

Who the hell would want to see that?

R399 CLEARLY doesn't go here.....

She was sober… for once. I’m the Debbie Downer here, but I will say it was a great speech. Well-written, but total propaganda and she won’t deliver. Look at her record. You’re all getting caught up in the hype.

Diaper Donnie calls into FOX while on the toilet.

It's where he does all of his brainstorming.

Communism over Trumpism

[quote] R396 is making violent threats.

And we approve this message!

Well, storming of some kind.

Why do you all want to live in an echo chamber? Conservatives will at least engage in debate, why are progressives so determined to squash any discussion?

R404 what are you accomplishing here? No one cares. We want to win. We're going to win. Either get with it or get out the way.

[quote]The Republican party will unite under racism like it did with Obama.

Under which racist will they unite? Who is out there that would command their loyalty like Forrest Trump does?

Perhaps Truth Social is more your speed, R404.

Troll meltdowns are funny. And highly satisfying.

Reading all these comments while listening to 'Fire Water Burn' from Bloodhound Gang is a positively cinematic experience.

[quote]but I will say it was a great speech. Well-written, but total propaganda and she won’t deliver.

Of course she won't deliver.

She wants to win and is promising the moon. That's politics.

The Dems are doing what they need to do to win. It's crafty but effective.

The Trump campaign is a sorry mess in comparison.

[quote]if this communist wins.

Better this so-called "communist" than a rapist, fraud and convicted felon.

NYT: Kamala Harris' acceptance speech was so good that it's all dowhill from here.

R410 you’re all idolizing someone, same as MAGA. Turning her into the magical ***** from movies that is so problematic in film but acceptable in politics? She’s not a panacea. None of these politicians are going to save us. Guess you need that type of empty hope in your life.

R404's predictions are like Trump's predictions about if Biden got elected, Trump said the stock market would tank, instead it set new record highs.

CNN post-convention commentary.

Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, Abby Philip.

R415 finally someone who is thinking straight.

[quote] Gavin Newsom looks depressed as he sees his presidential ambitions dying.

Newsom is never going to be president. He doesn't have the appeal to attract voters in the midwest or swing state like Georgia.

I also don't think Josh Shapiro or Gretchen Whitmer will ever be elected P OTUS.

Elissa Slotkin is POTUS material and I also I think if Obama took his former US Auto Rescue Task force employee Haley Stevens under his wing, she could also be POTUS material. Slotkin and Stevens are from Michigan and one of them could the Michigan Woman who does get elected POTUS.

Kamala Harris is officially a gay icon.

R404 is one of those children Dubya left behind.

R409 is a visitor to this GAY site. So here's a welcome for you.

[quote] He was at the Mexican border today. He should think about escaping there tonight

That would be the best ending to this whole sad and stupid story. Trump fleeing across the Mexican border, hunted down and thrown in a cage awaiting his asylum request.

He'd love the family separation part, though.

The right are turning on each other...

2025 is a major opportunity for Dems.

It's WEIRD how the MAGA trolls and Russians and chinese are posting here, trying to convince us of something that they will NEVER be able to convince us of.

Like seriously, WHO are you cunts talking to?

Because NO ONE here is listening to you.

We're either blocking you, giving you an "FF," or just ignoring you completely.

You are SO in the wrong place.

R427 As Would Me too.

What about his promise to go to Venezuela?

That beyonce performance was balloon-worthy!

R419 so is American credit card debt right now, your point? Have you been grocery shopping? When the stock market hit highs under Trump you all said “you can’t base the success of the everyday folx on the stock market”. You’re playing the shell game. Try to look at things logically without all the fervent emotion.

Adam Kinzinger coming up after the commercial break!

[quote]Conservatives will at least engage in debate,

Ohhh, yes. Faux News and Newshax and Orange Asshole Nutjob Nonsense are all about discussing debating the issues, aren't they? 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Per CNN Live: the special guest was Harris herself. They absolutely wanted nothing to detract from her message. Having boring Leon Panetta and Adam K so close to her speech were quite intentional… and more.

They could have at least let James Taylor come back to sing. Poor guy.

FBI searched homes of two Americans with ties to Russian state media

including a former United Nations weapons inspector and an adviser to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

One home in Delmar, New York, was linked to Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector and critic of U.S. foreign policy, while another in Virginia was tied to Dimitri K. Simes, an adviser to Trump's first presidential campaign in 2016.

I was in San Francisco when she was the DA, in California as AG, etc. I have never been impressed by Kamala Harris, and dreaded her becoming the nominee. AND, she has totally transformed into a powerful, compelling candidate. Great for her, great for us. And for once, her suit fit great.

R429 if there were no cracks in your fairytale narratives then you wouldn’t even care, but you know this entire thing with her is smoke and mirrors and completely based on hype.

[quote]She’s not a panacea.

Nobody here ever said that she was. But she'll be in a position to do an awful lot for all of us if she wins.

I just flipped over to CNN and they're still disappointed about Beyonce not showing up....

[quote]Kamala Harris is officially a gay icon.

Babe she done been an icon.

So the speech itself was probably about 35 minutes without applause and chants.

Ending exactly at 11:11EST

R441 please provide a list of positive things that you think she do for all of us…

I will wait.

Ben Stiller doing political commentary on CNN. So odd. But he's positive about Kamala.

R443 no she done been hasn’t. You all just hopped on the coconut bandwagon a few weeks ago. Fickle faegz.

What R429 doesn't get is that the majority of people on the left would vote for just about anyone over Trump who we consider the worst President to ever be in the oval office and a traitor and wannbe dictator. Smoke and mirrors sounds better than Trump if that were the case, which it isn't.

R429 is just scared.

As he should be.

R228 and R242 (Dustin) --

Sorry for the late reply. I wanted to watch her entire speech before I looked for the link.

"Thank you to Congresswoman @AOC for speaking out, unlike other Democrats who prefer to release “anonymous” statements to pundits & journalists. She’s voicing what many of us have been saying for weeks: the powers that be don't want VP Kamala Harris on the ticket"

R447 Get your Log Cabin ass outta here bitch.

[quote]She’s not a panacea.

You should not be looking to a president of a fucking country to be a panacea in the first place. They're bureaucrats, not gods.

R447 time to jump your weirdo express

R452 you don’t have to tell me that. Tell all these Mamala 🥥🌴 brat summer meme Kweens.

Why not just block the freak who's parroting these inane claims (Kamala is a communist, if you support her you must think she'll solve all your problems, etc.)?

R455 most of what he said is probably correct.

[quote]You all just hopped on the coconut bandwagon a few weeks ago.

"Coconut bandwagon"? You certainly don't hesitate to let your racist freak flag fly, do you?

Marry me R331!

He is already missing his dictator besties! And, so soon after he lost his one true bestie, Jeffrey. Life is so tough for Orange Jesus.

R455

Wow! This whole convention couldn’t have gone better and then it ended with a powerful pitch perfect speech! There is something seriously wrong with this country if she doesn’t beat Trump.

R458 racist?? Keep pulling those cards, baby. So pathetic.

"Mrs. Harris Gives Great Speech: Why This is Bad For Mr. Biden."

And no disruptions. Even those trolls such as Charlie Kirk and My Coke Pillow guy disappeared like a fart caught in the whirlwind.

Darn! Meant "Mrs. Emhoff"!

It's Kamala and Dougie's anniversary tonight...wow, there's gonna be some fuckin'!

Kamala owned the thugs.

And they’re fucking triggered.

Womp fucking Womp!

R468 is the babysitter in the adjoining suite?

I hope Matt Walsh got his ass kicked by a gang of happy warriors.

R455 She will never be respected by the Tyrants of the World!

Why is Dumper saying that like it’s a bad thing?

Well I'm happy for my American friends.

Dump now saying that EUROPEANS are coming from rough prisons. lol You can’t even board a US bound plane in Europe without an approved ESTA. The only people who could believe this shit are people who have never travelled and have no critical thinking skills at all. He’s not even laughable anymore. It’s just unhinged.

Noel Casler puts things so beautifully r466.

This DNC has been an emotional, patriotic, uplifting, invigorating, feast of pleasures.

Thanks to the OPs of all of the DNC threads.

For anyone reading who had involvement with our convention: THANK YOU. We are so proud of you!

So glad Bey was a hoax! Who needs her?!

Trump is a meltdown in real time, all the time, on social media.

Trump is melting down on Fox News

Ah yes, r476...

I second the thanks to our DL member(s) who organized the seamless transitions for this thread. You done good!

R468 Uh huh. We just said that she is gonna get dicked down good tonight. Doug had so much pride it looked like he was going to burst.

Trump will be alone with Truth Social and a Big Mac.

[quote]Doug had so much pride it looked like he was going to burst.

That wasn't pride, baby!

Exactly, r483. Kids, you all did a great job tonight, but dammit, Auntie gotta get her some RIGHT NOW!

Go to bed, sweethearts.

Thank you, R474.

[quote] I agree with [R220], the White Christian Nationalist movement won't die off quickly if Harris wins. It will take at least a decade or more to reduce it.

I think she has the balls to crack down on domestic terrorism. So that "movement" will be challenged.

Damn, I’m tired after that speech! Line ‘em up, Dougie!

🍷💊🍷💊 🍷💊🍷💊 🍷💊🍷💊🍷💊 🍷💊🍷

Just catching up. Big Gretch her speech was perfect. I may be a bit biased...

Nice picture of Secretary Buttigieg and Mr. Buttigieg at the DNC.

Who is this bullshitting troll with his claims about "smoke and mirrors," as if Harris hasn't been participating in a highly constructive administration for the better part of four years? And the bizarre idea that she's a communist? And the condescending notion that if we support her we're doing so based on faith that she's flawless? Just block.

I know Morgan Freeman has "the voice" but he is a perverted peepaw. I wouldn't have used him for the campaign ad.

[quote] Trump is melting down on Fox News

Trump has dementia.

He's almost 80, and has cognitive impairment.

I would be surprised if he even knows where he's at right now.

He should be put out of his misery.

She's able deliver a moving and powerful speech that engage. It's nice to hear coherent complete thoughts.

R496 He’s such a triggered snowflake.

Gee, I wonder what...

He’s such a fucking LOSER!

Just go away, and take the couch fucker with you.

Hide the chillun and the ketchup!

Can we predict?

"Corrupt Low I.Q. Commalalala and Tearful Tim have finally ended their VERY RACIST CONVENTION. NO WHITE Americans! You saw it. Nobody WHITE. She is ALL FOR ILLEGAL INVADERS WHO RAPE AND MURDER! The only people she put in jail were AMERICANS! Was that so-called MUSIC even AMERICAN? Democrats only love foreigners, Kenya Obama and India Harris! Where are their BIRTH CERTIFICATES?!

And that weird kid, what's his name, Russ? My very tall son Barron is much more handsome, no crying. I will say that that good-looking blonde with Tampon Tim reminds me of my daughter Ivanka, wherever she is, I don't know.

I know that MAGA will win and America will once again have their greatest President, greater than Lincoln, I like Presidents who don't die when they're shot, also the best dancer.

Vote For Trump! I might not deport you!"

Great week everyone!

It was an exciting, informative, emotional week.

Whoever said today was just that little but not so exciting as the previous days, I agree.

They couldn’t let anybody outshine the future Mrs President, though.

Thanks to the OP’s for keeping up with all the threads.

She se puede!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Cute nieces

One thing I observed with the convention is that there are a lot of very young and bright people interested in politics. It gives me hope for the future. Maybe the silver lining of the whole MAGA/Dump debacle is that it got a lot of people fired up to fight back, more than we've seen in a very long time.

R450 - You clearly don't know how this works. For one thing, AOC never said Nancy didn't want Kamala. She said she sits in the rooms where it was discussed and they didn't want Kamala. That means she and her Squad friends and others wanted Biden out and didn't want Kamala. Nancy met with them and lots of other groups. Nancy tells AOC et al she's open to some type of open convention but she knows this is chaos. It was a bone she threw them knowing it wasn't going to happen. Joe backed Kamala within a half-hour and within a day it was over. Nancy knows one thing - how to count. When she saw enough that she believed Joe had to go, she took her data to him and laid it out. Do you think she didn't also find out where the party was on Kamala? She always knows where the party is. And she knew then. She played along for a day until it was a fait accompli. But she always knew how it would end, with Kamala the candidate. If you don't know this, you don't know Nancy Pelosi.

^ but they never show up on election day

Hey, r509, I will continue to beat this drum as infinitum.

Back in 2016, Democrats were written off, desolate and demoralized. (See attached article)

But, like the phoenix, we rose from the ashes.

We got fucking MAD AF after seeing that orange traitor attack us, our allies, our friends, neighbors and families.

People who never had any interest in politics suddenly realized that if that orange fool could run, THEY could run. and WIN. Young people, especially, got mad and got busy!

We wiped the floor with those cunting thugs in 2018 and so many wonderful people found themselves holding office for the first time.

They found their feet, hit their stride, and importantly, are mentoring others to follow them.

We now have a young, hungry deep bench and I do hope we have learned our lesson. Don’t stop, no resting in your laurels and keep mentoring the next generation.

Colbert's monologue was brilliant.

Just getting to see it, R513.

Some BBC journalist actually criticizing the lack of discussion of identity politics at the Convention. Has this person not learned anything after the disaster of 2016?

R502 have you been living under a rock? You’re really searching. Coconut and coconut tree have been widespread used in memes about her based on a speech she gave using those terms, but you already knew that. What a fucking spin. There is NOTHING remotely racist about using “coconut” about her. 🌴🥥 you’re a race baiting idiot.

Democrats: here is the full deal. Media: But what about!???

Trump: I just shit my pants! Media: Why we shouldn't underestimate Trump.

Hispanic/latino culture is western culture.

When Nancy Pelosi was asked the secret of her success, she said, "I know how to count. " I love Joe Biden, and I hate that things worked out the way they did, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it wasn't for the best. I haven't seen Democrats this energized in years.

To those of you on the other side of the aisle trying to sow your trolly seeds, if you had the balls, you would have already replaced Trump. Fuck off.

Wellllll, r518, that's a wee stretch. I mean, sure, South, Central, and much of North America, plus Iberia and the great Age of Discovery, but north and east of the Pyrenees is a different Renaissance and Enlightenment.

Your verdict, r514?

R520 That had very litter to do with north and South American culture and history.

Yes! Fantastic. 4 or 8 years the turd gets to see Madam President.

Mexico and any South American. country is far closer to the United States culture than Russia or Poland.

This is correct:

R520 go to sleep…you’ll feel real mañana.

As my grandma would say, "some people just stuck on stupid".

I'm sure there was skullduggery going on behind the scenes and when I read that donors were urging Joe to quit I immediately thought of the invisible hand of the foreign actors who are really working for Trump. Because bullying Joe so publicly, was negatively affecting fundraising at the grassroots level, and depressing the entire ticket. Nancy was right to be concerned. But anyone who was advising them to bypass the Black, Female VP was insane. They're either acting at the behest of the bad guys, or they're too dumb to be in politics.

Adam Kinzinger deserves a cabinet position in the Harris Administration.

R530, Not until he switches Party registration. Democratic gratitude is one thing; no need to add naivete.

The (Dixie) Chicks have sounded better.

Kinzinger and Cheney are still fascist adjacent.

BOTH of them supported AND VOTED WITH Dump and his vile policies 90% of the time.

Be serious. The only reason EITHER of them served on the J6 committee is because they were trying to rid the party of dump. They LOVE his policies, but they hate the negative attention.

Don't be fooled. Liz's old man is a fucking WAR CRIMINAL. Kinzinger is just as bad policy wise.

[quote]43 posts on Truth Social in the last two hours.

Take THAT, Tronald Dump!!

I loved Nancy's fake yawn when Adam finished his speech. She's always signalling.

It was kind of marvelous watching Dump unravel in real time on Truth Social.

As far as iconic photos of presidential candidates go, the pic at R528 easily trumps (no pun intended) the post-assassination attempt shot of Cheetolini fist pumping in front of the flag. It looks like Kamala as a young girl watching her future self accepting the nomination for POTUS. It’s magazine cover worthy and should be splashed across newspapers all over the world.

537, that bitch. Adam was great.

Agree, Kinzinger's speech was great. And we need as many people like him, people who are not Democrats but who love America and Democracy, to vote for Harris as possible. We can't heal or save America from Trump and fascism without them.

Adam K. has beady eyes and they're too close together.

Definitely neuro-divergent.

Nancy's just protecting her flock. If a swingy district opens up Adam K could take a run at it and win off the back of goodwill from Dems. He's still a Republican and a future threat.

[quote]Nancy is such a shady bitch.

She would fit in as a DL poster. (And I mean that as a compliment.)

BTW while I appreciate Kinzinger's speech and thought it was effective, and while I understand the importance of his giving it at the DNC, the guy is still a conservative on domestic policy issues.

Oh, and he has fat chipmunk cheeks.

Adam will never, ever be able to get out of a Republican primary.

From Jonathan Chait at R504:

[quote]The notion of opportunity, with its implication that people should control their own economic destiny, has long been a conservative one. Harris stole it.

She didn't so much "steal" this notion—or other ones, like freedom and security—it's more like the Republicans surrendered them when they went with Trump.

Wow, yeah, good point

R554, that’s likely

[quote]I loved Nancy's fake yawn when Adam finished his speech. She's always signalling.

See, it's childish nonsense like that that makes me so eager for that fat head just to go away.

In the moment, Kinzinger did us a favor. She's got to behave like that. I know, she's a brilliant strategist and knows how to get things done and is a shark and all her strengths, but Nancy's a fucking jerk. It's such a shame this accomplished, intelligent leader has to - granted slightly - diminish herself with pettiness. There isn't another strong, intelligent woman in the party acts like Nancy Pelosi does.

Really great point, R556!

Where was DL fav Stacey Abrams during the convention? Has her rising star peaked? Because compared to some of the other speakers, you'd think she'd rate a slot and I thought she was regarded as critical to Georgia turnout?

I checked DL other fav Nina Turner's twitter. She was complaining throughout about Gaza. One reference to Harris... to criticise about Gaza. I'd guess her future is nothing but independent bids for president.

I know this sounds cruel, but I’m sick of Gaza and I am sick of it being discussed as an issue in this election. Of course, the best course of action is for both sides to sit down and figure out a long term solution. But it’s up to them, not us to bring that about. There is no magical solution that the US can—or is willing to—offer to make that happen. Otherwise we would have done long, long ago.

Hoping I don’t derail the conversation. I am sooo hopeful this morning. And don’t think I forgot 2016. I will be out there giving money and volunteering, which I did a little of in 2016, but always felt guilty that I didn’t do enough.

If there’s any goodness in this world, and I grant there may not be, Kamala Harris won the election last night.

And I think Trump knows it too. Otherwise, why is he flailing around so much.

R559, she has certainly turned off many of us who were big fans. Again, she's 84 and has been in Congress since 1987. Maybe we need term limits for all. Will her daughter Christine Pelosi run for her seat when she ultimately steps down?

Yes, where was Stacey Abrams? I thought I’d read her name on the list of presenters.

Pivoting hard, what if the Beyonce thing was a bit of a tease. The focus is on Harris. Beyonce will do a rally close to the election. It was set up a little bit to refocus. Democrats: it's more than just Megan Thee Stallion shows. We could have Beyonce but we're responsible! I tried.

Beyoncé is viewed as a Hollywood elite. I’m glad she didn’t perform.

OMFG can we please stop talking about Beyonce?

I'm lean towards Vice President Harris avoiding a big concert of stars in October.

Yes, even if it's a combined chorus of Streisand, Beyonce, Springsteen, whoever. Save that for an Inaugural Gala.

Harris doesn't need another star to be "the closer".

She has to be her own closer.

Gee, an 84 year old woman yawning at midnight??

Unimaginable.

The Best — And Most WTF — Moments of the Democratic National Convention:

[quote] Any info on who she was wearing?

It was Chloe.

Am I reading too much into the pussy bow?

[quote]I'm lean towards Vice President Harris avoiding a big concert of stars in October.

R570, to your point, the campaign is trying to be very strategic in how it employs celebrity support:

Agree R562. They will hate each other and fight over the last stale crumb for generations.

R575 before she stepped out onto the stage i said to myself "oh PLEASE let her be wearing a pussy bow!"

I also originally wished she had worn white, to keep in solidarity with the other women to symbolize suffrage movement. But then I decided the navy was intentional, since a navy suit is usually what men wear.

She really isn't running on any identity basis. It's quite a fascinating choice. She's basically running like a traditional white guy and I think it's a brilliant decision.

Indeed, she doesn't make her race or gender an issue, so it looks even worse when Dump tries to bait her with that stuff. He looks exactly like the decrepit old bigot he is.

[quote] Jonathan Chait

People like him are a big part of normalizing Trump in the past 4 years. He's one of those "centrists" who always likes to criticize anything that Democrats do but I'm yet to see any criticism he's made of the utter shitshow that GOP is these days. He and his intellectual clones have provided endless fodder to NYT, The Atlantic, etc, over the past 6-7 years. if you want a fun podcast that dissects all this "regressive center" bullshit people like him have been spewing, I'd highly recommend "If Books Could Kill" with Michael Hobbes as one of the two co-hosts.

Her outfit was midnight blue, rather than navy

But r582, here is the REAL question. What color was her blouse? That’s all I could think about. Was it blue? Was it black? Was it a blue-black? I noticed that both Kamala and Gwen were dressed is extremely somber, serious colors, as were the men. Nothing “festive” and that was by design. This campaign is a serious thing. While we are joyful warriors, we are indeed in a fight for America, and I love that their fashion choices emphasize the serious task at hand.

[quote] [Chait's] one of those "centrists" who always likes to criticize anything that Democrats do but I'm yet to see any criticism he's made of the utter shitshow that GOP is these days.

Gosh, how far to the left do you have to be to think New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait is a "centrist"?! I guess that's better than calling him a conservative.

I only look at what he publishes, not what he calls himself, R584. You probably consider Bari Weiss a liberal, right?

Jonathan Chait is no Bari Weiss, R585. And here's are a couple of excerpts from his most recent column:

[quote] Kamala Harris rose to the occasion with a perfect nominating acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. I’ve never seen a nominee target their political objectives so precisely. The text was ideally suited to the electoral challenge she faces, and her delivery exuded strength and inspiration.

[quote] Harris’s delivery enhanced the message. She was forceful and confident. She sounded like a nominee who believes she is going to win and who is designing a campaign focused relentlessly on that goal. The floundering incipient candidate of 2019, trying desperately to please progressive activists with social-justice lingo, could not be a more distant memory now. Harris is in this to win this. And I believe she will.

Can female candidates use the campaign coffers to pay for hair and makeup artists and outfits?

Or are they expected to use their own wardrobe? Or do designers donate clothes?

Kamala's suits look so expensive and well tailored but a woman is expected to wear a new suit at each appearance so the cost must be $$$$$

Are they on the trail today?

She wears the same suits all the time. What are you nattering about.

R587, as a vice president she must provide for her own clothes. not sure about campaign contributions though

New York Times, doin’ its thing.

No, R588, Kamala flew back to DC. And there's nothing on Walz's schedule for today.

The campaign of course pays for clothes, hair and makeup for both candidates.

[quote]The campaign of course pays for clothes, hair and makeup for both candidates.

... and new tits.

R593 There's a silver lining if you lose. Great new wardrobe!

I was a sobbing MARY all week, and I don’t even care. Even Bill Clinton walking out to “Fix You” hit me hard, in large part because that song just gets to me. But still.

I know I’ve said this over and over, but this was the best convention I’ve ever seen, and judging by social media, I’m not the only one who thought so.

Kamala's salary as VP is $235,100. I don't think Doug is working (intentionally) and not sure if he gets some type of stipend. Their housing and staff is paid for but they still have to pay for their own food bills.

And elected government officials aren't allowed to take gifts, i.e. clothing designers giving them clothes.

The joyous America we need to see more.

He's just throwing out random shit now.

[quote]I know I’ve said this over and over, but this was the best convention I’ve ever seen, and judging by social media, I’m not the only one who thought so.
