So far, we've had three bad speakers followed by a mother whose OTT grief and bitterness outshadows her ability to convince the mushy middle that Hillary might bear some responsibility for Benghazi. Then the immigrant bashing from another grieving parent. OK then…
I heard a few minutes of Grieving Mom (on the radio, which I had left on) when I came back from a walk. I felt sad for her for a few seconds until it became obvious who it was she has hitched her Grief Wagon to and which direction she was driving it. I turned it off. That Duck Call nut is supposed to be on later too, so there's another one that gets the MUTE button.
I mentioned I was going for a run, and upon my return I got texts from Kid Glass forwarding the stupid things Steve King was saying. I think I'll go out and run down to So Cal and start drinking with Cally.
I ordinarily don't start drinking seriously until 7:00 PM, but Cottonmouth is driving me to crack that bottle of Pinot early. I feel proud that I've made it this far.
This broad is part of an astroturf group called "Concerned Veterans for America," funded by the Kochs to try and privatize the VA. They hate the VA because it America's only true system of socialized medicine. And it works.
Any odds on post convention bounce and how long it will last?
I'm predicting Bounce: 5%. Duration: 2 days (until the next Twitter gaffe). Maybe 3 days, max.
I'm guessing 3-4 points myself, but I'm not sure. I'd expect next week's polls to show a nice boost for Trump, but the week after will have Hillary erase that whole thing. I bet we'll be right back where we are today in a few weeks!
Whilst smokey was getting inoculated against measles, she mistook a drawing of a jellyfish for a cephalopod. She was immediately corrected by the loving tentacle of correction, containing an MMR vaccine. Now, on to conquer ASU! Go Wildcats! Er, Blue Devils! No, Blue Bombers! Whichever1
Shocking. The vaccination should correct things but if it doesn't I can arrange for an immersion class in Invertebrate Zoology. You need to know these things, what with sea lavel rise and the impending Cephalopocalypse.
OK, one of my dogs is frantically licking my hand while the other one is giving me a "WTF?" look. Time to walk them, I guess. BBL for the post-debate chatter!
Totally true. Don't know about the blind mullah part. When he was sentenced, his bro had to be led out of the courtroom yelling he was framed. I sure hope he wasn't framed, for him and us…
So, the second half of the Convention will be to attempt to sell us on the concept that Trump's judgement and character are suited to the most powerful office in the world.
OK. Good luck with that.
Protip: If you're going to try to weld an opposition candidate to a president's policies, try to pick one that's a). unpopular and b). whos policies are unpopular. Unless you're planning on losing, that is.
Have not.
Donald Pleasance AND Dirk Blocker!!!!! Where has this movie been ?????????
It bombed heavily first run, but gained a hard core following on the VHS, DVD and streaming fan base. It's great, in a slowly building atmospheric horror way. Smart, too. It'll give you the willies.
Bonus guest appearance by Alice Cooper (!)
Cool.

I wish there guys were at least as upset with things like oh, say, the August 6th PDB titled "Bin Laden determined to strike inside the US" or "Fixing the facts around the Policy" in the Downing Street Memo. And "Curveball". And Aluminum tubes. Yellowcake. "We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators". "The war will pay for itself with Iraqi oil. Democracy will bloom throughout the Middle East. Maybe the 16 other US Embassies and diplomatic facilities attacked during the Bush Adminintration.
how they all beat that fucking "aluminum tubes" nonsense to death. They were great at staying on message. Makes me want to do something with an aluminum tube, preferably an Easton 34…

To update an earlier summary:
So far, we've had three bad speakers followed by a mother whose OTT grief and bitterness outshadows her ability to convince the mushy middle that Hillary might bear some responsibility for Benghazi. Then the immigrant bashing from another grieving parent. OK then…
I heard a few minutes of Grieving Mom (on the radio, which I had left on) when I came back from a walk.

I mentioned I was going for a run, and upon my return I got texts from Kid Glass forwarding the stupid things Steve King was saying. I think I'll go out and run down to So Cal and start drinking with Cally.
That's a good plan.
The anti-Bush forces had a grieving mom back in olden times, so they needed one.
[Can't remember her name though ]
Yes.
[from out of the mists, a lone voice …..*ouking* ….]
This cop is a good speaker. Just turned it on but he hasn't said anything goofy in five minutes.
And as a result, I'm seeing lots of people getting up from their seats and moving around. They probably want Bitter mom to come back.
Okay now he's gone to Crazy Town, saying Trump is the leader this nation needs.
"try and sell crazy somewhere else, pal- they're all stocked up."
Does Bri-Wi's contract with MSNBC run out soon? Just can't stand his condescending I've-seen-all-this-before demeanor.
So far I am getting through this sober. I must be in the denial phase.
I ordinarily don't start drinking seriously until 7:00 PM, but Cottonmouth is driving me to crack that bottle of Pinot early. I feel proud that I've made it this far.

Thanks for keeping us safe Rudy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's not dwell on THAT past. .
I was in NJ for the truck bombing and amazed the towers held up so well. Damn.
OK, Giuliana has completely lost his shit now.
Hey, the Dragons won a game! THE DRAGONS WON A GAME!!!!
Wish that was on.
I'm catching up on GDQ runs I missed because that's way more interesting than Donald Trump+minions.
Good choice. You ain't missing nothing but maybe an upset stomach.
…and I just put on my Dragons shirt after my run? Coincidence? I think not!
I'm getting sound {CC] but no picture on YT, which is okay with me
Heh.
Are we crazy??
Crowd roars YEAHHHHHHHHH!!
Pre-convention 538 odds: Clinton 64.2% to win, Trump 35.8%.
Any odds on post convention bounce and how long it will last?
I'm predicting Bounce: 5%. Duration: 2 days (until the next Twitter gaffe). Maybe 3 days, max.
I'm guessing 3-4 points myself, but I'm not sure. I'd expect next week's polls to show a nice boost for Trump, but the week after will have Hillary erase that whole thing. I bet we'll be right back where we are today in a few weeks!
Still not seeing that pivot to the center. OK then…

We're gonna win so big…really, we are…we are!!!
Did that Code Pink banner holding woman up in the balcony get beaten up yet?
Dear C_R,
Whilst smokey was getting inoculated against measles, she mistook a drawing of a jellyfish for a cephalopod. She was immediately corrected by the loving tentacle of correction, containing an MMR vaccine. Now, on to conquer ASU! Go Wildcats! Er, Blue Devils! No, Blue Bombers! Whichever1
Satan's Minions.
Shocking. The vaccination should correct things but if it doesn't I can arrange for an immersion class in Invertebrate Zoology. You need to know these things, what with sea lavel rise and the impending Cephalopocalypse.
Gasp! And we're only (surprisingly) just over 1,000 feet above sea level! That's not nearly enough!
You tell Her Smokiness we all say hi.
She loves you all. She is also busy with "my gloves, my gloves, my lovely lady gloves" while cleaning out the cat box.
Even Little Marco? Even Lyin' Ted? They deserve respect?
"They deserve the gratitude and respect from all of us."
Too bad your hubby disrespected his primary opponents as fiercely as he did, then…
/FFS
It should be obvious that Trump married her for her brains and sparkling personality.
Work for those achievements. Don't be born into them like so many………..wait……….
This is a bit of a disappointment: she's not doing too badly for a mail-order bride.
"male-order"?
Not even gonna use real *ouke* for Mel.

Yes.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait–is Melania using "Donald is passing on his wealth to the kids" as a selling point? Really?
"Our country is underperforming and needs new leadership"
Man, does that sound like Corporate Rader-speak, or what?
someone slipped an old Rmoney page in there?
Drama we got Melania. Lots of it. Too much.
OK, one of my dogs is frantically licking my hand while the other one is giving me a "WTF?" look. Time to walk them, I guess. BBL for the post-debate chatter!
"Donald J. Trump is ready to Steal, er, Serve and Lead!"
Oh sure, now the video comes on.

Do you think they had any trouble getting any token White people to sit in the audience near the cameras?
Lt. General Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooser.
"Bumbling indecisiveness, Willful Ignorance and Total Incompetence…"
Terribly rude things to say about the George W Bush administration, even if they are true.
The comments here make this sound like it's a Hillary and Obama-bashing festival instead of trying to sell Trump to the world.
Is there a difference?
I heard Jeff Sessions wrapping up his speech on the way to pick up the missus from the train. he sounded like a 45 record played at 33 1/3
Pretty sure you're the only one who's distracted by words and bathrooms.

He got his law degree at Reddit University.

Can that neighbor shit Rev.
One of the guys put away for that was a chem E from RU.
No shit? Did he go that blind mullah's mosque too?
Totally true. Don't know about the blind mullah part. When he was sentenced, his bro had to be led out of the courtroom yelling he was framed. I sure hope he wasn't framed, for him and us…

Hey, is that Japanese anime guy doing any art for the repub convention? would be a gold mine.
Haven't seen any, but he's been more obviously pro-Trump political lately anyway.
WAit until those Korean animators get hold of this.

After the job they did with the bros, they'll probably have a legendary Trump one.

Think about it. ISIS is in all 50 States.
Hmmmmmmmm.
This is still going on?
PS: News flash, Joni and other wingnuts: using the term "radical Islamic terrorism" =/= a strategy for defending the world against ISIS.
You're welcome.

Well, I think the GOP plan is to invade the U.S.
not just the "pro-american" parts?
So, the second half of the Convention will be to attempt to sell us on the concept that Trump's judgement and character are suited to the most powerful office in the world.
OK. Good luck with that.

Are we back to BenG?
Imma take a break just like Hillary did while everyone in the world needed her help.

Wait'll the RNC finds out Michelle plagiarized her speech from Joe Biden….
“In fairness, the speechwriter left out the part about how they met on the south side of Chicago.” – CNN person as quoted by B Juice person.
Also now wondering if it was wrong to troll Editrix on her own blog, in her own post.
