gm from my world nclb – I answered this on the last thread – I seem to make a habit of not knowing there is a new thread – got to improve my observation 🙂
NCLB, thanks for sharing this. Frankly, I am tired of the antics and the disgusting behavior of a small group of very vocal Bernie supporters.They’ve decided to employ the same tactics practiced by right wing tea baggers. I am convinced that many of these disruptive Bernie supporters are not Democrats.
Oh my. That moment and seeing them again tonight — you must be overwhelmed. (Thank you again for your service, Alycee, and to all our TOD veterans, including Yardarm.)
It was. I’m so sick of the criticism I’ve been hearing in local news today about how HRC is unpopular etc. etc. so I’m hoping that she carries the same tone and delivery to her main speech tonight. That should silence them some. Enough is enough with regards to HRC, indeed.
Crap! I was so hoping it would go smoothly tonight. I am taping it and watching a much earlier in the day tape now. Being on here will give me a chance to be forewarned before seeing a Berniebot crazy action of disruption. I knew all along that Bernie was dividing our party with his crazy accusations and promotion of conspiracy theories and a revolution. You reap what you sow, only he is throwing in firebombs then leaving, literally going back to being an Independent and we are reaping his sowing! I was worried about his actions all along. Two of my own adult sons and one daughter-in-law went to the Sanders side while my two daughters and one son-in-law went for Hillary. All of them voted Obama twice. Mine are older thirties and all are voting Hillary in the GE with no crazy antics.
I’ve posted this too many times, but….maybe not here? If I have already, sorry. Here I go: When it still looked like Bernie had a chance it was understood that CA was a must win or at a MINIMUM needed to be close. Hillary CRUSHED him in CA. CRUSH-13 points. OVER. Bernie knows it. What is it about Bernie-or-bust people that they don’t know this plain, key fact? Honestly I suspect these hold-outs are a small group of confused people that typically DON’T VOTE ANYWAY. (‘Confused’ is a nice word, dontcha agree?) So, they’ll bluster about voting for some small party someone….maybe even donaldasswipe, and then? They won’t show up.
I get what you are saying but isn’t it time to kill the false narrative that the dems are weak on defense and national security? You got millions, including military morons, believing that crap for decades.
Yes it’s time to kill *that* narrative. Excuse me though if I don’t think he got anywhere close to doing that. He actually made me think of the word ‘cantankerous’. I thought he was going to talk about ISIS …….. in a rational way.
Honestly, he wasn’t speaking to the civilians. That segment was aimed a very specific target group: active duty military, veterans, and military families. The rethugs usually get the lions share of military votes — ungrateful milvoters went for Rmoney 66 to 26.
The prospect of trump as CinC has most “thinking” military folks TERRIFIED! A number of the folks on stage were repubs, as were a number of attendees at yesterday’s caucus.
I hope the DNC has HUUUUUUUUGE pacifiers to plug in the mouths of those f***g toddlers. It’s past their bedtime. Sing them a lullaby and put them to sleep.
I expect that the Hillary supporters are keeping a close eye on those yellow shirted Bernie Bros, and will keep them from making a fuss.
That’s my hope anyway. If those Bernie or Bust fools try to spoil this moment…for the first Female Nominee, I will hold Bernie and the supporters that live in my community personally responsible. They will never hear the end of it from me!!
…By the time a hero astronaut had introduced his wife, a hero congresswoman, it was over.
By the time a Marine and a Navy man had both validated Hillary Clinton’s Commander-in-Chief card, it was over.
But then came Uncle Joe Biden, roaring out on his Harley and red-white-and-blue jumpsuit, whipping his Ray Bans off and and leading the crowd in a rousing chorus of “USA!USA!”.
And then the Invisible Hand of the Marketplace made itself manifest in the person of Michael “No Labels” Bloomberg. And the Invisible Hand was swinging a 100 foot Vorpal Sword with which he proceeded to gleefully lay about the Terrible Orange Jabberwocky:
One, two! One, two!
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
Then came Tim “Martin Minivan Buren” Kaine who made us all scrambled eggs and cracked us up with his goofy-dad Donald J. Trump impressions while cheerfully name-checking…
…Jesuits
Social Justice
Faith
Family
Work
The Nobility of public service
and the United States Marine Corps.
It was over. It was over. It was so over.
And then the sweetest, funniest, feistiest Gold Star Mom and school board member straight from Frank Capra central casting in the world walked up to the microphone to introduce her president. The speech that President Obama delivered after her introduction is already being translated into every language on Earth, shared on every media site and will be studied by school kids on our Martian colonies a century from now, so since you can find it anywhere (and rightly so) let us instead give the floor of this tiny blog to Mrs. Sharon Belkofer of Rossford, Ohio:
…It was over. It was already so over.
And then President Obama delivered what I can best describe as the “Morning In America” speech Abraham Lincoln might have given at the end of his second term had a radical Christian white supremacist not cut him down in one of the greatest acts of domestic terrorism in American history.
Day Three of the DNC was, collectively, the most comprehensive political beat-down I have ever seen….
Never been a big fan of Chelsea Clinton, just never found her interesting, until tonight. Compare her “stage presence” to Ivanka Trump’s, and Chelsea is nailing it. Her demeanor is mild-mannered, but exactly what was required during this wonderful, “real” convention. I believe she loves her mother, and she’s giving us reasons why, and that was what her speech was meant to show us. Good for you, Chelsea.

Would love to know what those two were whuppin it up about 🙂
Saw some of the shirts down front. Am worried they plan to make trouble.
Rev Barber, preach brother preach!
NancieD – it is Dr Barber!!! Luv, luv this man and his work. 🙂

Oh so glad he is speaking. Hitting all the important issues.
Nice gesture.
Rev Barber

#TruthAndReconciliation PREACHES!!!!

This is the right way to go after racists. You go after their employment, their money.
Holy Moly, they pull out all the big guns! Rev Barber and now Kareem!!!
Reverend Barber! Church was goooood today!
What a gift! ❤
I met Capt Kahn’s Mom & Dad at yesterday’s Veteran’s Caucus.
Oh my. That moment and seeing them again tonight — you must be overwhelmed. (Thank you again for your service, Alycee, and to all our TOD veterans, including Yardarm.)
OMG, they are extraordinary!!
Way cool!
Loved him offering to loan his copy of the Constitution to Trump. 👏🏾
They should listen to Mr. Khan right now, and get over themselves.
These folks have no respect. If they screw up tonight I will never forgive Bernie.
trolls gonna be trolls.
This is ripping me apart ….
Me, too. THIS is the America we want.
It certainly is, Jacqueline!!
“Those 10 steps” speech that Hillary just gave in the DNC video was the best I ever heard her give.
yes she was very good.
It was. I’m so sick of the criticism I’ve been hearing in local news today about how HRC is unpopular etc. etc. so I’m hoping that she carries the same tone and delivery to her main speech tonight. That should silence them some. Enough is enough with regards to HRC, indeed.
OK, The floodgates have opened. I am in a puddle.
this father is very moving.
Yusss!
Good Evening TODbots.
🍸 to NW for all you do.
{{{{ ❤ Chips ❤ }}}}
Congrats to all the Gold ⭐ winners since Wednesday.
GE TODville.
General Allen up now.
What the heck is going on with the chant? Is the public trying to cover some other obscenity?
GE NCLB.
Thanks for posting all those great tweets last night.

Wow! All these speeches tonight are so powerful! I’m filled with such pride.
This!!!!!!
WOW, he is really telling it. I know some people like it being so military. I have a feeling there were some folks yelling no.
I’ve posted this too many times, but….maybe not here? If I have already, sorry. Here I go: When it still looked like Bernie had a chance it was understood that CA was a must win or at a MINIMUM needed to be close. Hillary CRUSHED him in CA. CRUSH-13 points. OVER.

They’re all convinced that because THEY didn’t win, it must all be fixed. They cannot accept they honestly LOST.
I will just say this military speaker is not what I expected (and I do not appreciate his approach). Just saying.
I get what you are saying but isn’t it time to kill the false narrative that the dems are weak on defense and national security? You got millions, including military morons, believing that crap for decades.
Yes it’s time to kill *that* narrative. Excuse me though if I don’t think he got anywhere close to doing that. He actually made me think of the word ‘cantankerous’. I thought he was going to talk about ISIS …….. in a rational way.
The rational part comes from CIC, hence to kill off the present and clear danger that kkklown is.
don’t quite follow you here, but don’t worry about it. not important that I do on this subject

Alrighty then; ‘cos he sure did not reach, or inform, me in any meaningful way.
TOD family, lets all together send positive vibes to the Convention so the troublemakers are quieted and controlled.
Amen GGail.HZ
Amen, Gail. I am not feeling very kind to them. I not violent but if they do anything I might become that way.
THIS!!!
This is true…
Hope we’re witnessing the implosion of the party who nominated a sociopathic narcissist who doesn’t read, only watches cable news.
LOL. the butthurt of these ‘patriots’ is fun to watch.
BLOOP!
Hahaha!
Exactly what I thought. The USA chants were to drawn fools chanting NO MORE WARS.
Never thought I would see the day the military commanders getting on dem bandwagon.
Kenyan did give some backbone to the dems to go on the offence.
PBO broke the mold FOREVER.
Yes he did!
Wow, I’m speechless. This convention is LIT.
I am appreciating that so many are giving out the information to register. Great move. HZ
YES, no opportunity wasted. We are so much more organized to win.
These two people had me in tears. Amazing strength and values. Their son must have been an extraordinary man.
I love what the parents of the American Muslim soldier had to say. Love it. I hope reporter ask Trump if he has read the U.S. Constitution.
lol. knollersque.
Let’s see if HRC speaks for 45. I like it.
I hope the DNC has HUUUUUUUUGE pacifiers to plug in the mouths of those f***g toddlers. It’s past their bedtime. Sing them a lullaby and put them to sleep.
#StormTheVote 🙂
Love it Bob! #StormTheVote! YASSSS
Thank you!!! 🙂

I just said the same thing to my husband.
Dude, fuck off.

Preach. 😀 😀 😀 It was perfect.
Awesome!!!
all that kvetching. love it.
Oh, this ‘card trick’ sounds like a creative solution to the Berniebots. 🙂
Such powerful speakers, Rev. Barber, the Muslim Father, Gen. Allen. The whole lineup makes me proud to be a Democrat.
Me, too, Bill. This is all historic, in my eyes.
Absolutely, Bill!!! 🙂
the daughter unit !!!
whew. got here in time. got here in time for Chelsea. reading the past posts and tweets sounds like there have been a lot of good speakers tonight.
New post.

Chelsea is a poised young woman. She, like Malia and Sasha has grown up in the public eye, and is gracious and poised.
I see that Bill is SURROUNDED by the Secret Service.
My God, what a video. And narrated by God himself, Morgan Freeman.
Thank you , Ava DuVernay, for a beautiful intro!
