Democratic convention a bust

| August 18, 2020

NBC News asks the question, “Is it really a convention if nobody convenes?”

Milwaukee, host to this year’s quadrennial Democratic National Convention to select their candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, is a ghost town. Normally the event brings in tens of thousands of convention goers, media, political hacks, lobbyists, and protesters (and obligatory counter protesters against the protesters protests).

Hotels are way under filled, and the police and Secret Service deployed there appear to be guarding nothing.

Their headline sums it up the best; ‘Just kind of sucks’: Disappointed Milwaukee a political ghost town for the Democratic convention

What if they held a mostly peaceful demonstration, and nobody rioted? Heard the morning hosts on WMAL discussing the “speeches” from last night. Once again, AOC does not fail to impress with her forward thinking ideas, like pen pals to keep the US Postal Service afloat. And this weekend “The Squad” will be holding a car wash and bake sale to ensure that the Postal Service can handle the mail in ballot surge.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If a disbarred attorney crashes his plane into a stand of trees and there is no one to witness it, can he still sue?

That would depend if Lori Benton still represented All-Points Logistics.

They’re real thrilled about Biden, I see.

Pres. Trump announced the pardon of Susan B. Anthony on the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage…and the Dems are pissed! How does a party full of betas, simps, and cucks not get around to pardoning the champion of women’s right to vote themselves? Boo-ya! Trump does it again!

This is reminiscent of that famous 20th century film flop “What If They Gave a War and Nobody Came?”

Never heard of it? It was really titled “How I Won the War” and nobody went to it, even with John Lennon in it.

So where are all of the Bernie-heads that said they were going to level Milwaukee if their chosen didn’t get the nomination? And yes it looks like the liberal media hacks are literally sleep-yakking!

Every time i think of anyone with a “D” by their name, that song from Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show….

“Freakin at the freakers ball”, keeps ringing in my head but this time they ain’t all getting along at the end.

Watch for any strange fires at polling places or where ballots are counted, there might be a new song in there somewhere.

Yep. The Fox News/ right wing talking point of the day. So dutifully obedient of you Mason

Nobody expects the right and Trump loyalists to like the DNC Convention. Or even watch it. Best they are hoping for is never Trumpers to tune in.

Democrats I talked to seem pretty happy with the convention so far. They really are praising some of the speeches.

Overall it is scoring better than I expected.

I thought it was going to be an empty audience snooze fest. But so far people seem to like it.

I think a four day convention is a failure of an idea though.

You did notice that Mason cited MSNBC in his article above, right? And one from the NY Times in his comment above?

No, of course you didn’t. You probably didn’t bother to even put your cursor over the link in the article and see where it was from. I’m guessing you merely assumed he used Fox News as a source and didn’t bother to check.

Geez, Koalemos (AKA Commissar AKA Poodle AKA Seagull AKA Cthulhu), you really are predictable,

Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH B Woodman

Wait…….? What!? “Cthulhu”?
Maybe I haven’t been paying attention, maybe you’ve called Poodle Dick by that name before, BUT (and a mighty big “butt” it is) I take objection to calling Komrade Kommissar Squawking Seagull by the name of one of HP Lovecraft’s greatest character creations. Not only “no”, but “HELL to the NO!”
I know I can’t stop you (free citizen, writer and editorial management), but please, please, don’t do that again. I ask and implore you as a fellow TAH dillweed. Don’t make me cry in my beer (I hate watered down beer).
Have some respect for both HP Lovecraft and Cthulhu.
Thank you for listening.

He went by that handle before…

Hey, I’m not the one who chose to use the name of that particular “Elder God” as my screen “handle” in order to return to the site via subterfuge, post-ban, after Jonn had died. So I don’t think I’ll be the one that feels the wrath, TD. (smile)

The Democrat Convention is literally the “echo chamber” you’ve been harping about for years. They’re preaching to the choir, ministering to the converted. In other words, it’s a circle jerk. Folks on the outside looking in (the very people the dems need to convert, convince, or coerce) are saying “What the fuck is that?” Very ineffective strategy.

Gee Whiz, Commissar.

Mason started his post with this comment:

“NBC News asks the question, “Is it really a convention if nobody convenes?”

Mason then cites an NBC News article:

“Just Kind of Sucks’: Disappointed Milwaukee a Political Ghost Town For The Democratic Convention”

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/just-kind-sucks-disappointed-milwaukee-ghost-town-democratic-convention-n1236967

The guy who wrote the article is a NBC Reporter:

“Sahil Kapur is a national political reporter for NBC News.”

Please tell me why you reference Fox News.

Please.

Thank You.

(Captain Kangaroo was a great mentor when he taught us Baby Boomers to always say “Please and Thank You”).

Hondo

Hmm. For some reason, what you wrote sounds kinda familiar, ninja. (smile)

ninja

Hondo,

Yep. You are correct. I noticed the same thing before you posted your comment and decided to reinterate and piggy back from what you wrote (you were FIRST!) because great minds always think alike.

Hack was on the fence on who to cast his vote, but when AOC proposed instituting a nationwide pen pal program, that sealed the deal to vote a straight Democrat ticket. Hack is not a lying dog faced pony soldier, nor pony Marine, and he is Riding With Biden.

The Democratic National Convention drew 6.13 million viewers on broadcast television networks ABC, CBS and NBC on Tuesday night, according to preliminary data, marking a 48 percent drop from the second night of the convention in 2016.

It’s not a real Democrat convention without riots and
Bernie bros pushing their way to the stage.

“A Party That Had Lost Its Mind’: In 1968, Democrats Held One of History’s Most Disastrous Conventions”

ninja, that convention in ’68 caused many a yellow dog democrat to vote for Nixon.

I was kinda sorta hoping to see the Bernie Bois get their azzes handed to them by the Cheese Head po po and National Guard.

“So many Americans were so anxious about the stability and orderliness of their society, they found the protests too nerve-racking, too dangerous, too destabilizing,” said David Farber, a University of Kansas historian who wrote a book on the convention. “I think those protests ironically and perversely helped the candidacy of the ‘law and order’ president, Richard Nixon.”

And this is why Trump will be re elected.

HEY WAIT, didn’t a bunch of the Bernie-heads say that they were going to vote Trump if their guy didn’t get the nomination? So thus if Major Moonbat is truly the Bernie-head he professes himself to be then he’ll VOTE TRUMP!!!

Bubba is supposed to be the keynote speaker tonight. Maybe he will speak while been given a relaxing neck message by one of Epstein’s little blond sex slaves…

Heck, he got blown in the Oval Office while on the phone with Boris Yeltsin. It’s the least he could do.
