Thank you for listening so we don’t have to. But at this point, their fascism is crystal clear. I don’t need to hear their speeches to convince me. I only wish arrests could be made, something to show that Democrats can be protected.

LOL

I turned off the TV as the speech was starting... Just turned on the TV again….He’s STILL going? Now the commentators are calling it the longest convention speech EVER, and people in the audience were falling asleep...I think Biden should just suspend his campaign and go back to being President full-time, let Trump just go on talking until November, and people will be voting against him just to get him to SHUT THE HELL UP! 😂

This "VOTE removes stubborn orange stains" shirt is more alive than ever 👇 🤣

And I thank you for watching. I guess I am just naive, Scott, but the question I keep going back to is"why is the Democratic leadership allowing the GOP to run the show?" There

has to be something they know about Biden/polls that has them convinced he should drop out

I can’t watch him anymore, he is too toxic for me he energy sucks the oxygen out of the air. New must win this election and send the dictators packing.

Same here Ilene. I watch Britbox instead. And I listen to harp music during the day. 😄

Same here. I tried to watch local news @ 11 and still going. Went to Perry Mason @ 11:30 and checked on ad breaks, still going! Hardly a galvanizing speech. Come on Dems, time to get to work. Thx Scott.

I did the same thing. I’m so very glad the entire circus is over, he sounded like a robot for the few words I heard.

I have never heard a worse content and delivery of any political speech of either party. How did he make a description of an assassination attempt boring? The hugging of the firefighter’s uniform and kissing his helmet was grotesque.

And I think they misspelled his name on the uniform. It was grotesque for sure.

Expand full comment

I thought so too, but social media posts show it at the firehouse misspelled (apparently too long?)…it was just so creepy. Thanks for all you do.

Expand full comment

He did that? What, is he also a necrophiliac? I saw the uniform on the stage and thought it was a shameless and exploitative PROP. Come on, pundits. Let's analyze his depravity.

Expand full comment

it was a classic narcisist speech...especially all the stuff around the attempt...supposed attempt. There was not that much blood from his ear......and it wasnt flowing while they took him off stage............its all about him....totally unaware

Expand full comment

His white shirt was not bloodied at all. He claimed "there was so much blood."

Expand full comment

We actually put up w him just a few years ago…. How could this be happening again? Some huge money is propping him up… I hope they’re pleased w their outdated purchase…

Expand full comment

Carol, Putin, Orbán and other dangerous lunatics are trolling our online sites. Trump gave Putin our secret documents. We have no idea yet, the damage he has done to our country (and to our allies).

He WHAT now?! I wouldn’t watch and now I can’t even imagine it.

Normal, professional adults do not hug and kiss inanimate objects when giving a speech.

Thank you for watching the circus and sharing out for those of us whose gag reflex cannot stomach his voice, obvious lies, blatant racism and hate. 🤮 Much appreciated. Can’t wait to see how the media spins his horrific speech into a 💩 on Biden.

Nothing has ever been terrible for Trump…. He continually is bailed out…

But his puppet handlers don’t do a good job… napping in public over & over…

I was watching it with commentary by Robert Reich and Heather Lofthouse, on YouTube. The running commentary by viewers was hilarious and 90% negative. Had to stop after a while. The campaign has never released a medical report; rumor is that his injury was from flying glass, not a bullet.

Expand full comment

My daughter told us that. I checked on Snopes. Untrue, it wasn’t a piece of glass.

Expand full comment

So he is incredibly lucky. Instead of gratitude, his narcissism requires him to claim God saved him, presumably for some great purpose

Expand full comment

I think it was the devil who saved him. I couldn’t watch any of it. I am too repulsed by that felonious, disgusting liar.

Expand full comment

Me too. I recently said that if I believed in the devil, I would think it sent Trump here to test us.

No report from Doctor, so no information out yet. Snopes is not a credible source.

No

That’s worthy of outloud guffaw

He still has enough presence of mind not to say that

yeah, he limited it to, "I am the chosen one."

Maybe he bit down on a ketchup packet then…🙄

I used to rely on Snopes, but how can they know that? It doesn’t jive with common sense.

A really poor speech. I know he doesn’t drink but it was delivered in such an unenthusiastic manner. He seemed to be almost uninterested. Really strange. Perhaps he is also becoming bored by lack of anything new to say.

You know and I that he was not going to change, he is a psycho and pathological liar. His dementia is getting worse and they know it. They had the worst convention ever.

This is the most nauseating, outrageous act I have ever heard. Anybody who buys this “transformation” should be ashamed of themselves. As Laura Durrell said, an AR-15 bullet would have ripped away his outer ear. I don’t believe the event was staged, but it is being exploited in the most cynical manner. He is an abomination and must be removed from the body politic on November 5th. This country can’t survive intact four more years of this evil.

I understand the feeling of exhaustion. Remember that’s what the republicans want you to feel.

Take a break, refresh your spirit, and then think about what you are going to be voting for. Vote blue all down the ticket, and bring your friends with you to vote blue as well.

Yes Amy how did we ever get this far out? To actually have someone try to overthrow an election it is beyond belief to me. But don’t worry, we have to have hope. I plan to mail some postcards to voters and I know that when the DNC starts I will get fired up! Good luck! :)

Vivian...YOU say what I believe most of us are thinking!

It IS disheartening to see Looney Trump get off from so many charges.

Plus adding in how many insanely stupid people are still/forever supporting him, along with our own reps and senators who have obviously lost their alleged minds. It's all doing a number on the rest of us, realizing these d.f.'s want to destroy our Constitution and basically our lives. At least he doesn't have the military backing him. Chin up, Vivian! It's gotta get better!
