Well…I’ll admit it…I watched another night of the convention last night and will probably watch the final night tonight…it is nice to see a party that is showing us that happiness and joy can be part of politics again and be fun…and I just love the digs that the speakers are getting in against the idiot trump and I imagine he’s not too happy with that…trump is finally getting called out for his bullshit and ever day he shrinks a bit more from it.;..you know, it’s the whole bully thing that when you ridicule them, they stop being scary…and I discovered that C-span is covering the convention with no talking heads interrupting to “explain” what is happening…I can figure that out on my own and I don’t need the “bothsiderism” of the media…this country has been terribly damaged by this bullshit and I just don’t want to hear it anymore…so, I’ll be back there for another dose of hope tonight…after our AG spoke last night and tore into the 2025 project, I think our governor is on the speaker’s list for tonight and that will be cool…

Watched part of the convention last night…
Well…I usually don’t watch much of political conventions since they are a little too rah, rah for me…but I was a little interested how a virtual convention was going to work so it sucked me in a little bit…and what struck me is how damn big the “big tent” that the dems speak about is…basically all the good about America was on display last night..all the people who are still trying hard to make this country a better place and who have been damaged by trump and his cronies…one of the most poignant was a woman from Arizona who lost her father to the virus and who described her father as “healthy, with only one pre-existing condition…he trusted trump when he said that the virus was under control”…after going out when Arizona reopened prematurely, he contracted the virus and died alone with a nurse holding his hand….I listened to a few of the speeches and Bernie did a good job of bringing his followers into the fold and cutting off the “Bernie or no one” crap and made sure everyone knew how important this election is. At the end, Michelle Obama did an 18 minute speech that just showed the contrast of us versus them…thoughtful and hopeful…but of course, then trump had to go off on a rage filled twitter rampage that didn’t make a bit of sense but really showed that she drew blood from the thin skinned moron..oh, then to close they had Stephen Stills and Billy Porter (still don’t know who that is but he can sing) do “For what it’s worth” and that made me smile…now, I think they could get Neil if they asked….that would be cool…
