Is it just his shirts that have come out of his closet so far?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Love Barack, but he has now started to go on too long. Not unusual for leaders like him

 

[el midgetron]

Seems like most of the highlights postsed since the convention started revolve around DJT. I am sure many struggling Americans find it super comforting that 90% of the Democrat platform is about “stuffing the orange bully into a locker”.

Are you just stupid or a complete moron by choice?

“We are not going to feed into the hatred”

Feeding into the hatred is literally all they have.

go here

Pres. Obama is onstage now just eviscerating Trump.

Oh man, this is a brutal takedown, is anyone watching this? Not only is it eloquently stated, as expected from someone like Obama, but it is 100% spot on. Sad to believe that any American could listen and not agree with any of it.

You mean like believing Walz wears flannel shirts for anything over than PR?

Even if he does, what substance does a flannel shirt signify?

DEMOCRACY ISN'T JUST A BUNCH OF ABSTRACT PRINCIPLES AND DUSTY LAWS IN SOME BOOK SOMEWHERE. IT IS THE VALUES WE LIVE BY. IT IS THE WAY WE TREAT EACH OTHER, INCLUDING THOSE WHO DON'T LOOK LIKE US OR PRAY LIKE US OR SEE THE WORLD EXACTLY LIKE WE DO. [APPLAUSE] THAT, THAT SENSE OF MUTUAL RESPECT HAS TO BE PART OF OUR MESSAGE.


OUR POLITICS HAVE BECOME SO POLARIZED THESE DAYS THAT ALL OF US ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM SEEM SO QUICK TO ASSUME THE WORST IN OTHERS, UNLESS THEY AGREE WITH US ON EVERY SINGLE ISSUE. WE START THINKING THAT THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS TO SCALD AND SHAME AND OUT YELL THE OTHER SIDE. AND AFTER A WHILE, REGULAR FOLKS JUST TUNE OUT, OR THEY DON'T BOTHER TO VOTE.

NOW, THAT APPROACH MAY WORK FOR THE POLITICIANS WHO JUST WANT ATTENTION AND THRIVE ON DIVISION, BUT IT WON'T WORK FOR US. TO MAKE PROGRESS ON THE THINGS WE CARE ABOUT, THE THINGS THAT REALLY AFFECT PEOPLE'S LIVES, WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT WE'VE ALL GOT OUR BLIND SPOTS AND CONTRADICTIONS AND PREJUDICED. AND -- PREJUDICES.

AND THAT IF WE WANT TO WIN OVER THOSE WHO ARE NOT YET READY TO SUPPORT OUR CANDIDATES, WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THEIR CONCERNS AND MAYBE 2EARN 2OMETHING 2N 2HE PROCESS. AFTER ALL, IF A PARENT OR GRANDPARENT OCCASIONALLY SAYS SOMETHING THAT MAKES US CRINGE, WE DON'T AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME THEY ARE BAD PEOPLE.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE WORLD IS MOVING FAST, THAT THEY NEED TIME AND MAYBE A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT TO CATCH UP. OUR FELLOW CITIZENS DESERVE THE SAME GRACE WE HOPE THEY WILL EXTEND TO US.



[APPLAUSE]

THAT'S HOW WE CAN BUILD A TRUE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY, ONE THAT CAN GET THINGS DONE. AND BY THE WAY, THAT DOES NOT JUST MATTER TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY, THE REST OF THE WORLD IS WATCHING TO SEE IF WE CAN ACTUALLY PULL THIS OFF.

NO NATION, NO SOCIETY HAS EVER TRIED TO BUILD A DEMOCRACY AS BIG AND AS DIVERSE AS OURS BEFORE. ONE THAT INCLUDES PEOPLE THAT OVER DECADES HAVE COME FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE, ONE WHERE OUR ALLEGIANCES AND OUR COMMUNITY ARE DEFINED NOT BY RACE OR BLOOD, BUT BY A COMMON CREED. AND THAT'S WHY WHEN WE UPHOLD OUR VALUES, THE WORLD IS REAL BRIGHT.

WHEN WE DON'T, THE WORLD IS A LITTLE DIMMER, AND DICTATORS AND AUTOCRATS FEEL EMBOLDENED. AND OVERTIME, WE BECOME LESS SAFE. WE SHOULDN'T BE THE WORLD'S POLICEMAN, AND WE CANNOT ERADICATE EVERY CRUELTY AND INJUSTICE IN THE WORLD, BUT AMERICA CAN BE AND MUST BE A FORCE FOR GOOD, DISCOURAGING CONFLICT, FIGHTING DISEASE, PROMOTING HUMAN RIGHTS, PROTECTING THE PLANET FROM CLIMATE CHANGE, DEFENDING FREEDOM, BROKERING PEACE. THAT'S WHAT, HER'S BELIEVES -- THAT'S WHAT KAMALA HARRIS BELIEVES AND SO DO MOST AMERICANS.

Lakohta awaits

I don’t know what you problem with Lakohta is. You posted TDS stuff too.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

NOW, I, I, I, I, I, I KNOW THESE IDEAS CAN FEEL PRETTY NAI IDEAS CAN FEEL PRETTY NA VE RIGHT NOW. WE LIVE IN A TIME OF SUCH CONFUCIAN AND -- CONFUSION AND RANCOR, WITH A CULTURE THAT PUTS A PREMIUM ON THINGS THAT DON'T LAST. MONEY, FAME, STATUS, LIKES. WE CHASE THE APPROVAL OF STRANGERS ON OUR PHONES. WE BUILD ALL MATTER OF WALLS AND FENCES AROUND OURSELVES, AND THEN WE WONDER WHY WE FEEL SO ALONE. WE DON'T TRUST EACH OTHER AS MUCH BECAUSE WE DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO KNOW EACH OTHER. AND IN THAT SPACE BETWEEN US, POLITICIANS AND ALGORITHMS TEACH US TO CARICATURE EACH OTHER AND TROLL EACH OTHER AND FEAR EACH OTHER.

BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS, CHICAGO, ALL ACROSS AMERICA, IN BIG CITIES AND SMALL TOWNS, AWAY FROM ALL THE NOISE, THE TIES THAT BIND US TOGETHER ARE STILL THERE. WE STILL COACH LITTLE LEAGUE AND LOOK OUT FOR OUR ELDERLY NEIGHBORS.

WE STILL FEED THE HUNGRY INTO CHURCHES AND MOSQUES AND SYNAGOGUES AND TEMPLES. WE SHARE THE SAME PRIDE WHEN OUR ALL AND PICK ATHLETES COMPETE FOR THE -- OLYMPIC ATHLETES COMPETE FOR THE 2OLD. BECAUSE THE VAST MAJORITY OF US DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT'S BETTER AND DIVIDED. -- BITTER AND DIVIDED. WE WANT SOMETHING BETTER. WE WANT TO BE BETTER. AND THE JOY AND THE EXCITEMENT THAT WE ARE SEEING AROUND THIS CAMPAIGN TELLS US WE ARE NOT ALONE.

compare that to:

We’ll have an economy based on wind. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I’ve studied it better than anybody. I know it’s very expensive. They’re made in China and Germany mostly — very few made here, almost none. But they’re manufactured tremendous — if you’re into this — tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint — fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything — right? So they make these things and then they put them up.

Their entire world revolves around DJT.

“Illinois Governor, @GovPritzker, is not only grotesquely and slovenly obese, he is also retarded.

He used his DNC speech to mock Trump’s wealth and business acumen in comparison to his own…

Meanwhile, Pritzker is worth $3.5 billion, all of which is inherited, as one of the heirs to the Hyatt hotel fortune.

Context: There are 13 Pritzkers who are also billionaires.

JBs only accomplishment - after a lifetime of mediocre business endeavors, fake philanthropy, and failed attempts at buying public office - was spending $200 million of his grandfather’s money to win his gubernatorial seat in 2018.”



“Donald Trump is rich in only one thing, STUPIDITY!”

What a bunch of clowns.

 

[el midgetron]

She reached down deep for “this”. It sounds like a seal barking.

 

[el midgetron]

I think this sums up the DNC better than almost anything. Empty pandering to people that shows just how little understanding of, and disconnected to them you are.

Can Women Pray Next to Men? - Islam Question & Answer

If a woman prays alongside a man but there is a barrier between them, such as a wall, or a gap which is wide enough for a person to stand and pray there, then the prayer is valid according to the majority of scholars.
