Joseph Biden.
“It is the honor of my life to accept the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States of America.”
Ady Barkan: "[W]e do not guarantee this most basic human right. Everyone living in America should get the health care they need ... Even during this terrible crisis, Donald Trump and Republican politicians are trying to take away millions of people's health insurance."
If you could watch this speech without crying, you’re a better person than I.
John Kerry: "On June 6, 1944, young Americans gave their lives on the beaches of Normandy to liberate the world from tyranny. Out of the ashes of that war, we made peace and rebuilt the world. That was and remains exceptional. It is the opposite of everything Trump stands for."
“When this president goes overseas, it isn’t a goodwill mission. It’s a blooper reel. He breaks up with our allies and writes love letters to dictators. America deserves a president who is looked up to, not laughed at.” — John Kerry at DNC.
Dan Rather: “Joe Biden now has Colin Powell and Cindy McCain speaking for him at the Democratic Convention. But Donald Trump has the gun totin' couple from St. Louis. So... I call that even.”
Jill Biden: "Joe's purpose has always driven him forward. His strength of will is unstoppable. And his faith is unshakable — because it's not in politicians or political parties — or even himself. It's in the providence of God. His faith is in you. In us."
So those were some highlights from the Democratic Convention last night.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m depressed and scared shitless.
This has to happen. Trump is poison and he has to go.
The virus is accelerating.
Thanks to Trump insisting colleges and schools reopen without any plans to slow the pandemic, the virus is raging.
Federal unemployment benefits were abruptly cut off July 31. People aren’t going to be able to pay their rent.
People aren’t going to be able to eat.
I’m not an alarmist but I am ALARMED.
We’re headed for Armageddon in just a couple of weeks if someone doesn’t take positive action.
I’ve lost hope of that.
“SAVE THE POST OFFICE!”
Yes, that freak PotusVirus Donald Trump tweeted that yesterday.
How mentally ill does someone have to be to do that?
Especially since he’s the one directly responsible for destroying it.
By that tweet, he’s a classic abuser.
Got it? Trump is the abusive husband and America is his battered wife.
He slaps the shit out of her then throws a box of candy at her and gets enraged when she doesn’t thank him.
And by the way, the post office is still being sabotaged. Trump already did his part - he planted the seeds of doubt among idiot Americans.
Unless he loses in a crushing landslide, we’re fucked.
So that’s my mood today.
Paralyzed with fear and rage.
Have a nice day.
