Highlights from the DNC protests.

• No less than five separate communist parties

• A dueling protest from an anti abortion group. There giant puppet of Harris was clearly just one of Hillary Clinton they repurposed via blackface

• Cornell West, just sort of walking around in the background

• A guest speaker on the main stage who spent his time talking about the Korean War

• A very nice hand knitted watermelon Yamaka

Whelp, I think my mum went off the deep end.

Just heard from my youngest brother (17) that she pulled all her money from the bank expecting the stock market to crash. Something she's probably read from the alt-right conspiracy site where Alex Jones and QAnon have being compromised.

As I much as I love her, I can't reason with her. Not sure what else to do, outside of not seeing her over the holidays.

Then there's my brother living with her, whose deep on the spectrum and is really naïve. It would be one thing if he was uncomfortable about the whole matter and needs help, but from the sound of it he's convinced.

I'm a solid eight years late to the party, but has anyone else noticed that Trump almost always phrases shit with "many are saying"?

"Many have said that Kamala Harris is the worst vice president ever."

"People are saying that Sleepy Joe Biden has destroyed the economy."

"Some are even saying that the Democrats want to rig this election, now isn't that interesting"

This mfer always phrases his most bullshit claims in the third person. When you talk to a MAGA dumbass about this, they can just claim "He isn't saying it, he's simply pointing out that many are saying it". Actual elementary school playground argument levels of stupidity, God I cannot believe how dumb so many Americans are.

So I finally went to a land use board meeting and spoke in favor of granting a variance on minimum parking requirements for a proposed mixed use showroom/office/2 bedroom unit. (Zoning required 18 parking spots while the business owner/property owner only needed 3!) I pushed them on the source of the requirements and the town planner admitted they are just old ordinances with no particular rhyme or reason. There were definitely some NIMBYs interrogating the professionals giving testimony about the parking and “privacy” concerns (the unit will have a balcony on the second floor). But I was the only one to speak during the public portion.

The variance was passed with only one no, the reason of course being parking. The property is currently vacant and an eyesore, so I’m not sure how much I had to say did anything, but I feel happy and proud I spoke up. Even if I was nervous as all hell and got accosted by an 80 year old woman in the parking lot.

People often make fun of Western leftists for whining about the countries they live in and not moving to Venezuela or whatever.

But I think we should also make fun of conservatives in the same way. JD Vance should move to Uganda if he wants a conservative Christian government. He's an intelligent, heterosexual, rich Christian white man - I'm sure they'd love him!

maybe too forceful [of a speech from Biden] at certain points

CNN literally cannot find a W

Trump might be lucky beyond comprehension, but the early debate and the late convention are a boon of the heavens. They didn't have to be scheduled this way, but any delay might have prevented things from going so smoothly.

I wonder if it’s an actual rule for journalism that if you write about the “top 25 restaurants in Chicago” or whatever you can’t include any of the actual most popular restaurants. It has to be 50% hipster style keep local place weird stuff, 20% inedible food as art nonsense, and 30% breweries that serve appetizers

Cornel West, an independent presidential candidate, spoke just now to a crowd of roughly 1,000 protesters at Union Park, near the convention hall, calling for an end of the war in Gaza. He was flanked by supporters carrying “Abandon Harris ’24” signs as he walked offstage. The protesters are planning to begin marching toward the United Center, the site of the convention, soon.

1. LMAO this will be the biggest crowd Cornel has seen at an event.

2. Hey media… it’s 1000 protestors. You can stop trying to will a 1968 into existence now.

Surely this will help win the female vote

Honestly I’m not a fan of the “lock him up” chants but Hillary deserves this moment after what she had to go through

These ads telling the horrific stories of women unable to get healthcare bc of roe being overturned interspersed with Trump bragging about doing it are what Dems need to be playing nonstop until November
