My kid wants to stay up and watch, but he's 7 and he will ask approximately 187941321 questions about democracy and the elections.
It's quite the conundrum
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that part, lol. Part of why I'm probably going to make DD go to bed on time, and then wake her up a couple hours later for HRC.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
That seems like a shorter list of speakers tonight. Does it get started later or is HRC going to go for 2 hours?

Well, I am anti-cop-who-gets-away-with-murder. I can see how that makes me look completely anti-cop. Assholes. Keep ranting, Rudy. You ain't shit.
My sister was on the NYPD during Guilliani and guess what - they hated him. He was harsh on their unions and tried to screw them over. Now all of the sudden he wants to be their buddy?
I have been watching the DNC all week and even recording so I can go back. My favorite part though is following you ladies with live commentary during the whole thing. I havent been able to jump in fast enough with live comments because I want to listen so badly, but this has been great. It is the most I have ever followed an election and honestly I think the first time I watched the convention start to finish.
I can tell you, I was so moved yesterday by every single speech that I just dont know how tonight can come close. I'm just most excited to hear HRC because I would expect her speech writers have been working 24/7 retooling based in the prior days speeches.
Did you see the lineup for tonight? It looks like they will be having a tribute to fallen police officers and Dallas Sheriff Lupe Valdez. Maybe they are stalking your posts here.
I swear, someone is keeping him high on acid or something. Why were the police officers trying to come in? Were there actually police officers? Did they have tickets? I have a lot of questions.
Oh there were so many questions. And Cuomo and the other person shot it down pretty quick. But he said he asked some officers outside (not sure if they were on-duty/in uniform/working the convention/just there/really officers) why they weren't going in and they said they said "police aren't allowed inside and they wouldn't want to go in anyway." I am sure none of this happened. But Fox News isn't airing the convention, but I am sure they will be discussing this specifically. Cuomo said he was going to find out if this is true or not and that it hasn't been verified, but Fox News, etc. isn't going to care about that point. People think this is true. Dems are for the black people, Trump is for the police. Period. And you can't be pro-both apparently.SaveSave
It's really hurting my heart that this is happening to a lot of people I know. They've become so brainwashed on this issue - to the point of becoming over-the-top angry and borderline aggressive when it's discussed - that there's absolutely no getting through to them.
I don't know how this can be fixed. I don't think there's anything that ANYONE can say or do to convince them otherwise at this point. It's really scary. I don't want to discount what some of my friends have seen and dealt with, and the fear they may feel when they go to work, but they cannot have this kind of attitude if this is the job they've signed up for.
Frank Lee Spoken @frankleespoken7 Conservatives mad #BradleyCooper was at DNC because he portrayed Chris Kyle!!! Does this mean Morgan Freeman isn't really God??? OHNO🙀 7:13 AM - 28 Jul 2016
You guys, the DNC is definitely stalking us. We are kind of amazing. I'm expecting a call any day to be an HRC advisor.
I'm waiting for my call to style FHTK so he can be CHTK (currently hot Tim Kaine).
I think my credentials speak for themselves. I AM REALLY GOOD AT SHOPPING. I inadvertently buy swimwear for my kids that coordinate because I am that good.

Did anyone see Giuliani on CNN this morning? He said that police officers were denied entry into the convention and told they could not come in. He also said that the Democratic party just does not like cops and has anyone (specifically Clinton or Obama) come out and apologized to the officers involved in the Freddie Gray case for convicting them before they were put on trial and a black judge found them not guilty. Of course it is all lies and nonsense. But there are 700K police officers in the US. Many are going for Trump solely on the officer issue. I really hope Clinton explicitly addresses this issue tonight. Obama briefly addressed it last night, but I really think something more needs to be said. They need to make it clear that they don't think all officers are bad, but they want to ensure that the bad officers never get to be officers again or for another day. I don't know if they will change any minds, but that is a large portion of people and many voted D before. They definitely don't need them switching to Trump.
Okay, I don't get people.
If you are a GOOD Police Officer, wouldn't you WANT bad ones held accountable? The bad ones make your job harder. The bad ones undermine the good ones job, integrity, everything. You should stand up and say "This is wrong" as a cop.
It's like "responsible gun owners" being against any type of gun control. If you are ACTUALLY responsible, don't you WANT guns to be kept from the irresponsible? The irresponsible are the ones making you look bad.
I just, I don't get it. I don't.
PREACH
I had to throw out two cases recently due to blatant Miranda violations by experienced detectives who should've known damn better.
