DNC Day 4

[okla]

I'm behind because I had a networking thing tonight. Still watching her speak. ANYWAY, my BF was kind of a lesser-of-two-evils Hillary voter. Halfway through her speech, he pulled out his debit card with no prompt from me and made a donation and got a yard sign.


So I call her speech a success.

Fucking Kayleigh. Don't forget that heathen. Jeffrey Lord is so gross.

I miss Tim Russert.

I think this every Sunday morning.

I will say one thing about Chuck Todd's MTP skills and it's that he's better at it than David Gregory. Who is now on CNN with the trumpers.

Yeah, that's a low bar. Granted, I haven't really watched since TR passed. Tried with Gregory and couldn't do it. Haven't bother with Chuck Todd because of my opinion of him elsewhere. lol 

[pescalita]

You guys. I posted on FB a funny, my kids think Hilary looks like my mom and the 2yo said grandma's gonna be president.

MY grandma says he's not confused.

Her daughter and her granddaughters and her great granddaughters can be president.

😭😭😭😭😭

The video got me so hard, particularly the end with the generations thing.

I was so happy and now my blood pressure is rising. My stupid YR ex-president cousins is posting more stupid shit on all of Hillarys posts and were in a stupid fb fight. I really hate these family members. I think I need to avoid family functions until after November. 😓

All week, my mom (and DH) kept asking if I was okay (grrr) and I told them this election is very personal an emotional for me, and I'm bummed that I can't watch.  And then, like two hours later, mom would ask what's wrong!  I fucking told you; did I stutter?  (And I don't feel like getting all pissed right now and ranting about the sexist, juvenile entitlement of a grown man commandeering the ENTIRE living room ALL WEEK to watch TiVo'd history channel shows on the big screen and fucking baseball on his iPad - ON HEADPHONES!! - thereby banishing the SIX OTHER PEOPLE to far, dark corners!  I'm getting upset.  Lady glass of win break......)

Anyway, when I left, I was thinking "see you suckers after the election.  Bye Felicia".  My advice - don't engage!!

My cousin's husband is on FB ranting like "I didn't hear Hillary discuss RELIGIOUS LIBERTY and CHRISTIANITY!"

Thankfully someone else was like "Uhh, because she didn't have to. Christianity isn't under attack in this country." and another person was also in there trying to bring some common damn sense, so I can eat my in n out in peace and not get heartburn. NOT TODAY, SATAN.

Actually, CNN said the Ds talked more about God than the Rs....

Like he would ever watch CNN. 

[WOT?*]

Fuck this lady from Indiana who says she didn't address Radical Islam and Donald Trump reminded her of Ronald Reagan. She is a lying liar who did NOT pay attention to both conventions because RONALD REAGAN'S SPEECHWRITER ENDORSED HILLARY CLINTON! And look at the tweets of Republicans who say the Democrats are more Republican than Republicans, and they are the party that Republicans were thirty years ago in the manner of inclusion and acceptance. (blah blah blah.)

[lulu13]

I'm super annoyed that now it's all about courting the middle aged white male vote. Ugh

eclaires , I really wanted to participate, but we've been swamped with guests and travel and medical emergencies since March and I haven't had time to read the whole thread, let alone put something together. That trip to my parents' house was the end of my summer "adventures" so now I have time! Let me know what to do!

Ditto- I'm IN too...I'm so fired up. 
eclaires PM me & I'll try to make a sign at work today for my 2 girls

[annieblah]

I hope she doesn't go too much for white male votes . The whole race will come down to getting female voteRs to vote.

[secretlyevil]

I stopped posting when Hillary came on. I just wanted to listen. It was a moment of a lifetime. I don't want to start analyzing it for little while longer. I want to bask in it.

Also. I feel a drunken rant coming on. BRACE YOURSELVES

Anyway.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DID NOT TAKE ANYTHING FROM THE REPUBLICANS. THE REPUBLICANS TOOK ALL THEIR SHIT ESPECIALLY THEIR INTEGRITY AND LOVE OF THIS COUNTRY AND WHAT IT MEANS AND PUT IT ON THE CURB AND LISTED IT ON CRAIGSLIST FOR FREE.

YES! I retweeted this -

David axel rod keeps saying it wasn't a great speech. I feel like I watched something different. I thought it was great

See you all think Chuck Todd is so bad, but even without a spine, he is still better than CNN's panel of losers. I like Van Jones, but he's not great enough to make me want to sit through Jeffrey Lord, Corey Lewandowski, the other pro-Trump dipshits, and now, David Axelrod.

I'm on Team MSNBC.

Brian Williams was pretty awesome last night. More than once he said that we should put politics aside and just take in what a historic moment this is. He and Rachel have great chemistry together.

I appreciated he did that because I think it's very important to take a moment and enjoy it and discuss that.

Also why am I awake?

My cat started meowing at 6:15. I really need a night nanny for the cat.

Lol eclaires! you were on fire last night.

Lol the combo of champagne, watching history be made and the fire of patriotism in my blood is a crazy combination.

My phone was also autocorrecting random words into caps. It's like it knew I was at a caps caps caps level of typing.

Our chihuahua likes to sleep as close as possible to me (often right in between my legs). But in the mornings when she wakes up she likes to worm herself into my arms and snuggled up under my chin. And presses her face against mine - she doesn't stop until I give her kisses on her head and cheek. I'm like sleep. Please sleep.

Then she goes back to sleep for four hours and I have to get up. THE WORST.

[cinderbella]

Holy shit, I'm tired.

My 4:30 alarm clock is such a little bitch.

He posted some more horrible stuff about me and I just went to bed. When I woke up this morning the post was gone so either he had a moment of clarity or his wife ripped him a new one. Either way I'll be avoiding that part of the family until Nov. Best part is his fucking BIL is Hispanic and his niece is half hispanic. His sister and BIL are pissed.

If someone came to my door right now with any Hilalry swag I would easily drop $250. GLEEFULLY!

20% off in her online store right now with the code "StrongerTogether"!

Thanks! I just ordered the "women's rights are human rights" shirt and the white window cling for my car.

[jeaniebueller]

I heard on MJ today that Trump is now trying to distance himself from the RNC because the ratings for the DNC were much higher. he is trying to say that he had nothing to do with planning it and just showed up. I can't find an online source yet though. LOL LOL LOL

I'm right here with you. My head hurts!

I love that he loves this.

[thebulldog]

This morning I feel like we should all be at brunch after last night's epic party, eating hashbrowns and drinking bottomless coffees....really knowing we shouldn't have mimosas or that spicy bloody mary but we order them anyway.

Yes!  I'm pretty sure I'm never going to be able to hear Fight Song again without tearing up.

[EllieArroway]

What an awesome night/week. I am so proud of my party right now.

[EllieArroway]

Also, I just crawled out of bed, three hours after my alarm went off... About to roll into work looking like death but I don't even care.
