Was that "profile move" intentional, or is he just looking at the crowds to the left and the right?
America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Thanks a lot, @INVAR !

Says a lot about you.  You're a helluva adversary on the board here.   :beer:

You didn't answer my question there fella. 

What does the Doc say?

You all good to run the marathon, do the first man to Mars mission or are you stuck poolside?
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I agree. It is old school populism at its core. It is promoting a strong, authoritarian central government. As predicted.

Yup!

I don't know for sure but I think this sets the record for most registered Democrats speaking in primetime at a Republican convention

In the past, she gets credentials from some media outlet. MSNBC, Mother Jones, the usual suspects.

I have a hard time with that right hand. Would like to pin it behind his back.

If it was just a tiny bit smaller wouldn't notice it...

I love Ivanka but she basically just adopted the entire Democratic platform on women's "rights" and "Republicans" applauded. What?

His gesturing reminds me of someone....  Now if he begins to pound the podium he will have gone full Hitler.


Never go full Hitler

He said he was going to outline his plan for America.  How long must I wait for that?

I was talking to a woman last night who was unlucky enough to escape Mussolini's Italy as a child and end up in post-war Yugoslavia. She said he reminds her of Mussolini with the gestures.

Very much like a guy from Italy in the thirties.
