Look at the speakers..don't know how long I will be able to stand it...

I'll probably watch Biden and about 2 minutes of the Worm.

Last night I watched recorded episodes of "The Last Ship", "Ballers", and "Gotham". It was much more enjoyable (to me) than watching the convention.
I'll probably do something similar tonight... and just monitor the thread to see if anything interesting happens.

Yep...it was a 'special order' after so many complaints......and if you noticed they are off to the far ends of the stages....
Meanwhile outside the DNC they were burning the US and Israel's flag...while holding the reds flag.....

It took him 33 minutes to get to Hillary? What was he talking about before that? His hands? His genitals? How wonderful Putin is? Attacking Ted Cruz and criticizing the GOP? Threatening not to pay the rent on the venue? Flirting with Ivanka?
33 minutes???

Trump spent an entire hour with reporters firing one question after another.......well over 20 and he met every one head on..answered every question in the room....the reporters loved it! It was really a good press conference....
Hillary on the other hand, is running for President and hasn't done a news conference in almost a year?..and her last one she answered just 7 pre-viewed questions.

Trump did well today...
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/07/27/trump_hijacks_the_democrat_convention
But what Trump did today, I have never seen in my lifetime: A Republican presidential nominee go out and do a 10-minute, 30-minute, much less one-hour press conference and just refuting everything he's heard at the Democrat convention to date. He just blew it up. And, in addition to that, he answered questions about this email business and the hack and the Russians and so forth.
It just has the media outraged. They can't believe that Trump said some of the things that he said when he was commenting before he took questions on the speech by Bill Clinton last night -- which we're gonna get into, of course. Hang in there. Trump said -- and this is classic. This is a classic demonstration that he has a performer's ego and understands how to deploy it. He said, "I kept waiting.
-
RUSH: I am in awe here. This just has not been done. This is a literally hijacking. Like I was saying, I expected the first thing out of my mouth today and for awhile was gonna be the Bill Clinton speech last night. And I heard that Trump was gonna do a presser from Miami, and I said, "Okay, cool." But it wasn't until halfway through, maybe not even halfway through it that I realized the first thing I'm gonna do talking about today is Donald Trump, not Bill Clinton.
The first thing I'm gonna be talking about is Trump and this press conference and not Bill Clinton, not because of partisan preference, just because the news is the news. And the Democrat convention and what happened last night is now old news because of what Donald Trump did today, and there isn't a Republican -- certainly not a Republican presidential nominee -- who's ever done anything like this or who would.
Pick one. George H. W. Bush? No. This would never happen. He would be too disrespectful. "Not prudent." George W. Bush? Double-down no way. "Not gonna interfere in the political process. Not gonna sully, not gonna soil, not gonna dirty the process here by interceding in a political fashion. Not gonna do it. Not gonna go there." Who else? Reagan? Maybe, but that's so... Who knows? But the point is, there isn't a Republican nominee, there isn't a Republican candidate for nominee who would do it.
-
See comments above. Just knew Rush was going to react this way.

Well, sort of. At least in the beginning.
He seemed OK until they brought up Russia; then he brought up the volume and the ire and the invitation to Putin to find Hillary's lost e-mails.
There was also the time he told a reporter to "shut up," and when he called Anthony Weiner "a pervert and a sleazeball" and said "They keep him locked up in a room, they won't let him out, " and that Houma shows him classified material.
It was entertaining, in a sad way. Give Trump props for stealing the news cycle.

Do not like want to see Ted diminished, but Trump never called for the carpet bombing.

Will tell you something else. Trump position on the minimum wage was brilliant too.
He noted that it should largely be up to the states AND that it would hurt places like New York since jobs would leave.
Said we needed to make jobs pay more than the minimum wage, but...
'We have to take care of people' maybe $10.
In other words, he sees the 'animal spirits' element of it, knows that it will hurt job growth and gets to call Bernie a liar--
Bernie had stated that Trump wanted to lower the min wage.

Well bombing the s- out of them implies more precision than 'Carpet Bombing' them does.
I like Cruz. In context at the time, the comment was meant to sound tough.
Yay Cruz. But Trump is coming off 'smart' here...
Trump is going to need Tim Scott, Mike Lee , Sasse, Cruz and even Rubio in the Senate.
Hopefully, there is some kind of rapprochement before Nov.

http://theweek.com/speedreads/588147/donald-trump-kicks-gop-debate-by-saying-american-wages-are-high
And, regarding minimum wage, Trump said this this morning:
Asked to clarify his position at a press conference on Wednesday morning in Doral, Florida, Trump said once again that the federal minimum wage should be raised to "at least $10" but that "states should really call the shots."
He talks out of both sides of his mouth. He says the FEDERAL minimum wage should be AT LEAST $10 but that the states should "call the shots"(whatever the hell that means).
Which is it? State or federal? And if it's state, why even express that it should be AT LEAST $10?
-
Well bombing the s- out of them implies more precision than 'Carpet Bombing' them does.
I like Cruz. In context at the time, the comment was meant to sound tough.
Yay Cruz. But Trump is coming off 'smart' here...
Trump is going to need Tim Scott, Mike Lee , Sasse, Cruz and even Rubio in the Senate.
Hopefully, there is some kind of rapprochement before Nov.
Really? By whose reckoning? Sounds like the same thing to me.
Trump is not and has never come off "sounding smart." He's a bull who carries his china shop around on his back.
-
Which is it? State or federal? And if it's state, why even express that it should be AT LEAST $10?
See above. The federal part is to prove Bernie wrong and motivate people to work (animal spirits in behavioral economics).
The state part is acknowledges that while he may suggest, he will allow NY and AL to set wage policy for local conditions.
Is there a political element to it? Sure. But Hillary and Bernie would have AL at 15$$

A bit crass, yes. But how many decades have we been waiting for an actual fighter on our side.

Why not just say "let states handle it"? He can't say that because Trump has to stick his nose into everything: minimum wage, transgender bathrooms, law enforcement.
He's an authoritarian.

He's an authoritarian.
Often true. But not this time. The min wage position, while not pure Milton Friedman, is directionally correct. The video is worth a watch.
Maybe only let Trump speak in FLA after he is well fed and has had sleep..

When has Trump ever "fought" for anything, except eminent domain and making sure veterans' groups didn't demonstrate in front of Trump Tower?
I think Trump is a certifiable nut case and I don't want him anywhere near calling the shots about weapons in the US arsenal.

Trump has 10 point plan for the VA. Bet he does answer WH hot line sometimes.
As for the football, he has many more grandkids to lose than Hillary.

Trump doesn't know anything. That's his problem. That's why he shoots his mouth off. Like today, not knowing the difference between Tim KAINE and Tom KEAN.

Since the FBI and NSA were not capable securing all of Hillary's emails, Trump is asking the Russians to do it.
How about the time Hillary cackled when she got a rapist off in the 1970s?

Moreover, there is the 'unwritten' chapter that Trump referred to today.
Telling us the abuse that Hillary and Betsy Wright heaped on Monica, Juanita and K Willey will not be off the table.

So there is no danger in Russia having the ability to hack into the US organizations? That a hostile foreign power can do so *is* a national security issue.
And that is a different issue than Hillary's emails. Much the same as how Timothy McVeigh was a different issue to Aldrich Ames.

Trump can't talk about the missing chapter because he's done everything Bill has and probably much worse.
As for Hillary, who is worse? The pedophile rapist or the woman letting her husband off the hook or laughing about it. It's a wash. They're both filth.
Trump likes give warnings. Like he did with Ted/Heidi Cruz, starting around Jan.
While nasty in the primary, we can expect more in the general.
In other words, Trump is not finished.

No HJ, it is what has already happened to Hillary's emails. Comey let Hillary off, until Trump brought it back front and center.
Furthermore, if the NSA DID brief the FBI on what was lost and the impacts, Comey definitely should have indicted.

I hesitate to criticize speeches in real time, because I don't know what others are hearing. But this Kaine speech just doesn't seem big.

Trump's biggest debate fear is that @HillaryClinton will make up an acronym for a non-existant agency & DJT will respond thinking it's real

Obama:
You gotta get in the arena and vote for Hillary even if you dont align with her on all the issues.
Our side needs to do the same . The dems always get together in the end.

Sputnik news is a paid-for propaganda organ of the Russian government. This isn't me complaining about it, this is actually who pays for that site and it's employees.
You keep doubling-down on Russian control.
While not as reliable as Sputnik news, ABC news has now picked up the story.
Entertaining

Outline of Glenn Becks show this evening RE: RUSSIAN / DNC EMAIL HACKS
CHAOS to get Trump elected.
Vladmire Putin - Russian intelligence directly intervened in or political process. Three security firms (SecureWorks/Crowd Stike/Fidelis Cybersecurity) have confirmed the russian military and KGB cyber attacks on the DNC. It is not confirmed they gave the info to Wikileaks, but 2+2...
Julian Assange - hosted show World of Tomorrow on Russia of Today - strange since Wikileaks claims they open govts, yet RT is owned by Govt.
Snowden - safely tucked away in the FSB. Putin declared the FSB be put directly under him.
To sum up:
DNC emails hacked - given to Wikileaks/Julian Assange who hosted TV on Russian TV before he got into legal trouble and had to hide out in the Equadoran embassy by the FSB, who also protects Snowden and who is now in Moscow under advice under Assange and is protected by FSB, who is directly under Putin.
Hillary Clinton (enemy of Putin) - Putin blamed her claiming she was supporting regime change against him. He is supporting Trump. Russia, under Putin, supports right wing politics:
Give money to LePenn in France. Give money to Golden Don in Greece, funds also went to Germany and Brittains UK-IP. Putin was delighted by Brexit. Russia wants to see a weak EU, a weak NATO and a weaker US. All entities that represent a check on Russias power and influence. They are putting together another empire. They are concerned about picking up the scraps after the downfall of the West.
Alexander Dugan - he advised Putin on the annexation of Crimea and parts of Georgia. Also leading charge of leading Russia to use far right in Europe. Started his own party, logo means chaos. He believes Hitler didn't go far enough. He believes a new authoritarian global Hitler will change the world fundamentally, but through chaos. In 99, he said the US would split in 5 parts - people in US already supported that. Looking to bring Dictators all over the world who will cobble together under Russia's banner. He claims revolution is coming if the parties don't give the people the power.
Donald Trump (no business ties) - doesn't seem to have anything to do with this. He may not have anything in Russia, but evidence that some of his closest campaign advisors do. What does Russia have invested in Trump? He needs to release his tax returns.
Paul Manafort - used to be top campaign/communications advisor for former Prime Minister of Pres of Ukraine. That's where Russia invaded. 2014 crisis, which resulted in his removal from office. Remains close ally of Putin.
Carter Page is Trumps foreign policy advisor. Had close connection with Gazprom, which is Russian energy company, run by former Putin aid. Under Putin, they raised their stakw in Gazprom after they jailed and killed a bunch of people, they have major share. Page advised Gazprom, on their largest deals. In 08, he formed Global Energy Capital LLC, which mostly councils foreign investors on buying assets in Russia. Page admitted the sanctions from Clinton/Obama, hurt him, by "drying up some of his potential deals". He is also an investor with Gazprom and blames Obama/Clinton sanctions for driving down stock.
Richard Gurt - Advisor with Alfa Bank, which is the largest commercial bank in Russia. He is on board with investment fund of large shares in Gazprom.
RNC passed agenda at convention, which was the parties softer stance on the Ukraine and Russia.
WHO? Russia
WHAT? Stole DNC emails and leaked them
WHY? Chaos
WHAT'S NEXT? New World Order
-
The median family income and Brexit are key drivers.

Hillary and the DNC were careless with their emails. Any entity could have done the hacking.
Brexit is not necessarily good for Russia.

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

Trump likes give warnings. Like he did with Ted/Heidi Cruz, starting around Jan.
While nasty in the primary, we can expect more in the general.
Trump is detestable. Pure scum.

Most of us do not want to see Hillary win, even if it means we elect someone who was not our first or second choice in the primary.
