I think we need another thread..
Here are the videos again:
Carry on…
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Let’s finish the job.
Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.
We won’t go back.
Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.
Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.
Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.
Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.
Donald Jessica Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!
The worst democrat is better than the best republican.
People are weird.
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.
Republicans in disarray!
… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact
It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.
Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.
fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)
Their freedom requires your slavery.
If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!
Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.
The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.
Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.
I am pretty sure Katy Tur wasn’t always such a bootlicking sycophant.
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

I am liking the music and the joy of this DNC!
Omnes Omnibus
Harris was glowing.
Omnes Omnibus
Dogs are good judges of character.
Leto
The party of Joy, Hope, and the Future; the contrast could not be more clear.
HumboldtBlue
I’ve seen several comments regarding how exciting and fun the new roll call is, and I sense it’s here to stay.
TooManyJens
Ana Navarro going ALL the way in, damn. And I love that she’s directly addressing the lies that the GOP is telling to Latinos (and that Latino Republicans themselves are telling), that Democrats are just like the dictators they may have fled.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
I like how Navarro is connecting MAGA to what’s happening with Maduro in Venezuela
Leto
Apparently, per MSNBC, both arenas are sold out.
🎶 Let the ketchup hit the walls
Let the ketchup hit the walls

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! 🎶

Partner is teasing me because any time I cry even one tear, my nose starts running, and the tissue box was empty so I had to run to the kitchen for a napkin. She calls me water-works when that happens :p
TaMara
For someone who was going to take a break, I’m sure here a lot this week, LOL. But who can write with all this excitement going on?
Can’t wait for Doug and the Obamas!
Omnes Omnibus
@Leto: Beyonce is going show up at one and Taylor Swift at the other.
dmsilev
@Leto: Apparently the day one TV ratings of the DNC were 20% higher than for day one of the RNC.
Fake numbers, I’m sure.
SpaceUnit
I thought the roll call would be sorta boring, but it was a pure celebration of life. Damn.
The GOP’s Klan rally was a sad joke compared to this convention. They’re in big trouble.
Leto
@Omnes Omnibus: heads would literally explode.
Edit: @dmsilev: I saw that; 20M v 18M. Just day 1. Can’t wait to see the individual day break down #, and the overall total. I wonder if we can get streaming numbers as well? I’m sure we can.
KatKapCC
ROFL two part-2 threads :D
brendancalling
I didn’t catch the name of the Latina speaking, but she is fucking AMAZING.
Started funny, then that pivot to escaping communist dictatorship in SA, and comparing them to Trump—perfect pitch.
and here’s Chuck Schumer, trying to dance and looking like Grandpa Munster. Oy vey
ETA: That was Ana Navarro? I cannot believe I didn’t recognize her. I used to cover her when I was at Raw Story. I’m getting face blind as I get older.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@SpaceUnit:
A real contrast to all of the “Mass Deportation Now!” signs
KatKapCC
@brendancalling: That was Ana Navarro. She’s awesome.
Steve in the ATL
@Omnes Omnibus: You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinnin’ top
SatanicPanic
@brendancalling: Ana Navarro
and yeah, Schumer is one dorky man
Baud
@KatKapCC:
Dems in Diarray!
Leto
@KatKapCC: yeah; Cole with the traditional Bigfoot. Tale as old as time…
Ken
@Leto: @dmsilev: I suspect the DNC ratings will be higher again. Let me check…
RNC Tuesday Night: Rubio, Cruz, DeSantis, Lake, Stefanik, Ramaswamy, and obvious anagram* Reince Priebus. Yeah, I’m thinking that wasn’t exactly a draw.
* Thank you, Mr. Pierce.
KatKapCC
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): The right’s message are all centered around who they hate. The left’s are focused on who we love and care about.
VFX Lurker
That was the lovely Ana Navarro. She rocked it.
For folks interested, here’s Day 2 of the programming schedule.
brendancalling
@SatanicPanic: updated my comment.
she was fucking amazing.
Chet Murthy
@SatanicPanic: She used to be a Republican activist, but TCFG’s reign of error brought her to our side, and she’s been pretty good.
SatanicPanic
@Ken: ok I have a question- what’s the anagram? I know it’s obvious so I’m asking for a friend who has been wondering about this for years
lamh47
baby that roll call was 🔥
you can tell the coordinator for this convention are Black women (no really go check out the list of folks coordinating th convention along with Jaime Harrison)… Patti Labelle, DJ Cassidy (him and his “pass the MIC” roll call is a fixture on BET and award shows).. Lil Jon!
Georgia for the absolute win!
more than anything else tho, the maga stans ae BIG mad and seething about it 😂😂
HumboldtBlue
Yup.
Chuck Schumer has all the jazz of a wet knish.
SatanicPanic
@Chet Murthy: oh yeah I totally forgot
Leto
MSNBC didn’t show Navarro’s speech, so I’ll catch on YouTube tomorrow. I mean, Schumer’s ok but I wish they’d play Harris’ audio feed. They have her up on split screen so I’m more interested in that.
Chet Murthy
@SatanicPanic: remove the vowels.
Scout211
One of the live updates on NBC News:
So true, best political playlist ever.
SpaceUnit
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):
Pure Joy vs Pure Misery.
Leto
@Ken: Reince… PREEEE-bus. I can’t remember who the hell said that, oh so many years ago, but I literally can’t hear or see his name without thinking that. Name-pause-PREEEE-bus… lol
SatanicPanic
@Chet Murthy: I swear I’m not even stoned
Pubic rinse?
🤷♂️
KatKapCC
@SatanicPanic: It’s not really an anagram, but if you take out the vowels, it’s “RNC PR BS”. Fitting for the former chair.
SatanicPanic
@KatKapCC: omg thank you.
Leto
@Scout211: @HumboldtBlue: every time republicans try to use a semi-popular artists music, they get cease and desist letters. That’s why all they have is Kid Rock, and… I don’t know who else. It’s just that walking pile of herpies and cold sores.
On our side, everyone is more than happy to let Dems use their music. I’m sure there’s artists who are genuinely disappointed that one of their songs wasn’t picked for this. Everyone wants to be a part of this.
JOY!
Scout211
What song was played for California? I missed it.
Ken
@SatanicPanic: I don’t think Pierce had an anagram in mind. He just thought the name looked like one, so always referred to Priebus that way.
You can check the Internet Anagram Server to see if any of its suggestions amuse. PUBIC ERE RINSE, RE INCUBI SPREE, or CRIB PEES URINE, perhaps.
SpaceUnit
Stay on script, Bernie. Don’t wander off.
KatKapCC
@Leto: Don’t forget Ted Nugent.
I mean, please forget him, forget you ever knew he existed.
But him, too.
HumboldtBlue
Tim Walz mocking Trump’s accordion hands.
dmsilev
@Leto: The Onion did a story at one point along the lines of “Reince Preibus forced to return to his home dimension after being tricked into saying his name backwards”.
KatKapCC
@Scout211: California Love by Tupac and Dre, of course!
eclare
@lamh47:
Georgia absolutely won that roll call!
David 🐝KHive🐝 Koch
Wow! How did they get Larry David to do this speech
SatanicPanic
@Ken: ah ok
@Scout211: California Luv
Omnes Omnibus
@SpaceUnit: He is doing okay so far.
HumboldtBlue
@Scout211:
Snoop, Dre and Tupac.
Leto
@lamh47: GA, Cali, and Minn; absolute best jams. GA gets the #1 spot because Lil’ John was there personally pumpin’ up the crowd, leading the charge. Sooooooo good!
geg6
@Leto:
Oh come on! They also have hip superstars like Lee Greenwood and Ted Nugent! The kids love them!
Ksmiami
@SpaceUnit: the sooner that fetid festering carapace of a party dies, the better
Baud
@Leto:
GA definitely won.
SatanicPanic
@HumboldtBlue: omg hahaha
that man can work a crowd, damn!
Leto
@dmsilev: luuuuuuuuuul… I wondered why he looked so familiar. :P
@Scout211: California Love – Tupac and Dr Dre
Ken
@Leto: I wasn’t watching, and in any case I’m terrible at identifying music. What was Georgia’s music—
You know, never mind, I’ll wait another fifteen minutes and there will be a wikipedia page listing all the songs.
HumboldtBlue
Schumer and Sanders, the Statler and Waldorf of the DNC.
Leto
@Ken:
Turn Down for What – Lil’ John You absolutely, ABSOLUTELY, have to watch the video. And turn that shit up!
SpaceUnit
@Ksmiami:
He’s not that bad. He just likes to hear himself talk and forgets when he needs to zip it.
SatanicPanic
@Leto: I rewound just to check it out, so good!
Wtf this convention is bonkers
David 🐝KHive🐝 Koch
@Leto: They should have played “California Gurls” by Katy Perry
TaMara
@Leto: LOL – He could have at least named it something else. I really did look to see if he was going to do a post, but I swear there wasn’t anything going when I hit post.
Love his big ole foot, especially since we got a Steve mention
KatKapCC
@David 🐝KHive🐝 Koch: NO. G-d no. Please never.
Leto
@geg6: @KatKapCC: How the hell did I forget about Turd Nugget and Lee Greenwood. I had to listen to his fucking song so many damn times for 1) the ‘91 Gulf War and 2) when I was an airmen doing public address duties for returning members during Kosovo. We played that shit on loop for way too fucking long. I hate it so much.
Leto
@David 🐝KHive🐝 Koch: Someone played “Fireworks” by her… dang it, can’t remember and I don’t want to rewind. But yeah!
David 🐝KHive🐝 Koch
@HumboldtBlue: Brooklyn isn’t sending their best vocalists
Fun fact: Schumer, Bernie, RBG, and Andrew Dice Clay all went to the same high school
Suzanne
@Leto: I actually made it through the Fourth this year without hearing Lee Greenwood. Fuck that song.
Leto
@HumboldtBlue: hahahahahaha
@SatanicPanic: when dingleberries ask: I don’t see what appeal they have to swing voters… ok, dingleberry. Just move along now…
@TaMara: would it be a DNC if he wasn’t stomping everywhere? :)
HumboldtBlue
@David 🐝KHive🐝 Koch:
Wow!
eclare
@KatKapCC:
Agreed. No Katy Perry.
Leto
Here’s each state’s ‘walk-up song’ for the DNC’s ceremonial roll call
You’re welcome :)
SatanicPanic
@David 🐝KHive🐝 Koch: how dare you
Anotherlurker
@Leto: i feel the same way about “God Bless America “. As a broadcast tech I worked 60+ Yankees games/year for 10 years. After 9/11 it was commanded by the owner to play that song in the 7th inning of every $#@%!! game. He was more patriotic than everyone else. S/
eclare
@Leto:
Thank you!
Steve in the ATL
@David 🐝KHive🐝 Koch: I would have said “September Gurls” by Big Star but I tend to be a bit behind the times
Omnes Omnibus
@Leto: AFR played that song three times an hour from August 1990 until June 1991. ::shutters::
Omnes Omnibus
@Steve in the ATL: WI should have used the Femmes. Add It Up maybe?
p.a.
@Anotherlurker: Kate (goddamned) Smith was infamous for her rendition of God Bless America during the Philadelphia Flyer’s years of dominance in the NHL, especially here in New England as the Broad St Bullies out-thugged the Big Bad Bruins in the mid/late 1970s. Her version was the Flyer’s good luck song.
Quinerly
@Leto:
Thanks. Very cool.

@Omnes Omnibus: I do rescue and dogs are abysmal judges of character. They just always want to believe in the current guy. Lucky dogs do get a good current guy but that is just luck.
Ksmiami
New Mexico Represent!
Steve in the ATL
@Omnes Omnibus: the judges would also accept “gone daddy gone”
Ksmiami
@SpaceUnit: I was talking about the GOP. It needs to die for America to live
sab
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): Various signs. Big tent is us.
Steve in the ATL
@Omnes Omnibus: and not something from In a Hot Coma? Whom I’d never heard of until last week, but am glad to have been educated
SpaceUnit
@Ksmiami:
In that case I’m with you 100%! Thought you were talking about Bernie.
He can be a nuisance but I don’t wish him dead.
Omnes Omnibus
@Steve in the ATL: There is nothing of theirs with any kind of audio quality. BoDeans?
Steve in the ATL
@Omnes Omnibus: “fadeaway” ftw
SpaceUnit
@Omnes Omnibus:
I frickin’ love the BoDeans.
Omnes Omnibus
@Steve in the ATL: Good Things.

Nobody better to talk about values than Michelle Obama. What a speech!
