good one, Michelle
I admit that I only watched snippets of the GOP convention, none of them Trump’s acceptance speech, which, I’m told, started decently enough but soon devolved into the Same Old Shit. I further admit that the last time I watched said event, many years ago, I tuned out when the cameras panned across the delegates and I was nearly blinded by the whiteness.
Conversely, I have consumed large chunks of the Democrats’ convention and can best sum up the difference thusly: the GOP’s musical headliner was Kid Rock, while the Dems had James Taylor doing the sound check.
Last night Kamala Harris trolled Aging Orange by filling the venue the GOP convened in last month. Some old friends of her, Barack and Michelle Obama, filled in nicely. Their speeches were as inspiring as any I’ve heard, and Michelle ripped off an epic zinger when she mused that maybe the presidency is one of those black jobs Trump babbles about.
All props to the Dems for the professionalism they are are putting into their confab. Their content is excellent, the pacing is nonpareil and the joy is palpable.

AP–Nonpareil is such a wonderful word-haven’t used it for ages, maybe in a PSU freshman Communications paper (circa 1965)… indicative of my later-in-life-diminishing mental acuity. What a night-many are speculating that the wholesale ketchup trucks and wall cleaning crews would be called out to Mar A Lago as DJT viewed BOTH venues at capacity and the roll call voting rocking the way it did!!! Perhaps Trump is correct in describing HIS view of the country as failing and dark: check out the GOP/Trumpism Convention…how would you feel?
Semper Fi and Peace for you always

JB: Busted. I took the word from that paper, assuming that the copyright has expired by now. I expect Kamala to really seal the deal tonight, as she and Tim continue to run circles around Aging Orange and J.D. “I-had-nothing-to-do-with-Project-2025-other-than-write-the-foreword” Vance. I do agree with Trump that his view of America is failing and dark. Semper fi and my best to the Colonel
