It was slow to fill because of the necessity of careful individual security checking for obvious reasons, causing long lineups of persons qualified to enter.

Given Democrats desire to attack other democrats in the name of Hamas, its certainly understandable the United Center uses security precautions like walls, police and i.d.s to protect the elite democrats inside. You know, the methods of security they want to deny the rest of us plebs.
It's a non-story. It was reported earlier this morning that several buses were held up due to the protesting around the convention center and got there late. Also first night, but I would fully expect the remaining days the bus companies and authorities will do a better job of getting the buses there on time.
AOC: "We know Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own pockets & greasing palms of his Wall St friends. And I for one am tired of hearing about how a 2 bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day"
Them too! My Cousin Al divorced Tipper, BTW. He is Mom's cousin but he showed his registered Angus against Daddy's every year at the Louisville Livestock Show. The Gores are cattlemen. Daddy was always impressed Al groomed his own show stock at shows. We were sorely disappointed in 2000. My Mom and I were in NYC...
I was a little worried the Democrats might go to far into the joy and hope side of it and not go straight at Trump. That has not happened, they have been incinerating him all night.
That Rick Wilson is a real 'gem.' I read his book, "Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever" —that dude, he can tear bark from trees with his 'spoken word.'
I actually doubt that Alex Jones even knows this. I mean, he’s Alex Jones - an uninformed reactionary QAnon follower. Expect nothing less from this moron.
Always N Joy the wisdom provided by Ron Filipowski, or how I always pronounced it , Ron Flipit Ouch Skii, as he is usually on target, and when the subject is trump, there might possibly be the side of a very large barn, with all of the doors left open, to shut out the possibility of not hitting them, or the bong I'm smoking till choking up on the bat i may feel obligated to swing for the offences width
Ah yes. The imaginary ‘MAGAs.’ Do you even know what that is? Have you ever seen one before, or are you just in the habit of insulting those who dare think different that you, et al?
The fact that Jan. 6th happened, and we all saw it with our own eyes, and still Donald Trump wasn’t shunned from society forever… it will never not be insane to me
Good nickname. Linking her to a power crazed psychopathic, elitist autocrat who murdered tens of thousands of plebeians before having to be murdered in order to save civilization.
imagine thinking so little of your audience as senator Murphy must in order to say “Harris has been tough as nails on the border for 20 years” with a straight face. He must really believe his audience is compromised of mindless goldfish who don’t remember yesterday.
Donald Trump has a new book coming out which he is selling for 99 dollars. It is purportedly about his four years in office and what he hopes for Americas future.
With him running for president and all you might think he would give the voters this information for free.
This is the cover image for the book
The book , btw , is priced at twice what similar books go for.
To be clear, there was a teleprompter set up on the stage in front of Walz. (I saw it when the family came on stage at the end of the speech.) And, the media anchors are talking about Walz's 'first-time' (teleprompter virginity gone now). That said, Walz did appear to be speaking 'naturally' - in which case it is a gift. Probably so more a natural at teleprompter use than Obama.
Donald stares so hard at this teleprompter when he reads it that you can't help but understand that man is reading.
I just spent a few hours watching the DNC which was being broadcast live on CTV (Canada Television News). I thought Bill Clinton would put me to sleep, took particular note that Oprah was wearing purple, and she woke me up again. I believe Pete went over well, the evening could have done without Walz's next door neighbour and the football team, but then Walz himself set fire to the campaign - now I think that Trump/Vance are dead in the water and I don't feel the least bit sorry for the Republicans who have been backing them.
I think something happened to Bill's notes or his teleprompter screen. . . he was fidgeting with his words and his papers and for a long-time professional speaker he appeared to be in some 'distress' for what he wanted to say. Though he 'recovered' successfully, nevertheless.
That Arena Is On Fire!
the comparisons being done between the 2 conventions are fucking hilarious.
A little earlier MAGA twitter trolls were saying the arena was half empty. Uh,no.
It was slow to fill because of the necessity of careful individual security checking for obvious reasons, causing long lineups of persons qualified to enter.

What happened to “build bridges, not walls”?
I think is more like the delegates were out enjoying themselves and decided to skip some of the preliminary speakers.
That's not a positive opinion about those you covet.
Don't really know what you are talking about.
Can't help that, JR. At least MonsterMash did.

The only thing that is concerning me is that it is running late. By the time Biden comes on it will be kind of late on the east coast.
They can give Joe something to keep him awake.
My Girl Is Shining Brilliantly!
Her speech is the best so far and will be hard to top.
She might have shown up Joe?
AOC is a great barnburner speaker.
She makes Trump look like he is in a coma.
AOC is on fire !
AOC: "We know Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own pockets & greasing palms of his Wall St friends. And I for one am tired of hearing about how a 2 bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day"
I missed AOC but just saw Joe give the best speech I've ever seen him give.
Remember When MAGA Said Hillary Was Dying?
she looks like she aced her cognitive test
How can anybody not love and admire Billy, Hillary, Barack, Michelle, Jill or Joe Biden?
Why did you leave out Doug and Kamala and Al and Tipper?
Them too! My Cousin Al divorced Tipper, BTW. He is Mom's cousin but he showed his registered Angus against Daddy's every year at the Louisville Livestock Show. The Gores are cattlemen. Daddy was always impressed Al groomed his own show stock at shows. We were sorely disappointed in 2000. My Mom and I were in NYC...
the Democratic convention is kicking ass
"KEEP GOING!"
Hilary Clinton delivered an America First speech.
Reagans, Bushes, McCains, Romneys and Cheneys will not be voting MAGA. The gop ran off and left them, or kicked them out. MAGA!
Clyburn!
I would expect Trump is fuming.
I was a little worried the Democrats might go to far into the joy and hope side of it and not go straight at Trump. That has not happened, they have been incinerating him all night.
I have noticed.
And all they had to do was simply make true statements.
And they are driving the abortion point home quite well. This should be a key factor for the Ds.
As Trump might say, "no one's ever seen anything like this before."
Can you imagine if they had stuck with Biden like you recommended?
That Rick Wilson is a real 'gem.' I read his book, "Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever" —that dude, he can tear bark from trees with his 'spoken word.'
Ashley Biden just introduced her Dad, The President of the United States of America, and the crowd is going wild with love for him!
Now, pay attention for a lesson in grace, honor and greatness...
Mmmmkay.....
There You Go!
Wait a minute, I thought we didn't build anything?..... color me confused
And he shouldn't have...
Biden gave an excellent speech.
A forceful well delivered speech in a strong voice late at night...
I am grateful he left on a high note an not a tear-jerker! Way to pass the torch, Joe. I love the screen 'pop-ups': "Thank you, Joe!"
Harris / Walz has been nominated with zero opposition tonight!
Bernie Sanders is up!
Because any supposed opposition was told to stand down and don’t even try. Nobody wants to get Hillaried.
Do you have a copy of this edict on DNC letterhead stationary?
We don’t need no stinkin stationary when Hillary still walks the earth.
They knew better.
This is the same stadium in Milwaukee where Trump had his convention.
Tonight it is filled to the rafters by Kamala Harris.
This is hilarious
California passed in the alphabetical order so they could go last, which is the traditional position of the home state of the nominee.
Jones cant be this stupid, can he?
But he thinks his fans are.
Sensational bullshit. He cannot help himself.
I actually doubt that Alex Jones even knows this. I mean, he’s Alex Jones - an uninformed reactionary QAnon follower. Expect nothing less from this moron.
Michelle is Burnin it up!
She could have been president this time if she wanted to.
Great public speaker.

Why do the Obamas always need to bring race into everything?
You misspelled grace.
Because MAGA would rather step on their tongues than racebait?
Uh no. I know how to spell just fine. My point was made……..correctly
Ah yes. The imaginary ‘MAGAs.’
Do you even know what that is? Have you ever seen one before, or are you just in the habit of insulting those who dare think different that you, et al?
"Do not Boo.... Vote!"
Barak Obama
Barack is doing that thing he does so well. (And he looks like he moisturizes!)
What a speaking voice (Barack has)! The people rise and fall with his words. (You can hear a pin drop in there.)
Yeah. It is great watching and listening to an orator of his quality.
Totally beside the point, but that is one nice suit that he has on.
I noticed that (suit and tie) too!
This is weird considering TONIGHT is Wednesday...............
Democrats have border solutions. MAGA do not. Vote Democratic!
Wednesday Night Live's Keenan Thompson is up now!
Funny guy, that Keenan Thompson. I could have gone farther with him with the appearance and jokes!
The DNC is a love fest and fun fest. The RNC was MAGA's funeral!
That nasty beast died a few weeks ago and is 🦨 to high heaven...
The fun part is a black woman decisively whooping Trump's fat lying ass once and for all in front of everyone for the world to see!
Kamala is no clown. She is telling the biggest one, "You're Fired!"
Ya gotta love it when useless MAGA fools be useful MAGA foolin it...
Be Yee Cool Not MAGA Fool!
a good one
Rest assured MAGA's ultimate comeuppance is coming November 5th!
Turnout 11-5 will be monumentally proportionate to America's outrage.
President Bill Clinton - "Who are we going to be ot? Kamala Harris for the people of for that other guy who is only for me myself and I?"
he's doing a good job tonight
Now we have, "Mother Of Dragons", Nancy Pelosi!
"Let us not forget who attacked Congress that day"
He Did!
"Let us not forget who defended Democracy that day"
We Did!
"So The Land of the Free should not perish that day"
“Mother of dragons”
Good nickname. Linking her to a power crazed psychopathic, elitist autocrat who murdered tens of thousands of plebeians before having to be murdered in order to save civilization.
Does Nancy burn you? Dragonfire is potent political power...
When Democrats are most sincere the MAGA Hats will disappear...
MAGA don't know what's hitting them. Repeatedly Uppasidadahead!
imagine thinking so little of your audience as senator Murphy must in order to say “Harris has been tough as nails on the border for 20 years” with a straight face. He must really believe his audience is compromised of mindless goldfish who don’t remember yesterday.
Did you miss it? Abortion and immigration are no longer trump cards.
As Democrats are going all in the loser MAGA crowd craps out again!
Democrats are playing a Royal Strait Flush. MAGA'S got two deuces...

Capitalism baby.
I do not know, but I think Oprah won gold at the Summer Ozympics...
I see what you did there! Uh-huh!
He better pay the agents in the photo for using their likeness (or do Secret Service Agents not get paid for their added 'services')?
If it looks MAGA and it sounds MAGA and it is full of shit as MAGA?
I can't say MAGA is MAGA because MAGA is a slur to MAGA MAGA!
WTF? GTFOOH! NGAFAYBS! GSITAT. YCSTSAH. NIBI. MAGA MAGA!
Thanks and thanks in advance for giving us a thumbs up, up ^top^!
Let's Get Crazy!
palestinian delegates to the dnc are staging a sit in outside the convention hall after they were denied a chance to speak to the convention
Tim Walz does not use a teleprompter and never has
I never had any teacher before college who used lecture notes...
Most teachers have done the lesson plans etc. for years. They know the subject and they teach it.
To be clear, there was a teleprompter set up on the stage in front of Walz. (I saw it when the family came on stage at the end of the speech.) And, the media anchors are talking about Walz's 'first-time' (teleprompter virginity gone now). That said, Walz did appear to be speaking 'naturally' - in which case it is a gift.

Give Bill a break... He was using paper notes
I think something happened to Bill's notes or his teleprompter screen. . . he was fidgeting with his words and his papers and for a long-time professional speaker he appeared to be in some 'distress' for what he wanted to say. Though he 'recovered' successfully, nevertheless.
He passed the torch. It wasn't what I had hoped, but he is getting older too.
Yes, he looked it.
Ah! Age is catching up with many of the collective, 'us.' Yet, there is no other alternative, right?
MAGA want to give their views on MSNBC. Are the MAGAs censored?
Can I go on Fox News to rebut everything Sean Hannity has ever said?
Of course not. That is not how freedom of speech works in America...
