Bubba ain't look so good. What's the deal? He kept standing in the crowd with his mouth hanging open like he was catching flies throughout the whole convention. The next time I see him I might confuse him with Robert Byrd.
If you're also talking about Bill Clinton what the guy needs is a greasy cheeseburger and a greasier blowjob. I'd almost feel sorry for him if he wasn't a notorious serial rapist.

Alleged serial rapist, thank you very much (but yeah, that guy's a fucking rapist).

Pretty sick that they had to pay people to fill seats for hillarys coronation while detaining and blocking Bernie's people from entering the building.
If they let them in they would have booed her off the stage.
Paying people to fill seats. Does anybody actually think this election wasn't stolen from Sanders?

Hey! Back to the topic. Thanx MP.
Everyone thinks/knows this election was stolen from Sanders. And so do I. I am one of the pissed off disenfranchised who will never forget the day I was forced to pull a lever named "Hillary Clinton". (<--- For BC and the other hopelessly dimwitted, I'm talking about the election day that is still to come. I have not, as of yet, pulled a lever named "Hillary Clinton". I hope this helps. You may now return to your previously programmed flickering lightbulb)
This election sucks my ass, inside and out. Between the '08 financial meltdown and now this I have come to ponder that those who live off the grid in Montana or Louisiana just might have been right all along.
But back to your question, absolutely Sanders got robbed, many people aren't forgetting, this election sucks.

It was a full out circus. The Democratic Party is broken now after what they did. As much unity as oil and vinegar. Only 2 ways to win it all. Rig it outright or the other I won't say but it's pretty obvious.
If they're gonna do that they'll do it before the 1st debate, if she even debates him.
They are getting very desperate. Not just the Clintons and the corrupt party but also some very powerful people who have a lot of money to make if she gets elected. And then there is the whole israel thing too.
For example her VP pick Tim Kaine just voted for another 320 million for israel this week. That stuff will probably come to an end if they don't lose Trump one way or another.
I think this woman is obsessed with becoming PREZ. I think there is nothing she won't resort to.
Given the things she's done I know there isn't.

No, it's not. A compromise platform went a long way towards ensuring it wouldn't be.

Most veterans do not file a copy with the county clerk. It is also advisable to file leases with the clerk's office but few do it.
Most people simply get a duplicate when they misplace theirs.

The Democrats' Republican Moment
http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/29/politics/democratic-convention-gop-moment-national-security/
Over four flag-waving days in Philadelphia, Democrats stole the Republicans' mojo.
That's how many conservatives felt, at least, watching their opponent's pageant this week in Philadelphia. And it may be enough to sway some of them to cross the aisle on Election Day.
"How can it be that I am standing at my kitchen counter sobbing because of the messages being driven at the DNC?" Republican strategist Rich Galen asked on Twitter. "Where has the GOP gone?"
As Democratic delegates chanted "USA! USA!" and military leaders celebrated America's power, speaker after speaker at the Democratic National Convention struck themes that have long been hallmarks of Republican rhetoric: tributes to service, sacrifice, American leadership and, above all, a repeated reaffirmation of American exceptionalism.
"We have the most powerful military. The most innovative entrepreneurs. The most enduring values -- freedom and equality, justice and opportunity," Hillary Clinton said as she accepted her party's nomination on Thursday night, "We should be so proud that these words are associated with us. That when people hear them, they hear America."
Throughout the convention, Democratic speakers struck optimistic notes, emphasized patriotism and a muscular American presence in the world, messages that happen to have strong appeal for disaffected Republicans and independents.
And the performance drew praise from many Republicans who object to GOP nominee Donald Trump -- particularly those who concentrate on foreign policy and national security, many of whom have been harshly critical of Trump's positions on Russia, NATO, Asia and nuclear weapons, among other issues.
"The Democratic convention was a convention of patriotism this year," wrote Erick Erickson, a conservative radio host and blogger. "Democrats were for you. If you want to be free, the GOP was doom and gloom."
The praise echoed many of the reactions that followed President Barack Obama's speech Wednesday night, when conservatives took to Twitter to praise its optimism and bemoan the fact that a Republican wasn't making it.
John Podhoretz, a former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, tweeted that Obama's address "could have been a Reagan speech. Trust me. I know."
However, Trump and those Republicans who support him found plenty to criticize in Clinton's take on national security. Her record as secretary of state -- particularly her role in the US intervention in Libya, the Benghazi terror attacks, her role in the Iran nuclear deal and her overtures to China -- were central lines of attack throughout the GOP's own convention last week, including in speeches by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
And immediately after Clinton's speech Thursday, the Republican nominee slammed her for not using the term Islamic terrorism. In an apparent attempt to reclaim the national security narrative, Trump tweeted that the Democrat's "refusal to mention Radical Islam" was yet "more proof that she is unfit to lead the country."
He also criticized the Democratic convention as a whole for not addressing terrorism during the opening nights of the convention, noting that the word "ISIS" wasn't mentioned on the first day.

Yet on Wednesday and Thursday, the issue of fighting terrorism and American leadership in the world became increasingly more prominent themes.
In part, the convention's tone reflected Clinton, who throughout her career has emphasized the unique role the US plays globally and taken a more hawkish stance on national security issues than many in her party.
And to some degree, it also reflected the ways in which Obama -- though harshly criticized by those on the right for what they see as weakness in much of his foreign policy -- has chosen to use force.
Obama has aggressively expanded his Republican predecessor's use of drone warfare and backed controversial surveillance measures against America's enemies. Most memorably, his directing the daring raid that killed Osama bin Laden in one bullet buried the decades-old perception that a Democrat wasn't tough enough to deal with a threatening world.
The themes of military strength and patriotism permeated the convention, but were most obvious when Gen. John Allen took the stage. In a speech punctuated by chants of "USA! USA!," the former commander of US forces in Afghanistan stressed American military power and issued a battle cry against ISIS, declaring that the terror group will be beaten and the homeland will be protected.
Noah Rothman, a conservative writer at Commentary magazine, tweeted that "for Bush-era GOPers, a convention of Dems cheering 'USA' as military brass pledge to defeat 'evil' is disorienting."
Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele tweeted that he was "enjoying this Republican Convention with a 4 Star General commanding the stage and chants of "USA, USA."
The reaction, though, also reflected the split that exists within the Democratic Party over the military and use of force.
The chants of "USA" during Allen's speech started in order to drown out the anti-war calls of convention-goers unhappy with the welcome accorded to Pentagon brass. The night before, supporters of Clinton primary opponent Bernie Sanders, many of whom still haven't fully reconciled themselves to Clinton winning the nomination, interrupted former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Leon Panetta with cries of "no more war!"
While Clinton might hope to draw in moderates and even some Republicans with her strong-America rhetoric, she could also further turn off the progressive wing of the party that has long seen her as too close to the center.
Still, whatever the risks to shoring up her support with the Democratic base, Clinton did not shy away from striking pro-military appeals during her nomination acceptance speech.
Clinton laid out her strategy for defeating ISIS, emphasized the US commitment to protecting European allies from a bullying Russia and called for standing up to China. Noting that Trump had described the US military as "a disaster," Clinton lauded them as a "national treasure."
The military's service and sacrifice -- as well as the Constitution, a Republican touchstone -- were movingly evoked Thursday night when the father of a fallen Muslim serviceman spoke of his son. Holding up his pocket-sized copy of the country's founding document, Khizr Khan addressed Trump directly, telling him to look through the Constitution for the word "liberty."
"You have sacrificed nothing. And no one," Khan said.
Throughout the convention, Clinton and other speakers offered a direct rebuttal to her Republican rival's insistence on American decline by emphasizing the positive force Americans can be at home and abroad.
The Democratic convention was "about loving America," said prominent conservative writer Jonah Goldberg, "the Republican convention was about loving Trump. If you didn't love Trump, it offered nothing."

So you don't consider almost all the speakers getting booed the whole time a problem?
You don't consider most all Sanders people who were doing nothing disruptive or illegal being detained and blocked from entering after day 3 because they were showing the world that the people don't want hc?
That left the place at least half empty and they had paid people 50 dollars to fill some of those seats and clap like trained seals?
They also blasted the music there to drown out the sound of the people. They also shut off the lights on sections who were shouting no more war and the like.
If she treats free speech like that now imagine if she becomes PREZ?
And if the annointed princess can't even come close to filling the venue on the day of her coronation how did she possibly win the nomination without massive fraud?
How will she win over DT without the same?
Election fraud here is not theory, it's been proven all the way by many credible sources.
In an honest election Sanders would have won by a landslide.
Are you for rigged elections?
So half or more of the people there either were blocked from entering or just didn't go and they are using "Unity" as a catch phrase?
As far as Dems hating israel I have never heard that.
I openly admit that I have nothing against the people of israel but I have strong feelings against it's GOV and it's influence on US politicians.
Just look at timeline maps of how their "borders" have grown over the years.
Also consider that they do not allow arms inspections especially with their Nukes. There is a UN law that no country can give money to another who violates this agreement.But the US can't stop giving them more of our money everyday.
Yet they use that same reason to invade other countries and call for war with Iran all the time.
I'll stop there but HC is a slave to the israel GOV. A state who's leaders are constantly demanding war with Iran.
I mention all this because among so many things I consider that the biggest danger of giving this "human"? the keys to our nukes.

I tell you what, I was fat last year, but after a year of serious calorie and sugar restriction I weigh less now than I did when I was in 7th grade. On a side note, I didn't watch either convention this year, I'm fairly certain I didn't miss much.

I watched about an hour or so of each through clips.
What you missed X was , and I am saying this unbiasedly, was a RNC that went very smoothly and very positively and a DNC that was the complete opposite.
Even the bought and paid for media couldn't hide that.
The democratis party, actually both parties now are trying to figure out a way to put HC in the White House without causing The People to rise up and protest or worse.
They are trying to figure out a way to do this without putting the final nail in the coffin of peoples faith in the GOV.
Without having to announce that the US GOV has become a fascist dictatorship literally.
I'm sure they have many plans they are considering.

I haven't responded nearly as unhinged as he has.
You are and always have been a partisan weasel around here and are always looking to incite arguments. Your act is well documented.
DVDs? Not that I'm a videophile snob (because I am), DVDs? Blu-Ray movies have been out for over a decade and 4K movies are here.
It's like that commercial on History Channel for WWII in Color in "stunning DVD quality" I know WWII wasn't filmed in HD of course so it really doesn't matter either way. But still.
I'm looking at Bradley Cooper's filmography and the majority of it was well into the Blu-Ray era.
Right, the DNC convention. I admit, it was a huge hit:
If I catch heat for this, so be it. That Hillary Rodham Clinton was looking damn good in that clip. She didn't want to stay at home and bake cookies, but I'd eat that cookie. Whatever that means. And got damn, was that Janet Reno? She could've played power forward for the Boston Celtics and led the league in rebounding.
