Good morning to everyone, like me, who kept their sanity by not watching the 3 day Democrat train wreck.

No former President has ever attacked his incumbent successor at a convention like Barack Obama tonight, or even come close.

Democrats have been praising Joe Biden for his empathy and caring. I assume that's the part of his brain they think is still working. No opinions offered on his intelligence.

5 takeaways from day 3 of the DNC: Kamala Harris makes history
Aol, Aug 20, 2020, Yahoo News

Harris makes history
On Wednesday, Sen. Kamala Harris of California accepted the Democratic party nomination for vice president, the first Indian-American and the first Black American to appear on a major party ticket. If the Biden-Harris ticket wins, she will also be positioned to someday become the United States’ first woman president. With those milestones in mind, the stakes for Harris’s speech were high. [...]

Progressive issues get airtime
Much of the first hour of Wednesday’s convention was given over to video montages addressing issues especially important to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. A series of interviews with the family members of the victims of gun violence introduced an address from former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was shot and suffered brain damage at a campaign event in Tucson in 2011. She resigned from Congress the following year, and has made few public appearances since then. “I have not lost my voice. America needs all of us to speak out, even when you have to fight to find the words,” Giffords said in the longest speech she has delivered since the shooting.

A video about the important role that immigrants have played in shaping the United States intercut interviews with a speech by former President Barack Obama making the point that Trump’s immigration crackdown is bad for the country. Another segment, on climate change, featured activists, farmers and scientists who said that Trump has turned his back on an impending environmental catastrophe. [...]

Warren has a plan to help Biden win
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of Biden’s chief rivals during the Democratic primary and a finalist in his search for a running mate, delivered a powerful speech advancing her populist economic agenda. She predicted that Biden and Harris would prioritize funding for childcare, to level the playing field for American workers.

“We build infrastructure like roads and bridges and communications systems so that people can work. That infrastructure helps us all, because it keeps our economy going. It’s time to recognize that childcare is part of the basic infrastructure of this nation. It’s infrastructure for families. Joe and Kamala will make high quality childcare affordable for every family, make preschool universal and raise the wages of every childcare worker.” [...]

Clinton has an ‘I told you so’ moment
During the 2016 presidential campaign, the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, repeatedly warned that electing Donald Trump posed a risk to the safety and security of the nation. On Thursday, Clinton returned to the spotlight with a message that, at times, seemed to say, “I told you so.”

“I wish Donald Trump knew how to be a president,” Clinton said in a live speech from her home in Westchester County, N.Y. “Because America needs a president right now.” [...]

Obama unloads on Trump
Obama has largely adhered to the tradition that outgoing presidents avoid directly criticizing their successors, but he discarded that self-imposed restraint on Wednesday. In a speech that pulled no punches, Obama went after Trump in a way that Americans had not yet heard.

“I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men running for president,” Obama said from the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia. “I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies. I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care. But he never did. He’s shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.” [...]

Keep in mind, the authors of this tripe present all this as GOOD news.

I wonder if Sparky deliberately went for the orange look last night .... or if God has a wicked sense of humor.

Okay, she did put down the vodka bottle ... and gets extra credit for this.

But can't help wishing she had washed her hair -- just a a totally objective observation. Honest.
