Welcome to The Now

 While it's still part of the distraction from Epstein, it's important to remind people that RussiaGate was not real:

 

 Hint: it can't.

 

  And remember: all this "diversity" yet not one Palestinian took the stage. 

 

 

 As seen in these videos, pretty much every group/demographic (including even Republicans, who are supposed to be the Democrat's enemy) got to speak:

 By all accounts, it's one of his best. If you are a die-hard Democrat, you should be proud. We know the GOP hates Obama, so their take is a given. As far as everyone else (non-Democrats and non-Republicans), Obama's speech is more of the same. Let's look it over : Chicago—it’s good to be home. It is good to be home. And I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling fired up. I am feeling ready to go even if I am the only person stupid enough to speak after Michelle Obama.  I am feeling hopeful because this convention has always been pretty good to kids with funny names who believe in a country where anything is possible; because we have a chance to elect someone who has spent her entire life trying to give people the same chances America gave her, someone who sees you and hears you and will get up every single day and fight for you, the next President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris.  This is actually a good opening. He acknowledges his wife's popularity and l...

 

 

 

Why even bother with primaries if  so many  (from this sample) just want the party leadership (most who aren't elected themselves) to pick the nominee? There's still time for the people to make a decision, but no, they prefer that the choice be made in the shadows without so much as a debate. (Note: this is a "national sample of 1,071 registered voters" and about 33% of registered voters -a little over 53 million- are Democrats). 

The guys are right: by the Democrat's own (manipulated) rules, Biden is supposed to be the nominee. It's not the voter's fault the DNC decided not to have official primaries or take a serious look into Biden's physical and mental condition. Nevertheless, we must remember that the party told a court of law that they can choose their nominee through any means they see fit (I believe they invoked the proverbial "smoke-filled backroom" in their argument).

Current US President Joe Biden has said in interviews that one way he'd consider not running for re-election (despite the obvious decline mentally and physically) was is their was a health concern. Well, now we learn that Biden has COVID . The very illness/issue that helped usher him into the White House (mainly because of Trump's poor handling) can help Biden make a more graceful exit (if he so chooses). Who would have guess that a virus that neither president (or either political party, for that matter) handled well would still be a factor?   Of course, they'll be speculation that it's not COVID but rather allergies or the flu, but if it give Democrats a chance to re-energize their party ahead of the convention, I'm sure they'll take what they can get. 

 Will this happen? We'll see: I can only imagine how the Republicans would react to this rather cowardly move. Also, what's the odds that there will be glitches and technical issues the whole time?

 Props to Hard Lens Media for noticing this oversight (and with Cenk it could either be on purpose or because for him it was more important to make his point):
