The police have been tracing the cell phones for at least the last week, as people have been getting ready for the convention, and many of the cell phones are European, so most of the protestors are from outside of this country. Someone has to be paying for hotel accommodations for all of these thousands of protestors, they are co-ordinated, and stationed in different places around Chicago, so it is not just local protestors doing this.
Probably the WEF is footing the bill, but it is counterproductive since they are anti-Trump. They should be yelling the praises of Harris-Walz.
Oh now, now. Must not say, "riot". That is definitely a mostly-peaceful gathering and they will figure out how to blame Trump for it.
Demonstrators were chanting "Killer Kamala and Genocide Joe" over and over. Fetterman and Josh Shapiro are boycotting the DNC over antisemitism concerns. YouTube has notified their creators through back channels that anything said negative about Kamala would be sanctioned.
Saw a couple of excerpts of Biden on the Gutfeld show (YouTube) this morning and it appeared that Joe was jacked to the max. It was suggested that perhaps Hunter gave Joe some of his “meds” but whatever he was on, man, it must have been some really good stuff ! It’s 0800 on Tuesday morning here and I’m almost willing to bet that he’s STILL wired. As an aside, the way Joe kept tying in Kamala as the “tie breaking vote” on some issues, I think Biden may vote for Trump or not vote at all.
Biden was definitely wired up last night. His speech was postponed until after 11PM, so we did not stay up for it, but I have been watching some of the video clips from last night on X. Biden said that women have no “electrical power”, and then fumbled and stumbled for a while and finally got the word “electoral” out mostly properly. He also specifically said that they were going to “strengthen illegal immigration”, and he definitely said the illegal part, you can hear him plainly on this. People who are living in area where there are a lot of the illegals and Hispanic gang members (@Lulu Moppet might know more about this ?) have been having trouble with the criminal element of the illegals. Even Maye Musk, Elon’s mother, said in X that she has had friends who were attacked by illegals in New York where she lives, and you would think that the very rich people would be safe from attacks of this kind.
He was scheduled late in the evening for that specific purpose. The DNC knew they wanted as few eyes on him as possible...he ain't ready for Prime Time. I wish I could talk to him. "Sir, you can't let that idiot take over. Your country needs you. If you're not on the ticket, a large number of Democrats are gonna vote Trump. You must fight."
RFK Jr said to weigh dropping US presidential bid to join up with Trump Independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering ending his campaign to join forces with Republican rival Donald Trump, Kennedy's running mate said in an interview posted online on Tuesday. The vice presidential candidate, Nicole Shanahan, said that as independents she and Kennedy ran the risk of drawing support from would-be Trump voters and clearing the way for Democrats Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to win the November election. "Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump," she told Los Angeles media company Impact Theory. Asked when they would make a decision, she did not say. In a separate statement on X on Tuesday, Kennedy wrote: "As always, I am willing to talk with leaders of any political party to further the goals I have served for 40 years in my career and in this campaign." Kennedy, 70, faces an uphill battle qualifying for the presidential ballot in many states, but he could siphon enough votes away in the tight race between Harris and Trump to have an outsized impact. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/rf...esidential-bid-join-up-with-trump-2024-08-20/ Not sure this weird story goes here but Kennedy is a Democrat even though he's running as an Independent. But if someone wants to move it that won't matter to me.
He didn't leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left him. And it opened up some seats around his Thanksgiving table.
True. The Democrats have left a lot of people and gathered some weird replacements like those pro-Hamas protesters out in the street that Sleepy Joe said 'have a point.' Still, I don't see Kennedy's supporters voting for Trump unless they do it out of spite. Millions of Americans have no acceptable viable candidate this year.
I heard that some protesters breached the walls and got inside this afternoon. Twitter video And a 3rd layer of fencing added to repress dissenting voices by those who are Saving Democracy. Twitter video
Raymond Lopez, a Chicago City Council member, is lamenting the fact that the Democrat Party is not laying out a plan for how they're gonna control the border.
