It wasn’t MTG but whoever said fentanyl deaths are Biden’s fault is getting the double middle fingers from me.

Lol at Biden goading the Republicans into standing for protecting Medicare/SS. I loved this whole bit and was cackling at the way Biden backed them in to a corner over it. 😆

I think my antenna connection is quite a bit ahead of how you are all watching. LOL though at those calling for a point of order in this. Cruella is very much struggling to keep her personal opinions inside her head. It’s so fucking dumb. What does it get her? I’m home wondering if she actually cannot control herself because she’s never had to.

I missed why Bono is there. He was a big proponent of PEPFAR which was signed 20 years ago and is expiring. It was bipartisan and made a big difference in the fight against AIDS/HIV so I think they were aiming for “we can do big things.”

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus will be wearing black pins with the number “1870” on them, which marks the year of the first known police killing of an unarmed and free Black person that occurred in the U.S.

The pins are a call for action on reforming the institution of policing that has killed thousands of Black people in the 153 years since.

In case anyone was wondering, Marty Walsh is the designated survivor, AND is leaving the Cabinet to join the NHLPA It’s almost like the start of Designated Survivor only Kiefer was going to get fired

I’ve said it before but the glad-handing afterwards is really his element. (I do think he did a good job during the speech though.)

That isn’t even the awful recap I got on NBC. I don’t recall exactly, but it wasn’t that 2nd half at all.

I think I’m going to have to catch the recap from here tomorrow. Don’t think I want to listen to the forthcoming drivel.

This is a disgusting speech by Huckabee Sanders. I know they don’t know shame but they should.

I'm also working and have to get into work a bit early tomorrow. I drive a major route to the capital and I'm hoping everyone will be sleeping in tomorrow I don't have work but I'm making lunches and prepping ingredients for slow cooker dinner tomorrow while trying to figure out how to do a dirt cake for my youngest's 5th birthday tomorrow. I'm in mood though, so I'm hoping I make it through the speech. I'll probably switch to something mindless before the responses. I definitely don't have the patience for that bullshit tonight. Happy birthday to the littlest gymngemini!!!

This thread is worth the click through to read. Were the cameras also broadcasting? I feel like this footage is as powerful (more?) than the speech itself.
