    But of course. Priorities matter.

    Nonetheless, you were a small segment. Plus, we all know L*ker fans don't watch their team on TV. Do they?? At any rate, the Blazers game most like didn't put a dent in the already paltry national viewing statistics.

    You may actually be a good life coach after all. Those guys are worthless.

    Think of this election as blowing up the team and preparing for the 2024 draft...it's boring but necessary to avoid the worst case scenario

    How did Donna Hylton get a speaking slot at the convention? She served hard time for raping, torturing, and murdering a man and was not at all sorry about it. A true psychopath.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Hylton

    Donna Hylton (born October 29, 1964) is a Jamaican-American[3] convicted of murder in the second degree and two counts of kidnapping in the first degree[1] for her role in the kidnapping, rape[4], torture and murder of New York businessman Thomas Vigliarolo in 1985.[5] Sentenced to 25 years to life, Hylton was paroled in 2012 after serving more than 26 years.[3] She is the author of the memoir A Little Piece of Light[6]and is a criminal justice reform activist.[7]

    What were the Democrats thinking?!?!

    https://blog.simplejustice.us/2017/01/28/the-donna-hylton-dilemma/

    Vigliarole [the victim] believed the three girls were prostitutes who were going to have sexwith him. Instead, they picked him up on March 8 in Elmhurst, Queens, at Maria’s home, and drugged him to make him drowsy. Then they drove him to Selma’s apartment in Harlem. The apartment had already been prepared for an extended torture session: The closet door had been cut, a pot put in it for use as a toilet, the windows boarded.

    For the next 15 to 20 days (police aren’t sure just when Vigliarole died), the man was starved, burned, beaten, and tortured. (Even 10 years later, Spurling could recall Rita’s chilling response when they questioned her about shoving a three-foot metal bar up Vigliarole’s rear: “He was a homo anyway.” How did she know? “When I stuck the bar up his rectum he wiggled.”)

    The three girls took turns watching the man. It was Donna who delivered a ransom note and tape to a friend of Vigliarole’s, who was able to get a partial license plate number of the car she was driving. He notified the police, who traced the plate to a rental car facility. On April 6 the suspects were arrested, and detectives spent 36 hours straight interviewing the seven men and women. “We had to keep going back and forth and catch them in lies,” said Spurling. “It was a never-ending circle of lies.”

    Spurling himself interviewed Donna: “I couldn’t believe this girl who was so intelligent and nice-looking could be so unemotional about what she was telling me she and her friends had done. They’d squeezed the victim’s testicles with a pair of pliers, beat him, burned him

    Can’t imagine anyone needs to watch anything to influence their decision. Who the hell could possibly be on the fence at this point? Either you’ve been paying attention or you haven’t. You either think trump is the man to do the job or you know he’s a dumbfuck buffoon who knows his voters are morons and haven’t caught on that he laughs at their stupidity. No convention is going to sway anyone.

    I'm more excited to watch the RNC because I'm the type who slows down for car accidents.

    And I think for that fact alone the RNC will have higher ratings.

    Also who doesn't love Chachi!

    If there is no enthusiasm, one may not choose to vote.

    It might sway them away. Having awesome guests like the Clintons on the same day photos get leaked of Bill getting a massage from an Epstein victim. Lol, solid PR move.

    Oh and don’t forget about the rapist/murderer mentioned above. You can’t make this shit up.

    I’ll take the crazy my pillow guy over this cast of comic book villains any day.

    I'm a Democrat, I vote every time, and I haven't wasted my time watching a convention for 30 years

    I have other ways to waste my time

    (and yeah yeah El Pres, I know....I'm wasting my time by voting)
