    To mix a sports metaphor, Steve Kerr hit it out of the park.

    All the speakers pretty good. Sean Fain, AOC, Hillary.

    Jamie Raskin: the president is supposed to faithfully execute the laws, not execute the vice president.

    my Pops was a Urologist. He'd have vasectomy days once a month where he'd preform around 20 a day... very simple surgery from his end. He'd joke that they paid for my college

    Kerr's former University of Arizona teammate Tom Tolbert is the guy of local Bay Area sports talk. On his show today when told his buddy and regular guest Kerr would speak at the DNC he recalled a college Halloween where Steve's costume was an empty cardboard 12 pack with eye holes

    Apropos of nothing, this video was recommended to me by Youtube while I was watching Biden's DNC speech:

    PBS decided to run their own talking heads and not the young woman from Kentucky who described being raped and pregnant at age 12. She was able to get an abortion and live her life but wanted now other girls still women can't.
    Not a story PBS wanted to carry.

    They are saying a man and woman can't have friendship and admiration for one another without fucking?

    Comment reflects more on that self appointed idiot than in Harris or Beau Biden.

    The white male MAGA culture is based on the insecurities of these white dudes and a couple of Karens thinking any woman of mixed parentage or dark skin must be lusting for sexual attentions of their Aryan male supremacy fantasies. To them all women of color must have slept their way to the top...they did this with AOC as well and now Kamala. I'm so fucking sick of these embarrassing assholes pretending to represent American freedoms. They are the ugly Americans. We need to weed them from the fabric of democracy forever.

    Do you guys really care about these conventions? Do you listen to these politicians talk and think they give one iota about you, me, or anyone that doesn't bring them their ultimate desire of power and money? I know I'm cynical and all that but listening to last night's speeches and I just roll my eyes as both parties do the same fear mongering garbage about the other. My wife was getting annoyed with me because I'm not into the convention and I tried to explain about how I get enough of us vs. them in sports, politics isn't the space for that but it's what it has become and I'm quite frankly tired and bored of it all, especially at the national level.

    Do away with the two party monopolies. The committee’s have to much control.

    It's a PBS episode of American Experience called "The Gilded Age".

    I do actually enjoy them. I’ll always enjoy people getting together to talk shit about Trump. It’s just never gets old.

    I also like compare and contrasting the distinguished differences between the two parties. How one prefers democracy and the other is a clown show worshipping a loser like Trump.

    My wife is liberal, but doesn’t give a damn about watching anything political other than the daily show so I don’t bore her with watching the DNC. I just watch recaps on YouTube.
