  • Prediction: day two will be absolutely filled to the brim with American flags. Because now it's been pointed out. It was not an oversight. They really didn't have any there because America is not important to them.

    Love all the "did not watch it, but..." input... but even better is all the other shit... and it is shit... being posted...Don't you guys ever get tired of being wrong due to blatant biases induced blindness?

    Case in point... the flag thing.... snopes is already all over it... but first my input...

    • Might explain yesterday's pledge... "I pledge allegiance to the flag that's not here.." (Yes, the pledge was taken Day 1... and just now again Day 2.) They had a color guard and everything.
    • Basically the RNC had one, real flag on stage throughout its convention on the left-hand side of the stage... DNC had one to the right opening nite.
    • Both conventions displayed flag images on their jumbotrons although the 20+ behind Trump day 4 is the 2016 record. Hi, Ivanka... Nice speech...ezgif.com-resize.gif

  • I watched Kaine speak. I think we would have another first if for some reason he had to take over as president. The guy seems to have some sugar in his tank.

  • Haha I guess I am not alone in this opinion.

  • seriously.

    things are so bad at the dnc...

    that they cancelled the Kaine supporter's speech.

    too many boos...

  • Man, the irony of Biden talking about how Trump supports torture - did he forget that they used advanced interrogation techniques to get info on bin Laden? I don't really give a damn if we torture terrorists, and I think it's a horseshit argument about how it makes us less safe. How are things working out for France and Germany? Most transparent administration in history, my ass.

  • you know, saw a bit or two of the dnc clown circus...and well...

    they have these churches where they get all emotionally berserk,

    speak in gobbly gook, and shake and roll around on the floor -

    holy rollers.

    I think that is what the dnc convention is. Just a wild ass emotionally berserk

    lsd kind of gathering. Very weird - like a bunch of manson family members.

  • Religion at the DNC?

  • pseudo-religion, but similarities

    they babble out of their minds like it.

  • ... but they're all atheists...

    Snopes has little credibility with me:

    Snopes.Com Runs Interference for the Democrat Convention

    Remember all those American flags onstage during the first night of the Democrat convention?

    Me neither. That Democrats are allergic to the bars and stripes isn’t really a surprise. That being said, however, they did scramble to toss up a few token shows of patriotism for the second night.

    The first-night snub of Old Glory was not missed, and the move was widely panned.

    According to the Daily Caller, however, myth-busting site, Snopes.com, rushed to do damage control and stop the internet reports of that America-less first night.

    First, the facts. TheDC reported on Monday about the lack of visible American flags at day one of the convention. Several flags were briefly on stage for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance, at which point they were carried off stage, as the C-SPAN video for Monday clearly shows at the 35:40 mark. Even PolitiFact, which tends to lean to the left, noted that “when the color guard left, so did the physical flag.” After that point, the stage was devoid of any American flags for the remainder of day one.

    As reported by TheDC, the DNC added flags to the stage for the second day of the convention — Tuesday, July 26. That same day, Snopes writer Dan Evon wrote a “fact-check” article declaring it “false” that: “No American flags were on display at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.”

    Evon offered as proof A) a screenshot from PBS’ coverage of day one, taken during the pledge of allegiance — before the flags were removed — and 😎 the below screenshot of C-SPAN’s day two coverage (visible at the 6:36 markhere) and claimed it was from day one of the convention. In fact, Mallory Weggemann — the paralympic swimmer who gave Tuesday’s pledge of allegiance — can be seen sitting in her wheelchair as the flag-bearers walk past her.

    Snopes apparently took several shots at pushing the false narrative of the Democrats’ show of Americana from the first night forward; all disproven.

    Just keep that in mind when you’re searching for facts from Snopes. The information given may likely be colored by their political leanings, so proceed with caution.

  • Am I the only one that has not seen one second of the DNC?
