Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

And the Donald has responded to the criticism at the DNC in a respectful manner, saying that he wants to hit the speakers.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.![]()
For a moment, I thought that by "hit the speakers", you meant "take up of the mic for a counterargument" - kind of liking "hitting the debate floor".
How silly of me.
Oh God! Natural light!Muslim father of son who received a posthumous Bronze Star for military service: Asks if Donald Trump has even read the constitution. Pulls copy out of his pocket. "I will gladly let you borrow my copy."

The Dems are really driving up the Hot-Blooded patriotism in this convention. I think the next time the GOP accuses the Dems of being unpatriotic, it will lift more than a few eyebrows.
That's right, boys. Mondo cool.If anyone is wondering why so many people are wearing Neon Green, it's a Bernie supporter thing.
Who else expects Trump to respond with, "Well that's nice and all, really nice, but it was just a Bronze Star! Only a Bronze Star! Not a Medal of Honor, a mere Bronze Star!"
"Somehow the hated have to walk a tightrope, while those who hate do not."
