Me it'll sound better coming from Melania.
Ha!
Me it'll sound better coming from Melania.
Watching Booker and Obama tonight, I can imagine Democrats feel much like I felt watching Marco Rubio's withdrawal speech.
Yet a woefully depressing nominee this go 'round.Deep bench.
Yes it looks very silly, as you don't show up to designated places to sell drugs illegally.
We also have decades of data on both crimes, one is prevalent and one isn't. Hmmmm.
YEAH MURDER BABIES WOOOOOOO!
I feel like I opened a gameday thread.
Okay, enough of this freak show. Make America Great Again.
Hillary has government experience. Trump has none. Like I said, I'm not a Hillary fan, but I just feel more comfortable with her heading our government than Trump.
I'm never going to like Trump so this is like therapy. If I can get myself to detest the Democrats enough, pulling the lever for The Donald might not require as much liquor.
What the fuck, that was racist as fuck!

If Hillary Clinton is pant suit Lucifer, what does that make Elizabeth Warren? This lady is terrifying.

Low energy.
No this needs 90% more complaints about Joe Schmidt

There sure are a lot of you conservatives watching the DNC tonight.
I was wrong in that I thought Cleveland would be left in flames from protests and Philly would be lame. It's not flames, but it is good to see people protest the corrupt one.
Also, am I the only one hoping wikileaks has more drama to dump this week? I'd like to see some more good stuff to stir up the pot this week.
I've been really impressed with how the Republicans have really rallied around The Don.
(CNN)Violent crime is on the rise so far this year in major cities across the US compared to the number of homicides, rapes, robberies, assaults and shootings that occurred in the same cities by this point in 2015, a new report has found.
The midyear violent crime survey released Monday by the Major Cities Chiefs Association shows 307 more homicides so far in 2016, according to data from 51 law enforcement agencies from some of the largest US cities.
In addition to a large increase in homicides, major cities in the US have experienced more than 1,000 more robberies, almost 2,000 more aggravated assaults and more than 600 non-fatal shootings in 2016 compared to this time last year. The only category of violent crime not reflecting an increase when compared to last year is rape.
The 316 homicides reported by the Chicago Police Department were by far the most of any law enforcement agency included in the survey, a 48% increase over last year. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said there were 110 homicides so far this year, compared to 85 in 2015. San Jose's 25 homicides more than doubled the amount during the same period last year.
Data for New York City was notably absent from the report. The association said it had not yet received data for the nation's largest city in time for its study.
The MCCA is comprised of police chiefs and sheriffs representing the 68 largest law enforcement offices in the US and was created to discuss common law enforcement issues and ways to solve them in urban areas.
In May, the same group released another report which showed a 9% increase in homicides across dozens of US cities over the first three months of 2016 compared to the previous year.
Responding to Donald Trump's convention speech last week, in which the Republican presidential nominee spoke of rising crime and violent threats, President Barack Obama downplayed the notion that violence is increasing in the US, though he conceded that there has been an uptick in violence in some major cities.
"This idea that America is somehow on the verge of collapse, this vision of violence and chaos everywhere, doesn't really jibe with the experience of most people," Obama said during a press conference in the White House East Room alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
"Although it is true that we've seen an uptick in murders and violent crime in some cities this year, the fact of the matter is that the murder rate today, the violence rate today is far lower than it was when Ronald Reagan was president and lower than when I took office," Obama added.
Lessons learned from Day 1 of #DemsInPhilly: Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, and just about everyone else who spoke is more popular than the nominee, who doesn’t speak until Thursday. It’s going to be a long week.
