You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Our wings are not tired.

I left the room for the exploited mom and opted for watching recorded entertainment. I know my limits. Back at it now about 45 min behind live time so I still have a FF option.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh. I have a FB friend who I guess knew the guy killed in Benghazi (through online gaming, I think), and he posted that his mother just delivered an address that would have made her son furious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I can't handle it. If someone keeps their head in this echo chamber and only hears this stuff? No wonder they're scared and angry and hateful. If this is what they believe, no wonder they want Trump.

Well, okay, still some wonder. Have they heard him talk? I'm still baffled how anyone can back him after listening to him talk.

Dana, that's interesting. I wondered why she didn't understand why her son was there. Was his position classified? He was a computer guy.

Holy crap, now the speaker is the mother of a Navy Seal killed in Afghanistan. What the hell, is Exploit Grieving Parents the hot new tactic on the Right?

I'm sure they will be in the ads too.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

There were FOUR! bereaved parents speaking tonight. SO MUCH EXPLOITATION. Manipulation. It is so uncomfortable.

Now we are in the middle of white male fragility bemoaning anyone not screaming American exceptionalism. USA USA chants being strongly encouraged over and over and over again. UGH and an interview with Scott Walker. hissssssssss.

Melania's speech was very long, but she did really well. People know she's an immigrant, right? How can she stand behind her husband when he makes the statements he makes about immigrants? How can he say those things when he's married to her?

I know I'm not the only one noticing the roomful of people who hate immigrants cheering for the Slovenian lady with the strong accent. Is she acceptable because she's white? Because she's blonde and beautiful? Or because she's married to a rich man? She won't be taking anyone's job or murdering anyone in the street, so she can stay!

brillig

She won't be taking anyone's job

Trump's previous wife may disagree.

Edit: Though they do say that immigrants do the job no one else wants to.
