It would be nice to see an honest report on his speech firehose of lies in Cochise County today, but all I can find is video, and I'm not watching video of the quadfectee. Cochise County ... isn't that where the county supervisors almost went to jail for not certifying the election in 2022? I forgot.

But yes, he's convinced himself that 1) he was winning bigly against Joe Biden, and 2) Joe Biden was forced out by the truly evil Kamala Harris, which means that 3) all those months he spent shitting on Joe Biden and spending money attacking him were wasted, but now 4) he has to tell everyone that she's a LOT WORSER THAN JOE even though 5) it sounds stupid because 6) he spent all those months ignoring her and telling everyone that Joe was the evil one. I don't got any 7. :shrug:

Anyway, tonight is the next president of the United States of America.

Let's go, Harris/Walz. :towel:
I'm Foggy and I forget if I approved this message.

He should go look at the arena where the RNC was held and check out the bathroom signs. I mean, my Target has a family bathroom that's gender neutral. My local brewery has one bathroom marked for men and two other "one holers" that are non-gendered. No one has suffered an attack of any kinds afaik. I would suspect that all home bathrooms are non-gender specific and shared by genders.
My impression from the tweets is that the DNC put up signs relabelling one of what is normally a multi-stall women's bathroom (this is an arena remember) on each floor as a gender neutral bathroom. Of course, the only people I saw remarking on this were right-wingers finding it absurd.

Didn’t the TV show Ally McBeal have unisex bathrooms? Seems like old news.

I thought Kinzinger's speech was pretty good. I appreciated some of the things he said about Democratics. I hope all the Republicans for Harris are getting through.

I loved The Chick's rendition of the National Anthem.

Let me tell you sometime about the unisex bathrooms I had to use when I was in Korea. But hey, that's off-topic. For now.

For some weird reason I miss “Happy Days Are Here Again”. Maybe misremembering clips from old movies.

I'm not watching the convention, but I can tell when a speaker finishes; my phone gives me a notification that I've received a text. Always from that speaker. LOL

I had mentioned something earlier about a maybe surprise performer. Folks were speculating on Twitter that it would be Beyoncé. TMZ went so far as to absolutely state that Beyoncé would be performing. But I saw another tweet pooh-poohing the idea from the standpoint that VP Harris was the star of the night and it made no sense to bring a second person with equal star power on to the stage. This was Harris' night. So I didn't report TMZ's news back here because I tended to agree with that pooh-pooher. And they were right and TMZ was very wrong.

I saw a tweet suggesting that the rumor that Beyoncé would sing at the DNC convention was purposely started in order to get her fans to actually watch the DNC convention. Funny if true.
