"Finished it!!!! Wow…okay…. Thought’s Solid day 1…. Good speeches, the democrats bench for speakers are deep! AOC was particularly good… so was senator warnock Need to tighten up on the speeches.. need to talk quicker! Can’t be finishing at almost 12.30 eastern!!! (To give you a sense of how late they ran… bidens speech started at the same time the late night talk shows would have!… kimmel/fallon and Colbert all start at 11.30 eastern) Only bit that really made me cringe is when the delegates started chanting lock him up in the middle of Hillary Clinton’s speech…. No need! Let the system do its thing! But other than that.. day 2 has 2nd dude Doug, and both Obama’s… as well as others!! " Being not overly aware of the American psyche, can I ask whether you think that chants of "lock him up" are likely to work for or against the Democrats among the undecided electorate? Speaking from my very restricted UK perspective, it wouldn't encourage me to vote Democrat if I was undecided....and wouldn't encourage me to vote for Trump either. | |||

"I’ve watched the highlight What did they mean by hope is making a come back? " Make America Great Again. You tap into people's nostalgia and promise more of it in the future. I.e.: Remember those good old days, when we had hope? Then someone came and took that away, and things are crappy and hopeless. We can bring back those good old days, when there was hope. It's a theme that's hundreds of years older than MAGA. In fact, the Blues Traveller song/video clip "Hook" illustrates it well. Standard politics. | |||

Hey… 25 dollars!, never give more than you can afford to lose!! "Yeah but....giving your own hard earned cash to an organisation that is entirely backed by massive corporations and millionaire donors with various vested interests, agendas and dodgy dealings? Surely your vote (admittedly worthless) is donation enough? Giving money to wealthy career politicians who don't know or care about you is senseless at best. I'm sure there's a worthy cause somewhere that would benefit more if you gave them 25 bucks. Giving it to already wealthy people over a cause that could do with the cash seems a little sick, maybe? But then of course....you're a democrat...ties in nicely. Knock yourself out | |||

"Bit of fact checking ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyw1l4lgnlo It's a good job they never fact checked Obama and Biden speech "I don’t know if that is quite the flex you think it is if you read the actual article…. 3 of those 5 flat out aren’t false!
So of the 5 major points mentioned in the article…. The trump pulling the US out of NATO one is true (in fact because of what happened on January 6th, the senate rushed through a bill stating a president cannot unilaterally pull the US out of NATO, it now needs a senate supermajority to do it .. 60 votes out of 100)
The immigration law trump takes a victory lap and takes credit for it… which is weird since the bill was written by one of the most conservative senators, James Langford of Oklahoma, contains almost every demand that republicans made, and nothing on DACA or a dreamers pathway to citizenship
The reason trump has given for tanking the bill, was that he wanted immigration to be an election issue …. Irony being if it was trump in power with the current state of the house and the senate… that bill would not pass!
The increase in bills being $4000 dollars a year….. again estimates have been between $1700 and 4600 depending on the analysis… however this is one of those where trumps mouth may get him in trouble … because in the last couple of weeks Trump has been saying it would be a 10% tariff, he has been floating the idea of a 20% tariff
Obviously if he does that those estimates would rise!
So that deals with 3 of the 5 claims……. I am going to deal with birth control and abortion rights separately because those I think will need added context with regards to how SCOTUS has chimed in

"Oh I read it but I disagree with the BBC about nato, from what I recall, trump did threaten to take the states out due to the European countries not paying their way ... bit of a wake up call, think he threatened to pull troops out of European soil.
At the time I agreed with him, as only a few were paying the required fees, the UK was paying more I think 🤔 | |||

You're complaining about someone not reading and then leaving out context. Be genuine.
CLAIM: “Trump … threatened to abandon Nato.”
VERDICT: This is true. Trump did threaten to leave the alliance. He has also said the US will remain a member as long as European allies increase their defence spending.
"During his time in office, Trump did put “tough demands” on Nato members to meet their commitment to spend 2% of their GDP on defence, according to Rose Gottemoeller, who was Nato deputy secretary general during Trump’s presidency. In 2016, the year Trump was elected, five countries were spending 2% or more of their GDP on defence. That increased to nine by 2020, the year Biden was elected. And it has now gone up to 23 countries, according to Nato’s 2024 estimates. | |||
