I really couldn't sit and watch more than 15 minutes of candy coated socialism that's manufactured for the consumption of soccer mom's in order to stop the rioting.
Michelle "I've never been proud of my Country" Obama is a wolf in sheep clothing built to be a tool for the Socialist Progressive movement.

Seemed like a long infomercial or telethon to be honest. I made it about 30-45 minutes in and couldn't do it anymore.

I listened to about 10 minutes last night when I drove to pick up my son from work. I could not stand it. It was a 3 AM infomercial and front page of Pravda all rolled into one.

I heard a few clips. The democrat party is the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to America. Their blatant lies to make their radical agenda palatable to Sheila Soccer Mom should be transparent, but unfortunately Americans are naively taking it all in.

F Biden, Harris, China, and the rest of the Democrats.

This. Politics is always filled with exaggeration and hyperbolic rhetoric. But here we've gone beyond that. We're in the realm of promoting an open socialist takeover of the United State (Bernie: at least the ole' phuk is honest about his plans). And spinning despicable falsehoods, conspiracy theories (that ridiculous USPS conspiracy they're floating now), and manipulative demagoguery (Michelle Obama).

It was sickening hearing some of the lamestream media blather on about how eloquent she was and how she nailed her speech. Actually, it was dreadful, filled with empty cliches and completely dishonest. And that whole "Go high vs go low" thing? OMG, the gall, the chutzpah, for any leftist to say that given the things going on right now. Going low? Let's see....Obama's team, maybe the Big O himself, directly using federal agencies to spy on and undermine the incoming, duly elected administration. False conspiracy theories. Holding up COVID-19 relief to the American people. Refusing to condemn, or even actively inciting (some members of the squad), the rioting and looting. Cancel culture.

Go low? Geez, this leftist bunch of cockroaches has mastered the art of going low, and then sweetly spinning lies about they're doing exactly the opposite. What's stunning to me is that they can site there with a straight face.

And John Kasich? Don't get me started. Idiot. Traitor. He sits there and says don't worry, Joe Biden won't go left. What reality is Kasich living in? Just minutes apart from Kasich's speech, you have Bernie openly describing his socialist takeover plans. But hey, no worries, Joe isn't going left.

I thought this was a joke when I first saw it but making national news now...it's almost like they are trying lose.

Didn't watch it, didn't want to watch it. There was a much better alternative - Tombstone - was on at the same time.

Recap: Orange Man bad - Sleazy Joe is great.
