Not that Bridge Over Troubled Water isn’t an apt anthem for the DNC, it’s just that after last night’s touching reunion onstage I think this Paul Simon standard might have been more appropriate:
No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine
I can't for the life of me Remember a sadder day I know they say let it be But it just don't work out that way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again
No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine
I just can't believe it's so Though it seems strange to say I never been laid so low In such a mysterious way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again
But I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day When the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away.
Oh the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reunion Is only a moment away
Remember the RNC’s daily themes? Make America Safe Again, Make America Work Again, Make America First Again and Make America One Again? And while the Dems mocked the themes that didn’t stop them from purloining the theme-of-the-day concept for their own convention.
Day 1 theme: BLM – Bernie Lives (don’t) Matter, aka "United Together." If by “united” you mean divided
Bernie Bro haz a sad
and by “together” you mean not so much.
Day 2 theme: BLM – Blue Lives (don’t) Matter, in which "Mothers of the Movement" were featured speakers of the evening.
Brought to you by the party responsible for creating the need for “The Movement.”
Whereas the sub-theme for the day was “A Lifetime Of Fighting For Children And Families” the DNC exploited the grieving mother’s of thugs whose lives were “prematurely” ended by police action and the grieving mothers of children whose lives were prematurely ended by thugs. And Republicans are to blame for both because a) cops acting stupidly, and b) guns. Take away message: Black Lives Matter butt Blue Lives Don’t.
Secondary BLM theme of the day: Bill’s Life Still Matters. I’d like to say he’s still got it, butt clearly he doesn’t.
To hear him tell it, Al Gore was wrong - Love Story was not about Al and Tipper; obviously it was inspired by the Clintons life-long love affair.
Today, Day 3, is once again BLM – Barack’s Life Matters as Barry takes to the podium to tell us why his best Secretary of State will also be his best replacement. Should he decide to leave.
So far this convention has been a resounding success. Unity,
Boy, Lady Mreally brought it last night. It only took 7 1/2 years and untold billions of dollars – butt behold, a FLOTUS who’s ready for prime time.
Dress, age appropriate; voice, toned down (sorry, pretty sure that’s a sexist microaggression of some sort). And I think she’s been taking speech lessons from Hillary’s voice coach. Unfortunately, even with the coaching, she still schtruggled a little with those pesky “st” words like “schtronger,” “schtrength,” and “shtriving:” butt bless her heart, she tried.
“We cannot afford to be tired or frush-trated or cynical.”
All while managing to keep race front and foremost - because we all know that’s even more important than having a vagina:
“That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.
And last night was all about the children, because terrorism, trade imbalances and the economy are really Republican issues Problems:
I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters. [ed. that shounds dangerously close to “All Lives Matter” – which we now know is not true.] A president who truly believes in the vision that our founders out forth all those years ago, that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story. And when a crisis hits, we don't turn against each other. No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other. Because we are always schtronger together.
Because you see, now that Obama is passing the torch to the first female president, it’s all about the children, again:
You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.
Something like this?
Yep, if we elect Hillary she’ll wake up everyday in a house built by slaves too.
Slaves to Wall Street, Big Corporations, Foreign governments
