I like the idea of a president who understands the importance of thyme.

Just 36 hours after President Joe Biden released his delegates Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the votes of enough Democratic convention delegates to win her party’s presidential nomination.

MAGA’s Dear Leader talked so long last night his convention lasted into a fifth day, at 1.5 hours the longest convention speech of a major party nominee in modern American history.

And as George W. Bush might say, “That was some weird shit”.

MeidasTouch Co-Founder Ben Meiselas: “Donald Trump said the following at his Republican convention speech tonight:

1. He asked if people knew his friend the “late great Hannibal Lecter.”

2. He praised Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orban.

3. He said North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un missed him.

4. He attacked the UAW Union.

5. He called COVID “the China Virus.”

6. He said he was buying votes in Wisconsin.

7. He thought Scott Walker was still the Governor of Wisconsin and praised his leadership. The Governor is Democrat Tony Evers who did not attend.

8. He said he was going to “take over the Auto Industry.”

9. He called Nancy Pelosi “Crazy Nancy.”

10. He said he wanted to hold the next Republican Convention in Venezuela.

11. He spread lies about the 2020 election.

12. He bragged that the Taliban called him “your excellency” and said they probably don’t call President Biden that.

Instead of giving a rousing and historically significant speech yesterday greeted by a standing ovation of NATO attendees what if President Biden said this:

“A waitress came over, beautiful waitress, and I never like talking about physical. She’s beautiful inside. Because you never talk about a person’s look. Ever. You never mention it. The other day I got very angry. Some man called Chris Christie fat. And I said, ‘sir!’ And then he said he was a pig. I said, ‘sir! Chris Christie is not a fat pig. Please remember that.'”

“Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing and hosp–lee. And we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms, screaming, ‘What can I do? What can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our country in Washington DC … right now if you leave Florida — ‘oh, let’s go darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial’ … and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped. We’re gonna take over our capital and we’re gonna run it tough and smart.”
