1. If the commentary sickens you, go straight to CSPAN. It's like you're sitting in the hall.

And you mercifully do not have to listen to the yammering opinions of people who don't have as much of a clue as an educated DUer.

7. They are assholes and seem to think they are the final arbiters of what we can see and hear.

They will do their best to pretend the DNC convention is as just as contested as the RNC. I read Chuck Toad is having the time of his life lying about the convention being chaotic and unruly, I hate that guy and everyone like him.

We have wonderful ideas and policies, the MSM will do everything they can to downplay our leaders messages!

10. CSPAN is also showing "commercials" -- the YT and twitter "shorts"

that have been put up over time. They are showing them on the screen above the podium.

The last one, w/Dr. Ken, was flat out hilarious!!!

Can't recommend CSpan highly enough!

13. It seems we are talking about two different things. It is CLEAR that Russia hacked the DNC emails

It is also clear that Trump, one week ago , said he would not support NATO in all cases. Perhaps a signal to Putin. So if you support what Russia has done and the damage that has ensued, perhaps I really would rather not engage in this conversation further. Just to be clear, personally I am to the left of Hillary and to the right of Bernie, not that any of that is relevant. If I have offended you, it was not and is not my intent to do so.

That Russia hacked the DNC emails or that all or even most of Sanders's supporters are now allied with tRump?

switch to CSPAN.

Of course Russia hacked the emails, and of course they want Trump to be Putin's puppet.

It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of Trump's income is over that way. We haven't seen his taxes, so how do we know...?
