Well, I'll be in and out from now on but this is a terrific night. I hope I can go back after November and listen to it end to end. What a dazzling array of Americans ... and I liked the non-politicians even better than the political leaders, in general.
Just about had a heart attack. My cleaning lady texted me a pic of a dog bite on her one of her staff’s thigh, and asked that I put my dog away while they clean as she was bitten back in July. What!!!??? I promptly texted that I would not allow anyone to clean until I could speak in person to her. She called, and said that another client’s dog bit the woman, but my stupid terrier scares her. I admit he can be scary, but he puts his ears back when yelled at. Well thank God! The pic looked like a much bigger dog bit her. Yikes. I told her I would rather she skips tomorrow until we could work out a specific time if I need to lock my dog up. I have known this woman for a very long time. Now I need to relax. Sheesh. RNC is very powerful tonight.

BREAKING TONIGHT: The Egyptian-born cab driver accused in the 2008 “honor killing” of his 2 daughters has been arrested in Texas. Yaser Abdel Said reportedly murdered his own girls because they were dating non-Muslim boys.
In MSP a murder suspect shot himself as cops approached.
“Witnesses” lied through their teeth, saying the cops shot him.
Media scumbags reported this as if true, others only marginally less slimy reported he “died after a police interaction”. Police showed surveillance camera video of the suicide to the media.
Passive bullshit phrasing always pisses me off with this phrase. The harsh reality of DANGER is much more effective than the namby pamby BS of in harm's way...
MM, from earlier, sure, I agree Trump knows about some of the vote frauds in progress. I don’t think he’s in a great position to do much of anything about it.
"The Storm" has already started. Teva Indictment was far, far larger than the headline. 6 separate conspiracies, all listed. Almost like a road map, just like The Panama Papers Series are a money laundering roadmap, globally. How did tax scofflaw names of 2600 Belgian and thousands of Indians drop into tax authorities' laps in the last few days? Magic? Google searches of The Hong Kong Papers should produce only one DoJ pdf, for Reading, MA. Only that one.
Finally caught up, but I admit I'm obsessed with this subject:
Here's what a scumbag DeBlasio is. It's not about health or science, it's about hurting middle and income people (but really he's hurting workers and small business owners).
Mayor Bill de Blasio suggested Tuesday he’s reluctant to restart indoor dining because it’s an activity for middle- and upper-income New Yorkers that clashes with his pledge to transform the Big Apple’s “tale of two cities” with progressive policies.
Incredible. Not that De Blasio thinks like that, but that he knows he can publicly acknowledge and not get run out of town on a rail. Yeah, I know "we" voted for him, but I bet most who voted would not have expected him to destroy the city's lifeblood just out of pique.
It also reminds me of the infamous luxury yacht tax, which was intended to soak the rich but barely raised any revenue and mainly ended up hurting workers in the boat industry.
Carp!
I missed Grenell.
VP Pence is on, grieving for the retired cop killed in St Louis(?) during a riot, as I recall he heroically went out in the dark of night to help his old department, the wife or a daughter is in the audience and Pence speaks directly to her.
