      - A quick google found me this. Do you recall the thickness? -- (link) - oblique Aug 21, 09:58 3
        
        nope but after a quick amazon search probably ~ 30 mil (so I would go heavier than that) -- nm - decline Aug 21, 10:00 2

        a total dipshit. Even Sid Rosenberg (a bigtime morning radio MAGA fluffer here in the tri-state area), cant stand Bongino. -- nm - Jovian Aug 21, 09:44
  - Other than PT Barnum levels of self-promotion, what do any of those clowns have as areas of expertise? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 21, 09:20 2
    - Areas of expertise include: being the biggest and worst voices of the Maga cult. (w exception of Ron Ron) - Jovian Aug 21, 09:38
    - grifting dummies is a kind of expertise -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Aug 21, 09:20

    - Spike Lee did not deserve to be on that rocket -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 09:33

So Im catching up on speeches. Seeing some of these crowd shots...how in the hell, with Michelle and Barack Obama speaking... - Turd Ferguson Aug 21, 09:02 25
- Also - I can't even imagine what it must feel like to be Kamala Harris during this week. - Turd Ferguson Aug 21, 09:11 21
  - I'm the inverse now, -- I wonder what Biden's thinking. He's built this current situation and they're dancing on his grave while he's still kicking. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 09:16 19
    - If Monday’s speech was any indication, it was definitely the right call. - znufrii Aug 21, 09:55
    - She's not a "change" candidate, she's an "amplify" candidate -- nm - rollo Aug 21, 09:43 1
      - Not to bring a pat reply, but one brilliant thing about Biden's move is that she both is and isn't. -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:51
    - Yeah. Even though it's the right decision and what has to be done, it has to hurt on some level even if he agrees. -- nm - Dano Aug 21, 09:40
    - The alternative is that he stays in and loses. What's that do for his legacy? It's bittersweet of sure, but he chose the best option for Dems/America -- nm - ty97 Aug 21, 09:31 4
      - Add to that a reckoning with his own mortality though. "This is real now. Final chapter of life begin." -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:34 1
        
        Yes. I've mentioned before that my dad is also 81 and I've though of him often throughout this. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:35
      - And I actually think he realizes that. It took him time but I think he gets it. Doesn't mean he *likes* it nor should he. -- (edited) - ty97 Aug 21, 09:32 1
        
        It will be an interesting think to look back at with clear eyes. He was the perfectly right candidate in 2020 and perfectly wrong in 2024. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:34
    - (1) given how all his other presidential runs turned out, the best single term of our lifetime? take the dub; (2) he shoulda bragged more about it - mr mooch Aug 21, 09:23 3
      - Nancy kinda needs to ride into retirement too, but I think she did what had to be done. -- nm - ty97 Aug 21, 09:36 2
        
        AOC is certainly happy she's not speaker anymore, yet I feel like ST always dunks on Hakeem Jeffries. -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:40 1
        
        deservedly so -- nm - mr mooch Aug 21, 09:44
    - There are multiple emotional moments to be found surrounding his speech. I imagine "In the just-missed alternate timeline, it woulda been me!" -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:22
    - If I'm a philanthropist, having twice selected the person who will next solidify the best chance for improving lives would feel like a huge win to me. - Max Aug 21, 09:21 1
      - "I love my job, but I love my country more." -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 09:32

      - Word. And literally everyone has been giving him his flowers. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 21, 09:24 1
        
        They should do a 'Thank you Joe' fest the day before inauguration. I'd consider going. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:50
  - she was very obviously emotional last night in milwaukee. I can never run for president because I can only hide so much emotion. she's a rock so - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 21, 09:15
- I did wonder about that too and then quickly decided they must be doing their jobs. - con_carne Aug 21, 09:07 1

Logistical question, do they have someone handing out signs to the delegates before each speech or do they just get a stack of them when they walk in? -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 08:20 4
- They do get breaks that we surely don't see. Those signs look a bit pristine to have been chucked under a packed arena seat for hours, -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 08:59
- i assume each seat has one of everything underneath for a given night -- nm - mr mooch Aug 21, 08:21 2
