Burge comments: "If you can see fit to threaten 15 years in prison for a kid for making a bicycle skidmark on street paint rainbow flag, I'd think you'd might be able to give a couple of these neo-Klansman vandals a couple of weekends picking up road ditch trash in a reflective vest"

Sure will be fun to watch.

Who cares? NPR assured me that the protests were largely peaceful in DC. I'm sure the same will happen in Chicago.

There were some skirmishes with police, who say they used pepper spray, but the atmosphere was largely peaceful as protesters sought to draw attention to ongoing violence they feel desperate to stop.

The rally in Butler was largely peaceful too.

They (all parties, not just the Democrats) should stick to doing online conventions (like during COVID in 2020) and be done with it.

And government officials should just stay in underground bunkers, there should not be foreign trips, and what’s the real point of having physical embassies?

I agree. What is the purpose anymore of having them in person? A way to congratulate themselfs I guess.

But, by the end of September, will anybody really remember what went on inside at the Democrat or Republic conventions?

To prove they exist and are still alive.

I remember the DNC convention in Chicago from 56 years ago.

And I'd suspect that most boomers do as well.

I remember inside....

And outside.

I see that picture whenever I hear Chicago and democrat.
