Besides, the Dems pushed Biden's speech out of primetime.
What?
I didn’t watch, but I saw something showing Biden at a podium around 6 last evening. That’s when I commented that he looked like my dad.

@Copper said in The DNC Convention:
Opening remarks by an Indigenous guy.
He continued, "From time immemorial, our ancestors lived in the Great Lakes region. However, in 1849, an illegal auction by the U.S. government forcibly removed our tribe from our homeland. Since then, we have been working to reclaim it."
"From time immemorial" meaning the time this Indigenous guy took it away from some other Indigenous guy.
LOL isn't that the truth. It was only illegal when the USA did it because... we won. You'd think history class would teach less about gender protests and more about how countries formed over time. Whoever was stronger.

I looked at the transcript of Biden's speech.

There's no freaking way he could say that.

@George-K said in The DNC Convention:
Israel (and Jew).
He didn't mention the British either. I'm a little hurt. We set this country up.

True. But pretty much irrelevant 200 years later.
