    Well to be fair, Biden was 49 years old when Ukraine gained its independence and back then there was a debate if the "k" was silent. So he didn't say Iranian, he said Urainian. Obv.

    Also... anyone else see Pelosi literally almost fall over when she got up so fast after the "support our veterans" line? Man, that was so close to being THE highlight of the night.

      Other than the 13 dead soldiers in Afghanistan which didn't get a mention.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        And as I said in another thread, the "Greatest Threat to Our Democracy(™)" didn't get mentioned either.

            Stephen Greene:

            Biden says he'll have the backs of transgender kids.

            Finally, there's a joke so dirty I won't even drunkblog it.

                Back in the days when Biden was in Congress, he loved his pages bent over.

                We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
                Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                  It was remarkable how strong of a "We must FUND the police!" statement he made, to a rowdy applause. If there has ever been a clearer case of spineless politicians, that was it. Can you imagine ANY of them (Joe, Kamala, et al) saying that 12-18 months ago?

                        “Defund the police”, faithfully parroted by your local lefties, is the greatest proof I’ve seen that there is no limit to the stupid the leftist masses will parrot if called upon to do so.

                              I wonder if the dem strategists told Biden that now, under the distraction of COVID and WWIII, that now is the time to pivot back on a few stances (like immigration and funding the police) that have grown unpopular.

                                      Speaking of defunding, back in 2016 the big push from a certain Presidential candidate was to defund Ukraine. * Republican delegates at last week’s national security committee platform meeting in Cleveland were surprised when the Trump campaign orchestrated a set of events to make sure that the GOP would not pledge to give Ukraine the weapons it has been asking for from the United States.*

                                        Well his campaign manager worked for Russian interests in Ukraine. Got pretty rich off of them, in fact.

                                          Defund NATO, defund Ukraine &c was all part of MAGA, as well as the need to investigate corruption.

                                          None of that meant "Let Russia invade a sovereign country".

                                          Your attempted whataboutism doesn't work here -- the Dems main message was "Defund the Police" "Open the Borders" etc without any regard for the security of the US -- which is their only obligation.
