You obviously never learned how to watch TV for anything but exciting stuff like Memphis in a bowl game or the NCAAT. Or in your case, any soccer match in the world.
I rarely watch any TV program. What I do is keep it on the most interesting program possible (often a hard ask) and muted, look up now and then, and when something is interesting, I turn on the sound. If it's REALLY interesting, I'll run it back and watch whatever I missed. Otherwise, I'm in the room doing anything else but watching TV.
Last night the Braves were off, so the convention was about the only live thing on. I almost never watch taped TV shows, b/c they always edit out the goofs and flubs and funny stuff.
I didn't listen to a word of the daughter, or AOC, or Hillary, or most of the other stuff. But I did listen to Biden b/c I figured that was his swan song.
So that's how you watch a convention, lol.
I played poker.

You're welcome. I work on other things with the TV in front of me, and I turned it up to hear Biden's Last Stand.

Wrong. It was around a 50 minute speech. Starting shortly after 11:30 EDT and ending around 12:30 EDT (11:30 Chicago time).

It was sad that they forced Ashleigh Biden* to get jacked up and speak. They desperately want the Biden* family to appear normal and not the f*cked up, drugged up, pedos that they are.
AOC's speech about Trump selling the country out to his wall st friends for one dollar was especially stupid, even for her. Especially because A) Trump literally has no friends on wall st and B) Biden* was just found to have sold the country out for $27million.
They had way too many open seats. Earlier on, the convention are was about 90% empty. The DNC live feed was apparently pumping in applause and people yelling, because on the actual feed it wasnt happening. SOme of the earlier speakers would mention TIm Walz's name, and wait for the crowd reaction, which akwardly never came.
The DNC had a rule that DNC staff had to be smiling on the grounds. If you were caught not smiling, you received a verbal warning, followed by a sit down, followed by being fired if you were caught the 3rd time not smiling. They apparently failed to mention this to Tim Walz and his wife, who had scouls on their faces most of the night.
Harris was on stage for like 2-3 minutes, so that had little bearing on overall length. And most likely, that was not some last minute change.
Her name is Ashley. And I'll take a family with issues and tragedy over that ghoulish trump clan any day. Did you see the video of trump ignoring Tiffany. Great dad there!
And yeah, newsflash, political conventions are choreographed. 
But yes, at 5:30 central time, there was some empty seats in a place that seats close to 23k. But by all means, keep harping on crowd sizes all the way through mid-November when you realize a cackling black woman will be your president for four years. 
Really? I can’t imagine what’s going on in your family if think Joe’s a great dad.
That's probably because he doesn't know his dad, you know, no father figures and such. He's probably at that age where he was a latch key child and only had nintendo as his friend. But NOW, he's part of the Demonic party propaganda machine and they pay well. He's finally found a home, a disfunctional one but a home none the less.

Yeah, that's it. My dad passed away about 7 years ago. Atari's were introduced when I was a kid, but we couldn't afford them. I am not a Democrat and the DNC couldn't organize a one car parade, and no, I don't get paid to post here.
Other than that...

RE: DNC 2024
I watched a large portion of it last night. For those that didn't I'll give you the summary.
Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. Trump lies. Abortion. Project 2025 is evil because Trump might fire a bunch of do-nothing bureaucrats. Abortion. Abortion. AOC screaming that we just have to get out and vote Kamala into the White House so she can fix our problems from the past 4 years. Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. Trump lies. Abortion. Biden is one of the greatest President's of all time. Abortion. Abortion. Hamas has a good point. Abortion. More screaming about how if Dems were in the White House things would be better. Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. Nancy Pelosi licking her teeth. Abortion. Biden screaming. Abortion. Abortion. The End.

You post this while you decry people lying about things? I caught a second of Karl Rove also lying about this on Fox last night...before the blonde bimbo signed off from the DEMOCRAT National Convention...claiming all the money had been spent for 8 charging ports in one location. So stupid.
The program is just getting starting...the money has not all been spent yet. They're still being implemented.
Quote:Biden on building electric vehicle charging stations
Speaking about his administration’s goal to create more clean energy jobs, Biden said IBEW workers were at work “installing 500,000 charging stations all across America” to power electric vehicles.
Facts First: This is more of a promise than a fact, but even so, it needs context. For a few reasons, it’s questionable whether the Biden administration will be able to meet its goal of installing 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations on US roads.
Installing 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations has long been one of Biden’s goals. The president initially proposed Congress spend $15 billion to make it a reality, but just half of that – $7.5 billion – passed as part of the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law. The latest data from the Department of Energy shows the United States is still a long way from that goal; there are currently more than 180,000 EV charging ports operating at over 66,000 station locations around the US.
Though the administration has said that could be backfilled by private investment, that change in funding could hinder the administration’s ability to meet the goal. The federal government has spent the last few years sending money to states; states can now unlock more than $900 million in funding for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, which the administration estimated will “help build” chargers across approximately 53,000 miles of US highways.
Over the next five years, the full $5 billion will be spent to build out a network of EV chargers on major highways. Another pot of $2.5 billion in grant funding is also available for states to apply to; in January, $623 million in grant funding went out the door to help counties, cities and tribes around the nation install new charging stations for electric vehicles and long-haul freight trucks.
But it’s been slow going. States are still in the process of selecting companies to actually build the charging stations, meaning it could still take months or even years to fully see the impact of the money around the nation.
There is also a wide range in how much different types of chargers cost, and individual states have a lot of leeway in deciding what kinds of chargers will go on their roads. DC fast chargers can charge a car to mostly full in 20 minutes to an hour and are meant to go on major highways and roads. Another kind of charger known as an L2 charger can take hours to charge a car to full. But DC fast chargers are much more expensive, costing around $100,000 compared to around $6,000 for an L2, Ellen Hughes-Cromwick, a senior resident fellow at the think tank Third Way, has told CNN.

But hey, vote for trump, and infrastructure week will start next week!
