Night 2 of the 2024 Democratic National Convention once again featured empowering speeches from some of the most beloved figures in the party that no doubt had a certain convicted felon down in Florida flinging ketchup all over the walls. Here are just a few of the highlights…
A roll call that felt like a circuit party 🪩

Lil Jon emceed and DJ Cassidy laid down a different track for each state and territory listed during the roll call to nominate Kamala Harris for President, including songs by some of our favorite queer artists and icons like Chappell Roan, Demi Lovato, Whitney Houston, the B-52’s, and more.
Not one but two packed stadiums
Why fill up just one stadium when you can pack two? As Democrats celebrated at the United Center in Chicago, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz held a joint celebration 80 miles away in Milwaukee, at the same arena where the RNC was held last month. And that, friends, is what they call a flex. 💪
Tammy Duckworth VS “Cadet Bone Spurs”
The retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel and Illinois senator laid into draft-dodging Donald Trump (a.k.a. “Cadet Bone Spurs”) as only she could in a brief but biting five-minute speech that also slammed Republicans for their attacks on IVF.
Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama
The forever FLOTUS gave an inspiring and emotional 20-minute speech that, honestly, if you haven’t seen yet, you must. (Watch it here.) It will no doubt go down in history as one of her best. Mrs. Obama and her ponytail had everyone in tears and on their feet, but the moment that got the loudest response was when she politely informed racist Donald Trump that “the job he’s currently seeking just might just be one of those ‘Black jobs’.”
Barack Obama‘s message of hope
20 years after he made his national debut at the 2004 DNC, the 44th President of the United States took the stage once again last night and gave a powerful speech about hope, unity, accepting each other’s differences, and moving forward together. He also worked in a few jabs at Donald Trump, including an aside about the ex-president’s “weird obsession with crowd sizes” which included an impromptu hand gesture that did not go unnoticed by the crowd.

I loved it when the Democrats leading our national anthem didn’t know the words. Classic. True patriots!

The Dems showed how it’s done on Night 2. A convention full of life and excitement, that DJ Cassidy state delegation roll call that set a new standard (Lil Jon!), so many great speakers and speeches, the Obamas giving moving speeches that any orator could learn from, and Kamala Harris’s and Tim Walz’s stunning nomination acceptance gathering in Milwaukee (15,000+ people), at the same time as thousands packed the United Center up to the upper decks! I don’t think there was a Dem who envisioned this back in June!

Tim Walz prepares to introduce himself, helped by football players. Yummy! Another terrific night ahead for us.

The same Doug Emhoff that cheated on his first wife with the kids nanny and got her pregnant? Swell guy.
Woody
Donald Trump’s campaign has launched a website describing Vice President Kamala Harris’s policies — since her own presidential campaign has yet to include any on her own campaign site more than four weeks after she joined the presidential race.
Well, she does have two policies that she has talked about – both of them stolen from the Trump/Vance campaign. Classic. You can’t make this up?

Sit down child.

If you are outraged by Emhoff having an affair, wait until someone catches you up on DJT. Cheats on his first wife …. Second wife … third wife …. Then had the first one buried on a golf course. The high watermark of swell guys.

Woody prefers to support Trump. You know, a convicted sexual abuser who has cheated on three different wives, paid off women for sex and has credible accusations of rape against him by more than 10 other women.

The trollalso supports Melania who is totally complicite in all of his many crimes.

Eternal.Cowboy, so true. And don’t forget, Ivana said that DJT r@ped her; a woman filed suit saying that that DJT and Epstein r@ped her when she was 13; DJT admitted to sexually assaulting women; DJT was civilly convicted of sexual assault and defamation of E. Jean Carroll; and then there’s the hush money case (34 unaminous jury felony convictions). W00dy’s in his FoxNews/Breitbart cocoon.
