You almost feel sorry for the protestors. Most of them are summer children, a generation that grew up enjoying the gentle policing techniques of Black Lives Matter, and the friendly arrest rules like, so long as you wear your mask, you’ll be released without bail. Anyway, they are about to learn that Winter is Coming. The New York Times ran an ominous story yesterday headlined, “Protesters Are Converging on Chicago. City Leaders Say They’re Prepared.” ...

So Democrats aren’t taking any chances. First, to protect themselves from their own voters, they’ve erected a wildly expensive ‘security zone’, multiple layers of fencing strategically deployed to frustrate any unapproved group activity and preclude parading. Don’t be silly, the security fencing is NOT a border wall, because reasons. Border walls don’t work, dummies.

Second, to avoid repeating the awful optics of 1968’s Convention, Democrats have scraped all the various groups together into a single, more managable blob, a cranky coalition of over two hundred different protest groups. They will all march —together! united! we cannot be divided!— in a single, giant parade of complaints, but joyfully, and they will share a single deluxe, high-profile stage with a killer sound system and all the amenities— all safely outside the Democrats’ carefully fenced security perimeter.

As you can easily imagine, the unified protest coalition represents a wide range of policy concerns, including abortion ‘rights,’ labor issues, LGBTQIA++, climate change, transgender madness, and of course, Gaza. The disparate collection of interests seems unlikely only to outsiders. In reality, the mix-and-match members often interchange with each other, as various kinds of unnatural relationships come and go.

Still, presumably, they’ll split the Palestinian protestors apart from the parading drag queens into different sections. As the song goes, you gotta keep ‘em separated.

Looking a little insurrection-ish at Chicago’s United Center all of a sudden as Illinois Governor Jabba the Pritzker orders a wall built around the perimeter to protect the Democratic Party from its very own basket of deplorables — the pro-Hamas, Antifa / BLM nose-ring-for-lunch bunch — with the state’s National Guard “on standby.” The New York Post and other news sources report 100,000 anti-Israel protesters migrating there to liven-up a convention that also has the potential to go off-script inside the arena — since the script was written by a handful of party mandarins, with the gamed consent of the convened delegates, who might be a little ticked off about the deal.

What the party needs most this week is a plausible aura that it is firmly in control of events, having pulled off coup-after-coup on its own rank-and-file. Most recently, Pelosi & friends passed the black spot to “Joe Biden.” (The easy way or the hard way.) He took the hint and dropped out. But then, how exactly did Veep Kamala get plugged into his slot? Five minutes prior, they were, like, yccchhhh, her? And then, two seconds later, somebody arranged a pre-convention Zoom call “virtual vote” of the delegates — like a Las Vegas David Copperfield magic trick — followed by “certification!” (By whom? Answer: the certifiers.) Badda bing, badda bang! Their “democracy” got rolled.

So, you can imagine that things might fly out of control in exact proportion to the Mandarins’ desperate need to seem legitimately in control — when they are just a clique of scared-stiff tyrants running scams on their own people — and the result looks like the Democrats’ certified metamorphosis into the Party of Chaos.

Why scared-stiff? Because of a long list of serious crimes against the American people over the past decade, various treasons committed under color-of-law, for which they fear prosecution and punishment if the wrong person gets elected. ...

Daley and his police were a rough bunch, and treated the hippie mobs in Grant Park and down on Michigan Avenue quite harshly, with tear gas and billy-clubs. The National Guard was poised visibly on the roof of the Art Institute with rifles trained down at the hippies below. Things got pretty yeasty. It’s a wonder nobody got killed. The party went ahead and nominated Humphrey with ruthless efficiency. In the end, the 1968 convention riots were an act of futility. The ’68 convention was the public debut of the organism that we call the blob today — the Deep State in action. And it was the twinkling-out of hippie idealism. The Vietnam War ran another seven years until it ended ignominiously under Gerald Ford, followed by disco, inflation, and the offshoring of US industry.

This time around, the news media has been fully absorbed into the blob, doing all its bidding, like the blob’s personal Chat GPT, while the blob itself has grown to be a larger and more potent governing entity than the flimsy scaffold of elected officials who front for it. But the Democratic Party has faltered badly in its years’ long efforts to cover for the blob, mainly by lying to the American people about everything. Running “Joe Biden” in 2020 was a dishonest act of desperation that only worked with a rigged election and then prosecuting anyone who attempted to complain. The party knew that “JB” was a mental phantom four years ago, and they had the effrontery to try running him again in ’24, until ol’ “Joe” made it impossible with his demented public behavior.

They also know that Kamala Harris is an empty vessel with a drinking problem, but they’ve desperately pulled out all the stops to make her appear legitimate. Her performance the past three weeks has not exactly been reassuring. Her running mate, Governor Walz, comes off straight-up insane. Why would they now not attempt to dump them with the same bad faith they installed them?

Gawd knows what mayhem might rock the streets outside the United Center. Recent years of degenerate USA life have produced a youth cohort with a staggering rate of mental illness. You’ve already seen plenty of how dark Antifa can get with its murderous trans cadres itching for action. But you’ve also got to wonder how the formal speeches by the party nabobs will go over? Might there be any booing of the elite? How will the crowd greet Mrs. Pelosi, the party’s consiglieri who arranged things as they are now? What on earth can Hillary Clinton say about the nominee she openly loathes? Will Bill Clinton, painted as a sexual predator by the Me-Too caucus, get a love-bath or a cold-shoulder? How false will the party’s unity seem? Will surprise motions arise from the floor to change-up the pre-scripted program? There are many more ways for things to go wrong this week than the simple dynamics that were in-play fifty-six years ago in Chicago.

1968 ReDUX - put up the garden chairs, pop the popcorn, and enjoy the decline.

You may find the event to be boringly peaceful. The leaders of the various protest groups have already been threatened not to make a scene. The media will not report any small skirmishes that may appear, nor if anyone like Pelosi or Clinton gets booed or heckled.

Definitely won't be '68. I think there will be some shit stirring. I hope I'm right, but I kind of think the Democrats are resigned to their fate at this point. You can't have the presumptive nominee drop out and install someone with zero votes publicly. Fine the delegates will make it happen. I just don't see any enthusiasm that isn't fake.

I've been wrong on this before, but I do think some solid blue states could be in play. Trump needs to tread more lightly with calling Kamala stupid. He's not wrong, but if he can court 2-4% of women voters it's done. I think he's already gotten a good chunk, for a republican, of black voters. Abortion shouldn't be an issue. Call your governor and state reps. It's not like he banned it during his term. Easy to deflect that topic. I also don't get the vibe 25-35 women are into abortion anymore besides blacks.

That's a small Uhaul. If I was in retirement mode I'd get my shit out of there ASAP and get the fuck out of DC. If the DNC ends up a shit show imagine inauguration. Move back to whatever piss hole east coast state he lives in and likely die in the next 5 years.

I'm not a MAGA cock sucker, but I'd be good with all past presidents dying at this point. It's a shitty legacy for all of them. Trump is at minimum more entertaining than any of them.

The show is starting!

I'm not some Israeli nut hugger, but who actually cares about the conflict? Nuttboxer jumped the forum over it. Don't kill 1,000+ people and you don't have to worry about this. Did they not watch the US with Iraq and Afghanistan??? Are Palestinians that retarded? I guess I'm not sure why I'm asking. We all know the answer. Starts with a Y.

Do you know how hard it is to rent a U Haul in California? No wonder the government covets them. Of course, that one probably has shackles for children.DemocratsAreTotallyFucked says

It started. They have someone speaking. But the seats are almost empty because the hamasholes outside are blocking the buses:

These guys already showed up at the Lahaina DEW Massacre to guard the perimeters for falsification by the Globalists and Freemasons, sans blue helmets. Everybody who drove by wondered who all the foreign police were. So, de facto Globalist invasion even aside from the illegal immigrant invasion is being sponsored by the Dems. I guess the NATO types are more reliable as prison guards for all those gulag camps they have built in the Southwest and Texas.

Oh, they did? Sez who?

Democrat 2024 Platform mentions "Biden's Second Term" at least 19 times.

Is Kamala the nominee or what?

Sheesh, I'm already gonna vote for him. You don't have to sell him, Lady.

republicans likely funded some shit there. they do that to each other.

She has a Medicare for All sign, yet demands that the government stay out of her Healthcare.

@Patrick ^^^^ here is a perfect example of IRREVERSIBLE brain damage right there. No 'saving' these ppl. We can only isolate them. I vote to put then in camps in Alaska. Work them on logging or mining.

There is that part where she attacks his masculinity, like he can't score a hot babe like herself. Female narcissism and histrionics are bottomless. At least she advertises the crazy loud enough to hear, no stealth there.

LOL! More fake but fun to frustrate Satan's Barbie Doll. Funny thing is, she can't do anything about this. How reverse Illuminati. They pay the big propaganda bucks, a few shitposters meme their media creations to death.

Trump, as usual, cracks me up.

The 'Wilderness of Mirrors' is operative, can't tell what's real any more. Mockingbird's two captive propaganda outlets going against the KamalaToe? What's up? There's a bunch of reverse Illuminati shit going on around the captured Kamala character that is well nigh impenetrable at this point.

https://t.me/qthestormrider777/23061

Now KamalaToe is channeling the Nazis? Is that anything for a good KommieKunt to do?

Looks like a different actor from the Biden stable, too. The avatar soap opera must have it's theatrical ending.

@DemocratsAreTotallyFucked I'm not claiming that leftists have to be intelligent to be converted.

You just need to know which buttons the TV is pushing and find other buttons that work better to get them to turn to the right.

It was never about facts. Trump was in fact an excellent president, but such a woman hates him anyway, for SEXUAL reasons. That's one button.

I haven't been watching, but I did see a clip of the UAW guy speaking complaining about Stellantis. He's yet to realize that he is in the process of putting a lot of Americans out of work.

If you’ve managed to avoid all the gushing media reports about last night’s buzzword-loaded but calorically empty speeches at the DNC in Chicago, you missed nothing. A series of far-left speakers pandered to the party’s partisan activists, including the vegetative Big Guy, there to get his 10%. The speakers studiously avoided every single issue regular people care about: the economy, the border, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, and barely even mentioned Gaza. Maskless, they repeatedly retconned the pandemic, bizarrely claiming to have fought lockdowns and mandates. ...

In contrast to most other corporate media reports, Politico observed we’ve been here before. Kamala’s “2020 presidential primary run similarly started on a high note,” the article admitted, “before her campaign devolved into a slog.”

Politico reminded readers of Kamala’s 2020 problems, like her see-sawing message, a “lack of crisp deliveries” of her policy positions, and her “uneven performances on the stump.”

Inside the Convention, Kamala Harris was advertised as the next best idea the Democrats ever had. They got the idea to coup the party’s elected nominee after a night of scheming and hard drinking with some Ukrainian oligarchs, fresh off the Nordstream bombing. (Around 2am, the conspirators had first voted to replace Biden with an animatronic donkey, but some more votes unexpectedly came in while Nancy was in the bathroom, so Kamala won by a nose.)

The real race starts in three days, as soon as the Convention ends. Politico pointed out that Kamala still must bridge the Israel-Palestine divide (protestors outside the Democratic border wall called her “Killer Kamala”). She must face reporters, currently relegated to a tent outside the Convention hall, who are still waiting to ask her some questions. And her recently unveiled economic plan landed flatter than a French crepe.

Ibid:

A few other cracks appeared in the Democrats’ color revolution. For instance, the AP ran a story yesterday headlined, “Democrats approve a platform that mentions Biden's 'second term' despite his making way for Harris.” Last night, Democrat delegates unanimously approved the 2024 party platform. The problem was, nobody edited it since early July, before they yeeted Joe. So the official 2024 Democrat Party Platform describes Joe Biden, not Kamala Harris, as the nominee.

In fact, the 92-page document mentions Biden nearly 300 times, compared to only a couple dozen references to Harris. Walz’s name is entirely missing.

It’s almost like the platform doesn’t matter, and it was all just for show. Or maybe they’re leaving room for a last-minute replacement.

Does this seem like merely a minor oversight, a forgotten formality? Or is it more serious evidence of a lack of attention to detail, Democrats moving too fast, and a leadership vacuum? What else might they be forgetting?

Seems to be deliberate as the committee that wrote it would have to be recalled to modify it. And then that would open up the Gaza can of worms, apparently.

And yes, platforms are pretty meaningless. Esp Democrat ones.
