DNC: Beyonce fails, best Kamala speech

Millennial Democrats outraged after Beyoncé fails to appear at convention (msn.com)

No word salad, no psychobabble pseudo-philosophizing, all humility, forward-looking, authentic

You may want to avoid the Beyhive today, as it is buzzing and ready to sting. There was heightened excitement among many heading into the final night of the DNC, not just because VP Kamala H. was set to accept the blue party’s nomination, but because of hope the singer behind her campaign anthem would “rain on the thunder” and “wave through the waters” of Chicago’s United Center.

I can ride out and crown the next Black prez. But I changed my mind.

Swift video shows she can get on stage and out of a cart

Who was the "special guest"? (There was a change of schedule, and the secret star got pulled at the last minute due to time, with boring Roy Cooper filling in. Did the star say no thanks after all?) It wasn't Pink or Eva Longoria or the list of names who came up for quick, to the point peptalks. It seems to have been a new "Kamala." Where has she been keeping this ability to be coherent, soft-firm, and someone we can get behind? She's an orator after all.

Swift and Beyonce fan theories for DNC performance

Election interference! Camela took drugs!

DJ Trump always knew Taylor "Nazi Barbie" Swift was for the liberal Democrats, of course. So are we. She meant to back G-Joe Biden but didn't. She needs to worry about her Southern fans and her money stream as a corporation. But Taylor is anti-Trump even if Trump lies and pretends she is backing him.

You're too pretty to worry, Don.

Will she show him by performing a free concert at the biggest event of Aug. 22, 2024? The DNC party is already the biggest convention of the year. If Swift or Beyonce show up and sing, fuhgeddaboudit.

Taylor has wrapped up shows in Europe with no one getting killed as was planned. Now the Devil's own daughter (as a blood clone of Aleister Crowley's Zeena) may be rushing with her football playing BF at her side to champion abortion, women's rights, and the first Black female for the country.

Beyoncé? Swift? Harris racks up celeb support as campaign courts young, Black voters

I can't make it...but my daemon Sasha Fierce can.
The rumors are flying over which huge music star might show up for Harris’s coronation tonight as the Democratic presidential nominee. Will it be Beyoncé, the Grammy-winning icon whose “Freedom” is the unofficial theme song of the Harris campaign? Or maybe Taylor Swift, whose European tour just ended and who Democrats have long seen as a huge potential endorsement (along with famous boyfriend Travis Kelce) this cycle?

You're a woman, Kam. You can do it! - Thx, Mike

(Newsweek) The Democratic National Convention (DNC) has been filled with surprises over the course of the past week. With performances by Lil Jon, an appearance from Oprah Winfrey, as well as former U.S. president Barry S. Obama and former first lady ~~Michael~~ Michelle Obama, viewers have been glued to the TV in anticipation for what could come next.

Buy my t-shirt with Tim Walz backing me

Ahead of the last day of the DNC on Thursday, August 22, several viewers have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share theories surrounding who they think may make a surprise appearance.

Theories began flooding the internet after popular anonymous X account @angry_staffer — who claims to be a former White House staffer — said the final day of the DNC is not to be missed, given an appearance by someone with star power.

Who will vote for Trump no matter how stupidly he behaves?

I can beat you, Biden. - Yeah, I'm old, but I bet you can't beat my Kam, Donald. - GTHOOH!

Does DJ want to be a disruptor and throw a wrench in The Machine that Washington "The Swamp" DC? He is a menace, an egomaniacal megalomaniac with authoritarian tendencies who never laughs and is always whining, complaining, and airing petty slights and plans for vengeance.

For all that, he seemed better than Genocide Joe. But with his posturing for Israel, war, and Netanyahu, who needs him? It is nice that RFK Jr. and Shanahan are backing him instead of Kamala "Word Salad" Harris, but will that be enough to win? The CIA rubberstamps an assassination plot by the FBI and Secret Service that then fails, gaining him a great deal of goodwill and a surge.

He promises to be a new Trump, having seen the light and learned to appreciate life, and what does he do with his lead instead?

Miley Cyrus beef with phony Taylor Swift

Republicans are suckers. That's why I love 'em.

Squanders it, fumbles it, goes negative, repeating the stupid story of how he braved being hit by glass or shrapnel from three or so shooters, and now no one cares. No one believes him. No one wants more of the same of this old sack of lie. A decrepit 78 and circling the drain -- bald, obese, albino, ginger, wearing a hairpiece in the back as a bald patch, farting endless and evacuating his bowels into stinking pairs of adult diapers while eating a constipating/diarrhea-inducing all junk food diet for fear of being poisoned? No thank you. Up with joy, down with weird. And the worst lie of all?

I can say anything, and they'll buy it.

"I don't know anything about Project '25, what's that?" The Republican plan, with a foreword by VP candidate JD Vance, and Trump doesn't know anything about it? He is lying. And he does everything he can think to do to distance himself from the dystopian, Orwellian blueprint for dictatorship because he wants votes by any means necessary. Truth be damned. Plan be damned. Republicans be damned. The whole country be damned. No thanks, MAGA friends. Your cult figure leader is a menace who deserves to go to prison, which is unlikely even after Judge Merchan sentences him to the maximum sentence. So go pay homage to Mar a Lago on your way to Graceland, but there is no way Democrats and Independents want anything to do with backing a lying idiot who now refuses to make much trouble or speak dangerous truths to power.
