Democratic National Convention Chicago 2024, News and Developments

[sharkman]

Oddly enough, the DNC was last in Chicago in 1968.  LBJ, the incumbent, had announced that he was not running so the convention was to determine the democrat candidate.  Somewhat similar to the present circumstances, which I find fascinating.  Wikipedia describes some of the events  as follows:

Quote

The convention was among the most tense and confrontational political conventions ever in American history. The convention's host, Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago, had refused permission for "anti-patriotic" groups to demonstrate at the convention, and had the International Amphitheatre, where the convention was being held, ringed with barbed wire while putting the 11,000 officers of the Chicago Police Department on twelve-hour shifts. In addition, there were 6,000 armed men from the Illinois National Guard called up to guard the International Amphitheatre, giving the feeling that Chicago was a city under siege.

 

Here's some coverage of preparations being made for next week, including fencing and barricades. 

 

 

The powers that be for this event seem to be preparing for the worst, just in case.  Fences and barricades are going up around the facility that is hosting the event.  Key note speakers include Joe Biden himself, Michelle and Barry Obama as well as Bill and Hilary.   At least 6 protests are planned, from various activist and extremist groups.

And he noted, his organization referred to Harris as “Killer Kamala” even before she topped the ticket and continues to push for harsher restrictions on the Israeli government, like an arms embargo — something that a top Harris adviser has said she doesn’t support.

There are at least six major protests planned on the streets of Chicago during the Democratic National Convention. The biggest is planned for the first day, Monday, when “tens of thousands” are expected to march just blocks from the United Center, where Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will give their acceptance speeches.

 

 

This strikes me as a little bit odd.  Kamala has been moving up in the polls and the tent that is the Democrat movement is much closer to the causes of these activists than any other option.  Why protest before the election?  Why not wait and see if they win and can actually do something for your extremist group and cause?  What benefit can a protest of over 10,000 people produce? 

Anyway, I think the DNC could be very notable this year and worth following along this week.  It will be interesting to see what the Media covers, and what they ignore.

Whole lot of creepy stuff going on at the DNC like an abortion truck. What's with these perverts and killing babies?

I don't know, but it's not uncommon and it's not even exclusive to America. It's not even entirely exclusive to the left.

Basically the prevailing theory is that After she's elected she can say she never made any promise to do anything for them. If she is forced to commit right now to make them happy and keep them quiet that she can be held to account for that later on. But if she's not willing to make that commitment then she's not really going to do anything for them anyway

.It has the potential to be a big problem for her at the convention. They absolutely need this convention to go well, she has got to be at least six or seven points ahead of trump heading into the fall. Unless by some miracle the debate goes a hell of a lot better than it's likely to she probably won't have much of a chance to lift people's opinions of her between now and november. God knows if she actually appears in public and answers questions she's going to get slaughtered. So she has to have that lead to count on

Certainly a very liberal thing to do to castrate your men and kill babies.

This is actually the first decent thing that the Dems ever did: sterilize their dolt horde.

Off-Script Disaster: Kamala Harris Confounds PA Crowd with Word Salad on ‘Duality of Democracy’

Kamala Harris Confounds PA Crowd with Word Salad (breitbart.com)

While speaking at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to stumble over her words while explaining what the 2024 presidential election is “about” and what the United States stands “for around the globe.”

“Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy,” Harris told the crowd. “As a democracy, we know, there’s a duality to the nature of democracy.”

Writer Greg Price posted a video of Harris’s speech on X, and commented, “Kamala word salads are so back.”

I'm sure the cultists will come out of their seance without incident. 

Have a good time, woketards!

Are you weasels planning to tunnel under them? 

No? Then they'll probably suffice. 

But I'll let them know to be on the lookout for a Rascal scooter with a ladder strapped to the basket.

Here is a screenshot from the DNC schedule for Wednesday.

The party of racial segregation is still going strong.

I predict that the mainstream media will give glowing and fawning coverage of this convention. 'Joyful, happy, full of energy..positive vibes, love...

Something that their schedule doesn’t show.  Would you believe that we are now in a full moon cycle?  Apparently it started on Sunday and it goes until Wednesday.  Police forces all over the world know what that means…

why we have these conventions is questionable. The candidate has long been decided and so all they really are.. a dog and pony show.

TBF to Kamala, she came so close to getting it right.

What she really meant was "Duplicity of Democrats". That would have been bang on target.

The DNC was last in Chicago in 1996, for the nomination of Bill Clinton.

But walls are racist, Hodad. They're especially racist when they're there to keep "Free Palestine" activists out, no?

If protests are "A-ok" right outside the homes of SC justices, shouldn't protests be allowed right outside the DNC convention?

Thanks for that, apparently my googling missed that somehow.

 

in other developments, Nancy Pelosi has commented on her part of the plot to remove Biden.  She says she’s sorry…

And now Biden knows what it feels like to be stabbed in the back by Pelosi…

I'm sure protesters are welcome outside of the convention grounds. Nobody wants you unhinged crazies to create another J6 situation.
