The final night of the Democratic National Convention. Biden will take the mantle as the leader of the Democratic Party. |
The two will now have a challenge ahead. They will have to fight hard to beat Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence. The two are confident and willing to do everything in their power to win. The far-right and leftists are already trying to deflate momentum.
Whisper campaigns against Biden and Harris haven't really scored much with voters. However, loyalty and enthusiasm are the biggest strengths Trump and Pence have. The far-right will concede that the coronavirus could defeat Trump. But if they could keep the focus on Biden's gaffes and Harris' record as a California prosecutor and Attorney General, they could peel votes.
Joe Biden so far has 91% of the Black vote.
Donald Trump has 8% of the Black vote.
Other candidates like Howie Hawkins of the Green Party and Kanye West both have 1% of the vote.
Leftists like Nina Turner, Cornel West, Ryan Knight, Jimmy Dore, Briahna Joy Gray and Glenn Greenwald are trying to create a new party for progressives. It's not really blowing up like they've wanted.
Kamala Harris makes an opportunity to introduce herself to the world. |
Barack Obama had criticized Trump for being ill-equipped for the job as president.
He rebuked Trump in stunningly explicit terms for a member of the presidents club -- a fraternity the current commander in chief disdains.
"I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies. I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care," Obama said.
"But he never did. For close to four years now, he's shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.
"Donald Trump hasn't grown into the job because he can't."
It was a picture of Trump's presidency that is familiar from scores of tell-all books, insider and media accounts and the evidence of a publicity-hungry President who awards himself top marks even in a pandemic that has killed more than 170,000 Americans that he ignored, mismanaged and misrepresented.
Obama's remarks did not come in a vacuum. Only hours earlier, Trump had all but endorsed the cult-like and nonsensical conspiracy theory Q'Anon from the White House podium. The President is spreading false claims about massive fraud in postal voting. He sought to coerce a foreign power into destroying the candidacy of Democratic nominee Joe Biden, for which he was impeached.
Obama warns Americans that if we reelect Trump then he could tear apart democracy. |
He even said that he deserves another term if he win his reelection. That should give you signs that Trump is not willing to leave the White House if he loses or finishes his second term.
Trump blasted Obama's speech.

WHY DID HE REFUSE TO ENDORSE SLOW JOE UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER, AND EVEN THEN WAS VERY LATE? WHY DID HE TRY TO GET HIM NOT TO RUN?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 20, 2020
Harris becomes the first woman of color to be on a national presidential ticket. The California senator has broke barriers with women. On Wednesday, Harris discussed her mother being one of the heroes.
She introduced herself as the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants who would strive to restore the principles of inclusivity after four years of divisiveness under Trump, citing the example of her mother who she said taught her daughters to "be conscious and compassionate about the struggles of all people" and to believe that "the fight for justice is a shared responsibility." Harris noted that was why she became a prosecutor who tried to reform the criminal justice system from within.
Harris said she and former Vice President Joe Biden share "a vision of our nation as a beloved community -- where all are welcome, no matter what we look like, where we come from, or who we love."
Though Americans may not "agree on every detail," they are "united by the fundamental belief that every human being is of infinite worth, deserving of compassion, dignity and respect," she said.
Elizabeth Warren did a subliminal message in her background. BLM, coded for Black Lives Matter in the building blocks behind her. |
Invoking Floyd's memory, Harris asked Americans to join her in combating racism and xenophobia.
"There is no vaccine for racism. We've got to do the work," Harris said. "For George Floyd. For Breonna Taylor. For the lives of too many others to name -- for our children, for all of us."
"We've got to do the work to fulfill that promise of equal justice under law. Because, none of us are free until all of us are free," she said.
Three generations of women — Harris' sister Maya Harris, her niece Meena Harris and her stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff -- delivered the speech virtually officially nominating the California senator as the Democratic nominee for vice president of the United States.
"So I think we need to ask ourselves, why don't they want us to vote? Why is there so much effort to silence our voices? And the answer is because when we vote, things change. When we vote, things get better. When we vote, we address the need for all people to be treated with dignity and respect."
In regards to Harris mentioning predator, Trump reacted to it.

Democrats have become so extreme that standing for the Pledge of Allegiance and National Anthem is part of “our terrible, ugly, and hurtful” history. pic.twitter.com/cUyWWicSvH— Trump War Room - Text TRUMP to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) August 20, 2020
Sarah is correct. McCain was a lousy candidate with lots of bad policy, but the “deadheads” sabotaged his campaign from the inside, and never gave him a chance to win. Hope they were happy with OBiden, who gave you me! https://t.co/rynLuGRKHA— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 20, 2020
BUT DIDN’T SHE CALL HIM A RACIST??? DIDN’T SHE SAY HE WAS INCOMPETENT???— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 20, 2020
The night also included speeches from 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the family of George Floyd, former Trump supporters and performances from Billie Eilish and Jennifer Hudson.
Tonight, Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee. He will make a plea for Democratic unity.
He will share stories about losing his first wife, daughter and recently son to tragedies. He will praise Obama and Harris for their courageous actions. He will talk about policies and possibly incorporate policies sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). He will talk about his previous friendship with Mike Pence and Republicans.
He might lay into Trump over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and civil unrest.

He will need to address as much as he can. Cause leftist and conservative agitators are willing to pick apart every word. Knowing that Biden stutters and sometimes has trouble pronouncing words, he's likely going to be mocked for his cadence and health.
Stuff we need to squash now. We need to fight against the far-right and leftists attacks on him and Kamala Harris.
They tried with Hunter Biden.
They tried with cognitive decline.
They tried with Obamagate.
They tried with Tara Reade.
They tried with "You Ain't Black."
They tried with "hiding in the basement."
They tried with "Sleepy Joe."
None of this is working. The only thing going against Joe Biden is the motivation for people to vote.
With Trump trying to dismantle the United States Postal Service, many are seeing he's willing to stop mail-in ballot voting.
Since voting in-person and early voting could spark more coronavirus infections, Trump sees mail-in ballots as destructive to his campaign.
The latest bombshells from Trump included the bipartisan report stating clearly that Trump had knowledge that Roger Stone met with Wikileaks and Julian Assange. Paul Manafort had contacts with people who had ties to the Russian Intelligence agencies. Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen is releasing a book detailing the infamous "Golden Showers" and his obsession to get Trump Tower in Moscow. He will admit that Trump wanted to sleep with hot Russian women. The Russian government allegedly had sent women to honeytrap powerful men into blackmail.
Steve Bannon and Brian Rolfage are under federal watch. They were criminal charged with extortion and fraud. They were criminally charged with stealing donations from people who supported building a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. The two have spent millions on yachts, clothes, cosmetic surgery and selfish interest. There are two other individuals indicted as well.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Trump had attacked Goodyear Tire company on the allegations they banned Make America Great Again and Blue Lives Matter attire. Some troll posted an allegation claiming that they were excluded from wearing pro-Trump propaganda. Trump had called for a boycott of the tire company despite him complaining about "cancel culture."
A Russian opposition critic was poisoned after he drank a tea. Federation president Vladimir Putin had trolled the man and said he hopes for a speedy recovery. The United Nations believe Russia has been active in punishing traitors and critics with brutal tactics like poisoning and clandestine bombings.
The U.S. confirms that Russia, China and Iran are willing to meddle in the elections. Russia has been very active in spreading misinformation. Facebook had deleted numerous Blacks for Trump and anti-Biden pages. They are eliminating the Q'Anon nonsense as well.

Did you know that Joe Biden won his U.S. Senate seat in the same year he and Barack Obama won the presidency? Biden took on Christine O'Donnell, a far-right troll. He remained in the Senate until January 15, 2009. He was sworn in by former vice president Dick Cheney and remained the senator for 13 days.
It's Joe Time. |
All I can tell you in real time, that 6.8 million people are infect with the coronavirus. Over 200,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. There are over 35 million Americans unemployed in the United States. Companies are going out of business left and right. We have civil unrest in many of America's municipalities. We are less than three months away from the U.S. Elections and we're not prepared for the possibility of election tampering from foreign entities. We are not prepared for mail-in ballots or absentee ballots. We are having a food crisis due to the coronavirus.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Over 103 people have died a day because of gun violence.
We are really having a moment where the world is on fire and Donald J. Trump is just playing golf or rambling about how everyone who doesn't support his ass is anti-American.
The Democratic National Convention is on tonight.
