“The current president has cloaked American darkness for much too long. Too much anger. Too much fear, too much division...."
And all of a sudden it was made clear that in the 2020 Biden Campaign --- when it comes to presenting the candidate himself, less is more --- Biden gave the shortest acceptance speech at a Democrat Convention since Mondale's in '84
Biden went back and took a page out of Obama's old songbook --- the 2004 keynote speech --- and mixed it in with the '60s song "Age of Aquarius" from "Hair" --- but also introduced a new "I Claudius" escape hatch >>> about the stuttering <<< with the young boy's clip aired shortly before Biden's speech
Echoing a theme first rolled out by Seattle's Democrat Mayor Jenny Durkan --- Biden's acceptance speech and its related parking lot event evoked all of the "summer of love" & "block party atmosphere" that Durkan talked about when discussing "CHAZ" and "CHOP" during her interview by Chris Cuomo at the beginning of the summer
And just remember, Biden did say this quite clearly and without a stutter as part of his big finish: "There’s never been anything we’ve been able to accomplish when we’ve done it together”
If you listened to MSNBC, CNN or even Fox News --- this speech was something akin to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address..... Even though it was rather short and still contained some blooper reel material.
In addition to his quite awkward opening, near the end, and as part of his big finish, Biden said this: ".... ““There’s never been anything we’ve been able to accomplish when we’ve done it together,”....” Yogi Berra would have been so proud.
Also briefly, he called our country "United America" (although to be fair he corrected that to "a United America").....
Nonetheless, all in all, it was pretty good show for our prospective Claudian Emperor, Joe Biden.

critical posting about a democrat?
Is this what you do when not helping Justin & Andy?
Gale was concerned about the sale of the angel guardian home until Justin and andy were paid off. No one ever said this blog was independent of democrats.
So funny an attack on democrats. Funny Gale.
But Rose is with Biden. Who gave you the green light to attack Biden?
The bar is so low that Biden giving a somewhat coherent speech has sealed his fate as the next POTUS
RESPONSE: THE "MORE FAKE NEWS FROM THE PRO-VITO BRUNO CROWD" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:09 PM"
I DIDN'T REALLY CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT WHAT THE DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO DO WITH THE ANGEL GUARDIAN SITE --- I ONLY CARED THAT BROOKLYN'S CATHOLIC BISHOP NICKY MARS WAS TRYING TO EXTORT HALF THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE NUNS THAT OWNED IT OUTRIGHT AND COULD SELL TO WHOMEVER THEY WANTED
You know that Vito Bruno is in trouble, because he has an undisciplined bunch of acolytes that brought me into this Angel Guardian fight after somebody else on Vito's side had organized a pretty good boycott of this blog. (Somebody needs to take an extra turn in the barrel over that, maybe even extra bung-hole duty to make sure they don't forget.)
When Andy and Justin get caught recently taking money from a real estate developer to sell out our neighborhood Gale says "I didnt really care".
But fake news new york times alleges Vito gave a christmas gift to police officers 40 years ago and Gale is up all night yelling at the moon.
The Biden-Harris minimum exposure team's time for the acceptance speeches by Biden and Harris combined were shorter than the average time of the previous acceptance speeches by the Democratic Presidential nominees alone.

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "AS I WAS SAYING ABOVE ABOUT JOE "THE STUTTERER" BIDEN EDITION
THE NIGHT THAT BIDEN NEEDED A BAILOUT FROM BRAYDON.....
WHAT'LL JOE B'S NEXT FESS-UP BE, "BED WETTING" ???
Here's how the AP dealt with the story: "Even in a week filled with emotional endorsements of Joe Biden, Brayden Harrington’s stands out.... The 13-year-old boy sat in his home, speaking to a cellphone camera and reading, carefully, from a piece of paper. He looked up and told the world how the former vice president, by speaking about his own experience, had helped him overcome a difficult challenge.... 'We stutter,' Brayden said in a video that aired Thursday, shortly before Biden accepted his party’s presidential nomination on Thursday’s final night of the Democratic National Convention. The Concord, New Hampshire, teen got stuck briefly on the 's' sound and bravely worked his way through the word. His face showed strain but also determination to force out the sound.... [ ] Biden has talked about his stutter often on the presidential campaign trail and how it sometimes returns on certain words, especially if he’s tired.... After he talked about it during a Democratic primary debate in December — and even started to make the sounds of a stutter — then-White House press secretary Sarah Sanders ridiculed Biden on Twitter. The tweet was later deleted and Sanders apologized. Biden said afterward that he had no regrets “because I know what it’s like to be humiliated....” (See "In moving speech, boy says Biden helped him overcome stutter" by Will Weissert, 8/21/2020, AP/ News [https://apnews.com/30951d24b0dab8b9ced01704d8ee9f2c]).
This isn't the end of this story.....
MORE BACKFILL: THE "EARLIER JOE BIDEN MORE LESS SAID, 'GIVE ME A BREAK, I DON'T STUTTER, MACK' " EDITION
IN DECEMBER 2019, WHEN HIS CAMPAIGN WAS CIRCLING THE DRAIN, JOE BIDEN DID AN INTERVIEW WITH AXIOS, WHEREIN HE DENIED THAT HIS VERBAL MISCUES WERE THE RESULT OF HIS LONG-TIME STUTTERING PROBLEM.....
THE TWO ARTICLES CITED IN THIS COMMENT SHOW JUST HOW BAD JOE BIDEN'S GAFFS AND VERBAL MISCUSE HAVE BEEN --- INCLUDING ONE MOMENT WHEN HE COULDN'T SAY THE NAME "OBAMA" WHEN TRYING TO REFER TO THE MAN WHO WAS PRESIDENT WHEN BIDEN WAS VICE PRESIDENT
Here's some of what the Axios article had to say about it: "Former Vice President Joe Biden told 'Axios on HBO' that stuttering isn't to blame for a string of verbal mistakes in the 2020 campaign.... Why it matters: A reporter for The Atlantic who stutters wrote recently that he studied Biden’s verbal miscues and concluded that lifelong stuttering struggles were to blame.... The piece suggested that Biden's boyhood stutter, which he has talked about throughout his political career, is still with him. But in the 'Axios on HBO' interview, Biden said that's not how he sees it.... 'I don't think of myself as continuing to stutter. ... That doesn't cross my mind that I'm stuttering,' Biden said. 'Look, the mistakes I make are mistakes. And some people think I still stutter. I don't think of myself that way.'... Sometimes, Biden said, 'I'll find myself searching for a second' to find the words — but 'I've always attributed that to being tired and not to the stutter.'... Biden has had a number of verbal stumbles during the campaign. He referred to the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, as taking place in Houston and Michigan, and he said he met with the Parkland high school students as vice president when that mass shooting happened after he left office.... But Biden dismissed those as a meaningless media obsession. He said his age isn't to blame, claiming he’s operating at '110%' of the mental skills he had when he was vice president — 'better than I was.... (Voters) don't think I lost a step. There's no evidence to suggest that. You guys love it. You guys love it. But I haven't seen any evidence of that.'..." (See "Biden: Stuttering not to blame for verbal screwups" by Axios Staff. 12/8/19, Axios/ Axios.com [https://www.axios.com/joe-biden-stuttering-verbal-stumbles-b9238c3c-d1cc-400a-ab11-bf0f971c38d9.html]; the Vanity Fair article referred to in Joe Biden's Axios interview is as follows: "What Joe Biden Can’t Bring Himself to Say --- His verbal stumbles have voters worried about his mental fitness. Maybe they’d be more understanding if they knew he’s still fighting a stutter" by John Hendrickson, January-February 2020 Edition, The Atlantic/ Politics [https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/01/joe-biden-stutter-profile/602401/]).
i just saw 4 yellow school buses double parked in front of the best western hotel on 83rd street and 4th ave with homeless men being checked in. thankyou justin.
Those weren't homeless men. They were just getting home from the DNC Convention
Why did the DNC profile Breyden Harrington. After all according to the logic of its members Breyden is still a major beneficiary of White Privilege. Why should any consideration be given to a young white male?
