Not that I know personally what LSD trips are like, mind you. But I’m guessing they look something like what happened after Eva Longoria said “Goodnight” to everyone.

Dammit. Now I’m kinda wishing I’d stayed up for this level of crazy.
But what I’m hearing is that for the most part, Day One of the DNC convention was a total snooze-fest, and that’s not surprising.
Michelle Obama recorded her part a week ago, before Kamala was even announced as running mate, so Kamala wasn’t mentioned, and Michelle basically took a dramatic acting class before she performed this. I swear I thought she was going to squeak out some tears.

Did y’all catch the part where she said Joe gives his personal phone number to kids? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. That might be a little tone deaf, all things considered.
And then there was Bernie:

So yeah. He is saying unequivocally that Joe Biden is adopting his radical policies, so if the mainstream media could go ahead and stop positioning Biden as if he’s a moderate now, that’d be great. The jig is sort of up.
Amy Klobuchar couldn’t have a speech without one of her bang-shakingly hilarious one-liners:

Gretchen Whitmer sounded like she was reading kindergartners a bedtime story:

Anyway, I’m not even gonna get into Kasich or Cuomo’s speeches because they were as you would expect – dull, self-indulgent, and not worth the time.
Did y’all watch?
