Shattuck: Spectacle of party strife

PHILADELPHIA — For a convention that was supposed to be a clinic on professionalism and party unity, the DNC is a spectacle of rowdy disharmony.

Just seconds into the Florida delegation’s breakfast, angry delegates mauled outgoing DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz with shouts and taunts. She lectured sternly, “Everybody settle down please” — but that only made them angrier.

She tried invoking everything from the mass shooting in Florida to her own past health struggles, but nothing was enough to stamp out the shouts of “Shame on you!”

The course of action they took was to suggest Vladimir Putin was hacking the DNC to hand the election to his pal, Donald Trump.

Guest after Democratic guest on Herald Radio was dutiful in their efforts to foist the 10,000-pound block of spin on listeners, but the will was not there to go beyond the vague talking points.

The orders have gone out from media central, (the DNC). It will be all happy talk, diminishing of the “few” malcontents, and worship of Michelle, (I live in a house built by slaves), Obama.

LIVs won’t have any idea that there is anything but unity behind their virtuous champion, Hillary.

Democrats have long thought they could pander to anyone (except a right-winger because they are mad). It turns out “you can’t” because reasons, purpose and petty quibblings differ widely among victim and hate groups in the Democrat party.

I look at this convention as a confluence of karma coming back to bite these lying politicians in the ass. They forgot the prime directive: trickery, bribery, skullduggery, dissembling, scheming, lying, collusion and plotting should be reserved for conservatives - not against your own.

Ha Ha......a delicious calamity - their tears and discontent taste good!

The orders may have been transmitted and received, but none of that can hide the look of dismay on the pressholes’s faces. They can see and hear with their own senses what’s really goin’ down, and they are scared.

May they end up scarred.

It is a very strong wish of mine that the presstitutes end up deeply, horribly scarred.

The Democrat Party is a party of angry pickpockets.

Eventually, they try to swipe money from their own.

It’s their profession.

It’s what they do.

Yup, contrast that to the scowls on all faces when they were reporting the GOP convention. I hate the media.

That’s a pretty good analogy.

The only way I can describe Warren and Sander’s speeches last night was...well...Dark.
