2020 presidential election
Obama Just Saying If You Don't Get Your Sh*t Together And Vote, America Is Over
Not very subtle, sir!
August 20, 2020 09:22 AM
"If anyone had a right to believe that this democracy did not work, and could not work, it was THOSE Americans." — Barack Obama, angrily
One of the themes of this week's Democratic National Convention — which has just been really good, we bet RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel is wishing the GOP had, like, planned one — has been that Donald Trump is fundamentally incapable of meeting the moment. Any moment. The presidency, the current challenges we face, stairs, ramps. Trump has never met any moments.
Meanwhile, the Democrats' addresses to the convention have met the moment. On Monday night, Michelle Obama pulled the fuckin' fire alarm, in a way we're not used to seeing her do. Last night, her husband former President Barack Obama did the same, in a way he doesn't do. And he was just saying that if you don't get over your shit and vote, America is over. (Which is a bit of an escalation from "DON'T BOO, VOTE," we think.)
He kept saying it. "That's what's at stake right now. Our democracy." Your cynicism about voting? Trump and his Republicans, who are no longer an American party, are counting on it. "That's how a democracy withers, until it's no democracy at all."

</p><p>He continued:<br></p><blockquote>We can't let that happen. Do not let them take away your power. Don't let them take away your democracy.</blockquote><p>There were times in the speech, which President Obama delivered from Philadelphia, the birthplace of our democracy, when he appeared to get righteously angry, but would then temper his delivery, as he talked about how many people have come before, how they suffered, what THEY did when America treated them like shit. It was almost as if to ask, "And you're not going to vote, because of whatever surely very important snowflake reasons you have? Fuck off." (That is not a quote. It was the look on his face.)</p><p>Obama told the story of recently departed Congressman John Lewis and other civil rights heroes coming to the Oval Office, when one of them said he never imagined he'd see a man sitting at that desk who looked like his grandson. That person, on the day Barack Obama was born, was hauled into jail while fighting for justice in the Jim Crow South. Obama was working up to the line at the top of this piece:</p><blockquote>What we do echoes through the generations.<br><br>Whatever our backgrounds, we're all the children of Americans who fought the good fight. Great grandparents working in firetraps and sweatshops without rights or representation. Farmers losing their dreams to dust. Irish and Italians and Asians and Latinos told to go back where they came from. Jews and Catholics, Muslims and Sikhs, made to feel suspect for the way they worshipped. Black Americans chained and whipped and hanged. Spit on for trying to sit at lunch counters. Beaten for trying to vote.<br><br><strong>If anyone had a right to believe that this democracy did not work, and could not work, it was those Americans.</strong></blockquote><p>But they didn't. They did the work. And <em>you're</em> not going to, you ungrateful POS?</p><p><span></span>Obama went <em>hard </em>after Donald Trump. He said "at a minimum, we should expect a president to feel a sense of responsibility for the safety and welfare of all 330 million of us." But Trump doesn't. "We should expect a president to be the custodian of this democracy." But Trump doesn't, instead viewing it as a plaything for keeping his power. </p><p>He slammed Trump's stupidity, his irresponsibility, his vanity, his pissing on democracy to enrich and protect himself and his friends. And again, the recurring theme of the week, which is that it's not that Trump <em>doesn't</em> do what he needs to do, but that he <em>can't</em>.</p><blockquote>I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president. 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 <em>some interest </em>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.<br><br><strong>But he never did. For close to four years now, he's shown no interest in putting in the work; </strong><strong>no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; </strong><strong>no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.</strong><br><br><strong>Donald Trump hasn't grown into the job because he can't.</strong> And the consequences of that failure are severe. 170,000 Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone while those at the top take in more than ever.</blockquote><p>Even when Barack Obama was talking about Joe Biden, he was dunking on Trump's failures. Biden and Kamala Harris will "get this pandemic under control, like Joe did when he helped me manage H1N1 and prevent an Ebola outbreak from reaching our shores." Biden and Harris will "rescue the economy, like Joe helped me do after the Great Recession." (Here we are again! Democrats cleaning up Republicans' fuckups!) "I asked him to manage the Recovery Act, which jumpstarted the longest stretch of job growth in history." (The one Trump inherited, and then squandered, like everything else he's ever been handed on a silver platter.)</p><p>And Obama called Trump the fundamentally <em>un-American</em> president he is, saying Biden and Harris will make America "a nation that stands with democracy, not dictators" again, because they actually fucking believe in democracy, just as Trump and the GOP <em>do not</em>.</p><blockquote>They believe that in a democracy, the right to vote is sacred, and we should be making it easier for people to cast their ballot, not harder.<br><br>They believe that no one — including the president — is above the law, and that no public official — including the president — should use their office to enrich themselves or their supporters.<br><br><strong>They understand that in this democracy, the Commander-in-Chief doesn't use the men and women of our military, who are willing to risk everything to protect our nation, as political props to deploy against peaceful protesters on our own soil. They understand that political opponents aren't "un-American" just because they disagree with you; that a free press isn't the "enemy" but the way we hold officials accountable; that our ability to work together to solve big problems like a pandemic depends on a fidelity to facts and science and logic and</strong> <strong>not just making stuff up.</strong><br><br><strong>None of this should be controversial. These shouldn't be Republican principles or Democratic principles. They're American principles. But at this moment, this president and those who enable him, have shown they don't believe in these things.</strong></blockquote><p><span></span> They don't believe in it. They don't believe in America. </p><p>President Obama ended his address by saying that we can save this country, and the work will be long, but emphasized that if we even want one <em>iota</em> of a chance to do that, we have to do it NOW. "Any chance of success depends entirely on the outcome of this election. This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that's what it takes to win." </p><p>Like we said, the former president was different last night. He met the moment, like he always does, and like Donald Trump cannot ever do. </p><p>Trump ALL-CAPS POOP-TWEETED HIS WAY THROUGH OBAMA'S SPEECH, but that's not worth your time, because fuck Trump, the end.</p><p>[<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/19/politics/barack-obama-speech-transcript/index.html" target="_blank">transcript</a>]</p><p><strong><span></span>Follow Evan Hurst on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/evanhurst" target="_blank">RIGHT HERE, DO IT RIGHT HERE!</a></strong></p><p><strong>Wonkette is fully funded by readers like YOU.

KAMALA NIGHT! OBAMA NIGHT! DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION WATCH PARTY, NIGHT THREE!
You're not gonna want to change the channel for this one.
August 19, 2020 08:29 PM
What was your favorite part of night two of the Democratic National Convention? Ours was when a buncha cats dressed up like the Antifas and made Joe Biden swear an oath to always do whatever Antifa says, and also to obey cats. It was pretty cool.
OK fine actually one of our favorite parts was when former acting attorney general Sally Yates busted Trump's ass for how he "fawns over" Vladimir Putin. Wanna watch it again?
Sally Yates speaks at 2020 DNC www.youtube.com
We also, of course, loved the roll call, which should ALWAYS from now on be done on Zoom and aired during the primetime parts of the convention. It was so personal and fun, and was just a really nice message to America that said "Hey! America! Isn't every single Democrat so much cuter and more fun and smarter and way better in bed than stinky Trump deplorables? Ewwwwwwww gross hate them!"
Wanna watch it again?
2020 Democratic National Convention Roll Call Vote www.youtube.com
Now it is night three! Which means it is KAMALA NIGHT!
That's right, tonight Senator and VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE Kamala Harris will be the headliner. Or one of 'em anyway.
<p>The theme of the evening is "A More Perfect Union," and this is what that is all about, according to the DNC:</p><blockquote>America is not going back to where it was before Donald Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic and subsequent economic crisis, because for too many people, that wasn't good enough. As he leads us out of crisis, Joe Biden will help build back better. He will have a historic partner in these efforts: the first female vice-president. On Wednesday, you will hear from the vice-presidential nominee and many others who are committed to working alongside Joe Biden to achieve his goals to form a more perfect union.</blockquote><p>'Kay, sounds good.</p><p>TBH tonight is really one of the big nights you want to watch. In the first hour, we will be talked to by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and oh yeah, HEY THERE, HILLARY CLINTON. </p><p>In the second hour, it will be the aforementioned Kamala Harris, and also HEY THERE, BARACK OBAMA.</p><p>In case you get bored here is what is on HGTV just kidding YOU ARE NOT GETTING BORED BECAUSE TONIGHT IS KAMALA NIGHT.</p><p>Here is your livestream for your watch party! Drink every time somebody on the Zoom TV screen is a Democrat! (Do not do that.)</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">

Kamala Harris Is Your New Vice President, Now Let's Go Win This Motherf*cker
Called it ages ago.
August 11, 2020 04:52 PM
KAMALA HARRIS! All right, kids, let's do this!
Old Handsome Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris to be the next vice president of the United States. Which ... Ann Coulter, you were SO CLOSE.
NEW VP PREDICTION! Cory Booker announces he's transitioning to female. Biden chooses Corina Booker as his VP.— Ann Coulter (@Ann Coulter)1597174353.0
Wow, Republicans are getting better at comedy, and the left is worried.
Anyway, Wonkette would like to be the first to say congratulations to the first woman vice president of the United States, who will also be the first Black vice president, first Black woman vice president, first Indian-American vice president, first Asian-American vice president, and just a whole lot of other firsts.
<p>She will also be the first vice president in history who can do this:</p><video width="100%" controls="">

(Slogan: Be there! On your couch! To watch it!) Senator Harris was listed as a Thursday speaker, whereas "VP" was listed for a Wednesday slot.

Here Is Your Thread For Watching Barack Obama Eulogize American Hero John Lewis
Good trouble.
July 30, 2020 11:46 AM
The memorial service for congressman and American hero John Lewis began at 11 a.m. in Atlanta. Three living presidents will speak: George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, who will perform the eulogy. Speaker Nancy Pelosi will also deliver remarks.
As we publish this, Dubya has just finished speaking. Then it'll be Clinton, Pelosi and, in a little while, Barack Obama.
Donald Trump is nowhere to be found, because fuck him. Oh yeah, he's threatening to delay the election.
What was that John Lewis always said about Good Trouble?
Watch with us. Oh yeah, and read the op-ed Lewis wrote in the New York Times, which he asked to be printed on the day of his funeral.
