I mean, can he stand or talk for that long? Even if he just rambles and lies? And the Rs better take long naps this afternoon if they are to appear chipper and attentive for that long. Poor US Hockey players having to sit through that. Then again, they asked for it. Should have followed the women's lead.

(18,168 posts)Castro addressed an international conference at El Teatro Karl Marx, in protest of the U.S. Cuba embargo. I had press credentials at the time, writing about the conference for a Miami-based organization. A few of the images I made that evening (ones I am allowed to reproduce):

I might tune in. But the post-game show might be better. There are always loads of clips. Husbands preferences WILL be taken into consideration.
Newsfolks talking about it right now do make me curious about it.

(113,456 posts)at night. It will probably be apparent, but I just ... can't watch. I'll watch some of the Meidas Touch/Indivisible/Move On alternative and see video of the circus later. If I wake up early enough (usually do), I might see some of the MSNOW coverage on rerun.

(52,797 posts)post-speech analysis, but I can't sit through another long speech of his. I'll end up swearing at the TV and maybe even throwing stuff. We've all suffered enough.

(99 posts)I feel for the Epstein survivors. Is it really necessary to make them be there? I hope they can disappear into their phones and not actually try and listen to the idiot.

Tasmanian Devil
(99 posts)I know nobody is forcing them to attend. It just seems like such a horrible thing to endure.
But maybe that's my bias. My blood pressure won't allow me to hear more than 1 second of his voice before muting him or leaving the room.

Actually, the weave doesn't exist except as a name for his so alled hairstyle.
And you are absolutely right. Except that I taught fourth graders whose first language was not English and they could speak better than him and with more honesty.
PatSeg
(52,797 posts)Oh, I had forgotten the "weave". He always tries to justify his peculiar behavior as if somehow it was intentional. Or he blames the microphones or the lighting. He is incapable of taking responsibility for anything.
I have eleven year old twin grandsons and they definitely have a better vocabulary than him. Of course, they are avid readers, plus they're decent, honest people.
