Beyonce is apparently the newsie appearance. 

I don't know anything about her, just know the name. I just listened to a couple of her songs to see if they sounded familiar.  I'm not a fan of what I heard, but if she can help beat Trump, I'm a fan!

She was outstanding in Cadillac Records.

Playing Etta James.

As was Adrien Brody opposite her as the founder of landmark Chess Records in Chicago ("Cadillac" because he always "sold" Cadillac's to his signed performers in lieu of royalties whenever he could)...

I don't know them either! What position do they play?

I do lead a sheltered life. It's all family, work and outdoor activities...and baseball.

Beyoncé better be good because I think so far it has been kind of a dud tonight.

I doubt she makes a difference, but 2024 is very different from 2016.  Trump was a relative unknown in 2016.  He is now the most hated person in America and I think any functional human being can beat him.  There isn't going to be any land slide, but If the voter turnout is good again, Trump is done.

I almost think that is by design. Don't want to upstage Harris speech. 

[Motown Bombers]

Has Gavin Newsom spoken? He did on the roll call, but it would seem odd given that he is a great speaker and from Harris home state.

Idgaf what anyone says that Pink song is really something. 

[chasfh]

Fox News not even showing Adam Kinzinger. 

[pfife]

Magalolics Twitter follows and reposts here are a toilet that needs flushing. 

[ewsieg]

I want to live in a world where Kinzinger isn't welcome to the DNC and cheered at the RNC.  Maya Harris was solid, now let's have Taylor Swift and Beyonce walk out hand in hand and introduce Kamala.

Beyoncé won’t be there.  I guess the surprise thing was bogus 

[smr-nj]

Why was looking for Beyoncé or Swift even a thing?  I’m glad I wasn’t.  
 

Last night & Tuesday were inspiring. Saw some each night, flicking between this and baseball games.

Tonight was for sure more subdued, but very thought provoking.  
 

Haven’t people had enough entertainment? If not, go ahead and turn on Netflix. 
 

That’s not what I needed.

Tonight is about Kamala + her message.    It needed to be more subdued and more serious.  

[chasfh]

I wouldn’t doubt that it was a story planted to disappoint people and take the shine off Kamala.

[ewsieg]

It's not over yet, Bush, Kinzinger, both Cheney's, John Kelly, Pence, Bolton, Esper and more will come out and waive after being referred to by Kamala.

Seriously though, even PBS reporters on the side of the stage made it sound like she knew but was not stating it for ethical reasons.  Makes me wonder if it was just to get ratings and make people see a sane person speak.

I have a feeling Biden is there and will greet her on stage when she is done with her speech.

You'd think it would be tough to get Biden there without the media knowing, but.... if there is still a surprise, you'd have some good odds with this one.
