If there hadn't been the assassination attempt, it would have been fine. The nominees are always put on display at the end, but they have to leave before the last bit (motorcades, security, etc.)

I just meant where Tommy Thomson was forgetting the names of people and him having to turn to people and get the names and the guy at the mic trying to cut him off. I just know the Colberts, Meyers, et. al. may have some fun with it.

And with that, it's finally over. Again, it was a lot of fun. Great discussions! Cheers everyone. Much love!
Technically, I believe, it means "Let no one sleep." The aria ends with the words ”When the dawn comes, I will win. I will win. I will win." I believe it's Donald Trump's favorite aria. One of mine too. In fact the entire opera is one of my favorites. I have loved Turandot ever since I was a child.Finishing with "Nessun Dorma." I'm dying over here y'all.
ETA: Nessun Dorma translates to "None Shall Sleep."

This post is copied from a Facebook link a Christian friend sent me. It had the photo of Donald Trump standing up after having been shot. I make no correlation with the scripture, but this is thought provoking for me at least.
In the Bible, the concept of blood on the right ear (Leviticus 8:22-24 and 14:28) serves as a visible mark of consecration, signifying that the person is dedicated to God's service and has been set apart for a specific purpose. This act represents a physical and spiritual transformation, preparing the individual for their sacred role. Here's a breakdown of the significance:

This act represents a physical and spiritual transformation, preparing the individual for their sacred role. Here's a breakdown of the significance:
- Right ear: The right ear represents hearing and obedience. In ancient times, the right ear was considered the most important ear, as it was the ear that heard the words of God.
- Blood: Blood represents life, sacrifice, and atonement. In this context, the blood is a symbol of purification and consecration. * Consecration: Consecration means to set something or someone apart for a specific purpose, making it holy and dedicated to God. In this case, the blood on the right ear signifies that the person is being set apart for a sacred task or role.
- Priestly consecration: In Leviticus 8, the blood is applied to the right ear of Aaron and his sons, consecrating them as priests. This act sets them apart as mediators between God and the people.
- Purification: In Leviticus 14, the blood is applied to the right ear of the person being cleansed, symbolizing their purification and restoration to the community.

I had a look at Lev 14 this morning also, this seems like a very loose association. It is a whole purification ritual for defiling skin diseases. The blood goes on the ear lobe. And on and on. Is this not the definition of eisegesis?

I’m late to the game because I didn’t watch his speech until just now. But can we talk about his hair makeover? So much better! No more big swoopy combover in the front.
But I could tell that they negotiate with him about it, because it’s still too long and combed back over the ears

I know his hair is his thing, but I just don't get his thing. I really don't. He should have cleaned that pate up a bit with a light touch of a water-based pomade. I'd have preferred that he wore a light pinstripe charcoal double-breasted suit with pocket square paired with a nice, crisp, white, straight collar dress shirt with regular cuffs. Clean blind-hemmed matching suit pants, and since you have to hit the theme I guess, a rich, silk deep red tie would have gone with that nicely. And unless needed, avoid squared off dress shoes. Blah. Light polish.I’m late to the game because I didn’t watch his speech until just now. But can we talk about his hair makeover? So much better! No more big swoopy combover in the front.

I still like a spit shine (or mirror finish on civilian shoes), with clean edges and soles, for suit-and-tie and other gussied-up situations.
To me, dirty or unpolished shoes are tacky and ruin the effort someone went to to present a good image, and a brush shine, well, someone didn't take the time to do it right. Dotting the i j and crossing the t z and 7
This little guy looks like he could use a good shoe shine, too 
What happened Eric? I faded out when the balloons dropped and the Italian singer finished.

Well, just time against the flesh it would seem. They called Wisconsin Delegate Tommy Thomson to speak on the floor at the end of the show, and you could see the look of concern on people around him. He kept forgetting names and would space out and the main speaker at the time attempted to cut him off. It would be just like Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, and the usual clown car of scallywags to make merry of it. Granted, many have had that same fun with Biden.
Oh no!!!! Oh dear! I see your point!

Yeah, just a cruel ol' world we tread on, huh? Hopefully days of the dust are soon numbered to nil.
