Back in 2004, the Democratic National Convention was overshadowed by Homeland Security announcing a Code Orange terror alert. While the alert was based on real intelligence, it was not based on timely intelligence. Homeland Security timed the announcement to preempt coverage of the Democratic convention. John Kerry received a smaller-than-usual convention bounce in the polls as a result. This wasn’t technically “fake news” or disinformation; it was media manipulation. And it worked. The Orange Alert was headline news, the Democratic convention received less coverage

I don't really remember it like this at all, convention went on like normal with the speeches at night. Plus you had Kerry coming in on a boat, etc. Does anyone else remember it being pretty normal? Mandark help me out?

The RNC coverage I remember as different because it was in NYC itself.

edit: clicked the link the guy provided:

On August 1, 2004, just days after the Democratic National Convention nominated presidential candidate John Kerry on a national security platform, the Bush Administration raised its terror threat level to “Code Orange,”

The 2004 Democratic National Convention convened from July 26 to 29, 2004

I remember David Brooks praising Kerry's muscular centrism

Brehs how did we end up with this fucking donkey as our leader

Remember Trump is a "germaphobe" who hates opening doors, stairs and giving hands(unless he pulls people closer to him) but bangs porn stars

So this was what the US sending troops to the Canadian Border thing was about a few weeks ago.

Exclusive: Inside Trump’s Failed Plan to Surveil the Canadian Border
A leaked memo shows Customs and Border Protection requested millions of dollars to monitor the movements of Canadian citizens.

“It seems like a strange use of resources at this moment in time,” Saideman said. “There is no threat of Canadians fleeing to the US given that national health care in Canada becomes a far greater magnet during a pandemic; Canada is not only a week or two behind the US in terms of the progress of the pandemic, but is also flattening the curve better; [and] there has not been much threat of illegal migration in this direction historically.”

Carvin described the mood in Canada when the plan was first reported as “first shock and then laughter.”

The US is a disaster.

Canadians are always a threat.

I love quotes like this and the "ventilators are more complicated than cars" thing because it proves that none of this is real. i am not real.

Considering Elon Musk and Tesla's failures, I'm kind of inclined to believe ventilators ARE more complicated than cars!

I mean, they're literally designing and building a ventilator.

Hope it turns out better than the one off cave tube thing though.

We were told it'd be impossible to stop factories and restart them for green products and energy.

We're seeing the clearest skies across the globe, the cleanest air.

They told us the coal plants would be impossible to restart if we stop them. So let's start green ones instead. What's that, they can suddenly restart coal plants and fossil plants quickly?

yeah, that's what I thought. See you in six months.

aren’t they merely building someone’s else’s design though? There’s not enough time to get fda approval for a new design.

The ventilators are actually just the cave tube repurposed.  They are just developing The-Magic-School-Bus technology to finally make it useful.

This is such bullshit. He would’ve dragged it out as long as he possibly could no matter who was the clear front-runner. Warren and her nine delegates wouldn’t have done shit for him and certainly wouldn’t have tipped people towards him in the numbers he would’ve needed to beat me.

He spent more money and lost. He had more rallies and lost. He had an entire previous campaign of data to build off of and lost. Him and his staff can point the fingers at everyone else all they want. He had the momentum from the day after Hilary lost and he didn’t do enough to shore up support with those that aren’t lock step with him all the way. That’s why he lost. Again.

It’s honestly pretty embarrassing for him and his team that an (expected) endorsement from Obama got me more sway with voters than Bernie could muster with all his rallies, fundraising, and groundwork he has laid for the last four plus years.

There are no trophies for those who were morally right and couldn’t get it done. You get to be a footnote in a history book. The individual that comes after you, who is able to actually get it done, gets all the glory.

I look forward to eating Fig Newtons in the Oval Office again next year.

Watching for a second time I’m realizing I don’t understand why the ambitious, resentment-fueled guy who went to Harvard couldn’t come up with anything more lucrative than media pundit as his backup plan, "Political strategist" is one of the best paying job on the East Coast.
