The Funniest Democratic National Convention Tweets, Night Four
Screen cap from YouTubeWe made it! Thank God. Here’s the last of these things for another four years. Or—damn. There’s an entire another party, isn’t there? I guess keep an eye out for more of these next week, or the week after, whenever the Republican National Convention is. Hell. Does England have to put up with like 12 of these things, or however many parties they actually have?
Biden’s speech tonight was great. It was infinitely more powerful and moving than anything Donald Trump has ever said in his entire life. I won’t even try to make one of the typical hackneyed attempts at Morning Zoo-style humor you’d typically see in these torturous tweet gallery intros. Dude knocked it out of the park at the exact right moment—like David Justice in Game 6 of the 1995 World Series. It’s impossible to see how anybody who isn’t already hopelessly devoted to Trump or the GOP could have watched that speech and thought “nah, the other dude is better.” Unthinkable. But so much has been unthinkable in this country for so long that no outcome of this election would shock me.
So you know the drill: the Democrats have a convention. People tweet jokes about it. We grab the funniest or best or, uh, most viral-seeming ones and toss ‘em up on the old home page. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship we’ve got going on here. Thanks for keeping it running.
Read the tweets, follow the tweeters, and good luck with whatever sort of business you’re dealing with in your daily life these days.
For a second I thought, “Hm, why is Julia Louis-Dreyfus speaking at the DNC?” and then I remembered no human is better at conveying frustration and rage boiling over into delirium.

The easiest way the the Democratic Party could win back any goodwill at this point would be to open tonight’s DNC with, “You know what, we’re gonna call it here, have a good night everyone.” and throw on a re-run of Cheers.

Letting my wife pick something out from the App Store. It’s called being a provider and Joe Biden will make it illegal

DNC: Coronavirus, the economy, climate change, racism
RNC: cancel culture, QAnon, windmills killing birds, shower heads that aren’t powerful enough

AOC got 90 seconds & Bloomberg got what felt like a million minutes. The Democrats still got it! #DNC

BIDEN FOREIGN POLICY:
Any and all foreign countries get 3 warnings:
1st: “Cut the crap, kid”2nd: “Listen up, ace: I need you to cool your jets.”

Yeah, this Biden speech is good and all, but what’s his stance on gassing Americans for a cheap photo op?

I’m so relieved Biden got thru his entire speech without attacking a Gold Star Family.

Don Jr can tell the heartwarming story of when his dad decked him for not wearing a suit to a baseball game.

I had my prom in the same building Biden just spoke in. Both of us were nobodies’s first choice but ultimately better than the alternative (not getting our dicks grinded on to get low)

okay now I see why they question Biden’s mental health, it must sound bonkers when someone speaks in complete sentences about things other than himself

Probably the thing I identify with Trump most on is talking up how boring and lame the Democratic Convention will be, then live-tweeting it

Well, at least the entire Trump campaign hasn’t been premised on the idea that Joe Biden can’t give a speech.

Quick pivot from “this geezer can’t string two sentences together” to “TRUST NOT HIS HONEYED WORDS, SWEET AS THEY MAY SEEM!” https://t.co/sKfKlbH2Pv

Uh oh someone in Trump’s campaign staff is gonna have to learn how to write in the next 3 days.

Maybe 30 days to talking about having the Secret Service arrest Biden before the election. https://t.co/3cE8J9vsJs

CUT TO: Donald trump googling “how do you show empathy” as he works on a rebuttal speech

Imagine five years ago getting a preview of the 2020 Democratic Convention acceptance speech celebration, in which a black-masked Joe Biden silently watches explosions in a parking lot.
