The second night of the DNC ended with a millennial-coded state-by-state roll call, Barack Obama’s “size” joke, and Michelle Obama’s scorched-earth speech.
There were jokes too, of course. And here are my favorites:

Who had on their bingo card: “The DNC is becoming the biggest dance party of the summer”???? Kamala Harris put the PARTY back in the Democratic Party!!!!

Democrats in the most Republican states are the most militant and the most serious tonight, and I love it.

Michelle Obama went from “when we get low” to “I’m going to destroy this orange monster”

I’m so glad we went from “when they go low, we go high” to “girl, hold my earrings while I drag this weird guy”

The theme of today’s convention is “Men Who Marry Well.”

Michelle Obama is like the undertaker. She makes special appearances, reminds everyone she’s awesome, shakes the house, and then goes off to live her best life.

In 2016, the attitude toward Trump was that he was despicable; in 2020, it was that he was terrifying and had to be stopped at all costs; in 2024, it was that he was a little bitch.

I just realized that Melania didn’t speak at the RNC convention. Kind of odd for a team that always emphasizes the importance of family. Anyone know why?

Filling the same arena they held the RNC in but with more people at the same time as the DNC is so petty. Finally a party that represents me.

The Olympics should do this with the Parade of Nations. Forget national anthems, play each country’s pop hits. That would be awesome!

JB Pritzker’s comment about being a real billionaire was directed to an audience of one person: Donald Trump. And I GUARANTEE you, Trump is getting even crazier… He’s losing his mind. Perfect.
