Happy Monday! This week, it’s time for the Democratic convention. We haven’t even gotten started yet, and already it promises to be something special.
When we last left you, Armando was grousing about the selection of Tim Kaine as Hillary Clinton’s Vice Presidential candidate. I, of course, totally predicted that he would be won over before the weekend was over.
This, of course, is absolutely untrue. Armando was, in fact, won over by the brilliance of the Kaine rollout as executed by the Clinton team. But since I was out all day, supervising my kids’ Pokemon hunting, I didn’t get the chance to witness the spectacle and thus be won over. So I guess the rest of you will just have to tell me how awesome it was.
If you missed it too, join us and see if we can convince ourselves before lunch!
Oh, and look at this! Meredith McIver* has joined Twitter to yell at me (and others who doubted her existence and/or story). How exciting!
*Possibly.
Listen LIVE right here at 9:00 AM ET!
Who was it that I saw saying that they wished they knew of a quick and easy way to support the Kagro in the Morning show?
Was that you?
I thought so!
Well, now you can help justify the continued occupation of the “family room” at KITM World Headquarters by our “high-tech studio” with simple and easy PayPal donations, or recurring, monthly subscriptions! For you hipsters, we offer the same monthly option, but with a fancier name, through the KITM Patreon account!
And remember, the more of you who contribute, the less I feel like an idiot for doing this. Come on, that’s important!
Did you happen to miss our last LIVE show? You can catch it here, in our new YouTube format, which, theoretically, I think can actually make money if you all click on it a couple thousand times a day, which I absolutely recommend you do, precisely because of that money, which would be awesome!

David Waldman reminds you to send us money. Validate KITM’s existence for our spouses and kids that wonder why we do this each day… Now on YouTube! Donald Trump screeches out his shrill convention shriek, hitting 7.5 on the Nuremberg scale. Greg Dworkin rounded up last night’s Twitter reviews. Ted Cruz leaves the stage to boos, Donald Trump to cheers… but who were the real winners and losers? Armando joins today’s show to look back at the Trump convention, and forward to the Democratic convention. Oh wouldn’t it be great if Joe Biden stayed to be VP again? Or Elizabeth Warren! Or Sherrod Brown or Cory Booker! Or Xavier Becerra, Julián Castro, Thomas Perez, Tom Vilsack… Oh, it will probably be Tim Kaine. Read up on Donald Trump’s warm up act, Stephen Miller, to get a glimpse of the soul of his campaign. David examines how expense policies are still gender biased.
