Mfer literally quoted Orban. Bruuuuh
I didn’t bother.
I already know how it’s going to go no matter who wins. Everyone gets poorer except the wealthy.
Being ignorant doesn’t rlly help, I feel more hopeful after watching the debate tbh.
Well, respectfully, some of us have bills, and there’s nothing worse for my hope in either of these candidates than my grocery, electrical, and medical bills.
Your grocery and medical bills were talked about.
That’s all they ever do.
Say things.
So get involved in politics and do something about it instead of burying your head in the sand and whine?
Totally, man.
It’s entirely my fault.
Don’t indulge in self-blame, take action! :-)
“trash says I smell nice!”
Hahaha
This cheeto is COOKED
There’s a live thread at !news@lemmy.world.
Thanks homie u da mvp
Also one at !politics@lemmy.world
Oh hell naw. I’m maintaining my sanity by letting Jon Stewart tell me all about it afterwards:-).
I was so excited to watch the post show but it’s on fucking Paramount+ and only comes the day after
It’s on YouTube if you haven’t seen it already. And it is glorious.
I am waiting for it to come out in meme format.
There’s going to be some good ones for sure
I am out of the loop, what’s that about
Trump and co are spreading the lie that Haitan refugees in Springfield Ohio are stealing family pets and eating them.
Just as an aside, the GOP Twitter posted an AI generated image of a cat and a goose looking scared with a caption like “protect our cats and ducks” and cats I get, sure, but I’m supposed to believe eating duck is somehow crazy?
Duck? Of L’orange fame?
He ate the entire damn onion.
if anyone is eating cats its RFK Jr. Did anyone check to see if he made a stop there recently?
He wouldn’t steal them, though (though if you recently buried a dead pet in your lawn he might dig that up).
He prefers roadkill, doesn’t fit his taste if it’s fresh.
Honestly it’s how I consume lot of world events these days
Moderators keep letting trump interrupt & talk over them. Bro just grow some balls & tell him to shut up & mute his shit
They’re afraid to be called unfair after he said that they’d be unfair. It’s one of the strategies that us uses to suppress fighting back against his lies and ineptitude.
First, your preemptively accuse someone of something. Second you do awful things that would normally rightfully get a response, but the authorities have to be careful otherwise you’ll accuse them of doing the thing they should be doing. Third, you get your way even though you broke the rules, or you get to yell about how you knew, just knew! That you’d be treated badly.
Fuck it man, just be unfair. He’s going to say you were anyways, go scorched earth on the motherfucker.
90% of the time Kamala finished her point perfectly before the mods started to interrupt. Respec
Trump…was his disgusting self
And the best part was that when they did interrupt her, she finished her sentence, then stopped talking
(Except for one time where it really looked like trump was gonna set her off but she still held up)
I think it’s safe to say this is without a doubt the best performance we’ve seen from a candidate against Trump, which imo really speaks to her ability to keep her composure under pressure, which isn’t easy, especially when everybody expects you to be absolutely flawless.
That’s cool, but I did like it when Biden told trump to shut up.
If kamala had called trump a little bitch when talking about how he’s still recovering being fired I would have lost it.
“This…” (long pause to make sure she doesn’t say something stupid) “…former president”
She didn’t need to say it. The long pause said everything it needed to.
Also, going over to shake his hand was such an alpha move and she knew it. Trump was pretty much rattled from that point onwards.
It was such a huge stage tonight and she was beyond solid. Like you said, the best democratic performance since… can’t remember. maybe you didn’t say now that I think about it. She came off so reasonable and nailed all the points that should do damage to a turd like Trump.(i’m fine with name calling)
Thinking that same thing. For once just enforce the rules on this man baby
The problem is that they would hone in on that and make the debate about that rather than Kamala. They took the L for her Win. It’s shitty. But what they had to do to make her the focal point. He absolutely is gaslighting them to make it about what he wants.
Who is “they” in this context? If you’re talking about trumpers, they’re a lost cause, man. They’re always going to have some alternate version of reality. The only way we’re going to move forward as a country is if we stop worrying about what they’re going to say or do. We cannot let the tyranny of the minority hold this country hostage.
speakers took the L for Kamala I think is what he means
This has been a complaint across a dozen debates for 8 years now.
That was Harris’s request, I thought. In the original terms for the Trump/Biden debate, each person’s mic was shut off except when it was their turn to speak. Harris asked for that to be changed to allow interruptions, and Trump went along with it. If that’s not working out for Harris, she should probably talk to her own team that wanted it, instead of whining about the moderators.
It worked out just fine for her. Gave him a chance to dig his own grave, which is what he did and what she wanted.
Weird 34 was just showing off his misogyny. It’s disrespectful to talk over women and take up their time. The debate proves Harris’s point that Sleepy DonOLD cares only about himself and goes to great lengths to tell more and more lies.
This is not a new development, dude. Do we really need to rehash the lessons of the last 8 years again? The people who vote for him don’t care about your sensibilities. They like that he’s rude and think it shows strength.
You may have missed the point of the debate, which is to help people on the fence choose a side. Anyone on the fence HAS been asleep the last 8 years and ought to not choose to side with Cult 34 and their rude, misguided values. I expect many a boomer MAGAt has a wet dream of the rapist groping her on stage.
What’s up with the 34?
DonOLD was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York. He hopes people don’t keep his factual criminality on the top of their minds. The purpose and motive of the crime was to deceive voters. It’s election fraud.
Weird 34 was just showing off his misogyny.
What did Eisenhower have to do with it?
Weird 34 was just showing off his misogyny
That’s literally his strongest selling point, his voters support him because he normalizes misogyny.
If he ran over and slapped her to the floor they’d consider it a show of American Strength.
The mic being active or not doesn’t affect her hearing. If he interrupts her she’d still hear it, only the TV audience wouldn’t, so she’d seem flustered.
That’s a really great point.
I have been disappointed by that as well but this has been astoundingly good as far as debates have gone. The immediate fact checking is long overdue. And frankly I look forward to pointing at Trump’s extra speaking time as a bulwark against the “iT wAs BiAsEd By ThE lIbErAL mOdErAtOrS” complaints.
I’ve been genuinely impressed by their real-time fact checking. They’re swatting away every wild thing he says calmly and with specific examples of the truth. These moderators are incredibly well-prepared.
Hopefully that’s the standard from now on. Unless Donny finally kicks the bucket we’re probably gonna be seeing more of him even if he loses in November
There’s no way the GOP will give him another chance after losing twice, especially with all the other baggage
Hahahahah. He is the gop now. Would be fun watching him shred the party to pieces from a jail cell. Not to celebrate to early or anything.
As much as I want to agree I still don’t think it’s likely he’ll ever see the inside of a cell. Not when the highest court in the land is almost entirely made up of his servants
Well there’s no way they didn’t know what to expect!
Agree. They are just letting him prove what a crazy duck he is.
Forcing myself to watch this thing. I think I’m getting a rash.
I’ve been doing the game where I shoot every time he gets the mic when he shouldn’t.
Probably gonna need emergency services soon
Like your username. Though we probably have a different definition of subspace lmao
ABC is being pathetically weak in controlling Trump rebuttal time. They are letting him walk all over them.
Nothing new there.
Harris campaign requested unmuted mics - it was Trump’s team that was worried about him making an ass of himself with interruptions. With that in mind they might be letting him talk because it’s what Harris wanted in the first place.
None of that should matter if the moderators had the a drop of a spine. They don’t. They should be banned from ever moderating again.
They fact-checked constantly during the first half, which was a huge improvement over former debates. Honestly I thought this was better moderated than any previous debate involving Trump.
Not a bad idea honestly, it clearly worked as intended
They need to use electrodes and as you go over your time or interrupt you get a small shock that gets larger each time you offend.
Trump would die in 15 minutes.
Seems like a win win
Never interrupt your enemy in the middle of a mistake.
every prosecutor wants to get a defendant on the stand and she did a great job of letting him babble. I think at one point she shook her head and said “he doesn’t remember the question” her mic was off though so I’m not sure
Honestly don’t know what it takes for an asshole to be put in his place. Most people are weak in this sense, I mean, we see it in every day lives too. It took me so much fucking working to get this sociopathic criminal pushed out of my friend group. Most people didn’t “want to make things awkward”.
I didn’t bother.
I already know how it’s going to go no matter who wins. Everyone gets poorer except the wealthy.
i was working so, no.
Probably for the best
Nah, I’m busy performing transgender operations on illegal immigrants that are in prison right now
Don’t forget to implant the voting microchip while you’re in there!
Don’t forget to do their abortions first
Insanely, if he were capable of forming and articulating coherent thoughts, he could have actually landed an attack that would have turned off some swing voters, but he was basically frothing with impotent rage by that point.
Relevant survey response:
“14. As President will you use your executive authority to ensure that transgender and non- binary people who rely on the state for medical care — including those in prison and immigration detention — will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care? If yes, how will you do so? Yes X No ⬜ Explanation (no more than 500 words): It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition. That’s why, as Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates. I support policies ensuring that federal prisoners and detainees are able to obtain medically necessary care for gender transition, including surgical care, while incarcerated or detained. Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment.”
I laughed for like a solid minute at that one.
Yo pass me your pet first before you go
Me next 👉👈🙄
I laughed so hard when I heard that! Best quote of the whole night!
no, not like i like to stay uninformed, i just don’t like to cringe
Colin Robinsons out there feeding from the energy
I can’t watch the orange man without getting very angry about the shit he spews, so I couldn’t watch it for very long. I understand he got trounced.
Kamala on fire
