nadiaraven , to asklemmy in What were or are your thoughts on the US Pres. Debate?

The moderator are giving Trump so much time. They won’t control him at all.

expatriado ,

got the feeling he is not using it for his own benefit

Montagge ,

Absolutely bonkers they won’t enforce the rules. Mute his mic and ignore him.

@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t verified it but I read on another post that the Harris campaign specifically asked for the mics to be left on during this debate. If that’s true, it stands to reason that she wanted them to be lenient with Trump, so that now he can’t pull the “They didn’t let me talk!” bullshit when talking about his less than stellar (generous way of putting it) performance.

@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yes, and he still lost handedly. That extra time was all rambles and nonsense. I think in the end it was better.

(Yes, I still would have preferred they muted him, ultimately).

Mac ,

What does it mean to lose? I guarantee that Trump supporters disagree.

PBS mostly talked about how awesome PBS is.

HottieAutie ,

like what?

smokebuddy , (edited )

the last ad break had someone saying (cw violence)

spoilerhe was a Kamala supporter until his son was hit by a car and reversed and driven over again by someone in the country illegally

another one I’ve seen during football is (cw sexual violence)

spoilerI’m not old enough to vote but if I get sexually assaulted Donald Trump’s policies will force me to carry the baby so think of me when you vote

the local candidate also has a commercial that talks about how she enlisted after 9/11 that uses 9/11 imagery

smokebuddy , (edited )

I’ve been video capturing some of the more interesting commercial breaks, I was thinking of making a Swing State Local TV Ad Starter Pack Screenshot meme but idk, it couldn’t possibly be balanced and seems crass. it’s probably best to collect them as a time capsule at least for now.

These “moderators” should be ashamed of themselves. They couldn’t be more transparently treating one participant with kid gloves and letting him talk as much as he wants.

It’s what I expected, but I am still disappointed.

And all the dim people who watch will nod along and think the moderators were super fair.

To be fair, while Trump is an adult, he never grew up, hence the kids gloves.

B+ for fact checking without bias (meaning not attacking both to just appear unbiased).

D for favoring one over the other with extra rebuttal time. Although I think it made Trump look worse.

FourPacketsOfPeanuts ,

I wonder if they gave a little because he’d caused so many fact checks they didn’t want the uninformed to mistake it all for being one sided

I type ~90 wpm. That helps. But also I used to have to do this sort of quick text summarizing with what people say when I worked a survey job back in the 90s and I guess it never left me.

highlights

Just about everything Harris said

lowlights

EVERYTHING Trump said. Some of it was so absurd it was funny, but that is dangerous when there are people that will follow him unconditionally

Edit: just read all of FlyingSquid’s comments for the details

Probably a lot of news coverage up tomorrow doing that.

matcha_addict , to linux in BSD Vs. Linux

I’ve heard BSD people criticize Linux ecosystem as “fractured”, and this discourages me from BSD. I see Linux ecosystem as one that grants you choice, and I love that. This criticism gives me the impression that BSD takes that away, that where will be one standard way to do many things. Maybe I am wrong or misunderstood.

What the fuck is this I rebuilt the military shit he keeps spouting about I have no idea where that’s coming from. Even by Trump’s normal standards this is confusing for me.

EmpatheticTeddyBear , to news in [USA] Presidential Debate Mega Thread

Rump’s entire argument has been nothing but FUD.

FlyingSquid , to news in [USA] Presidential Debate Mega Thread
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Trump closing statement: “She said she’s going to do lots of wonderful things. Why hasn’t she done it yet? They’ve had 3 1/2 years to fix the border and create jobs. Why hasn’t she done it? She should go down to the beautiful White House and to the Capitol and get them all together, but you won’t do it, because you want to do things that Americans don’t want like no fossil fuels. Germany tried and now they’re back to how they used to be. But I need to ask a simple question: why didn’t she do it? We’re a failing nation. They’re laughing at us. I know world leaders very well. They come to see me and call me and tell me. We don’t know what’s going on. We have wars going on in the middle east and in Ukraine and we’ll have nuclear war. I rebuilt our entire military. She gave a lot of it away to the Taliban. What these people have done to our country- the worst part is they let millions of criminals into our country. They are destroying the country. The worst president and the worst vice president in the history of our country.”

Ho-lee fuck.

xmunk ,

She didn’t do anything because she’s not the fucking President.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Earlier in the debate, she said that she is Joe Biden. Like he literally said that. So maybe he thinks she can?

LiveFreeDie8 ,

Maybe it’s like the time he claimed she was always Indian then one day changed to be black.

He was always Joe Biden then one day he made a change and says she is Kamala now.

gpt-2 could do a better job lol

ok, maybe the gpt-2 one is a bit incoherent, it was from five years ago though

The following is a closing speech in a debate against Kamala Harris by the Republican Donald Trump. "She said she’s going to do lots of wonderful things. Why hasn’t she done it yet? They’ve had 3 1/2 years to fix the border and create jobs. So they do it all the time and when you get down there and you get on the roads and people go, “Well, if you do it in Arizona, it’s not a ____ deal,” it’s no deal," they do it because I really don‴t know if they‴re any better than they are now. I don‴t know what kind of country that would be. So the point is when you say she is going to do it, it has been almost 3 1/2 years, we have lost a job and we have to do it. ____, they have all the money and the wall and they have to pay for it by cutting out millions of jobs. And what happened to us was the problem. These are the people who came over from South America and come here, and we didn’t have the money or the will to do it. Now we are doing this all the time. We don‴t have the economic opportunity to make more money with less taxes. What I mean by that is we have to fix the problem. ____, they haven‴t been doing it. ____, they have spent a lot of money on their projects and they don‴t have the financial means ____ to do that. So it is just a failure on a national level. We got the money, we will go ahead and do it if there are opportunities. But we did not do it because of ____. I mean, we have not got any jobs, no jobs in the United States, no jobs in the world.

Honestly I could imagine Trump saying this

banshee ,

His brain cells don’t talk to each other much do they?

xmunk , to news in [USA] Presidential Debate Mega Thread

Why hasn’t Vice President Harris fixed everything already, she’s the Vice President already so she should fix it.

So says the man that tried to get his VP hung when he dared disagree with him.

Substance_P , to news in [USA] Presidential Debate Mega Thread

She smashed it…in my opinion

WindyRebel ,

Like Gallagher smashing a watermelon - or…human pumpkin?

HottieAutie ,

I would have liked her to trigger his anger. He needed to lose it on stage while she laughed at him being a big baby.

smokebuddy ,

the crack about his crowd leaving early was pretty good

Captainvaqina ,

That did actually happen. His default is the world’s biggest crying bitch, but she got extra out of him and cemented it.

baronvonj ,
@baronvonj@lemmy.world avatar

The way he paused before saying “the Jewish people” I’m convinced he had to brace himself to not sneer out “the Jews” instead.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Yeah she didn’t leave much on the table.

It’s strange how difficult to combat Trump’s brand is. Like it seems so pathetic, yet it’s simultaneously unassailable.

KnightontheSun ,

Partly because he says everything so forcefully and appears to be a convincing person. It’s all a sham obviously.

A very confident liar.

Substance_P ,

Yep…There was no need to pull out the " I’m speaking "card.

She was getting that handshake.

That was her warning shot that it was her stage.
