So idk about everyone else, but did anyone else catch that they both had hot mics?

This wasn’t a debate for her, or a law school case scenario, or an undergrad philosophy argument. This was a trap she set.

He managed to call him weak, a poor sport, a sore loser, an idiot, in a publicly appropriate manner, and each time she did, he got more and more unhinged.

Don’t stop your opponent from making the wrong move.

@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

No they didn’t. HE had a hot mic majority of the time. Hers was clearly being muted

Substance_P ,

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.

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.

Dana Bash from CNN actually stating what should be obvious. Paraphrasing:

We’re covering this because it’s racist. We’re talking about memes that say people of color will eat your pets. That’s racism.

smokebuddy , (edited )

it’s also another time he might be mistaking an episode of King of the Hill for real life, like the low-flow toilet flushing… after all he did say “he saw people on TV” talking about it

spankmonkey , (edited )

These hosts are absolutely awful. Every time he rambles and lies, they give Harris a new topic. Occasionally they ask a question and barely point out that he didn’t answer it.

The hosts need to hold him to a debate, not let him play it like a Trump rally.

Harris is doing fantastic.

AlexanderESmith ,

They called him out on that insane 9mo abortion nonsense, and the people eating pets.

Honestly, that's the moon compared to usual.

spankmonkey ,

They half heartedly disagreed and let him repeat it again, just like they won’t correct him every time he lies about immigrant crime. It might be slightly better than past debates, but they are absolutely letting him run the show.

Everything he said is a lie. They would spend the whole debate rebutting him.

spankmonkey ,

Nah, actually correct him and mute his mic and he would storm off the stage like a giant baby.

barsquid ,

This is what should happen. Blatant lie means you lose time for corrections.

AFKBRBChocolate ,

It’s really infuriating. Every time he’s asked a question, and she gets a rebuttal, he just starts rebutting her rebuttal and they just let him. And half the time what he’s says has nothing to do with the question that was asked. They cut Kamala off pretty much every time.

dylanmorgan ,

They should have gotten this guy to moderate.

Oh look, Harris wanted to respond out of turn one time and the hosts shut her down after letting Trump interrupt all night.

It really deems like he has been allowed to talk for twice the time as Harris. Anyone keeping track?

ape_arms ,

spankmonkey ,

Wow, his 15% more time that he was able to get by interrupting and not shutting up when his time was up sure felt a lot longer than it was.

sh00g ,

This is the first time we have seen moderators actually fact check Trump live. I’ll take that in spite of the interruptions.

spankmonkey ,

They were meek and let him talk over them. I guess more than zero is better than nothing, but it is a pretty low bar.

PBS has a lady on who says congresspeople are contacting her and basically saying, “why couldn’t it have been Nikki Haley?!”

@tal@lemmy.today avatar

I’ve had that same question for Republican primary voters for some months.

barsquid ,

Because Nimarata doesn’t excite the core Repub voting base (christofascist bigots) so she would never win the general election.

Trump on what to do to fight climate change: “They lost 10,000 manufacturing jobs this last month. They’re building auto plants owned by China in Mexico and they think they can sell their cars in the U.S. because of these people. We’ll put tarriffs on those cars so they don’t enter the country because it will kill any auto worker. What they have done to business and manufacturing is horrible. Biden doesn’t go after people because China paid him millions of dollars. Him and his son. Ukraine gave him money. All these countries give him money. Why is he so loyal to Ukraine? The wife of the mayor of Moscow gave him money!”

Yes, he asked why Biden is so loyal to Ukraine.

That such an absolute dumbfuck has a chance to become President (again no less for fucks sake!) is a god damned indictment on our system.

ConHoliousDonFrankle ,

This

More than anything, I’m embarrassed as an American that shit has gone this far, and we have to listen to Coherent Cathy for a third election.

HottieAutie ,

Biden is loyal to Ukraine because the wife of the mayor of Moscow gave gim money. The wife of the mayor of the capital city of the country that invaded Ukraine gave Biden money for him to use the US government support Ukraine against Russia. Makes perfect sense 👌

barsquid ,

Needs a fact check that Donald received millions from China.

She was getting that handshake.

That was her warning shot that it was her stage.

BBC here, so we just get some dramatic music for three minutes.

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

The main problem with the debate is that the audience that is listening has to actually also be SANE.

If you have nutjobs listening to all this … they’ll love Trump no matter how reasonable Harris may sound.

The trouble has been, is and will always be … the general intelligence of the US population.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Remember, Trump needs more than the MAGA faithful to win. Only a small number of people need to be swung by this and I can’t believe this will turn anyone against Harris.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

If she could get 3% more in every state, it would be a landslide. She would win Florida and Texas at that rate going off 2020 numbers.

HubertManne ,

now their eating the pets

Easyreever , (edited )

What the actual fuck was that? Did he actually just say that!!!

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. They’ve been pushing this crazy racist lie that Haitians in Ohio are eating people’s pets.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

My spouse was looking into it and apparently it stems from an American citizen who did something to their own dog. So they are trying to spin some crazy citizen as being done by the people he uses to rile up the racist voters.

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.

LovingHippieCat ,

Dunno if anyone has brought this up but Trump basically never looked at Harris. Even had his face turned her direction and just looked at the moderators. The only time he looked at her was when he was forced to at the start where she went to shake his hand. Dude hates her so much.

HottieAutie ,

According to Trump, leaders all over the world are calling and going to see Trump to laugh at the USA.

So like, which ones? Which leaders are visiting Trump to laugh at the USA? And why is he accepting them over and over? Why are world leaders wasting their time laughing at the USA with Trump? Tell us, Trump!

SeaJ ,

Probably only Orban who is batshit.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

I think he has support from North Korea, Russia, Hungary, and Turkey possibly. He doesn’t have the support of Germany, France, UK, Canada, Spain… Nevermind I don’t have all night
