The media is 100% in his pocket.

Don’t underestimate the number of conservatives who work in News Production. I doubt the moderators are the ones with their hands on the mute button. Some guy in the production booth is.

There were a lot of lefties, but they didn’t end up excelling in the industry like the conservatives.

She gave him enough rope and let him hang himself over and over. She didn’t need to jump in.

But so much more time she could’ve brought up his hands or JD Vance. I love that the one mention of Vance, Trump chucked him the hell under the bus so damn fast

It’s amazing how much he’s turned Vance into his whipping boy and Vance just takes it. He didn’t even pause to do it.

In an unexpected and geopolitically-disruptive turn of events, the United States of America became the 25th oblast. American policy on short-range ballistic missile use against strategic targets in Russia is anticipated to significantly change in the near future.

I loved the VPs at the end there. Vance somehow dodged 2 questions about Trumps question dodging.

Trump when asked who should win in Ukraine: “I want the war to stop, I want to save lives. People being killed by the millions. It’s so much worse than the numbers that you’re getting, which are fake. We have to give them $250 billion because we don’t ask Europe who are at a greater risk because Biden and YOU don’t have the courage to ask Europe like I did with NATO and they paid up, which is why they don’t like me as much as weak people. You look at what’s happening. They pay lots less. They should be forced to equalized. I want to get the war settled. I know both Zelensky and Putin well and they respect me. They don’t respect Biden. Why would you respect him? He hasn’t called Putin in two years. This is a war that’s dying to be settled. When I win, when I’m president-elect, I’ll get them together. That war would have never happened. When I saw Putin after I left, because this country has gone to hell, when I saw him setting up soldiers, I thought he was going to negotiate but he wasn’t because of Biden and millions are people are dead and it will be WWIII and where is Biden? We don’t even know if he is a president. They threw him out of our campaign like a dog. Biden doesn’t know he’s alive.”

Trump when asked again: “I think the war should finish. Negotiate a deal. People’s lives are destroyed.”

Harris finally tells him he’s not running against Biden.

Trump says more about Ukraine: “Putin would be in Moscow and he wouldn’t have lost all those soldiers, but he would have been sitting in Moscow much happier than he is now. He’s got a thing that other people don’t have, nuclear weapons. No one ever thinks about that. Maybe he’ll use them, but he hasn’t been that threatening. Nobody talks about it. They sent her to negotiate peace before the war started but it started because she is weak and stupid and she negotiated and the war started. Biden is the worst president in the history of our country. She is the worst vice president, but she is worse than Biden.”

He said Harris met with Putin. She never met Putin.

I was amused when he implied that black people’s jobs have such little worth that they could be taken by illegal immigrants from insane asylums.

The look she gave him when he said that spoke volumes.

njm1314 ,

I got to say Trump has stayed much calmer than I was hoping he would. I was really hoping she could get him lathered up, and while he’s absolutely crazy for a normal person for Trump he’s fairly normal tonight. It’s a bummer.

HubertManne ,

I mean I don't hear trump to often but it scares me to think that this is him calm and rationale.

He lost it a couple of times. He was also making a bunch of weird-ass faces.

smokebuddy ,

his brow sweat was clearly running down his nose and ruining his makeup, you could visibly see the pool at the nostrils. He couldn’t do anything about it other than making dumb faces to try and redirect it, because using a handkerchief to dab would cause bronzer disaster is my uneducated guess (as a sweaty guy)

fine_sandy_bottom ,

His minders would have really drilled this into him in the last few days.

He got a bit wound up a moment ago.

I guess the moderators decided that virtual coin flip that gave him the last word of the debate should go for every fucking question they asked as well.

I wanna see the networks code for this virtual fucking coin flip.

reddig33 ,

It’s corporate media. Their mission is to create sound bites to play on the evening news later.

smokebuddy ,

Trump spent weeks bitching about how they’re the absolute worst to him, and they just allow him to steamroll them every time. I get not bothering to ask questions knowing that he’s not going to answer them, but then at least pivot to pointing out his bullshit. Make it make sense.

Key takeaways from a debate that featured tense clashes over abortion, race and the economy

Trump, while measured early on, grew more annoyed as the night went on.

Trump on his immigration plan: “There are more migrants than they say because they allowed criminals and terrorists and drug dealers to come into the U.S. and are told by countries like Venezuela if they come back, they’ll kill them. Crime in those countries are way down because they gave criminals to her and they did it because she’ll get votes, but it isn’t worth it. They’ve destroyed the fabric of our country. Millions of people let in and all over the world, crime is down except in America and we have a new form of crime, it’s called “migrant crime” and it’s at the highest level ever. The FBI lied about crime because they didn’t include cities. It was a fraud like the number of jobs they said were created!”

SnotFlickerman , (edited )

Calling the FBI liars is so insane. This is the Law & Order Party once again…

I mean the FBI are liars, but not about that.

tal ,
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

The FBI is also only responsible for federal crime statistics, as I recall. Most crimes aren’t federal.

SeaJ ,

I do wish she had called that one out. Violent crime is the lowest it has been in 50 years. Undocumented immigration is below where it was when Trump was in office. Undocumented immigrants commit less crime than citizens.

Trump on immigration: “People don’t leave my rallies. They don’t go to her rallies. Also, WWIII is going to happen because immigrants, but the towns are too embarrassed to talk about it, but black people are eating dogs. People go to my rallies because they want to Make America Great Again which is a great phrase. She is destroying this country, it will be Venezuela on steroids.”

Furthermore: “I fired most of the people I hired because they did a bad job. Biden didn’t fire anyone because of Afghanistan and people died and I got to know their family. They should have fired all the generals! I fire people who are bad at their jobs. Those people write books about me, but no one else can write books. They didn’t fire the economists, look at the inflation. And just to finish- I got more votes than any Republican by far.”

Strong disagree, ABC has done an excellent job at refuting his most brazen lies.

twistypencil , (edited )

They let him respond, but then make Harris talk about something else… Journalists are already reporting that they have given him 30% more time, up to nine minutes more so far

xmunk ,

Yea… I stand by my statement from earlier in the debate but in the last ten minutes or so they seriously dropped the fucking ball - especially trying to cut off Harris when she tried to respond to bullshit Trump said when he stole time himself.

Yeah but how many of those minutes were spent in the English language on planet Earth?

Trump on his healthcare plan: “Obamacare was lousy healthcare and always was and if we come up with something, and we are, we will replace it. I inherited Obamacare because Democrats wouldn’t vote to change it. If they did, we’d have a better plan than Obamacare. I had a choice as president whether or not to let it rot and I decided to tell my top people- I had very good people- some bad ones. They don’t get rid of their bad ones. I had a choice to make: do I save it and make it as good as it can be or let it rot? And I saved it and it was the right thing and it will never be great and it is too expensive. We are looking into other plans. If we can come up with a better plan, we would replace Obamacare.”

Moderator: “Do you have a plan?”

Trump: “I have concepts of a plan. I’m not president right now. If it’s cheaper, I’ll do it. We have options. You’ll be hearing about it soon.”

SeaJ ,

It’s been a few years since he promised to show his plan in “two weeks.”

Trump after Harris once again giving a rebuttal full of policy points: “She made a mistake. John McCain fought Obamacare but it wasn’t just him. All the Democrats kept it going. We can do much better. Much less money. She won’t improve private insurance for people. People work hard. She wants everyone to be on government insurance where you wait six months for an operation.”
