“She wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison.” Again, actual quote.

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

some of the quotes out of this are more entertaining than I expected.

ABCDE ,

She’s a monster.

GroundedGator ,

But she’s not arresting any of the illegals, so she’s not doing any transgender operations.

ABCDE ,

I don’t know about that. I don’t know about that.

@tal@lemmy.today avatar

No doubt arrested illegals left over from when Trump was in office getting transgenderized now. Vice Presidents often transgenderize things, I hear.

I laughed a lot at some of the absurd things he has said during this, but that claim so far has been the funniest. It’s phrased like he just ended a game of Clue but he can only communicate via conservative buzzwords.

Kamala just got a laugh out of me when she was talking about Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David and she’s talking and then chokes on her words to look him up and down to try to find a PG-rated descriptor of him and ended up just saying “and this……… former president”.

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.

FlyingSquid ,

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.

xmunk ,

Trump… doesn’t want Ukraine to win the war? He dodged the fucking question?

smokebuddy ,

he also dodged if his mass deportation would involve door to door military action

djsoren19 ,

Of course he doesn’t, it’s a miracle he’s smart enough to realize he can’t say he wants a Russian victory.

Brunbrun6766 ,
@Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world avatar

When asked how he would handle Israel differently he said “It would never have happened, how Russia invaded Ukraine” sir, that’s not what we’re talking about

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think he answered a single question.

Debs ,

He wants to be friends with Putin. He’s gonna dodge.

WindyRebel ,

The Draft. Questions. It’s all the same. He dodges more than the auto manufacturer.

CrayonMaster ,

He doged the easiest question of the whole debate.

Not hard, since he dodged the others too.

Dwayne_Elizondo_Mountain_Dew_Camacho ,

To be clear, you don’t have a plan?

I have the concepts of a plan.

njm1314 ,

I love where he implied that because he’s not president he didn’t have to have a plan.

Adulated_Aspersion ,

“I’m not the president” Said the guy who said the election was stolen from him.

tiefling ,

I’ve given my professors and managers the same response

Debs ,

I lost it when he said this

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

i hope she can draw attention to the fact he cant answer a question without rambling through 5 unrelated topics.

A_A ,
@A_A@lemmy.world avatar

he cant answer a question without so instead he goes rambling through 5 unrelated topics.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

He’s now claiming that’s “the weave” and it’s intentional.

BossDj ,

So I put an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That is so much this debate on Trump’s side. I don’t even care much about what Harris says at this point.

twistypencil ,

ABC needs to let Harris respond instead of constantly letting Trump respond and not her

Routhinator ,
@Routhinator@startrek.website avatar

Yeah it’s getting pretty old now.

And calling him President!

KnightontheSun ,

Former presidents are still called president.

But it still makes me wince.

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.

Source: Worked in local news production for about 10 years way back during the Bush years.

BossDj ,

I am half as mad at Kamala for only once half ass attempting to jump in for more time

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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

BossDj ,

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

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Fuckin dummy took the bait on the rally size thing.

xmunk ,

And she laid it out so well.

Omegamanthethird ,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I came into the thread for exactly that.

aseriesoftubes ,

Now he’s about to take the bait on the former Reupbs who are voting for Harris.

zabby ,

His expression when she said that was GOLD

scytale ,

You could see the moment he got triggered. lol

aseriesoftubes ,

Why does this motherfucker keep getting to interrupt?!!

gatorgato ,

Moderation isn’t great. He’s getting way too much time and rebuttals.

Zerlyna ,
@Zerlyna@lemmy.world avatar

He’s getting extra rebuttals. She isn’t.

tal ,
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

Honestly, that’s one area where I feel that we’re kind of weak in terms of political dialog. From what I’ve seen, the Brits have a stronger tradition of expecting politicians to field questions and having interviewers not let them dance their way out of questions.

I don’t know if it’s definitely a major benefit to do that, hard to quantify – I’m also not sure that being able to come up with slick answers on the spot is always the best metric of a policy, would kind of prefer written questions and answers with time to respond, myself – but I kind of do think that it would help in some cases.

But unless that becomes an expectation, nobody’s going to willingly do that.

Spazz ,

“moderators”

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I keep quoting this bit from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in the hopes that it will happen to Trump. It hasn’t happened yet, but if we’re lucky tonight…

his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

YummyYugi ,

Why are you wishing death on someone?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, I am wishing that Donald Trump’s intestine ends up throttling his brain like in a comedic science fiction novel.

On a same level of things that are possible, I am also wishing I held the world speed record for the 100 meter hurdles.

YummyYugi ,

Oh so we can wish death on people and as along as we’re not capable of making it happen it’s okay?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry… you’re asking if it’s okay to wish someone die in a way that is literally impossible? Sure, why not. Go for it.

YummyYugi , (edited )

Seeing as I can’t actually make it happen and it’s not going to happen because I wished for it, that means its okay with you for me to wish for your death?

Let’s maybe focus instead of not wishing death on people? How about I wish Trump was in jail for his crimes and wasn’t able to compete in the race.

FlyingSquid , (edited )
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You are welcome to wish that my large intestine becomes sentient, makes its way through my body up to my brain and then starves it of oxygen for the betterment of humanity.

Why do you think I would care about that even a little?

Mog_fanatic ,

Careful dude. The small intestine is weak and dumb. But that large one? It’s sneaky. Just been biding it’s time until it strikes. You open that window and you might not be able to close it.
