I’m experiencing so many conflicting emotions right now. Horrified, amused, enthusiastic, resigned…

There’s smoke coming out of my ears, and I smell a burning clutch from constantly shifting gears.

I was anxious as fuck going in. By the end of Trump’s first response, I knew he’d lost and I sat back and enjoyed the stupid.

@baronvonj@lemmy.world avatar

The fact checking live to his face had him losing it. And that irritated head shake every time they quoted him. So beautiful.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Disregarding everything before, on closing statements alone, Kamala crushed him.

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

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

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.

That handshake spoke a lot.

peopleproblems ,

She was getting that handshake.

That was her warning shot that it was her stage.

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.

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.

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.

FlyingSquid ,
@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.

Dude I literally spit out my cat when I heard him railing off there.

@baronvonj@lemmy.world avatar

We found the Haitian!

EmpatheticTeddyBear ,

Rump’s entire argument has been nothing but FUD.

njm1314 ,

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.

For those who didn’t watch, ^that isn’t like stupid internet humor… Trump was literally complaining about that on stage.

baronvonj ,
@baronvonj@lemmy.world avatar

And then doubled down when fact checked.

MataVatnik ,
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

Just look at this thread by Top, you’ll get some of the highlights that were said

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

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

I don't know how you did it man. Those paragraphs looked word for word to me. not my half assed paraphrasing mixed with my own giggling commentary.

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.

barkingspiders ,

Well we certainly appreciate it, thank you for your service tonight

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.

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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

gnomesaiyan ,
@gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world avatar

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

@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

yeah, looks like he got a solid 5 more minutes than her to say the same bullshit over and over

Omegamanthethird ,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

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.

smokebuddy ,

my American affiliates come from Detroit so the local commercials are always wild

ABCDE ,

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

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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
