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

      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”.

        I totally wanted to hear her say “this fucker” like she was thinking. What she did instead was probably more powerful.

      Clearly a sentence from a perfectly sane man and not a rotten brain kept alive through shoddy dark magic inside a barely functioning zombie

        Iirc, he dodged it twice. Like, how the actual fuck do you think you’ll remove 11 MILLION people from the country.

      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

          Nope, not a single one. I kept memeing a crab walking sideways. I think he thinks it’s a power move but he just came off as totally unprepared.

      He dodged every question and shoehorned in “the border” for all of them.

        he did have one answer to the obamacare question he had the “concepts of a plan” which is almost as stupid/funny as saying “my dog ate it”

        It would have been the funniest thing in the world if Harris had latched on to that and been like "Maybe you should take another 6-10 years to golf and think about it then come back. "

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

        He wants to be friends with Putin.

        He’s scared of Putin.

        Did you see the look on his face when Harris said that Putin would eat him for lunch?

    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.

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

      Honestly, that’s the moon compared to usual.

        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.

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

      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?

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

        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.

        It’s almost like they were prepared with researched facts based on his most commonly repeated blatant lies.

      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.

    The difference in America between commercial and public media: PBS’ stream is letting two political experts answer viewer questions. NBC is interviewing three undecided voters in Pennsylvania.

    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.

      You could see part of Harris’ teams strategy was to bait him with things to make him mad.

      There was the statement about him losing 400 million dollars, the statement about other western leaders laughing at him, the rally size comment. Probably a few more.

      If he was smarter he would have seen what they she was attempting and changed how he responded

    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.

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