…
She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge.
Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.
His face when she told him people left his rallies early was fucking priceless.
And yet, none of it will matter because anyone who had even been considering voting for the racist cheeto is infinitely entrenched and bound by their own logic.
Indeed, and note that Harris didn’t even attempt to go after his voters. The target is the middle and the squishy left, a reminder of what the stakes are in this election. She made it clear he was a petulant child, only caring about himself and the things important to him, and invited voters who want someone who doesn’t just care about themselves to come out and vote for her.
Hopefully it’s effective, because Trump has Project 2025 ready to go, despite his lies saying he knows nothing about it.
This headline, it makes Vladimir feel very jealous, da?
Right off starts with BS.

Lol, that’s not things work! What a stupid narrative… Trump knew exactly what he was doing by walking straight to his podium. He didn’t even meet her halfway. He made her have to come over to him. That! is the power move. Making her have to come to him. THAT is what shows dominance. Harris displays no dominance and is going to appear weak to other world leaders, which will make America look weak.
She was never in charge. And she reaked of subservience.
She met him at his podium as soon as he made it because she walks twice as fast, as him, and he looked completely taken off guard by the completely normal interaction.
If you think that was a “power move” for him, you’re pretty desperate for Trump…
It would be a power if anyone would have done that. I think the nuances of power dynamics isn’t going to be well understood here. Very low T around here.
It’s “reeked” but let’s be real, we already knew you couldn’t fucking spell.
Haha, the very first comment is an ad hominem. Can’t wait for the rest.
That you cannot spell isn’t a character attack, it is an objective fact easily verified by reading your comments.
It’s just a fact that makes you look bad. Sucks to suck.
Don’t waste your time feeding the troll
I’m trolling the troll, I don’t know what the hell the rest of y’all are doing
Misguided and wrong. And I don’t think you understand what trolling is.
k
I’m sick of correcting people because they lack reading comprehension. That was absolutely a personal attack.
we already knew you couldn’t fucking spell
Your comment is also an ad hominem. You think I should defend myself for commonly misspelled words and typos? Here’s a personal attack for ya, get stuffed.
qq more, brah.
Shut up
Shut up
You’re high on copium.
But anyone with a fifth grade education or better could have at any time…

Kamala Harris dominated the debate despite the fact that she was given about 5 minutes less time to speak!
It’s disappointing to see how the media invariably accommodates Trump. Contrary to the rules of the debate, when Trump continued talking after his time was up or demanded to respond to a point Harris made, they often let him by not muting his microphone. This added up to right around 5 minutes of extra speaking time on prime time television for him to spew his lies. The one time Harris tried the same thing she was shut down by the moderators. If there is any silver lining here it’s that Trump probably made his debate performance worse by talking more!
I was glad to see some push back and fact checking by the moderators in regards to Trump’s most egregious lies. Today MAGA is complaining that the debate was rigged and the moderators were against Trump due to the fact checks while they should be thanking ABC for the special treatment that allowed Trump extra air time.
Go Harris/Walz!
On the other hand, she actually originally requested his mic not be muted, probably because she knew he’d hang himself.
The one time Harris tried the same thing she was shut down by the moderators.
And she didn’t even put up with that. She just waited until her next turn, went back, said her part, and then answered the new question. Trump was basically incoherent by comparison
And she only did it to counter a bold face lie he said about herself.
Not 10 minutes before she stated that she did not ban fracking, will not ban fracking and made the tie breaking vote in favor of fracking.
But he still says “shes going to ban fracking if elected” like dude WTH. Are you paying attention?And I, for one, would love it if she actually banned fracking. But that’s not an argument that Trump World can make.
What is fracking?.
Fracking — shorthand for hydraulic fracturing — is the process of extracting gas or oil deep underground using a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals to break up rock.Its definetly a controversial subject.
I think it’s a hot issue for many working class citizens due to the results of creating more American jobs and lowering gas prices.
On the other side of the issue is climate risks and feeding our reliance on fossil fuels.
Edit:
Yeah keep downvoting me without adding to the conversation. I haven’t said I was one way or the other. Just providing an article for education on the subject and speculating on why people are on both sides.To state my opinion. I’m against fracking. Against ICE vehicle subsidies (fuck these huge pick up trucks). Also for nuclear power.
On one side! The world dying! On the other, a couple people’s jobs that can be replaced by green sector jobs!
What a massively hard decision.
We all know in a capitalist society there are people who only see short term. They care about themselves and not the future.
That means billionaires that only care about making the line go up. Increasing their own wealth. Hoarding it like greedy little lepricons.
That means working class that wants cheap gas and more jobs.
All at the cost of the planet and the future of all life on the planet.
It’s also poisoning our water
No. He is in Bizarro World 24/7 and will not have anyone, let alone a woman, tell him otherwise.
It was very disappointing, even though it was pretty much as expected. They even let Trump talk over and interrupt the moderators!
CNN should take some notes. That’s what moderators are supposed to do.
Nah they still are teeball amateurs compared to Kyle Clark.
As soon as she said small crowd size and low energy people leaving early he lost it lol
It was such obvious bait, I was a bit shocked that he took it!
Really? You were shocked? Lol
I wasn’t shocked at all (except the general shock that a person like this has ever come close to the presidency). Particularly in recent years, I’ve seen him take bait so many times which wasn’t even intended as bait, but it triggered him. And because it slightly grazed his fragile ego, priority number one for him is to go on an ego-defending tangent that only confuses and undermines any points he could have made about the actual topic.
Harris knew that as long as she peppered her responses with a trigger here and a trigger there, he would be unable to help himself every time. And that’s what we saw.
The entire reason he ran in the first place was because Obama made a joke about him in a speech, and it embarrassed him.
Yeah I don’t understand how people are still surprised by this either. He is an unrepentant, raging malignant narcissist. He physically - biologically! - cannot resist defending his ego when challenged.
I’m more shocked that Democrats haven’t tried to bait him this way much before. It’s not hard to get him to prattle on about nothing while you look like the grown-up in the room.
“When they go low, we go high” 😑
Ahh, right, that shit that sounded nice but didn’t work.
It’d work if Americans weren’t morons. But we are so we go low now
Only took us 8 years to figure out
“When they go low, we
gogive them a high knee”
I’m still stuck on this thing about how undocumented immigrants are coming to America to eat dogs and cats, but in the process are being forcibly sent to American Prisons which are actually a front for experimental sex changing drugs creating a squad of latinas-who-used-to-be-latinos with the goal of sending them to dominate women’s sports, and the existence of transpeople like myself are an elaborate hoax to manufacture consent for this program.
Do I understand that correctly, that is actually what Donald Trump unironically believes?
He can’t hold a thought that coplicated in his head.
“THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS!” is quickly becoming a thing in my house. That’s how my daughter greeted me after school today
Haha.
A sticker of this should go on every gas pump in America.
Trump’s head with a little dialogue bubble…
Don’t forget that the immigrants are coming from insane asylums, and are not legal immigrants seeking asylum.
It’s hilarious, he obviously literally does not know the difference between “insane asylum” and “seeking asylum”. He’s so goddamn stupid he thinks they’re the same word.
Goddamn, I wish a moderator had called him out on that one. I didn’t realize he was referencing asylum seekers, and the humiliation as they explain it slowly to him would be wonderful.
By the millions! Millions i tell you
If the last person who talked to him was Stephen Miller, it probably is. To paraphrase George Burns, putting an idea into his head is like putting a basketball into a thimble.
putting an idea into his head is like putting a basketball into a thimble.
I’m so going to steal this expression!
Man, I’d hate to sneak into the US just to chill and chow down on some cats, just to end up winning gold medals in woman’s sports
Would be super annoyed
He doesn’t believe anything he says. He doesn’t even hear himself. He’s like a poorly trained LLM at this point. It’s become so over tuned it’s only spews nonsense with conviction
He doesn’t believe anything he says.
Trump has often bragged about how good he is at deceiving people. Anyone who thinks Traitorapist Trump believes his own shit has been Trumped.
You forgot the part about how the trans surgeries are actually medical experiments to create an alien-human hybrid to prepare the Earth for the upcoming alien invasion.
Did he say that? I am going to have to watch this now. That’s fucking crazy
No, I stole it from the X Files.
But the notion that it sounds plausible compared to something Trump would say is really telling, isn’t it?
Every accusation a confession.
All Trump proved is that he is the social media-addicted racist uncle everyone has in their family. That is what he demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt.
“I saw it on television”
Dominated.
So cursed. Banish the demons!
Wow this is cursed. Accurate, but so cursed
Sigh… *zips*
Why would you do this?
Not my proudest fap, I’ll admit.
Doesn’t trump have bigger boobs?
The biggest!
Until this moment I did not sexualize Kamala Harris. Now I’m a little afraid of what fantasies you have awakened in me.
Gid bless you sir 🫡
Holy shit.
Work has been interesting so far. Not many of the huge Trumpers are discussing it and they discuss every time he cuddles out a fart. Most are saying they didn’t have the stomach to watch KuMALuh lie all night or the entire thing is rigged. There’s been one comment that her earrings were secretly devices to feed her the answers.
The trucker I swamp for has swapped rhetoric from “Kamala laughs like a hyena/ Trump is fine” to declarations about how he doesn’t care about politics and how maybe we should all just stop talking about it.
Very funny how fast that disengage happened.
Trumpets disengaging and not voting is probably the best we can hope for.
If they skip the election it is a huge win. Change takes time.
My parents, who aren’t hardcore trumpers but did vote for him last time aren’t voting and I consider that a massive win
How does one ‘swamp for’ a trucker? What new devilry is this?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamper_(occupational_title)
Old devilry. The same sort that has union truck drivers called “Teamsters” even though most of them have never been near a horse or mule.
I’m a Teamster … and I’m a fucking school bus driver. When I signed up for the union I made a joke about getting a phone call at midnight to go down to the docks and break some kneecaps. The guy taking the forms un-ironically said “I wish we did that”.
Some Teamsters are wild man. One guy I rode with went on a whole thing about how he thought “Swamper” was such an outdated thing to call my position and I brought up the whole thing about how he wasn’t driving horses either and he went on a 40 minute tyrade about how very dare I/ it’s still called “horsepower” / proud history of the union…
Cocaine is one hell of a drug.
Ahhhhh. Thanks!
I doubt most of them watch it even when he was doing well. They just say they do and parrot whatever Fox tells them.
KuMALuh
To be fair, it’s hard not to say it that way if you’re a long time pro wrestling fan, lol
Absolute dumbasses. They are a liability to you and your employer.
Any time you hear someone openly supporting Trump at work, make an anonymous report to HR. Make it everyone’s problem.
I’m not American, but that was fun to watch. I had my popcorn and everything. It felt like I’m watching Cartman debate Wendy or something.
It was easy for you to enjoy because you were not worried every second that if it went poorly, you were about to live in an authoritarian state.
EDIT : poor phrasing that changed the meaning.
I did not worry every second that I allegedly am about to to live in an authoritarian state.
What are you talking about?
See my corrected post.
Maybe they meant you don’t have to worry about living in authoritarian state if he wins.
Correct. I really need that up and I’ve corrected it.
It’s worse than that, because if Trump takes back over then gawd only knows what he’ll wreck outside our country.
Lmao. Idk if id compare Kamala to Wendy but well done sir.
He says he won and his supporters believe it. That’s all they need. Doesn’t matter if he was dominated or not.
But it also reassures anyone hesitant about her ability to hold her own as a leader. Her real job was not coming off as a political hack from a desperate party. And instead she played him like a concert fucking pianist.
Just like for almost 4 years the American ppl have been played like “a concert fucking pianist”?
See ya at the pump. Or the grocery store. Or living behind a 7 Eleven because housing prices are out of control.
Look at the deeds, not the words. She is part of the current administration and cannot run from her track record.
Current admin has accomplished more towards my political priorities than any republican candidate ever has or ever will.
We get it, whatever single issue you’re hung up on means you hate Harris. Whatever. Be an adult.
That’s good advice. Look at the deeds. What has the rapist felon done?
This isn’t accurate. They may not change their vote, but this hurt them. This further proved that Trump is demented, bumbling, and easy to manipulate.
Trump and his followers are truth proclaimers, not truth seekers. They believe truth is dictated by consensus, volume, devotion, etc because that’s what their religion and their narcissistic delusions teach them. Everyone else knows that truth is something to be analyzed and determined, not proclaimed.
So in general, yeah it’s a waste of time paying attention to what their reaction is. They’re a predictable bunch.

It’s the same old shit the Nazis did.
I don’t think you can use a racist cult as a measuring stick. Of course it doesn’t matter to them, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter at all.
He didn’t say it didn’t matter, he said it’s a waste of time worrying about their reactions. Which in a sense, is true, considering how predictable those reasons always are.
Keep in mind, Blue MAGA here tried to claim Biden won his debate.
It’s obligatory for those on a team to claim they win. If you were voting for Harris before the debate, you are still voting for Harris after the debate. If you were voting for Trump, there is almost no chance that changed based on this debate.
If you are on the right and not voting for Trump this election, you probably aren’t voting. Cheney isn’t bringing votes to the Democrats.
The votes left to get (amongst registered) are leftists who are still struggling to vote for a candidate who supports a genocide. You won’t get them abusing them with the idea that they need to sacrifice their morals for a candidate. Only the candidate can get those voters, and they can only do so with a policy shift. It’s probably about 2.5 to 5 percent of registered Democrats s in this bucket. More than enough to make or break the Harris candidacy.
https://www.mapresearch.org/democracy-maps/voter_registration_deadlines
The only other option for more votes is to create more registered voters (link above). So we’re very rapidly coming up to the point where neither the Harris or Trump campaign can j crease their vote share in the critical states that are going to decide this election.
Using the relatively well established rule of about 2 weeks for information to filter through the news and to emerge in polling, and the consideration that the voter registration deadline is coming up, that we should expect a policy shift from Harris around October 12th -16th. This is simply because there really aren’t any more votes for the campaign to get once the registration deadlines begin to pass.
I’ve never heard anyone claiming that Biden won his debate. I’ve heard some say it was survivable, which it was not. Having watched both debates, I think it’s pretty safe to say that Biden lost his and Harris won hers. Both with rather big margins.
I mean, their claims were happening here, live. See the past mega threads. There really is no reason to cite ignorance for something so easily verifiable.
The votes left to get (amongst registered) are leftists who are still struggling to vote for a candidate who supports a genocide.
I can’t tell if you’re being genuine and clueless or malicious.
Let’s assume you’re the former first. WaPo did a pretty cool piece with undecided swing voters during the debate. It resulted in a small but significant shift left. You can check it out here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/presidential-debate-voter-poll/
Unfortunately, I’m going to assume the latter. To quote Kamala, “This is the same tired old playbook” the Russian troll farms trotted out when Biden was in the race. I’m not sure if you’re one of those that fell for it or if you’re a troll yourself, but it’s not working anymore. If Trump were in office, he’d gleefully tell Netanyahu to bomb Palestine out of existence. If this is going to be a talking point, at least discuss it in good faith.
In a triage situation, you focus on those who are most likely to survive given the resources available. You can’t fix extremists so focus on the ones you can save instead.
We don’t really know whether nobody has dominated Donald Trump like that, because we don’t know what Putin says when they talk.
Oh man, what I’d give to be a fly on that wall.
It’s it still domination if the other person is into it?
Oh yes, oh yes it is.
If you ever read what Putin says about Trump, it is clear that, although he sees Treason Trump as a useful stooge, Putin doesn’t have any actual respect for Trump.
