I just watched the entire debate this morning and Kamala gave Donald an unmitigated ass whooping. She fucking owned him from the handshake on. Kamala was well prepared and stayed cool, calm, and collected as she broke him down like a angry pathologically dishonest hostile witness, all while offering a positive vision for America. Donny, on the other hand, was on his heels for almost the entirety of the debate and resorted to his same old angry lies, grievances, dog whistles, and extremely dark version of the future (American and household pet carnage). Donny, being Donny, fell for every single bait Kamala set and in his responses he looked old, unpresidential, incompetent, incoherent, confused, wholly unprepared, racist, and frankly fucking crazy. All Kamala had to do was sit back and watch Donny bury himself, and bury himself he did. It got so bad that Donny had to resort to using his friendships with dictators like Kim Jong Un, Putin, and Viktor Orban to defend himself. Fucking brilliant and I urge everyone to take the time to watch the entire debate.

It started early and went downhill for Donny from here.

The fact that Team Trump is already claiming the debate was "rigged", "stacked", and attacking the Mods/ABC tells us all we need to know about Donny's debate performance. When all else fails, play the victim.

I agree with a lot of this (not all ).

Trump was unprepared. He fails to realize that his stump speech doesn’t play to all Americans. And I’m sure he’s impossible to coach. Trump taking anyone’s advice on how to behave or what to say… we’ll, I just can’t imagine that going well.

On that note, I’d agree that he needed to be more positive. It’s possible to fight the good fight and still be an optimistic and upbeat person. Last night he wasn’t. 90 minutes of anger won’t sell. The term “Happy Warrior” comes to mind. Reagan is the example here.

All in all, a good night for Kamala, a “meh” night for Trump and a horrid night for ABC. The moderator bias wasn’t just apparent- it was featured. Not sure the polls will change much, but if they do it will probably be toward Harris.

What if we believe half of Americans are of below average intelligence and decent people?

I guess that makes you exactly like the other half. (Although, by definition, half of Americans are of below average intelligence).

The moderator bias wasn’t just apparent- it was featured.

A total Fox News induced cop-out. When a presidential candidate claims doctors are performing abortions after birth, or a candidate claims Haitian immigrants are stealing peoples pets and eating then that candidate needs to be fact checked. If anything the moderator were over tolerant of the avalanche of bullshit coming out of Donald's mouth last night and let him talk much longer than he deserved. In the end this hurt Trump because he sounded like an angry unhinged lunatic for 99% of the debate. What the Mods did last night was is called good journalism. They had clearly done their research and came prepared to ask question of each candidate concerning their own actions, words, and records. One candidate was up to the challenge and did extremely well, and one candidate was his own worst enemy (again). Last night MAGA once again had a chance to witness the most foul human being to ever run for the highest office in this land. Their conclusion? That's our man, lets shoot the messenger. Fucking disgraceful.

Trump spoke for 43 minutes
Kamala spoke for 37.5 minutes

So much for bias..

I would also like to take a moment to point out that it was pressure from the left that got biden to step down. Nobody was excited to have him run again, and HE IS THE ONE THE DNC TRIED TO FORCE ON PEOPLE! Enough independant players pushed on their reps and senators to beg him to step aside, with a general sense of, 'who cares who replaces him'. Jon Stewart had been saying it since his first episode back to TDS. You can say it was a scheme of sorts, but the RNC backing dumpster fire mcgoo seems equally ridiculous. Like, they don't realize how unpopular he is with most people?

The point is, if the dem voters were pissed, they would say so, but they don't seem to be upset about voting for harris, so quit with the pearl clutching about a stolen primary.

@0qb0
I liked your post but I searched cisgender on X and found it. What is the basis for claiming it is banned? Also the government and social media colluded to control speech in the last election.

I'm concerned about both.

Right-o, it’s not an outright ban. More context here, this was posted on Them, but also using reporting from TechCrunch. X has at times produced a warning message. I’m not really sure what the long list of things are that Elon doesn’t want us to talk about nor do I care to find out…

“As first reported by TechCrunch last week, writing the word “cis” or “cisgender” in a post on the mobile app could lead to a fullscreen message reading, “This post contains language that may be considered a slur by X and could be used in a harmful manner in violation of our rules.” The warning, however, did not prevent users from posting content containing those words, with countless posts over the past week referring to “cis” and “cisgender” people. As of the publication of this story, using the words “cis” or “cisgender” no longer appears to trigger such a warning on the platform. Curiously enough, racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic slurs never triggered such a warning on X.“

What’s been interesting to see is the clever manipulation of algorithms that the platforms can use to quietly silence some content and not others. I play this game sometimes on instagram where I have 5k followers, a story might see 100 people or 800 people depending on its content. Not saying it’s ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ but it certainly is a huge power they wield to decide what gets seen and what gets ignored.

That guy is hilarious

I thought Trump debated a whole lot better than expected.

He was a bit of a broken record, but, overall, less of a wreck than expected.

He does set the bar pretty low

I’m with Elon on this issue. Damn near a free speech absolutist.

Here's what your boy Elon has been up to. Creepy as fuck, seriously crossed a line, and should be taken as a threat in my book. I can't help but wonder if Mr. Musk would talk that shit with a real alpha male like Travis in the room? Me thinks not.




And I just saw this for the 1st time. Elon hanging with Jeffrey Epstein's recruitment officer. Holy Treejeezus! What are the fucking odds? Maybe there is something a little more sinister to Donny and Elons quid pro quo than endorsements and EV's? Did Donny and Elon cross swords in the past?

A nice short synopsis of the beatdown-

 

[Matias]

The devil supports Kamala:

The dumpster does not endorse her and never has. He isn't a third party candidate. The republican party is still just as shitty as ever. I will be voting Oceans, but to suggest that the Republicans are the carriers of the torch of freedom and righteousness is absurd.

 

[Daniel]

A nice short synopsis of the beatdown-

did you notice his hair? looked terrible and so out of character... I suspect they got to him after the assassination. Told him they'd send someone who won't miss next time... Not sure that a bad debate is going to be enough to get her anywhere near the threshold in a fair election...

You know Bush 2 didn't win either election... To think that an election can't be stolen in the US is pure foolishness. DO you remember when Jimmy Carter ran an organization that monitored elections around the world. The US didn't even meet the basic requirements that would need to be met before Carter would monitor an election.

Who is "they" that got to Donald after the election?

A fair election? Are you suggesting that the 2020 elections wasn't fair? If so how?

And you are absolutely right on stolen elections in the good old US of A. Has happened before and will undoubtedly happen again.

Isn't it Leon Musk now? Buds with Tim Apple. In the United Zhdades. Sorry couldn't resist.

9 years to boast about his better healthcare mousetrap and nothing to show. Bit of an oops.

There was an old book/movie about newspaper barons "power" when that was the the info tech oligarch. new boss same as the old boss

In my county, the election laws were broken by chain of custody violations. I talked to a candidate in a neighboring county that clearly lost due to cheating. Every single independent voter in one precinct voted for her opponent, giving him a margin of victory in single digits, where every other precinct had a nearbeven split in independent voters.

In Pennsylvania there was no paper backup until fairly recently. The elections could have easily been rigged with software alone. The possibilities are endless. Just because no one proved election fraud in a courtroom doesn't prove it didn't happen. Might just mean that got away with it.


I never really thought much about it until the news had to repeat a million times how the claims were completely unfounded. Reminded me too much of WMDs. If it was really true, a half million times would have been enough. Thst got my spider senses tingling.

Not saying it's true, just that it might be. And anyone thst claims it couldn't be, is an idiot.

So, by your own admission, it is equally likely that it went down either way. That is a lot of words to say nothing. That sounds like there is just as much evidence on both sides.

Let be crystal fucking clear here. There was and is no evidence of widespread corruption in the 2020 election. That is why Trump lost over 60 court cases in his pursuit of over turning the election, and why his lawyers could never supply any evidence when the Judges demanded that they do so in a court of law..That's how it works here in Merica mutherfuckers.

And you do realize that the conversation that Daniel claims he had with the "candidate in a neighboring county that clearly lost due to cheating" didn't actually happen?
