Today I’m reading MAGAts who are saying Trump handily won that debacle.

That doesn't really apply because a football game is objective.

It's possible to subjectively lose a debate, and it's possible to objectively lose a debate. Trump's team is trying to portray last night's objective loss as something that's subjective.

NSFW!

It all makes sense now.

Trump is trying to say that ABC provided Kamala with the questions beforehand and accidentally admits that his impression was "wow, she really seems to have good answers to all of these questions they're asking, it's as if she prepared".

I mean... dig up, stupid.

My co-worker actually had little to say, but otherwise overheard out in the back beyond of rural Illinois:

3 on 1 <check>
Always cutting Trump off <check>
Fact checking Trump only <check>
They are eating pets based on news reports <check>
They have aborted babies in Minnesota at 9 months <check>
Lesser of two evils - Trump <check>

Hold your pets extra tight tonight.

anyone still supporting Trump is dumb

this isn't about sides or politics...sorry, you are dumb, as in less intelligent than the average person (which is a pretty low bar)

There's a wild accusation on social media with zoomed in photos of Harris' ear and earring, comparing it to some sort of covert listening device people found available for purchase on some site. Where do these people even find this stuff?

This statement isn't just wrong, it's dangerously wrong. There are times he speaks incoherently, sure, but most of the time he's speaking coherently but slamming you with an avalanche of lies. To disregard those lies as "incoherent speech" is playing right into his hands.

They are clearly Tiffany earrings - as shown in the article.

The earrings MAGA is claiming it to be don't look the same at all, plus they are from a kickstarter campaign and didnt even make it to production.

Meanwhile, others (like Trump) are saying that she got the questions ahead of time. Which is it, people?

It doesnt really matter, I think they both came off like clowns.

The problem is, Trump's supporters were the only ones who bought tickets for the Circus.

I think it’s very telling that no one refuted or had any explanation for the issues that I brought up about Kamala and her debate, and instead are focusing on the “but Trump!” straw man.

Makes me feel like the Israel/Hamas thread where any criticism of Israel gets labelled by certain posters as pro or supporting Hamas to deflect, rather than just looking at Israel’s actions and trying to hold them accountable.

I have no clue how you could interpret what I say as “playing right into his hands”. It’s not like I would accidentally vote for Trump because I’m discounting what he’s saying. It’s just that it doesn’t affect me in any way with his babbling, lying, and stupid rhetoric. I just also feel like it’s fair to criticize Kamala.

It's funny hearing Trump claim that she must have had the questions ahead of time because "she had all the answers". You are supposed to have the answers, that is the point. You prepare your answers ahead of time because any reasonably intelligent person can anticipate what questions will come up. But to him, the concept seems impossible. Seriously, everyone knows what the issues are and none of the questions should have been surprising.

Last week they were making fun of her for how much time she was taking for debate prep, insisting Trump didn't need it.

Tulsi Gabbard and Laura Loomer prepping you. LOL.

He has the concept of an answer. Maybe.

[Playfair]

It is going to be interesting. I don't think it is as clear cut as some here would like to think. It seems a lot closer then we may want. Either way, after the election it will be interesting what happens in the States. There is a lot at stake.

It's hard to believe that this is his 3rd time in a row running.

Maybe it's the people who keep voting him as the Republican candidate are the ones eating the pets.
