      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”.

    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.

      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?

      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.

      “Undecided” voters are just people who are too ashamed to admit they’re going to vote for Trump.

        No, there really are weird people who have no idea who they will vote for. I saw them interviewed last night. Most of them now say they will vote for Harris.

      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.

      Feels like it’s more xenophobic. Obviously one assumes many of the referenced people are brown, but they are assumed poor too and we aren’t saying it’s classist. The thing that unites all of the people implicated in the claim is that they are foreigners.

    I keep quoting this bit from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in the hopes that it will happen to Trump. It hasn’t happened yet, but if we’re lucky tonight…

    his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

      I was amused when he implied that black people’s jobs have such little worth that they could be taken by illegal immigrants from insane asylums.

        …I think that might be less far-fetched. After all, our black VP is competing for her next job with a guy who’s a few oranges short of a basket…
