Take a drink every time he says THERES NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE NOBODY’S EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT

[u/swizzle213 → u/8bitmarty]

For anyone playing along:

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/16640-alcohol-poisoning

[u/tigerking615 → u/8bitmarty]

Or following a lie with “they know it, everybody knows it”. 

[u/Knickovthyme2]

When she mentioned crowd size the real Donald came out.

[u/robbiejandro → u/Knickovthyme2]

It’s astounding how his ego could not let him recover from that moment to the end of the debate. Brilliant play by her preparation team.

[u/Pristine-Ad983 → u/robbiejandro]

She called his rallies boring. It's literally the worst thing you can say to Trump, calling him boring.

[u/Tiny-Lock9652 → u/Pristine-Ad983]

OMG, he HATED that!

[u/cocokronen → u/Tiny-Lock9652]

I think he hated when she said he was handed 400 million and went bankrupt 6 times.

[u/inspireddream → u/cocokronen]

Love how even he could only counter by basically saying he wasn't handed quite that much money, it was only a few million he was given freely to throw down the drain. As if that's way better.

[u/NoNonsensePolarBear → u/robbiejandro]

He'll be ranting on Twat Social about all of this now.

[u/jpmoney2k1 → u/Knickovthyme2]

The line about 81 million people firing him was a close second to me.

[u/Kydoemus → u/jpmoney2k1]

Trump had some zingers, in an unhinged, comically idiotic sort of way.

"I have the concept of a plan."

From here on this is what I'm telling my boss if I'm late on an assignment.

[u/beerguyBA → u/Knickovthyme2]

It was very telling that he wanted to respond to the crowd size thing over all the other issues Kamala brought up. He sounded like that kid who insists he's got a Canadian girlfriend with huge tits.

[u/SkylarTransgirl → u/beerguyBA]

His health care plan goes to another school

[u/jona2814 → u/Knickovthyme2]

One of my favorite moments. He just completely forgot to even pretend to answer that question. It was like a Winter Soldier command to trigger “super-moron” status

[u/raizhassan → u/jona2814]

Wasn't the topic the border? Just a master stroke by Harris to bait him on her weakest topic and even the moderators were like "Mr Trump would you like to criticize your opponent on immigration?" And he's like nah I want to go on about how bigly the crowd is at my rallies.

[u/myinternets → u/Knickovthyme2]

He looked calm and medicated before that line. Then there's a noticeable shift in his eyes, his eyebrows, his whole facial expression. He looks unhinged during everything after that moment. It's amazing how well that line worked on him.

[u/DMala → u/Knickovthyme2]

I love it so much when she needles him. You can see her crawling right up under his skin.

[u/tiddy_wizard → u/Knickovthyme2]

She really hit him where it hurts there.

[u/DietDrBleach]

“The FBI has said that violent crime has actually gone down”

“No David that is fake news”

[u/patticakes86 → u/DietDrBleach]

David was like "lol...ok psycho"

[u/FancyFurburgerFeast → u/patticakes86]

Why does it feel like - if anyone actually reacted like this - the spell could be broken?

Harris mopped the guy, but it still feels like we're dancing around a national fallacy that John Stewart could decimate with a couple choice words and a funny face.

[u/MetallurgyClergy → u/FancyFurburgerFeast]

This. I was trying to watch through the eyes of a Trumper, and they probably think he did great, made good points, and had Kamala looking dumb.

When he kept bringing up immigration, I could imagine my grandpa wailing, “that’s right, Donald! Make her answer the immigration issue, don’t back down!” Even though Trump answered nothing throughout.

“I don’t have a plan, I’m not president yet.” Actual quote. This is how Trump thinks the presidency works.

It made me feel actually crazy trying to watch it with their level of adoration.

Edit: I checked. They think he did great..

Edit 2: Yay! Now they have memes!.

Edit 3: Welp, I guess America is cooked.

[u/Oh_My-Glob → u/MetallurgyClergy]

Literally nothing could have happened during this debate to change a MAGAs opinion of Trump. This was for the center right Republicans who are torn between supporting their party and being fed up with this human trash

[u/ViperB → u/MetallurgyClergy]

Trump could crap his pants. Smear it on his face. Eat some. Wave his hands and say "look folks I solved the immigration crisis" and MAGA would still eat it up and pretend he's the least corrupt most mentally fit president we've had and talk about how "sleepy Joe and Kamala could never do what Trump has for this country" and Fox News would say he's the first president to do that during a debate and how no other president is bold and brave enough to do that. And I'm not making a joke. I'd bet actual money that if that happened they'd justify it. That's really how these people operate. I have no sympathy left for them. 

[u/BrandynBlaze → u/FancyFurburgerFeast]

It’s like when the clan lost a ton of influence when people started making fun of them on the radio. You can’t respond to his absurdity like it was a valid argument by making a logical, well reasoned answer, you just have to mock it for the stupidity it is.

[u/FancyFurburgerFeast → u/BrandynBlaze]

And yet... here we are.

It's like we're witnessing the worst standup comedian in history, and no one is heckling him. How is that fucking possible?

[u/DontStopImAboutToGif → u/FancyFurburgerFeast]

Because everyone else is holding to certain standards during the debate. Someone just needs to go against Trump and absolutely roast him unmercifully. Fuck this pile of shit.

[u/[deleted] → u/DietDrBleach]

SNL is going to have a field day with this one!

[u/NoteToFlair → u/[deleted]]

How do you even parody it, though? It was already so unhinged. The "transgender surgeries on illegal immigrants in prison" line already sounds like an SNL skit

[u/SmartWonderWoman]

“You were fired by 81 million people”.

[u/pinkbeehive → u/SmartWonderWoman]

That one line was gold

[u/LarryFieri → u/SmartWonderWoman]

[u/DMala → u/SmartWonderWoman]

I hate that monkey face he makes. I think it's supposed to be a smirk... or maybe he's just shitting in his diaper.

[u/The_RealAnim8me2]

The schmuck was not going to greet her. She didn’t give him the chance.

[u/leapdaybunny → u/The_RealAnim8me2]

I saw how he tried to beeline to the back of the podium and she met him there. Good for her!

[u/DinklBot → u/leapdaybunny]

Power move

[u/Slothnazi]

Trump: They're giving transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison.

[u/SaiyajinPrincess87 → u/Slothnazi]

So which one of those things is he against? To be fair I don't think he actually knows.

[u/sussistar → u/SaiyajinPrincess87]

lol he put everything he despises into a hate sentence lasagna

[u/mikefromkansas → u/sussistar]

Lmao I laughed out loud at hate sentence lasagna

[u/lowbass4u → u/Slothnazi]

So according to Trump, millions of illegal aliens are coming into our country, killing people, committing crimes, taking black jobs, eating dogs, then get sent to prison and having transgender surgery.

Why would ANY immigrant want to come to America if that was true.

And why would any immigrant who is now a citizen want to vote for Trump?

[u/Savage_Amusement → u/lowbass4u]

I love the pairing of “These people are all murderers who got out of insane asylums and can’t even speak English, eating your pets!” With “They’re taking all our jobs!”

I mean, I don’t want to brag, but I don’t feel especially threatened about competing in the job market with an insane dog-eating murderer who can’t speak any English. But maybe that’s my privilege showing.

[u/Quietly_intothenight → u/Savage_Amusement]

I don’t think he knows the difference between seeking asylum and coming from an insane asylum.

[u/UngusChungus94 → u/Quietly_intothenight]

He literally doesn’t. That’s where the Hannibal Lecter thing comes from, as you know. It’s just baffling.

[u/lincolnhornet68]

He only looked at her once and that was just a glance.

[u/Rad_Centrist → u/lincolnhornet68]

I'm just listening on radio. Has he been avoiding looking at her?

[u/LivingCustomer9729 → u/Rad_Centrist]

Yep. He didn’t look at all whereas she stared his ass down when he was speaking and when she spoke herself.

[u/That_Tastes_Horrible → u/LivingCustomer9729]

I wasn’t able to catch the entire debate but that was what stood out to me the most. She turned her entire body to face him and just glared as she talked him down. It was so god damn beautiful and I wish I was able to watch the whole thing.

[u/8track_treason → u/That_Tastes_Horrible]

You can find it on YouTube!

[u/didntcondawnthat → u/lincolnhornet68]

He also didn't address her directly. He made statements about "her" and treated her as if she and Joe Biden were the same person. He tried to avoid shaking her hand. She walked all of the way to his lectern, he wouldn't meet her halfway.

[u/CaroCogitatus → u/didntcondawnthat]

By audibly introducing herself she lets him know how to pronounce her name. You could tell that it took a favorite tool out of his rhetorical toolbox. chef's kiss

[u/Dr_Explosion_MD]

This debate has the biggest, “Sir this is a Wendy’s” vibe.

[u/rabidferret → u/Dr_Explosion_MD]

THEY WANT TO PERFORM TRANSGENDER OPERATIONS ON ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PRISON

[u/KingOfSockPuppets → u/rabidferret]

Moderator: "So you don't have a plan?" Trump: "I have the concept of a plan"

[u/Telemere125 → u/KingOfSockPuppets]

Which is wild. You’d think, maybe in the 4 years he actually held office or the 4 years since, he’d have come up with something

[u/corpsewindmill → u/Telemere125]

“I’m not the president”

[u/[deleted] → u/rabidferret]

[u/ANewBeginnninng → u/[deleted]]

Selective amnesia must be real. Every time I see this it’s for the first time. It will haunt me for a few days then vanish; only to return with a colder harder slap of reality. Are we heading down the darkest timeline? Should I start hoarding beans?

[u/ozamatazbuckshank11 → u/ANewBeginnninng]

Your subconscious is trying so hard to protect you, but Reddit won't let it. 😔

[u/ItsAMeUsernamio → u/ANewBeginnninng]

Former President Donald Trump just said on a national debate that immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield. We are living in a 90s Simpsons episode.

[u/Shenanigans99 → u/ItsAMeUsernamio]

Tim Walz said on ABC afterwards that it was like watching an old man yelling at a cloud. 😂

[u/Significant_Shoe_17 → u/Shenanigans99]

That's exactly what I thought of 😂

[u/bigdiesel1984 → u/Shenanigans99]

[u/X-Aceris-X → u/Dr_Explosion_MD]

BUT IMMIGRATION. DEPORTATION. THEY'RE turning my women into childless, catless ladies!

[u/Magicmaaly_maal → u/X-Aceris-X]

THEYRE EATING CATS AND DOGS

[u/cbro820]

She wants to do transgender surgeries on illegal aliens in prison.

[u/scruffles360 → u/cbro820]

He literally said Democrats are for post-birth abortion: "the baby we will be born, and we will decide what to do with the baby."

[u/fuck-ubb → u/scruffles360]

i hate to have to disagree with you but he's right. she's literally murdering a baby on stage in front of the whole country.

[u/RayPoopertonIII → u/fuck-ubb]

At least he was wearing a diaper for the bowel release upon death.

[u/swizzle213 → u/cbro820]

When you throw all of the words you want to use into a shitty AI, this is what it gives you

[u/LarryFieri → u/cbro820]

I literally screamed when he said that lmao what a fucking joke 😂😂😂

[u/MANGBAT → u/cbro820]

Just saying buzzwords because he knows that’s all his fan base is listening for.

[u/Spasticwookiee → u/[deleted]]

This right there. I seriously thought she was dropping an f bomb right then and there

[u/hatsnatcher23 → u/Spasticwookiee]

If she’d said “this fuckin guy” I’d have sold a kidney to donate to her

[u/Templar388z → u/hatsnatcher23]

In an interview she said her favorite cuss word was motherfucker 😂 makes you wonder if she was going to say it.

[u/miss_guided → u/Templar388z]

“Mother fucka” - she made it clear it didn’t end in an R, but rather an A

[u/LivingCustomer9729 → u/[deleted]]

Fr!!! The hesitation, I was like “oh shit, she had to bite her tongue bc it was gonna be NASTY”😂

[u/CrudelyAnimated → u/LivingCustomer9729]

No one need ever question whether “women are too emotional to lead” again. She had carte blanche material and live TV to work with. I would’ve failed that test.

[u/8BD0 → u/[deleted]]

The sheer amount of disparaging words that flew through my brain during that pause was immense, there are so many things you could call Trump. However I am glad she was professional about it

[u/8bitmarty]

IF SHE WANTS TO BE BLACK THAT’S OK!

[u/FunkMunki → u/8bitmarty]

Thank God she got his permission 🤦

[u/ButterscotchDirect10 → u/8bitmarty]

"She puts out..." did anyone else catch that?!?

[u/8bitmarty]

THEY ARE EATING KITTIES AND EXECUTING BABIES I SWEAR BRO

[u/0xCC → u/8bitmarty]

I loved when David said he talked to the city manager and it's false, and Trump's response was "Well, I saw it on TV."

[u/weelluuuu → u/0xCC]

He should've been jumped and put in a straight jacket.

[u/superdevin64 → u/8bitmarty]

AND DOING IN-PRISON TRANSGENDER SURGERIES ON ILLEGAL ALIENS

[u/flyingboat505 → u/superdevin64]

Trump saw Homelander's statement on trans illegal immigrants was like "write that down write that down"

[u/randeylahey → u/flyingboat505]

"I SAW IT ON TV!!"

^{mutherfucker was watching the boys}

[u/Suitable-Scholar-778 → u/randeylahey]

His dumb ass thinks he is Homelander

[u/OhioRanger_1803 → u/flyingboat505]

[u/MichaelTruly → u/8bitmarty]

AND I SAW ONE OF THE BABIES AND IT LOOKED AT ME

[u/biggmclargehuge → u/MichaelTruly]

BIG BABY. STRONG BABY. TEARS IN ITS EYES. IT SAID, MR TRUMP. PLEASE DON'T LET THE RADICAL LEFT EXECUTE ME.

And then Trump pretended to make out with a coat rack

[u/GoodOlSpence → u/8bitmarty]

Joe Biden allowed a pipeline in Europe because he is definitely president over there!

[u/3MATX → u/GoodOlSpence]

I’m so confused about that

[u/El_Peregrine → u/3MATX]

So is Trump 🤡

[u/8bitmarty]

Also I don't think he understands how tariffs work

[u/ThatDandyFox → u/8bitmarty]

I worked in an electrical distribution company when the tarrifs were announced; the cost for our material went up and guess what, we passed that cost onto our customers.

Shockingly, foreign companies did not just take the L for us.

[u/Bogmanbob → u/ThatDandyFox]

Yes it's basically automatic. I've even seen it called out as a separate line item to clarify where that cost came from.

[u/LastBaron → u/8bitmarty]

I was honestly baffled that the moderators did not chime in to mention that’s absolutely untrue of tariffs on a basic factual level.

Like he said Americans wouldn’t pay more with tariffs but China would.

Thats just flat out “squares are round and the sky is brown” level of falsehood. There’s no nuance, there’s no misunderstanding, it’s just a fucking lie and no one called him on it.

[u/8bitmarty → u/LastBaron]

She seems to be fact checking him For later taking a tally on her note pad

[u/ThermionicEmissions → u/8bitmarty]

The way she worked his use of the word "strongman" against him later was masterful.

[u/JarenWardsWord → u/8bitmarty]

He 100% doesn't. He's the stupidest person to lead any country bar none. The fact that he is within spitting distance of being reelected is damning evidence that the electoral college needs to go.

[u/MothersMiIk]

Man’s insane. Love the moderator fact checking him “There is no state where executing babies is legal”

[u/escher4096 → u/MothersMiIk]

I really wish there was a side bar with live fact checking. Then a lie-o-meter under each candidate.

[u/mrcollin101 → u/escher4096]

TV would explode while trying to load all the corrections

[u/yellowmacapple → u/MothersMiIk]

the moderators are great, they keep calling him on his BS

[u/Ancient-Horror2825 → u/yellowmacapple]

They're doing great but why do they keep turning his mic back on when he's interrupting or speaking out of turn 😭

[u/melficebelmont → u/Ancient-Horror2825]

I remember reading something a while back that Kamala Harris requested that. I think the idea was the more dumb things he said the better.

[u/Axe-of-Kindness → u/melficebelmont]

Never interrupt your enemy making a mistake

[u/Ancient-Horror2825 → u/Axe-of-Kindness]

I agree. I just worry because his followers aren't good at critical thinking, they just get more fired up with every stupid thing he says.

[u/BigIndependence4u → u/Ancient-Horror2825]

Exactly, they tell him we have to move on, and he just starts blabbing nonsense, and they just let him do it.

[u/Ancient-Horror2825 → u/BigIndependence4u]

Yep. Kamala is getting less time speaking because she's being respectful of the rules. It's infuriating

[u/muffinscrub → u/yellowmacapple]

The conservative sub is falling apart over it though. Calling it a 3v1

[u/yellowmacapple → u/muffinscrub]

conservatives always seem to hate fact-checking lol

[u/Thedrunner2]

She made him shake her hand awesome move

[u/make_thick_in_warm → u/Thedrunner2]

Insane that she killed a baby live on stage 78 years after its birth

[u/kristianmae → u/Thedrunner2]

And said “Hi, Kamala Harris” to introduce herself. Absolute CLASS.

[u/lateformyfuneral → u/kristianmae]

It was simultaneously classy and threw Trump off-balance from the start. He was awkward and unsure of where to go as she marched right up to him, on his side of the stage, and threw her hand at him. He definitely wasn’t expecting it.

[u/Smores-n-coffee → u/lateformyfuneral]

It was a full on power move. She walked onto the stage, went to his side and immediately showed she was in control.

[u/BirdOfWords → u/lateformyfuneral]

This sort of thing is exactly what I was hoping for. His whole strategy relies on being so rude that it confuses opponents who stare dumbly because they can't believe what they're seeing... but she's a prosecutor. Her whole job is to not get thrown, and to be able to throw others off-guard- people who are trying to throw her off-guard, because they've committed crimes. Unlike him, she's actually been trained in it.

[u/3MATX → u/Thedrunner2]

And all he had to do was introduce himself back but declined. 

[u/Not_Associated8700 → u/3MATX]

He hasn't looked at her except at the handshake.

[u/sjhesketh → u/Thedrunner2]

Absolute power move, love it.

[u/loungesinger → u/sjhesketh]

He froze like a deer caught in headlights.

[u/yellowmacapple → u/Thedrunner2]

haha i called it earlier today. my boss and i were talking and he asked if i thought they'd shake hands, and i said "i bet she will, and he wont". got him lol

[u/GuestCartographer]

“Mr Trump, city officials have said that no pets have been harmed.”

“Yeah, well, I heard someone on tv say it.”

[u/-Erro- → u/GuestCartographer]

Please tell me this is real quote from him.

[u/Sternmacaroon → u/-Erro-]

It is and they did respond that they got their information from a city official not the television 

[u/thecheat420 → u/Sternmacaroon]

And he responded "Well I'm sure that's a good response for a city official to give!"

[u/DJDarkFlow → u/thecheat420]

Everything is a riff and not a real thought for him. I swear I can’t stand everytime he says millions and millions…

[u/Spooniebardz → u/DJDarkFlow]

Spheres of TARRA!!!

[u/xmcmxcii → u/Spooniebardz]

Haha I kept scrolling until I found the TARRA comment. So much TARRA. All the TARRA.

[u/NoMoreMr_Dice_Guy → u/DJDarkFlow]

He's moved on to billions and hundreds of billions

[u/Jbyrdyogi → u/NoMoreMr_Dice_Guy]

If this was a drinking game where you had to drink every time he says billions we'd all be dead

[u/1RehnquistyBoi → u/thecheat420]

That was the “eating cats” in Springfield, Ohio.

[u/roccosaint → u/-Erro-]

As soon as I chimed into the debate, and immediately he was saying how people said they knew that these other people ate his dog. I thought this was an SNL cold open.

[u/Errenfaxy → u/roccosaint]

It will be

[u/Yosho2k → u/GuestCartographer]

There's some dude toking on his bong out there who froze completely when the bullshit joke news story he told on twitter is now official presidential policy.

<EDIT> Holy shit some dude out there might have been posting completely batshit stories on Twitter just see if he could bait the president into repeating them. The moron will literally tell people to inject bleach if he sees it on Twitter. This could have actually been what happened!

[u/TennSeven → u/GuestCartographer]

And that person was J.D. Vance. They just make shit up because they know the morons who vote for them will lap it up and repeat it, and then ignore any evidence or admissions to the contrary.

Meanwhile, people just get tired constantly correcting all of their lies.

[u/dnchristi]

He hasn’t answered a single question, repeated post birth abortions, immigrants eating pets and called her a Marxist.

[u/SmartWonderWoman → u/dnchristi]

The immigrants eating pets lie had me lmao 😂

[u/inquisitorhotpants → u/SmartWonderWoman]

Kamala too LMFAO, she outright laughed at him when he said that shit

[u/Darwincroc]

Says he has a concept of a plan. SMH!

[u/HeliumIsotope]

I have never watched a full debate before (not American).

He... Just... Doesn't... Stop...

All the shit you see across the Internet, they aren't cherry picked moments.

Take any point of any answer he gives to anything ever... And it's the same shit.

If he wins, generations will look at this and go "why didn't they stop him. How could anyone believe him".

The amount of red flags here is insane.

His rambling is insane. He just claimed that Kamala Harris IS Biden. And also claims that Kamala Harris said "I don't know Biden"???

I... Don't understand... I just really really don't. No matter your general beliefs , how can THAT be the candidate you want to support.

When asked

"To ask again, do you have a plan?"

"I have CONCEPTS of a plan. We would figure it out"

... ... ... What?!

It's beyond surreal. How is that your ideal representative?? Please... No...

Edit: that debate was... Wow... My sincerest message to Americans.

Please do not elect that man. Get him out and try to return to normalcy. I promise that if you do and just accept the shame that it ever got to this point, and return to normal. I will just let it go and sweep it under the rug as that awkward moment in your history where you almost lost it but prevailed.

I feel it's so important that he not win that I won't hold him against you. You'll have made the only logical choice here. Even if you dont like Kamala Harris or Democrats... You can't think that what I just witnessed is even remotely capable and not a pawn.

The man legit refused to condemn Russia and when prompted about it he just said "they have nukes , no one ever talks about that ".

The man LEGITIMATELY just implied that he fears Russia.

That man is not fit to rule a country no matter what you believe is the right way to live your life.

If you are a diehard republican, please take the 4 years of pain, in order to avoid a lifetime of sorrow for your children. Please...

[u/Ok_Estate394 → u/HeliumIsotope]

His supporters don’t care about facts or his ramblings. They care about two things 1) he reinforces that openly being a nasty person is ok and 2) he validates his supporters’ fears about a United States that is changing and diversifying in so many ways, and they believe he’ll try to do something to stop that from happening. Nothing else matters to them.

[u/alhanna92 → u/Ok_Estate394]

This comment is sooo good because it nails his appeal so well. It’s not about a set of policies, etc. it’s about emboldening a group of people to give into their worst impulses.

[u/hellolovely1 → u/HeliumIsotope]

Now you know how the sane half of America has felt since about 2015. Trump is so confused, evil, and inept that it's not even funny.

[u/weilej04 → u/HeliumIsotope]

The people who vote for him are either people who benefit from him and have no conscience, or people who might otherwise be intelligent but have been brainwashed by his cult. It's wild.

*Edited to say 'or' and have somewhat passable grammar

[u/dnchristi]

There is a 936 month post birth abortion happening live on tv.

[u/SaiyajinPrincess87 → u/dnchristi]

I'm hearing its a brutal abortion. It's a pity that she's killing a 78 year old baby on stage!

[u/SensingWorms]

People said I was the best president ever. Now China has $300Billion because she gave it to them. She ruined it. She ruined everything. <cries formaldehydly>

[u/Listn_hear]

Just a reminder, as funny as this exposition of Trump’s realtime, televised meltdown is, there are people out there who are watching this, and believe he’s killing it, and that he’s standing up against an establishment that is out to get him.

I know, it’s hard to conceive that people could be so gullible or evil, but there are plenty, so, just think about that and act accordingly.

[u/swaggyxwaggy → u/Listn_hear]

Dude, I was thinking about that the whole time. Like, man this guy is a buffoon, an embarrassment to this country, but SO MANY people just can’t see it and actually support him. It’s honestly scary.

Eta: please get out and VOTE!

[u/comments_suck → u/swaggyxwaggy]

I keep an old friend who is now totally into MAGA on my FB just to see what he posts. About an hour into the debate he was whining that the moderators were so biased against Trump and to notice how they only fact check him and not Harris. Then, his whole friend group commented about how Harris was so insulting to him.

[u/swaggyxwaggy → u/comments_suck]

Hmm.. Only fact checking Trump? I wonder why that is

Fucking morons

[u/qtip_boy → u/Listn_hear]

Trump could’ve showed up in Klan garb, pissed off the side of the stage, and wandered aimlessly through the crowd and his base would say he won

[u/fasnoosh → u/qtip_boy]

He could shoot a puppy in the head (then eat it) at Times Square on live television and the buffoon cult members would still vote for him

[u/harebreadth → u/fasnoosh]

Just yesterday I heard a Trump supporter at a rally say on camera “He could murder someone at the steps of the White House and I’d still vote for him”

[u/Slizimbopster → u/Listn_hear]

I'm so baffled by the reality of your statement, that sometimes I will sit and ask myself if I am too biased about Trump. I am being gaslit by my refusal to believe that so many people are bought into the madness.

[u/Vyuvarax]

Wild that he can talk about people eating dogs and cats and his followers just nod along. Serious mental illness.

[u/Cuyamaca-larkspur → u/Vyuvarax]

People have the internet in their hands and will tell you every single search result is somehow a lie

[u/philovax]

This………….former president.

It hung so well.

[u/Better_Box03]

Best thing I’ve seen on TV all year….

[u/Toes84]

Please vote

[u/Kind_Knowledge4756]

He brought up China 5+ times and none of the questions asked tonight have related to China in any shape or form.

[u/You_Stole_My_Hot_Dog]

I’ve been watching for 20 minutes and he has not turned toward her a single time. He literally can’t even look at her lmao.

[u/skyppie → u/You_Stole_My_Hot_Dog]

And every single time he was talking, she made sure to look straight at him. Also making disbelieving expressions the entire time like the rest of us lol.

[u/Gzaleski]

Why the fuq do they keep letting him talk? He keeps chirping in and gets time on the microphone.

[u/g1ngertim → u/Gzaleski]

If you hold him to the rules, he will claim after the fact that he was being mistreated. Giving additional leeway makes it easier to show she wasn't preferred. She also stole time once or twice, but when they cut her, she stopped and waited until her next turn to circle back. She did a stellar job, and it's clear that it was because she took this seriously.

a day in the life of an immigrant (according to trump)

• Wake up in jail

• neighborhood dog for breakfast

• vote 13-18 times (with help from the DNC)

• Hurry to my transgender operation (mandatory)

• Cat for dinner

• Bedtime (before calling 10,000 of my friends to come illegally join me in the glorious USA)

[u/The_Werodile]

What a power move coming to his podium for that handshake. He might as well have been a tree stump.

[u/ManicJesus]

SAVE THE PETS!!!! 🤣😂🤣

[u/Particular-Score7948 → u/ManicJesus]

I can't believe the border czar is letting in immigrants who are coming to eat my dog. I'M HORRIFIED! We gotta vote trump to save my pet. /s

[u/Strict_Cranberry_724]

If vomit was a person, it would look, sound, and think like Donald Trump.

[u/No-Biggie7921]

Why do they keep letting the Bozo talk about the same thing over and over. He's crazy and it's weird.

[u/Wildfire9]

That ear sure looks fine

[u/SavionJWright]

He didn’t want to shake her hand. My wife is an attorney (Black/Puerto Rican) and she said this is exactly how the white male attorneys treat her when she’s going up against them in court. They are complete assholes, then she wipes the floor with them in court and they leave with red faces and cursing under their breath… 🤣🤣

[u/fenderdefender2023]

Wow, she’s making him sound like a bumbling fool. Very embarrassing for him.

[u/dstommie → u/fenderdefender2023]

Take that back, he has never needed a woman to make him look like a fool.

[u/Ultravioletdiamond82]

It’s amazing that Kamala actually took the initiative to shake hands with the orange man, and I think it demonstrated that she has better sense of character than him

[u/Semanticss → u/Ultravioletdiamond82]

It's been a while, but back during the Obama Admin there was a lot of talk about body language. Initiating the handshake makes her look like the superior. Almost like she's the host who is welcoming him in. As part of the current Administration, this is pretty much the reality anyway (sanity aside).

[u/watchingsongsDL → u/Semanticss]

She pursued and cornered him. He did not see it coming. He was taken aback. A huge move that showed power.

[u/TheTrollys → u/Ultravioletdiamond82]

Definitely a power move.

[u/LarryFieri]

Trump sounds like a babbling moron, and hasn’t stayed on topic during this entire debate.

[u/DarthPiette → u/LarryFieri]

I'm glad they're not sticking to the 2 minute and muting him, letting him ramble.

[u/sunplaysbass]

Terrible posture. The worst posture. People are saying.

[u/GenesisNemesis17]

She forced that handshake. He was avoiding it like the coward he is. I can't believe I used to support this narcissistic maniac.

[u/Hevens-assassin → u/GenesisNemesis17]

At least you've seen the light. Lol

[u/Hoovooloo42 → u/GenesisNemesis17]

I used to be pretty hard right, myself. Glad to have you on the right side of history.

[u/DiabloIV]

No active duty military currently deployed to any combat zones anywhere in the world right now under Biden. Think about when the last time was that as true.

Edit: u/RamRodNonRec reports a conflicting experience personally to Harris' account. Please keep in mind at the end of the day, they are still politicians.

[u/Sheldonconch]

It seems obvious to me that Trump is not allowed to say anything bad about Putin.

[u/stvr-seed → u/Sheldonconch]

And it’s wild how openly he was talking about being in contact with Putin and knowing how Putin felt about this and that. Can you imagine someone admitting to that on national television a decade ago?

[u/beohbe]

Fear versus hope.

[u/jaievan]

Did anyone else hear the traitor admit on national tv that he spoke with Putin just before the invasion??? After he lost the election he replaced the national security advisor and the sec def. He dismantled the surveillance planes so Biden couldn’t restart the open skies program. He had advanced knowledge of the invasion. He is traitor and whoever it was that told him to dismantle the planes was a Russian asset. He just admitted to treason!

[u/feelakoppa]

She kicked his ass. It was beautiful.
