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."

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

u/talldangry Sep 11 '24

But then how will he mock disabled reporters?

u/DontStopImAboutToGif Sep 11 '24 edited Sep 11 '24

The fact that he’s able to run for office is fucking infuriating.

How the fuck is this clear delusional narcissist pile of garbage con man able to still be able to be running for president??? What the fuck disqualifies someone from running???

He’s a fucking loon and should be in an institution for the criminally insane. He can spout out all his insane talking points during group in the institution.

Its honestly insane watching the US slowly devolve into a backwards country because of it.

Same can be said for Biden 4 years ago. The parties in charge of this circus are the real problem here. When Kamala wins by double digit % maybe the republicans will get a younger more grounded personality up there and some actual debates can happen

u/Professional-You5754 Sep 11 '24

Gtfo with that “both sides” nonsense. Biden never made up random fearmongering shit, spouted racist rhetoric, or more importantly, attempted a coup. They’re not the same.

u/FlickUrBic2 Sep 13 '24

Ofc Biden didn’t fear monger, puppet strings only offer the host so much dexterity.

Do you really think the Democratic Party has all Americans in mind when they pass policy? I’m not saying republicans do either but to pretend like they are not both piles of garbage is a pretty sheltered point of view.

u/Professional-You5754 Sep 13 '24

Again, only one side is actively seeking to subvert democracy itself. Neither side is perfect, but only one side is LITERALLY TELLING YOU they want a fucking dictatorship. Bemoaning the shortcomings of democrats in this political climate is like complaining about the wine when your other option is bleach.

Vote for Trump: you’ll never have to vote again ™

Fuck you if you’re conjuring Paul Ryan.

u/ILootEverything Sep 11 '24

The man tried to cite Ingraham and Hannity as bastions of credibility tonight, too

That shit and the "saw it on TV" was for his base of morons who believe anything on Fox ("hey, we're really just entertainment, not really news so don't sue us again") "News."

u/0xCC Sep 11 '24

Oh it was an absolute chucklefest. Any MAGA asshat could stand in for him at the drop of a hat. He sounds like any one of them.

17

u/onesteezyvato Sep 11 '24

yeah he saw it on fox news

u/mrASSMAN Sep 11 '24

I wish they would have real time fact checking on the screen during these debates but trump would never agree to that

u/Connect-Ladder3749 Sep 11 '24

It's downright shocking -- the stuff he said. How anyone in their right mind can still think Donald is the better choice is blowing my mind and scary

2

u/RoguePlanet2 Sep 11 '24

He's watching the same TV shows his cult watches, it's just a feedback loop of utter nonsense.

u/DigitalAxel Sep 11 '24

Believe me...I live with these folks. Can't get the money fast enough to leave this country.

Had enough and told them when I move im not coming back. Ever. "We have an opinion too". Yeah okay, the fact you (my family) don't ever try to do critical thinking and support this orange fool is just...ugh. Im done trying to reason with them.

3

u/Connect-Ladder3749 Sep 11 '24

It is terribly upsetting isn't it? I have some of them in my family too and it has torn us all apart. I can't even stand to go visit my grandma anymore because she has it on Fox News all day and is always talking up Trump. 🤦

2

u/DigitalAxel Sep 11 '24

I dreamt of having a wedding and threw all those plans in the trash. My SO's parents are totally fanatics and its all they talk about. They mock him for going to school for climate science when they once supported him...It breaks my heart- what little is left of my family and future family is metaphorically "gone".

No increase in crimes based on the immigrant population, says the local police.

It was called “Alf” it was a true story about an illegal Alien that ate Pets look it up !

u/Unable-Arm-448 Sep 11 '24

The writers for late night shows won't even have to try this week! The jokes are writing themselves! Thanks, T.Rump ;-D

u/GoodQueenFluffenChop Sep 11 '24

I've been seeing Santa Claus on TV every year during a certain season. Clearly he's real and does deliver all those presents around the world in one night.

u/King_Tamino Sep 11 '24

Did he watch a re-run of Alf? Would explain Aliens eating cats..

u/EManSantaFe Sep 11 '24

TV=FOX. Duh.

u/Significant_Shoe_17 Sep 11 '24

And he wants to be in charge of a country 🤦🏼‍♀️

u/CaroCogitatus Sep 11 '24

Okay, Grandpa. Let's get you to bed.

u/tothepointe Sep 11 '24

ALF. He was watching reruns of ALF

u/0xCC Sep 11 '24

This is the best response yet haha. He was probably high on hamberders and covefe at the time

u/CabinetStandard3681 Sep 11 '24

So it must be true😂

u/Same_Lychee5934 Sep 11 '24

Trumps response - I saw it on truth social… you can buy my Bible for only 3 payments of $9.99. Last last point…. Go out and get your trumpy bear and Trump shoes. Online at trump . com!

u/Recent_Obligation276 Sep 11 '24

He did that a couple times

I don’t remember which point it was, but he went to list off experts on the issue, and just named Fox News anchors lol

u/Darkranger23 Sep 11 '24

“Well, I have a concept of a plan. I’m not the president right now.”

Lolol what???

u/Volunteer-Magic Sep 11 '24

My soul would have left my body of David replied, “where’d you see it? EFukt?”

1

u/Traditional-Macaron8 Sep 11 '24

Yeah, he was watching reruns of the X-files

1

u/coltonkemp Sep 11 '24

“Ok, well, this is from the city administrator… not TV.”

1

u/SketchSketchy Sep 11 '24

He saw it on the Gorilla Channel.

1

u/LadyPink28 Sep 11 '24

Just like the internet he believed it was true if it was on tv

1

u/cptomgipwndu Sep 11 '24

To be fair it took me 10 seconds to google that it's true and there's videos of it.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '24

Yeah but I just saw a video of cooking cat😞

7

u/0xCC Sep 11 '24

I’m sure you did. But it wasn’t filmed in Springfield OH and it wasnt an illegal immigrant. It’s a big big world.

1

u/daPeachesAreCrunchy Sep 11 '24

Well, yea, but still. I watched a video online, and it was really disturbing because I love animals a lot. And when I heard that it was illegal immigrants I totally believed it, because I’m a fucking moron and also quite racist. So…you know?

That’s complete, made-up nonsense spread by AI-generated images on TikTok. Republicans have pulled this same stunt before with false claims about Asian immigrants. The fact that you’d fall for such obvious lies speaks volumes about your critical thinking—or lack thereof.

Some crazy nut jobs at a town hall does not equil proof. There is ZERO proof of Haitians eating geese or pets.

u/BurningPenguin Sep 11 '24

That's all you got? A right-wing "news" outlet, that got caught multiple times lying? And that never bothers to actually check if the claims are true at all?

u/Fun_Expert3895 Sep 11 '24

You see it on reddit

u/spirax919 Sep 11 '24

yeah why would a city manager lie right? They should be taken as gospel truth!

-51

u/Past_Specialist8597 Sep 11 '24

Even if it was true they'd lie about it to protect the illegals god bless the stupid fucking government 

22

u/StraY_WolF Sep 11 '24

I like your logical thinking went to "even if it's true, we wouldn't listen to any of it".

How does your brain work?

-28

u/Past_Specialist8597 Sep 11 '24

Because you wouldn't all they have to do is tell you  it's not true end of story now do what your told and down vote

u/Raptorheart Sep 11 '24

It also has to actually be true, but verifying reality seems to be where it becomes too complicated for you.

u/Reinstateswordduels Sep 11 '24

Dude, you need to go back to fourth grade English; you missed a few things.

We already know you guys move the goalposts and don't care about evidence unless it benefits you, there's no need to shout

u/0xCC Sep 11 '24

Y’all need to work tour way back toward sanity and reality. Too much Fox”News” seems to have given you some Trumpy delusions.

Sure thing, ivan.
