This interview was stunning. He whinged and moaned the whole time about being made to wait, technical issues, other news networks, and not having his ass kissed constantly by the hosts. He did not substantially answer even one single question, and used every opportunity to speak to go off the rails on immigrants and spew lies so blatantly false that the hosts could fact check him on the spot. No Donald, innocent people don't need pardons. No Donald, there is no such thing as a post-birth abortion. Holy Christ I cannot believe how absolutely fucking retarded Trump really is.

My favorite part was when he talked about how Kamala Harris is the worst vice president of all time and did a terrible job, but then shoved JD Vance under the bus and said that VP picks are just ceremonial and that they do nothing. Like, bro, which is it?

He came out swinging.

He wasn’t there to win black votes or answer questions. He was there to shore up his base. He was there to get the media attention back on himself and away from others.

It seems to have worked.

What a fucking weirdo. Almost as strange as that couch fucker Vance. Now that’s a guy we can talk about for days. Strange strange man, I hear his kids are 1/3 couch.

John Oliver said it best ... "When you find change in a couch it's because JD left a tip."

I hope my leather couch is too kinky for his tastes

Why did it start late?

It started more than 75 minutes late. Some reported that was because Trump’s team didn’t want the event fact-checked in real time. Others, including Trump, said it was because of audio issues.

Look, I'm usually the first guy to tell you that the r-word is unnecessary.

But calling Trump a "weirdo" has left the party in shambles for some reason, it's high time we called the man a retard, especially after this charade.

Maybe we start talking in their terms more, since everything is projection with them. Oh, you love that billionaire? What a cuck. Oh, you think post-birth abortion exists? Dumb retard. Oh, you won't debate Harris? Fucking pussy's afraid to debate a girl!

The weird thing works because it elicits them to defend themselves and, because their beliefs are in fact weird as hell, they do so in the most awkward ways. Turning off normies who might have some reactionary sympathy but are on the fence. Calling them slurs or just mean things isn't going to work in the same way. It's not like no one has ever called them cowards or assholes before.

Yeah being a smarmy cunt isn't going to help her win and that's why she won't. And on behalf of the world that fucking sucks.

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Harris should maintain a professional demeanor since she's running for office.

We on the other hand can up the ante.
