ABC is just letting Trump ramble now.
Strong disagree, ABC has done an excellent job at refuting his most brazen lies.
They let him respond, but then make Harris talk about something else… Journalists are already reporting that they have given him 30% more time, up to nine minutes more so far
Yeah but how many of those minutes were spent in the English language on planet Earth?
Yea… I stand by my statement from earlier in the debate but in the last ten minutes or so they seriously dropped the fucking ball - especially trying to cut off Harris when she tried to respond to bullshit Trump said when he stole time himself.
Yes. And I love it.
ABC needs to let Harris respond instead of constantly letting Trump respond and not her
Oh thank god, closing statements. My fingers are getting tired.
How can they open his mic?
i hope she can draw attention to the fact he cant answer a question without rambling through 5 unrelated topics.
He’s now claiming that’s “the weave” and it’s intentional.

So I put an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
That is so much this debate on Trump’s side. I don’t even care much about what Harris says at this point.
he cant answer a question
withoutso instead he goes rambling through 5 unrelated topics.
I don’t think I can watch it tonight. I’m feeling too anxious. How are folks feeling this evening?
Same. I have to be awake at 5AM and it’s going to raise my blood pressure too much if I watch.
I’m feeling good. Sadly, for both sides. Harris is the better speaker, but MAGA will only listen to Trump’s lies
If she fucks up once, we will never hear the end of it. He will be able to say whatever he wants.
We all know the news tomorrow will be about how Trump was confident and Harris made one statement that could be misleading if you squint hard enough. Then there will be a wet noodle fact check that is far less prominent than some article about how MAGA cultists think he won the debate.
That’s because only one side cares about doing the right thing.
MAGA is the island of lost souls. The point of the debate is not to change their minds. It is to make the stark difference between the candidates laughably obvious, so that even the moderate conservatives feel ashamed and stupid that he represents their interests, and the moderate Democrats feel comfortable mocking them for their weirdness.
Nobody felt that way about Clinton. She tried to be the better person without alienating the Trump supporters. She used words like “deplorables” when she should have said “shitbags.”
Trump supporters deserve to be alienated, just as all bigots and nazis and narcissists should be. They will not change because of a rational argument. You need to smoke them out of the crowd, and then point and laugh until they shrivel up and every child sees their humiliation, so that no one grows up thinking it’s OK to be a bigot, or that there are good people on both sides.
Trump is gonna ruin the moment
He ruined everything else
That’s what ruiners do. They ruin things. I hate ruiners. He probably would ruin the ruins if given the chance.
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.
Why are you wishing death on someone?
I used to be principled like you, but this man has the potential to cause death and destruction on a scale so unfathomably larger than one person. Would I prefer he face justice? Absolutely. But at some point “not wishing death on someone” flies in the face of the greater good of humanity
Yes, I am wishing that Donald Trump’s intestine ends up throttling his brain like in a comedic science fiction novel.
On a same level of things that are possible, I am also wishing I held the world speed record for the 100 meter hurdles.
Oh so we can wish death on people and as along as we’re not capable of making it happen it’s okay?
Stop concern trolling. The ridiculous nature of the “threat” makes it obvious they’re being completely unserious.
Yes.
Clutch those pearls harder, daddy.
Sorry… you’re asking if it’s okay to wish someone die in a way that is literally impossible? Sure, why not. Go for it.
Seeing as I can’t actually make it happen and it’s not going to happen because I wished for it, that means its okay with you for me to wish for your death?
Let’s maybe focus instead of not wishing death on people? How about I wish Trump was in jail for his crimes and wasn’t able to compete in the race.
You are welcome to wish that my large intestine becomes sentient, makes its way through my body up to my brain and then starves it with oxygen for the betterment of humanity.
Why do you think I would care about that even a little?
Careful dude. The small intestine is weak and dumb. But that large one? It’s sneaky. Just been biding it’s time until it strikes. You open that window and you might not be able to close it.
I wish stupid people were dead, yet here you are…
Why do you care more about Donald Trump than all the people who’ve died as a direct result of both his policies and his rhetoric?
Any suggestions of the best channel/link to watch it?
🍻
Gonna need something stronger than that.

I’m thinking paint thinner.
☢️💉☢️
When he’s not talking, his eyes look like he’s falling asleep.
Don’t be silly. He isn’t in court.
MF is on tranquilizers. And he’s still an asshole.
Until this very moment, I honestly didn’t believe he would show up.
Please say Childcare is Childcare again.
“She doesn’t have a plan. Take a look at her plan. She doesn’t have a plan.”
Trump logic on full display tonight.
This is really a Trump’s Greatest Hits tonight.
I just had to turn it off. He’s running on a loop
It just got hilarious. Trump is arguing with the moderator about pets being eaten.
