My trump debate odds.

by JD in Portland @, Portland OR, Tuesday, September 10, 2024, 17:40 (26 days ago)

1-1: Insists he’s not weird but Harris is.
2-1: Rambles on incoherently about something completely unrelated to the question and unintelligible.
5-2: Goes off that he won in 2020.
5-1: Leaves the lectern and stalks around the stage.
6-1: Calls Harris unintelligent, dumb or stupid.
8-1: Starts talking about Haitians eating pet cats in Springfield OH.
10-1: Questions whether Harris is Black.
50-1: calls Harris the N word

6 out of 8 by my count

by Jack @, Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 13:39 (25 days ago) @ JD in Portland

On the last one, he wanted to, oh how he wanted to.

I really want the Taliban story to be true

by CK08, Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 10:08 (25 days ago) @ JD in Portland

Because it's a combination of a cheesy mob movie and something out of Veep.

I keep chuckling at the idea of Trump yelling "figure it out, Abdul!" over the phone to some Taliban goon that isn't named Abdul.

I couldn't get past the image in my head of the old SNL

1-1: Insists he’s not weird but Harris is.

Don't think this one hit?

2-1: Rambles on incoherently about something completely unrelated to the question and unintelligible.

Hit on about 95% of the questions. Should've been 1/9 odds.

5-2: Goes off that he won in 2020.

Hit.

5-1: Leaves the lectern and stalks around the stage.

Didn't hit.

6-1: Calls Harris unintelligent, dumb or stupid.

Hit - he referred to Biden and Harris jointly as "weak and stupid."

8-1: Starts talking about Haitians eating pet cats in Springfield OH.

Well, he said dogs, but I'll say hit.

10-1: Questions whether Harris is Black.

Oh buddy did he.

50-1: calls Harris the N word

No, but I'll be he thought about it. And she almost called him a POS, lol.

Could've made a lot of money.

I was a masterful performance. And she called it. She said he's going to talk about immigration no matter what the question is and he did exactly that.

Every time she threw some bait at him he swallowed the hook.

I was always going to vote for her but now I'm going to donate more money to her. There was only one President on that stage and it wasn't Trump.

Trump was worse than Biden

by JD in Portland @, Portland OR, Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 08:47 (25 days ago) @ omahadomer

Joe was disoriented and his speech halting. He seemed confused the first 10 min, then settled in and was cogent, substance was fine, presentation tentative and very much coming off as an older man who is slipping.
Trump by contrast was unhinged. He spouted every wildass conspiracy theory out there. The pet eating was the most noteworthy but there were many others, like 9 states allowing “after birth abortions”, immigrant crime crisis, etc. He was confused, hostile, out of control and devoid of substance, data, facts, and any command of policy.
Ds went into an immediate public meltdown over their guy’s poor performance, while not R will say anything today. It’s a cult, not a serious political party capable of or even interested in governing.

He's not a serious person...

Obviously, that argument is preposterous to any sane, educated, and informed person. But I don't think there are all that many of those folks still undecided.

But I think the "put out" thing was a reference to the information. That he read something the she "put out" about being newly black.

Maybe. But based on his facial expression when he said it,

coupled with his reposting of the meme about both Kamala and Hilary having their careers impacted by a blowjob, I don't think so.

I think he was just flustered

by MattG, Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 09:03 (25 days ago) @ BillyGoat

And he lost his train of thought mid sentence. I mean, he clearly said it, but it was in the context of “she said she was Indian, and she puts out … then she’s black”

and he says “black” in the weirdest way, like he’s putting scare quotes around it. “blieeack”

Not unlike how he pronounces “Chee-ina”

Last night removed any doubt that the anti-anti-Trump folks and the "I'm writing in" folks want Trump to win without the moral responsibility of pulling the lever for him. Cowards, in other words.

A rational person could not look at what happened last night and think Trump is up to the job.

Nobody's lives "have been ruined" by the influx of immigrants to the town. It does create some legitimate challenges to be managed, related to schooling and other issues as mundane as safe driving on the local roads (apparently the law allows for driver's licenses to be issued to immigrants without actually passing the standard written & road tests). But let's not kid ourselves -- it could have been 15k white people dropped into a city of 60k, and it would still present a major challenge to the local infrastructure.

Also, that bearded twat doesn't give a solitary fuuuuuck about anything happening in Ohio. I guarantee that whatever meme metastasized on the internet was the first he acknowledged anything going on in little ol Springfield.

Also also, I love that people like JV are suddenly concerned about the well-being of...geese? Seriously? Anybody thinning the heard on that front is welcome in my community tomorrow.

You know what's funny?

by CK08, Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 12:21 (25 days ago) @ KGB

They could very easily have blown the driver's license thing out of proportion, and it would have least been based in truth and less obviously absurd and racist.

They can't even fearmonger about immigrants in a normal way.
