"She wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison." Again, actual quote.

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 68 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I laughed a lot at some of the absurd things he has said during this, but that claim so far has been the funniest. It’s phrased like he just ended a game of Clue but he can only communicate via conservative buzzwords.

Kamala just got a laugh out of me when she was talking about Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David and she’s talking and then chokes on her words to look him up and down to try to find a PG-rated descriptor of him and ended up just saying “and this……… former president”.

Trump... doesn't want Ukraine to win the war? He dodged the fucking question?

[–] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 84 points 2 months ago (1 children)

he also dodged if his mass deportation would involve door to door military action

When asked how he would handle Israel differently he said "It would never have happened, how Russia invaded Ukraine" sir, that's not what we're talking about

These hosts are absolutely awful. Every time he rambles and lies, they give Harris a new topic. Occasionally they ask a question and barely point out that he didn't answer it.

The hosts need to hold him to a debate, not let him play it like a Trump rally.

Harris is doing fantastic.

[–] AlexanderESmith@social.alexanderesmith.com 90 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They called him out on that insane 9mo abortion nonsense, and the people eating pets.

Honestly, that's the moon compared to usual.

Everything he said is a lie. They would spend the whole debate rebutting him.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, actually correct him and mute his mic and he would storm off the stage like a giant baby.

Oh look, Harris wanted to respond out of turn one time and the hosts shut her down after letting Trump interrupt all night.

It really deems like he has been allowed to talk for twice the time as Harris. Anyone keeping track?

Why hasn't Vice President Harris fixed everything already, she's the Vice President already so she should fix it.

So says the man that tried to get his VP hung when he dared disagree with him.

Dana Bash from CNN actually stating what should be obvious. Paraphrasing:

We're covering this because it's racist. We're talking about memes that say people of color will eat your pets. That's racism.

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.

She's baiting the crap out of him, and he keeps taking it before going off rambling. It's great.

These "moderators" should be ashamed of themselves. They couldn't be more transparently treating one participant with kid gloves and letting him talk as much as he wants.

It's what I expected, but I am still disappointed.

Trump closing statement: "She said she's going to do lots of wonderful things. Why hasn't she done it yet? They've had 3 1/2 years to fix the border and create jobs. Why hasn't she done it? She should go down to the beautiful White House and to the Capitol and get them all together, but you won't do it, because you want to do things that Americans don't want like no fossil fuels. Germany tried and now they're back to how they used to be. But I need to ask a simple question: why didn't she do it? We're a failing nation. They're laughing at us. I know world leaders very well. They come to see me and call me and tell me. We don't know what's going on. We have wars going on in the middle east and in Ukraine and we'll have nuclear war. I rebuilt our entire military. She gave a lot of it away to the Taliban. What these people have done to our country- the worst part is they let millions of criminals into our country. They are destroying the country. The worst president and the worst vice president in the history of our country."

Ho-lee fuck.

According to Trump, leaders all over the world are calling and going to see Trump to laugh at the USA.

So like, which ones? Which leaders are visiting Trump to laugh at the USA? And why is he accepting them over and over? Why are world leaders wasting their time laughing at the USA with Trump? Tell us, Trump!

Trump on his healthcare plan: "Obamacare was lousy healthcare and always was and if we come up with something, and we are, we will replace it. I inherited Obamacare because Democrats wouldn't vote to change it. If they did, we'd have a better plan than Obamacare. I had a choice as president whether or not to let it rot and I decided to tell my top people- I had very good people- some bad ones. They don't get rid of their bad ones. I had a choice to make: do I save it and make it as good as it can be or let it rot? And I saved it and it was the right thing and it will never be great and it is too expensive. We are looking into other plans. If we can come up with a better plan, we would replace Obamacare."

Moderator: "Do you have a plan?"

Trump: "I have concepts of a plan. I'm not president right now. If it's cheaper, I'll do it. We have options. You'll be hearing about it soon."

Trump on what to do to fight climate change: "They lost 10,000 manufacturing jobs this last month. They're building auto plants owned by China in Mexico and they think they can sell their cars in the U.S. because of these people. We'll put tarriffs on those cars so they don't enter the country because it will kill any auto worker. What they have done to business and manufacturing is horrible. Biden doesn't go after people because China paid him millions of dollars. Him and his son. Ukraine gave him money. All these countries give him money. Why is he so loyal to Ukraine? The wife of the mayor of Moscow gave him money!"

Yes, he asked why Biden is so loyal to Ukraine.
