The first time the moderators countered his obvious dog-whistle lies I was absolutely blown away. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Then I started laughing and didn't stop.

The correction was really well done and completely natural by both moderators, I almost didn't register what happened. Love to see it.

They barely even fact checked him in the first place. They called him on a total of, what, three things? As opposed to the probably dozens of other complete untruths he uttered, not even just about policy and so forth but actual empirically verifiable elements of reality?

Here's just what I spotted:

• Lied about not being involved with Project 2025 and not knowing what it is. We know he is acutely aware of what it is, and in fact some members of his staff were involved in its framing.
• Lied about the number of immigrants coming into the country.
• Further lied stating that other countries were "sending all their criminals and mental patients."
• Claimed people were "aborting" babies after birth (called out by moderators).
• Claimed Harris said she would ban fracking in Pennsylvania (called out by Harris).
• Lied about crime rates going "through the roof" (called out by moderators).
• Responded to this by claiming FBI crime stats were falsified by "leaving out problem cities."
• Lied about migrants eating people's pets (called out by moderators).
• Lied about inflation numbers post-pandemic.
• Lied claiming that "Biden" built the Nordstream pipeline.
• Distorted the truth by claiming he won more votes than any sitting president in the last election, failing to mention that Biden still got more.

There were probably others.

He also essentially admitted that his plan for the war in Ukraine was to just let Russia win. That should be pretty damn worrisome for anyone.

If you don’t want to be fact checked, maybe don’t repeatedly insist that Florida’s abortion ballot measure will legalize killing newborns.

No mic should ever be placed near this man again.

Conservatives are mad that "they only fact checked Trump", and yeah, there's some truth to that...

But they let him tell so many little lies unchallenged. They only fact checked him on the egregious stuff like "Haitians eat pets" and "post-birth abortions".

Harris may have said some half-truths or omitted context for a few things, but she never told a single non-truth comparable to the things Trump got fact checked for.

The worst actual post-debate criticism I've heard for Harris was that she continues to say that Trump will enact Project 2025 and a federal abortion ban as president, despite his statements denying support for these things. The thing is, Trump is a huge fucking liar, and a Republican, so yeah, she's right to keep saying what he will absolutely do as president, despite his lies to the contrary.

The problem is that no one fact checks him in his personal life, so he thinks it’s just a thing his political opponents do. But the reality is that no one thinks it’s worth the time to correct his wrong way of thinking, esp. when he can be a useful idiot and use his wrong ideas to distract from the issues at hand

It drives me crazy knowing that anyone takes this absolute clown seriously.

Should have been locked up ages ago, but seeing him this humiliated almost makes up for it.

“The press is so dishonest in this country, it’s amazing,” Trump said. “Now, I didn’t mind because frankly I was pretty sure that’s what they would do. CNN was much more honorable—the debate we had with Biden was a much more honorably run debate.”

I felt better about the one where I creamed the senile old guy. The one where a younger, Black, WOMAN was awful.

He also said that the full context of his quotes on Charlottesville make it clear that what he’d said was “absolutely perfect.”

It was a perfect phone call!

Nevertheless, Trump claimed the evening had gone well for him. “I’ve been told I’m a good debater,” he said. “I think it was one of my better debates. Maybe my best debate.”

You're right, you've never done better. Way to go, shithead.

Eat a dick, cunt.

Shut HIM down. Lying sack of shit fully believes his own shit. That is strongly indicative of mental deviance enough to disqualify any politician

I demand the shitgibbon be shutdown. Did you hear me? I demanded it!

Don't worry Mr. Orange, I called emergency services for you.
