Donald Trump and Kamala Harris had their first presidential debate on ABC News Tuesday night. The Republican nominee is not leaning toward doing a second one.

    I mean, Abc basically shat on the terms of the debate. Structure and muting went out the window in the first ten minutes and then they started fact checking.

    I have no complaints and think it favored both sides but it was definitely hinky.

    ABC is a network that doesn’t have an FCC license. Each individual local station is an FCC licensee. They’re the ones that are responsible for the content they air.

      Mostly true. ABC network does own licenses in some markets.

      Trump or any other political figure can’t just pull a license for no reason though. FCC is pretty good about that

        Trump has repeatedly shown he can and will ignore all the rules restricting him. Furthermore he’d have immunity for official acts. So firing everyone until someone agrees to just pull the licenses of any station named ABC is right up his alley and possible now.

          Hell he can claim ABC is a terrorist organization and then sic the federal government on them. Since he identified them as terrorists dealing with them would be considered an “official act” covered by the immunity ruling…

    The minute Trump sells even a single one of his stocks, it’s over. The price will be $0 in minutes. The only ones that are left are the ones that are betting that he’ll win in November and send the stocks soaring. If Trump even signals that he’s looking to cash out, the investors will trample over his fat ass to make sure they get out before he does.

      Unfortunately apparently a bunch of people holding vanguard ETFs will also be holding the bag since that stock got so high at one point vanguard picked it up…

      Sad vanguard user noises… :(

          I don’t unfortunately. I hope I’m not blindly spreading misinformation but it was a comment from another user who was pushing back on the idea that vanguard supports Trump in any way. They were saying it was essentially what I said, just picked up by vanguard as it hit some high mark.

            No worries. Personally based on my experiences, Vanguard funds are pretty well managed and even the riskiest funds wouldn’t be over indexed on a given stock.

            For instance, with $VOOG, only three out of the over two hundred holdings are over 10% by weight. Companies like Amazon, Meta, and Google didn’t even make the cut for 10%. Even if $DJT was included in a Vanguard fund, I would be surprised if the shares of that fund moved significantly in response to $DJT losing value.

    At this point in the disinformation campaign, there is no way to claim anything but absolute victory. Any missteps must be unfair treatment by an outsider. Any possible room for improvement is weakness, so it must just be lying press or unfair treatment.

    The thing is, they no longer need to offer evidence for any such claims. Their supporters are so conditioned, they have the same initial reactions and believe Trump can do no wrong.

    “Rigged” is a consistent word he uses when he doesn’t get his way. Let’s not forget that what he says is also a projection, so he’s totally going to try and “rig” the election where he can to give himself any advantages. And then on a loss will throw anything he can at the system to claim once again that he was cheated.

    He looked like a doddering old man who didn’t know where he was or what he was saying.

    They didn’t do great, the RNC should be investigated for elder abuse.

    Trump’s base never catches on to the endless excuses this man has. 9 years no healthcare plan. Attacking and lasing out and then expect anyone who isn’t them to be nice to them and treat them with respect lol.

      They have a victimhood complex and their chosen propagandists back up their feelings with lie after lie about how they’re all poor victims of the big bad liberal. They don’t see these things as excuses, they’re “perfectly legitimate complaints” to them :(

      They all kind of know it. It’s just that probably they think that all politicians are dirty and so they are happy with their extra dirty guy. They also like the bigotry.
