I say this is the best outcome. Keep the absolute disaster of a debate the biggest thing people think about when they compare the two candidates for as long as possible.
Get fucked, Donald.
He went from orange to yellow.
with Harris’ team unsuccessfully pushing for both candidates’ microphones to stay on even when it was not their turn to answer.
Wait a minute, Harris’ team was the one pushing for always-on mics? That’s actually such a flex lol.
I think it would have been a smart choice. The rationale behind muting was trying to force both parties to having a nice, civil discussion, to force decorum upon the proceedings that formerly was just a given, but generally not respected by Trump, by his nature.
However one part of the first debate was that the muting might have saved Trump from his own worst impulses. To be sure, Biden made his own problems that were far far worse, but part of Trump looking relatively reasonable in his conduct that night was being forced only to speak in turn.
Slam dunk is if you let him put his unhinged nature and unreasonable behavior on full display, while also managing to manage him so that you are still heard.
I would not be surprised if a career in the courtroom dealing with all manner of hard to deal with people is the best prep anyone could ask for to deal with a personality like Trump.
Not really. It was always her tactic to make him go nuts. Provoking him into shouting over her would have gone along with that and just made him look bad.
Therein lies the flex - it shows how predictable and manipulatable trump is.
I see why he misses Biden so much. He got cooked in that debate.
Nothing says, “normal” and, “sane” like typing up a long rant in ALL CAPS declaring, “I WON!” while your opponent holds the gold.
Has there been a more fitting place for the “uncouth medalist biting medal” meme?
Calling it now:
Since there’s not enough time left for him to recover from this brutal ego bruise, I predict he’ll only do rallies from now on, or appearances on far-right media, because he’ll retreat to his snowglobe for reassurance for a while. He’ll avoid addressing Kamala directly, but he’ll ramp up his own network and rile up his mob. His team will struggle to rein him in, and some appearances might be cancelled.
e: once he gets tired of being reassured, he’ll double-down on the unhinged scale
This would be a good time for Kamala to keep asking for a debate and challenging him. Maybe even agree to do it on Fox to show how weak he is. Even if he accepted, I don’t think Fox would save him from another bad performance. We’ll see how polling works out I guess.
“We invited him but he was too… busy to show up.” - Kamala Harris, hopefully
Still the Vance-Walz debate Oct 1 for some potential change for either candidacy. Voters think they know both VP picks but we won’t really know who we’re dealing with til they go head to head.
If the joke is supposed to be chicken, you posted the wrong image.
A male chicken is still a chicken
And Trump is still a big ol’ cock
More like a tiny, insignificant one
Touché
Frank Costanza: Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So, who’s having sex with the hen?
George Costanza: Why don’t we talk about it another time.
Frank Costanza: But you see my point here? You only hear of a hen, a rooster and a chicken. Something’s missing!
Mrs. Ross: Something’s missing all right.
Mr. Ross: They’re all chickens. The rooster has sex with all of them.
Frank Costanza: That’s perverse.
Yes you are right, just some language confusions there.
In Danish to be called Chicken is “Kylling”, Which is the non adult bird, and the species is called Høne which sounds like Hen, but in English is the female bird.
Also in Danish when you eat Chicken it is Kylling, which is definitely not the adult bird, where the meat is dry and tough.
So when in English the meat you eat is called chicken, it either sucks or is in reality Pullet.
So why the word pullet isn’t more common, or something else describing the non adult female chicken IDK. When in 90% of cases that seems to be what is understood by “Chicken”.But I’m pretty sure when people are called chicken, it is not supposed to mean the male cock.
Pullet is obscure but poultry is a common way to refer to chicken as a food. Gotta love those multiple borrowings from Norman French.
But I’m pretty sure when people are called chicken, it is not supposed to mean the male cock.
“Chicken” has no gender, so either a rooster or hen makes the most sense depending on the gender of whoever you’re insulting.
I gotchu
Why are you sending us a cock pic?
The jowls are more similar?
Oh, this fffff… former president… /s
Trump’s campaign manager, using Trump’s phone: “yes this is definitely Donald Trump bigly president please cancel my appointment of debate thank you bye”
Full coward mode now. LOL
Trump’s advisors were reaching for any reason to convince him he won, because they know how disastrous another debate would be.
Not to worry, we will be entertained by the Walz-Vance faceoff, though I’ll admit giving TFG the talking to he’s deserved since forever ago was immensely gratifying.
Oh hell…please let Walz begin some statement with, “Son…”
Nah, he won’t do it, he’s a nice guy. But it would be glorious.
cowards gonna cowar
I get use this image nearly daily.
I’ve watched that movie too many times. I was about to comment “The line is supposed to be ‘Tommy’ since he’s talking to Tommy, The Tit”… Oh wait, it says Donny because Trump… Yeah.
Thanks I read that in jathom’s voice
BAHAHAHAHA
