"Will you shut up, man?" US Politics October 2020

Fun interview with the guy who did those Trump-talking-about-Weird-Al and Trump-talking-about-Scooby-Doo riffs, who was a conservative evangelical Christian four years ago.

What are you doing vocally that makes things... click into place?

He has a lot of shit in his throat. So it was about boosting sort of the distortion in my throat and cranking up the, um, ambient kind of gross throat noise. There’s like a hissy breathy croak in his throat. Also he has just totally blown out the top half of his head, like kind of his entire upper respiratory system with cocaine and crushed up the British Sudafed and everything all the time and, uh, screaming at 21-year-olds to take off their clothes and everything he does all day. So he’s sort of trashed his nose and his throat. So I try to close off certain nasal passages.

Everyone Gen X and up it seems fixates on the wealthy Trump of the eighties. That’s what I hear kind of all the hack Trump impressions doing, the old eighties Trump, the womanizer. In a smoother Trump voice: She’s a very beautiful woman. She’s got great legs and, you know, I’m hoping we get really close with it. I think it’d be really nice to get to know her. In his normal voice: And that’s not who Trump is now. Like, he’s the devil. And he’s old. That’s the main thing I focus on, is that this is a rasping old man who is inches from death at any moment. He’s dying. He’s inches from death and Billy Crystal has come out with the bellows from the Princess Bride and they pumped him full of steroids and give him a big shot in his ass, and he’s hanging on for dear life every moment of the day.

would you look at that - the trump crew are wearing masks tonight

ah, i see - it's because the debate commission required them to. which, uh, they also did last time, right? the trumps just didn't do it, and no one was willing to throw them out of the building

They're made of flash paper. They're going to simultaneously light them up in an attempt to blind Biden but will, instead, give themselves simultaneous second-degree facial burns.

they're lined with irresistible oats this time around

here we go.

Trump sounds like shit

so in other words he's talking

He wishes he could hide in a basement for a year & a half.

I think we could arrange that

whhyyyyy does he keep going out of his way to attack the gold star families? wtf?

he thinks they work at Golden Corral?

"C'mon. C'mon."

Lol, loved that

Plexiglass is unbelievably expensive?

Does Biden talk in terms of blue states and red states or not?

so are they really muting the non-speakers

It was clunky, but he's saying red states are getting hammered and they deserve help too.

Hasn't gotten nearly as bad as the first debate, don't know if mute is warranted.

And I wish Morbs had lived to enjoy the Giuliani news yesterday.

Hopefully he at least heard the Limbaugh news.

bet Morbs buys a day pass to Hell just for the opportunity to kick Rush in the balls

Coach Conway cooled the kook.

they're lined with irresistible oats this time around

This made me LOL

Oh here we go.. the 'emails'.

totally missed this quote from Monday:

Former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump will have their microphones muted during portions of the second and final presidential debate on Thursday night, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Monday in a decision that angered the President.

The decision came after the commission met Monday afternoon to discuss potential rule changes to the debate format. They decided that the changes were needed because of how the first debate between Biden and Trump devolved into chaos, with the President frequently interrupting the former vice president.

"I'll participate. I just think it's very unfair," Trump said when asked by reporters about the change on Monday.

What are you hiding?

yewww do. Yewwww do.

Guys, Trump WANTS to release his taxes! That changes everything.

Just making random stuff up about Joe

promise of some satisfying dopamine spikes from schadenfreude

fuckin' guy has to ruin everything

I think he just insinuated that Biden is the mafia head of all Ukraine?

Joe Biden once ate his neighbors dog

He sounds more and more Cartman-like as it goes on.

You remind me of the babe

What babe?

The babe with the power of voodoo.

Who do?

You do

18 Angry Democrats

"Trump says we're learning to live with it. People are learning to die with it" isn't exactly an all-time line but it's a pretty good one.

Biden almost made an unforced error by mentioning Burisma, but he's ju-jitsuing it okay

I don’t have poop in my butt, YOU have poop in your butt!

kristen welker is doing a great job

This whole election is a referendum over Hunter Biden.

were millions of people actually thinking of doing business with china? that seems like a rich guy thing

that makes him smart

Eh, she sucks. She raises "some people say" questions

I didn't watch the last debate but Trump is sadly about 100x more impressive tonight than what I know of it.

He seems like the Trump of 2016 with his taunty shit down pat.

sadly the final debate never moves numbers and usually is the one nobody gaf about

sadly

what was the last major election where debates actually resulted in a noticeable swing? (serious question cos I never paid attention to it growing up)

yeah she sucks: the questions are dumb, she doesn't correct his lies, and she lets him interrupt (ie showing "dominance") as soon as Biden's time finishes, over and over and over

a Thug. A THUG.
