US Politics, September 2024 -- “I’m Not Going to Apologize For Posting a Joke”

I can’t watch MSNBC live overseas, need that Walz clip rn

The "You forgot Poland" of the night.

Pretty easy response to the whining about the moderators: they gave him more time than Harris, and they cut her off more often.

Way better than his stony glare and obnoxious smirk.

he had a weird expression for a lot of the night like a little kid shitting their pants

Frownsmile

The whole debate turned on this remark. He had been making some sense before it. Full sentences. Remembering the brief. Then he started firing at anything that moved. https://t.co/lLUmnPy2yk

its so weird to see someone who is so incapable of speaking directly to voters. he refuses to do it. his whole final statement was directed at her. he never once made a statement to voters!

She did exactly what I hoped! Express policy issues, and add a statement to get Trump mad enough to rant about random shit to defend himself to where he offered nothing on policy. Damn, it's weird to get what you actually hoped for!

Taylor just endorsed Kamala. No surprise, but there it is.

Oof.

Honestly brave of her to do that when she has shows in the US during election season.

Fox is fabulous

Marco Rubio? She's babbling about Stalin and gun confiscatiom

I was kind of shocked at how easily he walked into the traps she set for him.

lol all the people who said "if you make fun of his crowd sizes he'll lose his mind" were 100% right

Taylor endorsement is game over for Trump

Trump's stock already down 7% in premarket trading in case you're wondering how his voters are reacting to this

It seems like debate prep was mostly just reading Trump’s Truthsocial posts

Just spoke with Lindsey Graham in the spin room he said the debate team
should be fired and Trump was unprepared. “disaster”

Maddow read the entire Taylor post to Walz on air

Honestly very happy for that resistance guy who looks like Eric Clapton. Real west wing episode stuff.

(Polls will move 0.8%)

oooh - congrats to Sarah McBride for clinching the Democratic nomination for the Delaware House seat!

the Harris campaign is already asking for a 2nd debate! haha.

fight night was alright, i wanted to vote for Harris in 2020 just to watch her eviscerate Trump in the debate so that was a fun time

Damn, I actually just teared up a little at Taylor’s endorsement. Really heartfelt and well written.

Same old story, same old song and dance

I'd like to give our Aerosmith-named posters a chance to respond...

Forty point difference with undecided voters on their abortion answers. Widest gap I’ve ever seen in debate dials.

NYT tomorrow: "a spirited exchange"

― go polish your nose ring (sleeve), Tuesday, September 10, 2024 7:47 PM (twenty minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink

headline is literally "Fierce Exchanges over Country's Future Dominate Debate"

Loonies on Fox are asking why they didn’t ask her about reparations

They want him to win. Biden was equally incoherent and that was not the headline.

Jesus dude

You sound like the right wingers complaining about ABC

oh no trump is in the spin room....

he's spinning. he just said it was his best debate ever.

man that was wild, at first Trump seemed relatively on message (for him at least) and Kamala I think was a little nervous, then she started laying into him on abortion and it started to shift, when she brought up his rallies it was just a full on meltdown

he keeps saying that he has won all the phone debate polls by 90%, 80%, 70%, 95%...

he is literally making it up in front of a million reporters.

… and then I did the weave! It was awesome!

its such a weird scene there!

xp literally right below the headline it says:

Vice President Kamala Harris put former President Trump on the defensive over his criminal convictions, Covid, the size of his rally crowds and more.

Mr. Trump often took the bait, responding to Ms. Harris’s critiques with a hail of misinformation and personal attacks.

one reporter said "why are you here if you won?"

dems should start asking the questions about trumps mental fitness now

i like the "worst vice president in history" line, I hope Glenn Kessler spends a few paragraphs discussing the tenure of John Breckinridge and gives him 4 Pinocchios.

Did he actually bellow “they are eating dogs” or did I imagine it

fucking lmao

I do wish they’d called him on this “every democrat wanted row returned to the states” line… does he actually believe this? Who told him this obviously deranged lie?

Trump Rally In The Spin Room

where is jd??

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song. pic.twitter.com/6icWLe1sPN

I asked this same thing a couple of weeks ago, and I'm still wondering about it.

Sorry for threads and Rupar link but this is on Fox News
