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

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

Wtf. Oh well it’s trump getting cat called in the spin room

They’re eating the pets of the people!

I swear the 5 wildest lines in debate history were all from Trump tonight, like even ignoring the transgender alien criminals thing and the "they're coming to eat your cats and dogs" thing what the fuck was he doing saying "yeah I worked with the Taliban"

THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS

idk 19th century politics was pretty wild xp

ive wondered if The jason and steven Millers were feeding him all this bullshit Wormtongue style or if he just latches onto whatever Hannity or Tucker sez

the latter, he's like every old person slamming Fox News and right-wing social media into his veins 18 hours a day

Yeah he's always been a sponge for crazy right-wing media. To whatever degree his faculties have diminished I think it just makes it more transparent. He was almost plaintive about the dog-eating, "I saw it on TV!"

Trump got an extra five minutes. He spoke 39 times vs her 23 times. Wow.

What was the deal with that Taliban answer? Was any element of it taken from reality?

not a bad thing when your opponent is constantly punching himself in the balls

ive wondered if The jason and steven Millers were feeding him all this bullshit Wormtongue style or if he just latches onto whatever Hannity or Tucker sez

Yeah--a friend was complaining that they were letting him go on, and I suggested that was a gift.

"Look, I went to the Wharton School of Finance"--they're playing back highlights.

It is kind of funny tbh that we’re now all “debates are very important” after watching Harris put her entire foot in Trump’s ass sideways
