The right is doing its normal thing about this which is simultaneously claiming Trump won handily and that the whole thing was rigged against him.
Harris was wearing earrings that were disguised earpieces so she could get told what to say- which is one of those weird accusations they make after every debate and which, like "she got the questions before", seems to confuse a debate with a quiz where there can be "right" answers.
Some are also demanding legal sanction against ABC because they dared to challenged Trump's lies.
The Springfield City Manager took the time to respond, it's refreshing to hear responsibility from a community leader and the respectful calling out of BS;
‘... It’s an insult to Harris personally and democracy in general that she even had to participate in the farce of debating Trump, who should be in prison or staining the inside of a bus station toilet as God intended. However, Harris put all that aside and delivered one of the best presidential debate performances in modern political history.’
I was thinking just the first part of this a lot prior to the actual debate. That no one should have to put up with this asshole anymore at all, let alone have to endure his endless abusive bullshit in person.
She did it backwards in heels of course, and brilliantly. Still: enough of this guy. Hasn’t everyone suffered enough?
The question to Harris, “are you better off than you were four years ago” irritated me.
Apparently Americans felt they weren’t better off at the end of 4 years of the Trump presidency. But no one ever asks why would we want to go back to that.
I remember when we had to kitbash masks so we wouldn't fucking die!
People nostalgic for that just liked the narrow circumstances where they could profit, for example those who are happy with millions of people dying so they can have cheap gas (from crashed demand). It's very easy to make that calculus when only you (and people like you) are considered valid.
Four years ago? When we couldnt' find toilet paper in stores, businesses shut down, many to never reopen, unemployment hit 14%, and hospitals running out of corpse space because so many people were dying every day from COVID?
Holy crusted kryptonite, Batman! That was Amazing! I don’t want to over exaggerate but I think that will go down as the greatest debate performance in history. She cut through the gish gallop and cleaned his clock like nobody has ever done before.
Great write up about the debate. I gleefully watched Orange melt down with each zinger MVP threw at him. She intelligently answered the questions while all Agent Orange could do was garble some nonsense. I’m sure the clean up crew had to mop up a lot of flop sweat under his podium.
I didn't watch the debate, because I can't stand a single second of listening to that deranged orange fuckball, but I did follow it through live blogs and read the reports. I'm not surprised to hear Kamala kicked his decrepit old lying ass. In fact, I was expecting it.
In what timeline was the guy who shat the bed on every single debate he's been in was going to defeat a smart, highly competent, confident speaker like Harris? The pre-debate "high stakes" spin was fucking exhausting.
That was a freaking masterclass in how to debate that guy. He stepped right into every trap she laid for him. I could swear I saw a bomb go off over his head when she said people leave his rallies out of boredom.

Awesome!
I may try a new veggie place but I will need to get a sit down story about the tofu curing process. Without it, I'm undecided.

We just got off a call with our financial advisor; we are so much better off now than we were four years ago, even 5, 6, or 7 years ago.

How on earth is this a question?
If we were better off 4 years ago why did 81 million voters fire Trump?

Well done, VP Harris. Well done. 👏👏👏
How was the Orban bit real and not an SNL skit?
Another excellent column.
Thanks!

Thanks for watching that so I didn't have to. Glad it wasn't a complete shit show.
It was only a shit show for Trump
Destroy him , jail him and his enablers . Every one
"This is what happens when your debate prep team consists of Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard."
You're doing one heckuva job, Tulsi!
"He usually sounded like the creepy guy on the subway who stinks of urine and thinks the government tapped his phone."
In reality, he's the weird guy who smells like poop and thinks the government tapped his phone.

Everything about CFPAB (Convicted Felon PAB) is exhausting.
In what timeline is the "best" the GOP have to offer is Donald John Trump?
That was a freaking masterclass in how to debate that guy. He stepped right into every trap she laid for him. I could swear I saw a bomb go off over his head when she said people leave his rallies out of boredom.
“Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people, so let’s be clear about that, and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that,”
Finally... she threw his 'I got more votes than anybody in history' bullshit lie in his face and he melted.
It Was Glorious
That was a TKO right there.
Oh yeah. He lost his shit and never got it back.
Thank you for doing the [Deity of your choice]’s work and listening to all that.
No lies detected!
