it's not so sunny in Philadelphia for the felon.


"They're eating the dogs, the cats!"
  That was the former president of the United States parroting wacko right-wing talking points in his debate with Kamala Harris last night.  As Americans, we should all be embarrassed that we allowed this man to become the leader of the free world. The fact that his cult still do not realize that the emperor has no clothes is baffling to me. I mean I get it, they are not the best and brightest that America has to offer, but surely they have eyes and ears. Surely they see what the rest of us saw last night: A lunatic ranting and screaming lie after lie, while his opponent on the debate stage  beat him like a runaway slave.  (Figuratively speaking.)

The felon was complaining about the moderators to his base, and he tried to blame his cluelessness on the moderators who fact- checked him when he went off the rails. (Killing new born babies? WTF?)  He is now threatening to pull ABC's broadcast license if he ever becomes president again. Honestly, if that debate was on Newsmax the results would have been the same. Harris was on her game, and he did not see it coming.  Blaming the refs because your jump shot stinks is not the way to go. Donald, maybe next time you should prepare for the debate instead of running around in the right-wing echo chamber and surrounding yourself with sycophants and cult members. 

Neilson is reporting that sixty seven million people watched the felon make a fool of himself last night. And even though he is crying a river about how unfair ABC was to him, he had five more minutes to talk than Vice President Harris. Sadly for him, objectively speaking, he still got his ass kicked. 

The debate was in my hometown of Philly, so I am going to use a Rocky quote to end this post: " You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life".  But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving".

The felon can't be moving that well today.

Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.
She hit him in a much more sensitive spot: his ego.
He couldn't deal with it, and can't deal with it, which is and has always been disqualifying for the office of the presidency.
As Hillary said, he can be baited with a tweet.

Aw, poor Trump. This was not like that fun debate back in June, facing off against a dude whose verbal abilities were degraded to the point he was a helpless punching bag, and with moderators who let Trump spew endless lies, completely unchecked.

In a real debate featuring a competent opponent and moderators who actually enforced the rules … surprise! He got his ass handed to him.

Flying Junior said...



Every time Trump spoke out of turn, the moderators brought his mic up.

One time he was shouting audibly with his mic turned off. They turned it on again out of a sense of fair play. I'm not sure how much more they could have done to accommodate him.

I wonder what part pissed him off the most about David Muir? Was it when he asked him twice if he wished for Ukraine to win the war and he refused to answer the question directly both times?

Trump wants the conflict to end by giving Putin Ukraine. Kamala called it.

Kamala defeated Trump hands down. Not even close. You can't blame the news outlet. Trump was out of ideas. He has "concepts" to repeal and replace the ACA. Pathetic. He kept trying to distance himself from the Project 2025. He still couldn't admit that he lost the election but doubled down to the point of being out-of-touch with reality. He claimed that the 60 election cases that were decided against him were politically motivated. He even claimed that he actually won Georgia in 2020 even though we have his voice on tape begging the Governor of Georgia to "Find 17,000 votes!" He's a demented old man who has been sinking deeper and deeper into mental illness.

“Trump wants the conflict to end by giving Putin Ukraine.”

Obviously, that is what he thinks should happen. Trump swears he will end that war, instantly, if he becomes president again. But there’s only one way he can do that: cut off all arms to Ukraine and let Russia win.

Wingnuts are now trading a conspiracy theory that Kamala Harris’ (slightly weird-looking, IMO) earrings were actually audio earpieces, and someone else was feeding her answers via the earpieces throughout the debate.

Because, see, it could not possibly be that she, a woman of color, is smart and Trump is dumb, and that’s why the debate turned out to be an epic embarrassment for Trump. They can’t accept that. She must have cheated somehow.

This seems like a whole rehash of the taunts by Sarah Palin and others about Obama “being good at reading off a teleprompter,” with the implication being that he was secretly a dolt and his party handlers were only making him appear smart by always handing him speeches crafted by other people. Obama couldn’t actually be an intelligent person because … well, you know.

Yes, Kamala Harris claimed that she and her husband owned guns. Of course they do. They’re the elites. It’s the proles like us they want disarm. They don’t want to give up their own protection! The little people should give up their guns because they don’t need guns to be the left’s definition of manly.

“So she just started by saying, she's going to do this, she's going to do that, she's going to do all these wonderful things. Why hasn't she done it?”

“I rebuilt our entire military. She gave a lot of it away to the Taliban. She gave it to Afghanistan.”

Sounds like some Alex Jones conspiracy theory nonsense — right up there with “liberals turning the frogs gay.”

While I have to give at least some credit to the small number of traditional Republicans who have openly opposed Trump, particularly those like Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger who have trashed their careers by doing so, I am having a little trouble with the most recent one.

Alberto Gonzalez has endorsed Kamala Harris because, apparently, Trump is a “serious threat to the rule of law.” Which, I mean, wow, the irony meter just broke.

NOW you care about the rule of law, dude?

The thing is, Fergus didn't have a bad debate, that's just what he sounds like all the damn time. Harris brilliant move was to make damn sure he exposed himself to the country while she stood there sounding sane and presidential. And she did. She prepared, and doesn't half ass anything. She fucking takes it seriously.

Bloviating Ignoramus said...

Turns out that Insane Clown is not such a ferocious puncher when his opponent punches back. Kamala has to keep on bashing Insane Clown. Especially on the economy. Polls show she won the debate by a large margin also show by a large margin that Insane Clown is still more trusted on the economy and border security. Insane Clown inherited a thriving economy from Obama and proceeded to wreck it with his billionaire tax cuts, trade wars requiring a $12B bailout for farmers, government shutdown to try to force funding for his stupid border wall, and the coup de grace his clownish pandemic response. Insane Clown inherited $400M from Papa Trump and proceeded to go bankrupt 6 times. This would have been a devastating attack line but inexplicably Kamala delivered it in the context of Insane Clown's Central Park 5 ad. Aspirational goals are all well and good but they just get blown off that she isn't providing enough detail. Insane Clown has a concept of health care and no one demands more detail. Funny how that works. Don't be one dimensional Kamala. Keep on busting Insane Clown's fat ass.

BI: Thanks for the link. Every time Fergus runs his idiot mouth about healthcare, you know he's lying. Krugman has been out in front of this the whole time. There are two ways to give everyone healthcare: the cheaper and more efficient way (that so far has proven to be politically out of reach), which is raising some taxes and having the government pay for all of it for everyone, and the other way we seem to be stuck with because the private insurance companies are very rich and powerful, mandating that the private insurers cover almost everyone and subsidizing the premiums for those who can't afford them, which is the ACA, and previously, Romneycare.
There isn't even a "concept" of another plan for Fergus to have.
It's just another lie to try and cover for his failure on the issue.
The ACA is majorly problematic, as it continues to support the profits of massive corporations, which could be used instead to provide better healthcare, but it does restrict how much they can milk the system for and it has in practice gotten millions of Americans covered. One of those Americans is me. In 2014 I had cataracts so bad that I couldn't read the top line on the eye chart from six feet. Medicare, which I have because I am disabled, pays for 80% of the costs for such surgeries, leaving me with about $2,000 to pay out of pocket. Living in California supporting two adult humans and a cat on SSDI, there was no way I was gonna come up with two grand, and if not for the ACA's expansion of Medicaid to 130% of the poverty level, it's possible (though admittedly not likely) that I could still be fucking blind right now. But definitely blind for a couple more years until my finances took a turn for the better in 2016.

The obvious point to make here is that Republicans don’t have a plan to give everyone healthcare because they don’t actually WANT everyone to have healthcare.

Their real view (that of the Republican donor class who fund and own the party, at any rate) is that if you’re poor, you deserve to be poor. Capitalism is perfect and moral, so you must have earned your lack of health insurance by being lazy or otherwise of bad character, and it is only right and proper that you should just get sick and drop dead, and not bother the “productive” citizens of this country with supporting you in any way.

But that isn’t exactly a position that polls well with voters, so they’ve instead resorted to claiming they are working on a universal healthcare that will be better than the Democrats’. Always “working on it.” When will they be done “working on it”? On the Fifth of Never.

Apparently, the insane rantings of Trump and Vance, describing Springfield, Ohio, as a hellhole utterly ruined by immigrants (including Haitians that eat pets, lol) have inspired some other disturbed person or people to call in a series of bomb threats to government buildings and schools in Springfield.

Remember when presidential elections weren’t dangerous or destructive, back in ye olden days when Trump wasn’t running for president?

But that doesn't work either. More sicker people are more expensive than keeping them healthy to begin with, even without government support. The ROI on healthcare, especially for children is bigger than any stock you could luck into buying.
For instance, had I had health insurance in 2008, I likely would have had my high blood pressure diagnosed, and avoided the stroke and resulting disability entirely with one cheap generic pill daily. Even setting aside the sixteen years of SSDI, had I remained in the workforce, the payroll taxes and economic activity from my employment would add up.

Definitely. One thing that characterizes conservatives is that they think they are rational and practical, not emotional like those silly lefties.

But it’s the opposite. Their worldview is fantastical. It doesn’t work. An economic system that is oriented around serving the needs of the wealthiest, first and foremost, is a system that is economically inefficient and ultimately politically unstable.

Guaranteeing everyone is as healthy as possible is an investment in society that pays lots of economic and political dividends. Being so selfish that you deny others healthcare is incredibly dumb and counterproductive.

“https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people”

This fact-check was an epic failure of fact-checking. It resulted from media figures not being able to cope with such a sociopathic liar as Trump, who is really in a class of his own, as liars go.

The fact-checkers gave Trump credit for saying he didn’t mean the Nazis when he was talking about “very fine people.”

Except he did, because he said there were very fine people on both sides. And one of the two sides was comprised entirely of Nazis, so there is literally nothing else he could have meant.

Ridiculously, the fact checkers gave Trump the benefit of the doubt, as if, oh gosh, perhaps the poor guy didn’t know there were only two sides — Nazis and non-Nazis — in Charlottesville. Oh please, seriously! He knew! He deserves no such benefit of the doubt. The events in Charlottesville were well covered in the press. And Trump regularly tells outrageous lies and then “takes them back,” often within the same sentence, so he can turn around and claim his critics have misunderstood him. He has a long history of this.

So, yes, Trump said what he said. Yes, he likes Nazis. And yes, he wants their votes and support.

"drumpf's alleged shooter today is identified as a deranged magat drumpf supporter."

The son of the would-be assassin says the main motivation was Ukraine. I don't know if his father is actually ethnically Ukrainian, but he is apparently passionately in favor of Ukraine remaining independent and regaining its lost territory. And he knew that if Trump becomes president again, he'll just let Russia have Ukraine. He decided to try to prevent this by killing Trump.

Then Trump, Vance, and a bunch of other wingnut politicos repeated the lie, because they’re shameless racist a-holes.

Many who want to see the democrats win say that Kamala needs to stop all that laughing like a hyena and start looking and sounding more presidential. They say every time you see her, she has her mouth wide open a toothy grin, her tongue and all the way down her throat hanging out of her mouth and her mouth so wide ope you can see all the way down her throat.. Also she needs to stop sounding " not quite there." Which makes one a laughing stock among critics. Part of what made Condoleeza and Hilary so dynamic is not only their strong knowledge of domestic issues and foreign affairs but also their excellent verbal articulation and their ability to think on their feet and be ready to answer any questions with excellent knowledge and articulation all the time!! Questions Never caught Hillary or Condoleeza off guard.

The way I remember it was that Trump must have been warned that he made a huge mistake. So he issued 2 or 3 similar statements in the next couple of days. That way when people tried to defend him, they could accurately quote one of the similar comments which was not quite as blatant. Not sure. Basing it on some proof offered a few years ago by one of his faithful.

I guess this is clever, as far as it goes, on the part of the Israelis. But it’s also seriously disturbing that this could happen at all. Are Americans’ electronic devices vulnerable to this sort of attack by some hostile organization or foreign government? Do we now need to worry about exploding cell phones?
