      “I got involved with the Taliban” simply isn’t a phase I thought I’d hear from a candidate, in any context.

        I have concepts of a plan
        Got involved with the Taliban

        I didn’t watch the debate, but I would’ve if I’d known it was a rap battle.

        This. Openly saying he negotiated with a terrorist organization during a US presidential debate.

        It’s like someone took a bunch of Republican grievance talking points and tossed it into a big nonsensical word salad of fear mongering.

        This one is the highlight for me.
        Are “they” performing surgeries on prisoners and Trump sees them as aliens?
        Or on Illegal immigrants and he sees them as aliens?
        Or aliens like 👽🛸 aliens?

        Ah, so many possibilities.

      I’d be inclined to agree. “They’re eating the dogs” is also a good contender to anyone not into misinformation and racism

    The funniest part was when he said he was speaking and asked to be allowed to finish. Then he started delivering his statement very calmly and quietly (for Trump), and it somehow ended with him ramping up for only these words and shouting “SHE WANTS TRANSGENDER OPERATIONS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PRISON.” It’s like being at grandpa’s for dinner, he starts off pointing out the gas prices are high and one sentence later he’s talking about Kamala’s communist dictatorship that she modeled after Maoist China.

    It’s also funny how him acting normal included accusing democrats of performing abortions at 8 months and also murdering babies shortly after they’re born.

      The moderator checking him on that was hilarious. Made me think of Jason Batemans character from arrested development.

      I realize as a mod she had different reasons for being quickly and quietly spoken but still.

      I’ve had to cite this story too damn many times.

      After the pussy grabber tape came out, a Conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Donnie. One of the other panelists kept saying ‘pussy’ over and over. The Conservative woman finally had enough and demanded that the other lady stop using that offensive term.

      They’ll fly the ‘POW/MIA’ flag and still vote for the guy who likes soldeirs who didn’t get captured.

    Acting normal for 3 minutes would be a record for Trump.

    Like feeding a mogwai after midnight.

    Then like sticking a sun lamp in front of the cocoon and putting it on strobe the minute the gremlin comes out.

    Knowing that Banksy is working on his next masterpiece is one thing; seeing that masterpiece revealed for all and sundry is yet another.
