Who is watching the debate tonight?
-
At Riverbend to see John Legend. (He went to my high school).
-
We’re going to watch it. I may have to resort to adult beverages…
-
We planned to watch it but if the warmup on CBS is any indication I’m not going to be able to stand it and go to bed.
Do these people ever listen to themselves?
-
OK. Harris is doing very well.
I wonder if anyone is watching.
-
Fact checking the debate.

Harris slammed Trump on his foreign policy issues contending that he is "weak and wrong on national security and foreign policy."
"It is well known that he admires dictators, wants to be a dictator on Day One, according to himself," she said.
"It is absolutely well known that these dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again because they're so clear they can manipulate you with flattery and favors," she added. "And that is why so many military leaders, who you have worked with, have told me you are a disgrace.""
Zing.

I will watch the highlights so I can mainly hear her and not him. I really can’t stand listening to him.
Plus, I was practicing (tomorrow is piano lesson day). And n;w I’m going to bed.
-
The press is going to love this.
-
Chris Christie’s assessment was brutal. “Trump better get to work or he’s going to lose this election.” And “whoever did Trump’s debate prep should be fired.”
-
It can’t hurt
Taylor Swift has endorsed Harris in an Instagram post, minutes after the debate’s end.
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight,” the pop star wrote. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.”
Swift signed the message with her name, followed by the title “Childless Cat Lady,” a reference to JD Vance’s now-famous insult toward Democratic women, which he has faced backlash for.
In the endorsement, Swift also mentioned false AI impersonations of herself endorsing Trump, which she said made her worried about misinformation.
“It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter,” Swift said..

No kidding. The commentary from outside the US is castrating Trump.
-
@wtg CNN analysis is brutal.
-
sounds like Trump actually made some important points though. if the Democrats are really forcing transgender surgery on illegal immigrants in prison, we got to rethink that.
-
That and the bit about immigrants in Ohio stealing pet dogs and cats and eating them. Donald can save the animals.
-
@wtg I think it’s payback for the couch thing.

The latest consipiracy theory is that Kamala's earrings were actually audio transmitters and she was being coached through the whole thing. They all think she did too well to have done it on her own. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/what-are-nova-h1-audio-earrings-kamala-harris-conspiracy-spreads-online/ar-AA1qnKfF

I have also decided that my new line is "I have a concept of a plan" -- it's incredibly versatile..... "I have a concept of cleaning my house. I have a concept of cooking dinner. I have a concept of doing laundry." Even better when said while sitting on the sofa eating doritos and binging netflix.

How to get him rattled.
"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"

I choose not to watch this kind of theater. Many many years have past since they had any semblance to what I would call a debate. I was in another room working on real stuff and occasionally seeing what people I respect were saying on Twitter. I got the gist without destroying my TV or my spleen.
