Yeah no shit lol. They fact checked most of his unhinged shit (which is fine) but Kamala can spout Israeli propaganda lines without issue.

Ummm saying that Israel has the right to fertilize their crops with the bone meal of ground up Palestinians is an opinion. No fact check needed smuglord this is 0 Pinnochios

Also what the fuck was she on about when she accused Trump of selling ships to China? Trump started the whole export restrictions thing

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month ago

Liberals have designated bad guys, so they think that when they combine them together (i.e., Drumpf and COMMUNIST CHINA) it makes it ultra-omega-bad.

They gave her a complete pass on everything and hammered him. Not that i care how they treat him, but their idea of "facts" are definitely skewed toward the lanyard accepted view

Not subjecting us to another i-am-adolf-hitler contest is probably the lesser of two evils

Sandpaper. Absolutely no moisture in that campaign anymore.

Judging from last night's debate, I'd say we're already there.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 60 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Okay but hear me out what if they replace Trump with someone personable, and then they debate, and now Harris loses, so then they replace Harris, and then the new duo debates, and then the Trump replacement loses, so then they replace that guy, and let's just do that forever and never have another election again ppb-gigachad

I low-key suspect that the attempted assassination has affected Trump more than he wants to let on, and he isn't actually invested in being president anymore.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was already pretty dry at that point. No one talked about because Biden was wven worse, but he's declined a lot. Probably been like this since he had Covid

[–] gueybana@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was honestly surprised by how… nice he was being to Biden in the first debate while the guy was sundowning live on air. There was only one quip (I’m not sure what he’s saying and I don’t think he knows what he’s saying) but otherwise he seemed completely checked out from being his usual self.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Yeah, i imagine in Trumps debate prep they decided not to push to hard if Biden went full senile. Most people wouldn't react well to seeing a senile old man attacked.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I agree. When he was recovering from covid - he wanted to leave the hospital and do a reveal to show he was wearing a Superman shirt underneath. And when took his reality tv-like triumphant return to the White House via Marine One - I'm not exaggerating when I say I thought he might have a stress-related health problem right then outside the White House. He looked sickly and struggling to breathe. But he was in denial and the hogs loved it. Their hero returned.

When he nearly got assassinated - his raised fist was an insane display of courage. And then - all things considered - he had fairly dignified exit from the stage to his armor-protected vehicle. It was in no way like the movies where the Secret Service agents are pushing the president along because every second counts. And in another un-movie detail - I think he even managed another raised fist before they finally managed to get him in the car. It's impossible to know what he was thinking in the aftermath but I think it was possible his massive adrenaline rush made him forget that actual reality is not like reality tv. When you die in reality - that's it. You're actually dead.

And then when he turned on his tv - even in his right-wing media bubble he must have felt awful when it was clear a huge number of people didn't care very much about him or they were lamenting the fact he didn't die. After the shooting - I'm unaware of any grandstanding and boasting Trump did about it. And I assume not only has he been ruminating that he nearly died - he's probably also thinking you can only avoid the Grim Reaper only so many times and at 78 - he's not going to live forever.

IMO Trump doesn't have an ideological drive that justifies personal sacrifice, on the contrary he is extremely selfish and MAGA atracts exactly a huge part of this selfish chauvinistic white population.

So yeah when he had the opportunity to reflect on whether any of this is worth dying for he probably couldn't answer with "yes" unequivocally. Heck I doubt he even actualy cares or believes in actual MAGA rhetoric if it doesn't include direct benefits to people like him.

Not like this isn't obvious either, bullies tend to be cowards as a stereotype and first of all Trump's entire personal life before MAGA was entirely as part of the privileged capitalist class. He is part of the least likely group of people to ever consider any sort of altruism or sacrifice for a greater goal.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I take it our significantly sized well-moisturized gentleman is trying to pass this off more as a “gg no re” move.

I hate batting for Harris, but it’s legit not fair that chuds are allowed to refuse debates and still look good but not the other way around.

r/politics thread

As you can imagine - they're gleeful. They love shit that doesn't even matter.

He will never recover from the narcissistic injury he suffered at that debate. He won't debate anyone again, ever.

Never seen the fuckface so wounded in public. He won’t even look at her, like she doesn’t exist, lol…

That's exactly how malignant narcissists deal with narcissistic injury... whatever (or whomever) caused it is banished from their lives.

I would genuinely not be surprised if he never even mentioned her name the rest of the campaign and just says Biden.

He's probably still going to win lmao.

Also you know you're dealing with turbolibs when they start breaking out words like "fuckface".

I love how every online liberal acts like they're the Will Graham of narcissism.

Admittedly though, they do know what it feels like to be self-involved with no ability to reflect on one's thoughts or actions.

I don't see why not. Polls don't appear to have change at all as a result of this debate despite the stupid shit he said.

The only person that has anything to lose from the debate is her surely.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Liberals are cold spineless opportunists, but conservatives absolutely revel in clownish bullshit.

It's jokermala 's contest to lose. trump-moist is getting the same output of support no matter what.
