He just took a drink of water too. Imagine if Carney had done a spit take.

Gagged. Are you all really hearing gay or is this a big troll?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not a troll. I heard it when I watched live and didn't figure out he meant gagged until he said it a second time. Listening to it again I can hear it either way, his pronunciation at the end is just a little off.

I heard gay on my first viewing. After playing it again I picked up on what he was actually trying to say. I think k it's something along the lines of mondegreen where you can hear the wrong words in songs.

This and referring to everyone on stage as "contestants" were both pretty funny.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow. Just silliness. The only residual discussion after the debate is "Did he say 'gay' or 'gagged'?"

Says a lot about the importance of the debate in the overall election.

Think I read some study several years back (probably following the Trump-Clinton one) that concluded almost everyone always perceives their "team's" candidate as having won the debate, and the number of voters swayed by a stellar performance from another candidate is negligible.

Yeah, they're pretty damn pointless...

Except the news media thinks they are, so we will probably continue to have them, if not just for the entertainment value. They fill in some of the 'air time'.

Did PP's wife (who is present in way too high a percentage of his publicity material) know about this in advance? 🀣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He obviously said gagged. It literally sounds more like gagged than gay even if he did mispronounce.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I agree it's obvious he meant to say "gagged", but it absolutely sounds like he said "gay".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah he said it like Gaygd

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

He needs the Forrest Gump "d" in there.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Every accusation is a confession...

Seriously, probably meant to say gagged, and failed miserably. I still think it's a shit excuse.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

PP is gay, make it known to his shitty conservative voters pls.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They see him as a strongman. You won't have any luck with this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I think that's why conaervatives like PP but not JT.

Conservatives want to be the bottom so they don't like leaders they can fuck but rather prefer leaders who can fuck them.

Holy shit guys. I need to get my security clearance!

It's a 17 second video…

Weird, Voyager is just displaying it as an image. Opening it in Firefox linked me to the Imgur video.

My bad!
