Why hasn't Vice President Harris fixed everything already, she's the Vice President already so she should fix it.

So says the man that tried to get his VP hung when he dared disagree with him.

Trump closing statement: "She said she's going to do lots of wonderful things. Why hasn't she done it yet? They've had 3 1/2 years to fix the border and create jobs. Why hasn't she done it? She should go down to the beautiful White House and to the Capitol and get them all together, but you won't do it, because you want to do things that Americans don't want like no fossil fuels. Germany tried and now they're back to how they used to be. But I need to ask a simple question: why didn't she do it? We're a failing nation. They're laughing at us. I know world leaders very well. They come to see me and call me and tell me. We don't know what's going on. We have wars going on in the middle east and in Ukraine and we'll have nuclear war. I rebuilt our entire military. She gave a lot of it away to the Taliban. What these people have done to our country- the worst part is they let millions of criminals into our country. They are destroying the country. The worst president and the worst vice president in the history of our country."

Ho-lee fuck.

Oh thank god, closing statements. My fingers are getting tired.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I don't know how you did it man. Those paragraphs looked word for word to me. not my half assed paraphrasing mixed with my own giggling commentary.

These "moderators" should be ashamed of themselves. They couldn't be more transparently treating one participant with kid gloves and letting him talk as much as he wants.

It's what I expected, but I am still disappointed.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

yeah, looks like he got a solid 5 more minutes than her to say the same bullshit over and over

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

To be fair, while Trump is an adult, he never grew up, hence the kids gloves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

And all the dim people who watch will nod along and think the moderators were super fair.

Trump on what to do to fight climate change: "They lost 10,000 manufacturing jobs this last month. They're building auto plants owned by China in Mexico and they think they can sell their cars in the U.S. because of these people. We'll put tarriffs on those cars so they don't enter the country because it will kill any auto worker. What they have done to business and manufacturing is horrible. Biden doesn't go after people because China paid him millions of dollars. Him and his son. Ukraine gave him money. All these countries give him money. Why is he so loyal to Ukraine? The wife of the mayor of Moscow gave him money!"

Yes, he asked why Biden is so loyal to Ukraine.

That such an absolute dumbfuck has a chance to become President (again no less for fucks sake!) is a god damned indictment on our system.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

This

More than anything, I'm embarrassed as an American that shit has gone this far, and we have to listen to Coherent Cathy for a third election.
