Trump on the peaceful transfer of power and January 6th: "I told people to be peaceful and patriotic when they were rioting and no one was killed on their side, but Ashley Babbit was shot by an evil cop and the rioters were treated badly. What about the killers coming over the border? She was the border czar, but she doesn't want to be called that because she's embarrassed about it. When are they going to be prosecuted? They're coming from all over the world, not South America and crime is down all over the world. When are they going to be prosecuted? What about the people who burned down Minneapolis? What about the people who took over a large amount of Seattle!"

Moderator: "Do you regret what happened?"

Trump: "I just showed up to make a speech and I went to Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of D.C. and I said- it wasn't a riot by me- and I said I'd like to give you the national guard and they both rejected me and her daughter has a tape saying she was responsible for what happened. It was their fault because she was responsible for security."

Nice. He just can't accept any level of responsibility for anything ever. To a sane person, this is a terrible response.

I love all this fear mongering! 😂 America IS great. Let’s keep it that way!

peacefully and patriotically and no one got killed but what about the people killed by border crossers. oh man this is a trip.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is he saying immigrants did Jan 6?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

No, he's saying they're worse.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Solar is the worst - by the way I'm a big fan of solar.

A totally sane person

"She wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison." Again, actual quote.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 months ago

some of the quotes out of this are more entertaining than I expected.

"The United States Supreme Court recently ruled that the former president would essentially be immune from any misconduct if he were to enter the White House again. Understand this is someone who has openly said he would terminate, I'm quoting, terminate the Constitution of the United States".. Trump is on the ropes right now..

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The main problem with the debate is that the audience that is listening has to actually also be SANE.

If you have nutjobs listening to all this ... they'll love Trump no matter how reasonable Harris may sound.

The trouble has been, is and will always be ... the general intelligence of the US population.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Remember, Trump needs more than the MAGA faithful to win. Only a small number of people need to be swung by this and I can't believe this will turn anyone against Harris.

oh now he took a bullet to the head. anyone else hear marsha marsha marsha with his russia russia russia?

Literal quote: “I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things they say about me.”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

"Healed up pretty quick for a bullet to the head."

I wish those were/will be the first words of her response.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I'm glad she isn't. She hits him on substance and talks policy.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (6 children)

When this is over, I wanna see a stat on who spoke/was on camera more. The press plays right into his hands. Asking him to clarify only gets him more speaking time. That's why he "wins" debates, because he monopolizes media time. She is doing a great job attacking him, but he gets the last word.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They didn’t cut off his mic, let him ramble. 🤬

The "virtual coin flip" conveniently gives him the final word at the debate, too. He will be the last one who speaks and he'll be allowed to monopolize the time spewing hot air.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Considering how insanely he's been rambling, I don't know that giving him the last word will help him.

Trump on his immigration plan: "There are more migrants than they say because they allowed criminals and terrorists and drug dealers to come into the U.S. and are told by countries like Venezuela if they come back, they'll kill them. Crime in those countries are way down because they gave criminals to her and they did it because she'll get votes, but it isn't worth it. They've destroyed the fabric of our country. Millions of people let in and all over the world, crime is down except in America and we have a new form of crime, it's called "migrant crime" and it's at the highest level ever. The FBI lied about crime because they didn't include cities. It was a fraud like the number of jobs they said were created!"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Calling the FBI liars is so insane. This is the Law & Order Party once again...

I mean the FBI are liars, but not about that.

Trump on immigration: "People don't leave my rallies. They don't go to her rallies. Also, WWIII is going to happen because immigrants, but the towns are too embarrassed to talk about it, but black people are eating dogs. People go to my rallies because they want to Make America Great Again which is a great phrase. She is destroying this country, it will be Venezuela on steroids."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

but the towns are too embarrassed to talk about it, but black people are eating dogs.

Is that a direct quote?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

No. Just a summary.

"THEY EAT DOGS" - A totally sane person

Furthermore: "I fired most of the people I hired because they did a bad job. Biden didn't fire anyone because of Afghanistan and people died and I got to know their family. They should have fired all the generals! I fire people who are bad at their jobs. Those people write books about me, but no one else can write books. They didn't fire the economists, look at the inflation. And just to finish- I got more votes than any Republican by far."

Yes. They've been pushing this crazy racist lie that Haitians in Ohio are eating people's pets.
