I saw a minute or so of it because someone else had it on, but I wasn't interested in watching, I'll catch a summary online later, or will look at this thread now and then Will try not to reload obsessively. I need to protect my fragile brain from this crap ;).

Trump: makes incorrect claim

Moderator: Actually there is no evidence that happened

Trump: well I saw it on TV! Someone said it on TV! Someone wouldn't just go and say something on TV if it wasn't true!

Shouldn't the president of the country have a bit of higher standard of evidence than "I saw someone say it on TV"?

It's really astounding that Donald will lie his ass off about almost anything but can't muster the will to lie about protecting Ukraine. No rational person could think he intends to do anything but hand over Ukraine to Russia.

That’s exactly what he means by “ending the war” and it “never happening in the first place”

What's the point of muted microphones if they'll just let him say whatever he wants, whenever!? Once again, all the rules and laws just don't apply to Donald Trump...

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

I forgot the movie, but it's like that scene were the elites of Germany were amused by the Nazis and allowing them to grow until they realized they lost control. I think the same thing is going on here, they think they cam get something out of Trump, but likely will be fucked in the long term if Trump gets what he wants.

I can't watch the orange man without getting very angry about the shit he spews, so I couldn't watch it for very long. I understand he got trounced.

ABC is being pathetically weak in controlling Trump rebuttal time. They are letting him walk all over them.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Harris campaign requested unmuted mics - it was Trump's team that was worried about him making an ass of himself with interruptions. With that in mind they might be letting him talk because it's what Harris wanted in the first place.

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

None of that should matter if the moderators had the a drop of a spine. They don't. They should be banned from ever moderating again.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 months ago

They fact-checked constantly during the first half, which was a huge improvement over former debates. Honestly I thought this was better moderated than any previous debate involving Trump.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They need to use electrodes and as you go over your time or interrupt you get a small shock that gets larger each time you offend.

Honestly don't know what it takes for an asshole to be put in his place. Most people are weak in this sense, I mean, we see it in every day lives too. It took me so much fucking working to get this sociopathic criminal pushed out of my friend group. Most people didn't "want to make things awkward".

Forcing myself to watch this thing. I think I'm getting a rash.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

I've been doing the game where I shoot every time he gets the mic when he shouldn't.

Probably gonna need emergency services soon

Moderators keep letting trump interrupt & talk over them. Bro just grow some balls & tell him to shut up & mute his shit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

That was Harris's request, I thought. In the original terms for the Trump/Biden debate, each person's mic was shut off except when it was their turn to speak. Harris asked for that to be changed to allow interruptions, and Trump went along with it. If that's not working out for Harris, she should probably talk to her own team that wanted it, instead of whining about the moderators.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago (8 children)

It worked out just fine for her. Gave him a chance to dig his own grave, which is what he did and what she wanted.

They're afraid to be called unfair after he said that they'd be unfair. It's one of the strategies that us uses to suppress fighting back against his lies and ineptitude.

First, your preemptively accuse someone of something. Second you do awful things that would normally rightfully get a response, but the authorities have to be careful otherwise you'll accuse them of doing the thing they should be doing. Third, you get your way even though you broke the rules, or you get to yell about how you knew, just knew! That you'd be treated badly.

Agree. They are just letting him prove what a crazy duck he is.

[–] [email protected] 118 points 4 months ago (8 children)

I have been disappointed by that as well but this has been astoundingly good as far as debates have gone. The immediate fact checking is long overdue. And frankly I look forward to pointing at Trump's extra speaking time as a bulwark against the "iT wAs BiAsEd By ThE lIbErAL mOdErAtOrS" complaints.
