Had there been a more savage moment in a debate? Has anyone been shot at one? I am afraid to Google it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

“Please proceed, Governor” was a good one.

I found the following clip the most savage as she basically tells him that works leaders across the world think he's a tool and that someone with his incapability of self reflection makes him unfit for office:

His response makes it worse as he said that Orban said he was the best leader ever. Which kind of makes the point

I was cracking up at the choice use of "fired" in this comebsck

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (4 children)

why does it always look like hes wearing someone else's face

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

The way his skinsuit slides around on him I wonder if he's a very small Slitheen.

He had only one of three expressions anytime she was talking, and it was fucking creepy all on its own.

  • I want to fuck the cameraman (seen in OP)
  • I want the cameraman to fear me greatly (such as seen in his famous mugshot)
  • Punchable, fake, practiced smile (as seen in some common Trump memes)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You also forgot.

  • Demented muppet

Unless you are classifying that under one of the others.

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

That might be fake smile one. This one?

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

Because even after all these years and having all that staff he still doesn't know how to apply nake up right.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

I figure it's the spray-tan which doesn't go on right next to the eyes.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 months ago (3 children)

My favorite moment was her introducing herself so formally.

It was also a slick way to correct him on how her name is said.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I missed this. I think I came in late. Does anyone have a clip of that?

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

I mean he doesn't know how to pronounce her name. I think she figured this would be a good time to do it lol.

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

I wanted her to bait him into a handshake then withdraw out of disrespect but alas we can't have her pushing the bully back too hard while courting the low-info swing voter, I guess. So this was a pretty great alternative.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

Well a certain decorum is befitting to the position they’re in, so I’m glad to see one candidate that understands that.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (3 children)

It's a great line, but it's also kind of tragic that these kind of soundbites are how we decide who is commander and chief of the armed forces.

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

Nixon lost the 1960 election to Kennedy in part due to how he looked during the first televised debate.

while I agree with you and would love to have policy be the main driver of people's decisions, elections are unfortunately more about likability than policy for most voters.

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

It's always been this way to some degree.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

There’s a lot more to deciding the president than this… this was just cathartic.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As per my previous email...

She straight up called him an idiot to a national audience and if I die too young I hope it's with that memory in my head.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

She straight up called him an idiot

We've been doing it for decades. She did it in language he gets. It showed more than it ever has before.

Holy shit, is that why his two dumb ass sons always have that 'I have a raging clue' face going on?

[–] [email protected] 144 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I love the strategy of talking down to him like he is a child, knowing full well that he is going to respond like a child.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He really went off the rails after she started talking about his crowds leaving rallies early.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

And his facial expressions while he wasn’t speaking? I honestly had a hard time telling if he was trying to troll her like he did Hillary or if he was constipated.

It’s like he doesn’t know what to do with his face if his mouth isn’t moving.

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

Apparently, based on one newscast I've seen, he was told that instead of losing his temper out loud, he should make faces at her that show his anger.

So he decided to lose his temper out loud and made stupid faces the rest of the time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Why aren’t we talking about that more? That face was sooo weird, like is he a cartoon character now?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's a "pretend to understand and be authoritative" face. Once I had a boss who was woefully underqualified and he made that face all the time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I noticed the lack of comprehension several times. I could easily pick out which individual words she said that he doesn’t know, because he has absolutely no self control.

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

Yep, the classic sign of ‘I don’t know what you’re on about, I was just a yes man for years and got the job’

[–] [email protected] 53 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He literally said he can't tell a difference between how he is now and how he was in first grade.

He actually doesn't know that adults aren't supposed to act like six year olds.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

So according to his logic, his racism "40" years ago with the central park 5, and his behavior now is indistinguishable. Sounds about right.

Kamala is highly meme-able; with her effort and a capable team, they'll drown out those Trump cultists and get uninformed voters on her side. If only that old, weird narcissist would just become an irrelevant creature sooner.
