Asking Trump to answer a question is like nailing jello to a wall. He always responds with this rambling discourse that includes crowd size and stolen votes. I don’t know I have enough medications to make it to November 5th.
"And here is Trump explaining that they’re eating the dogs and the cats, with the 'Peanuts' theme playing, via somebody named Noah Garfinkel.
I saw that on YouTube before Evan even posted it (I've been training my algorithm to find more offbeat stuff, mostly by punishing it whenever it tries to feed me anything I binged on the prior day), and yeah, I laughed. This Garfunkel guy noticed how well Trump's cadence in this answer matches the melody of the song. Still...
PEANUTS LIBELZ!
Seriously, this song, actually titled "Linus And Lucy" and written by Burt Bacharach, is one of my Happy Songs, and I'll thank people to keep Trump's shit mouth as far away from it as possible.
The whole thing just gets better and better the more times you see it. That's pretty astounding, for a debate of all things (although it's not really a debate, but at least there were questions that one person addressed)
Wow, when you read the transcript, it really jumps out how much she just *owned* and manipulated the asshole, and how completely fucking batshit incompetent he is!
This is epic. I wish I had the skills to superimpose Trump's head on an episode of Blackadder just to see how it plays out; same dialogue, just different head. Genius.
I’ve gotta say, I’m absolutely confused about what that [Exc] is subbing for. Normally those brackets are used for clarity, when in a written quote someone forgets to capitalize a name or drops an indefinite article from a sentence. But here? Did he actually say “Abuse me,” or “Confuse me,” or “Recuse me”? Or even just “Use me”?
Maybe 'Scuse me? Though in that case, he could have just written that. I'm baffled too, though it's not really important in the context of a stellar take down of L'il Baby Twumpkins.
Well, I wish I hadn't been so late to finding this one because it made me laugh so hard and I could have used a laugh earlier in the day! But I have now sent it to everyone on my text list who will appreciate it, so there's that.
This is so good…. funny, well-written, and spot on! (Dang those big ol’ meanies… how dare they moderate! How dare they call out those ridiculous lies!)
This is one of the most telling quotes of the entire evening, to my mind. A former president, running for president with the entire weight of his party apparatus, and the contacts he would have made while in office, gets his information exactly the way your racist grandpa does - sitting on his ass watching Fox and Friends. And has about as good a grasp on how to tell whether it's bullshit or not.
I'd like to think this will feel so relatable to the kind of people who are tired and busy and don't care about politics and have "plague on both your houses" attitude toward it. They'll think "Oh christ that sounds just like grandpa, we can't have that in the White House" and they vote.
Can you even believe these moderators didn’t just roll over and show their bellies like a common Jake Tapper and Dana Bash? How shameful. RIGGED AND STOLLEN!!
"America’s One True King Donald Trump is that the moderators RIGGED and STOLLEN it against him, by factchecking him, and asking unfair questions."
And the Fulvous Flatulence is sooooo pissed at the unfair moderators and the highly liberal ABC network steamrolling him that he has now demanded that the FCC pull ABC's broadcast license as the penalty for being as partisan as they are, and nowhere near as unbiased as Newsmax or OAN. (He's not sure about Fox since they swing back and forth on solidly giving him support and moderately supporting him -- outside of Hannity and Ingraham who are just as rabid as always -- and for not stacking the deck in their polling, which *is* considered as fair and unbiased as other reputable pollsters.).

"LINSEY DAVIS: There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born."
If the Amber Ardipithecus says its true then it must be, why would he lie to the voters?

"First let me respond as to the rallies. ... And the people that do go, she's busing them in and paying them to be there."
This is opposed to the MAGA groupies who, while complaining about rising costs, have had no problem traveling long distances in order to attend a Mango Malignancy rally. He may not be directly bussing in or paying attendees, but IMO a majority of those in the crowds appreciate his song and dance (he dances just like an old Orange... sorry... White man) and have come for an encore.

"FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I said that sarcastically. You know that. It was said, oh we lost by a whisker. That was said sarcastically. Look, there's so much proof. All you have to do is look at it. […]"
First the Dull Orange Depends-wearing Dullard questions whether or not he made the statement, then he recalls he said it, but sarcastically. (I challenge him to even define "sarcastic" without an open dictionary in front of him, and even then he'd likely get it wrong.)
As for the overwhelming trove of evidence: the Goldenrod Grotesqueness is still waiting for the right time to release all of it. When that time does come, we'll all have egg on our respective faces for ever doubting the obvious.

"FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No judge looked at it."
This is a truism. No Sandstone Snowflake-appointed judge looked at all the bovine scat that emanated from his campaign office or him. If any had, then they would have proven their loyalty to the one responsible for their lifetime sinecure. And if, by slim chance, there might have been one or two then they will suffer the same consequences as everyone else who stood in his way.

"DAVID MUIR: Your time is up. Just to clarify the question, do you believe it's in the US’s best interests for Ukraine to win this war? Yes or no?"
How dare Mr Muir as a question with just two possible answers and not give the Cadmium Orange Cancer a chance to equivocate.

Great piece Evan. Thanks.

A reset. It's NEEDED!

Stollen is my all time favourite Trump misspelling.
Stollen goes best with covfefe
Yes, I have found that.

I saw someone on FB say that "I have concepts of a plan" sounds like something Blackadder would say.
This is epic. I wish I had the skills to superimpose Trump's head on an episode of Blackadder just to see how it plays out; same dialogue, just different head. Genius.
“…TRUMP: [Exc]use me, the FBI…”
I’ve gotta say, I’m absolutely confused about what that [Exc] is subbing for. Normally those brackets are used for clarity, when in a written quote someone forgets to capitalize a name or drops an indefinite article from a sentence. But here? Did he actually say “Abuse me,” or “Confuse me,” or “Recuse me”? Or even just “Use me”?
My guess is he started talking while the mic was muted and they turned it back on in the middle of the word.
Maybe 'Scuse me? Though in that case, he could have just written that. I'm baffled too, though it's not really important in the context of a stellar take down of L'il Baby Twumpkins.

"...Concepts of a plan." Classic.
Does it mean he has a plan for his plan? What a nincompoop!

"The people on television say ..."
This is one of the most telling quotes of the entire evening, to my mind.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I have concepts of a plan.
How a meme is born.

They’re eating the pets…in Springfield
