How can a human be so awful? Maybe he’s some other species, or alien-human hybrid?

The only thing Kamala is missing is she isn't gay. That....my friends would melt the orange man back to concentrate form.

"During Trump’s answer about Israel and Gaza, he claimed he would end that war and the Ukraine war “before even becoming president,” which the FBI really should be investigating, since non-president civilians aren’t supposed to be doing their own foreign policy behind the government’s back."

But they do. Especially if they're Republican candidates. Nixon telling Ho Chi Minh that he'd get a better deal out of him than he would Johnson, for example, or Khomeni refusing to deal with Carter on the hostages only to release them the very day Reagan was inaugurated, FOR SOME COMPLETELY INEXPLICABLE REASON.

But they usually try to keep it hush-hush. Typical Trump, he has to brag that he IS TOO as big and strong as Nixon and Reagan.

Millions of Americans must be hopelessly incapable of figuring out some really basic stuff. Trump is the image of and embodiment of "a tough guy" for millions of people. I can't help laughing out loud whenever I think about that. He's a whiny, dishonest, immature, cowardly brat, not a tough guy.

Let’s not forget how he reacts to being laughed at. His whole run for president was a reaction to Obama making fun of him. He’s going to be really really vicious to her , even worse than he already is.

I have to admit that when she started with the “world leaders are laughing at you” I immediately flashed on the end of the movie “Carrie” when the mom yells “they’re laughing at you!” To Carrie.

“The big dog looked up at me and with tears in his eyes said, “Sir, please keep me safe from being eaten by Haitians.”

Her team had her totally prepared. Harris is highly skilled at speaking under pressure. I’m a trial attorney and speaking before 6 or 8 strangers on a jury and trying to sound authentic and convincing is a daunting task. Harris is debating a raving lunatic in front of maybe 100 million people. The stakes couldn’t be higher, especially after June’s debate showed how a single poor performance can change everything. Her team had her balance her policy answers with targeted digs at Trump’s ego. As Evan points out, she started answers in the third person, then often switched to first person, then finished her answer by evoking the American people. Trump’s people, on the other hand, urged him to focus on Haitians eating dogs, cats and ducks.

It was a brilliant performance for Harris and coupled with Taylor Swift’s kick to Trump’s shriveled balls, should boost Harris beyond the margin for error. If Trump remains close after this, nothing matters and America is hopelessly lost, so we shouldn’t stress about it too heavily.

Couldn't agree more. If that despicable, boorish, ignorant and criminal a**hole tops 40%, there are just way too many idiots in this country for the republic to be sustainable for the long term. If he really gets whomped at the ballot box this time, maybe the idiots will quietly slink away and we'll be alright for a couple of election cycles. I don't know. But it seems like each election for the foreseeable future is going to be an existential horror -- a desperate attempt to keep the depraved, cruel mole-people from imposing their idiocy on the rest of us. In the long run, more civics and humanities education should make a huge difference, but that doesn't work overnight. Of course, now we all have to run the gauntlet through the brazenly stupid book-burners even to promote freedom of thought.

Civics and humanities sounds suspiciously like squishy, progressive dogma to small-minded conservatives. It only takes one shitposting influencer to vilify something good, something educational and enlightening, with a scary made-up story to turn a red state against it. Like CRT. I’ll wager 90%+ of wingnuts who throw CRT around like a dirty word are unable to explain what CRT is about. Other than, perhaps, to make white people all look like racists. “Stop trying to teach us how to be better,” is essentially their mantra. Hate is a fuel they hold dear, and ignorance is imbedded in their bones.

I saw Mary trump on Lawrence O’Donnell tonight and she doesn’t think he’s ever going to recover from the psychological damage inflicted. Too bad so sad.

To be so publicly humiliated by a woman of color? Oh hell yeah, that old racist, misogynist S.O.B. is burning in a special hell-on-earth at this moment. Of course, such a mortifying defeat only makes that ignorant man-baby all the more determined to steal an election he is beginning to realize he isn't going to win. And just a month or two ago, he thought he was going to win "fair and square"!
