"But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.”

“In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.”

    You mean the draft dodger, ressurective, dictator admiring, classified document stealing, dementing, lying, grifting, make-up wearing Cheeto ? He only serves himself.

    But the win is so easy at this point. And watching the reaction of his opposition is fkin delicious.

    But hey, this time we don’t have random people claiming they’re going to move to Canada.

    Life long democrat that hates everything about Donald Trump here. I once famously said I will vote for used condom before I vote for Donald Trump.

    Am I taking crazy pills???

    On the debate, I, with my own two eyes, saw that our president Joe Biden is senile. Yet, today everyone is saying that Donald Trump was so bad, he should drop.

    Donald Trump was a selfish, narcissist, arrogant, bastard in 2016, 2020, and 2024 debates. As somebody that watches all our the presidential debates, I did not see any difference in Donald Trump, and his behavior, since 2020.

    Biden, on the other hand, very clearly has dementia. I would know. My father has been battling dementia for the last few years. My father is a lot more capable than Joe Biden at this moment.

    All of these articles are damage control from Democrats.

      Yeah I don’t get why Democrats let Joe Biden run as he WILL pass away before this term is over (not wishful thinking and I’d wish him another 50 years more, but the guy just really doesn’t look like he’ll be around for another 4 more years), but ignoring that…

      Why are they focussing on Joe’s issues with Trump? Focus on the dictatorship part, perhaps? On the sheer incompetece? On the insanity? The crimes? The fucking insurrection? There are a million sun blazing red flags they could wave about trump, yet they try to.focus on things where Joe actually failed himself?

      Yeah, poor Joe is senile, I get it, and people should still vote for him cuz they’re living in the greatest country where they have the choice between an evil clown dictator and a senile dying grandpa. It sucks, but those are the choices. Destroy the world, or effectively vote for Joe’s running mate, as that person will be in charge soon.

      Dear god joe, please don’t die right before the elections, that would be baaaaadddd

        I feel trump will also pass in the next 4 years. Dude is massively overweight and extremely unhealthy compared to Biden even if he has dementia.

          The most shitty thing is that my brother died at 55 when he was a good person and this piece of shit is still alive.

    NYT did in fact talk about Trump in their editorial. They lamented that any sane party would consider him ineligible after his debate performance. But because we can’t have nice things, the onus is now on Biden.

    All the “rebuttals” keep ignoring that.

    Who believes that Trump would serve his country? Trump would happily see the country go down in f-ing flames if it served him. Because he is the only one who counts for him, anything else does not matter at all.

        Either putin has footage of him killing someone or he is getting paid. Either way its just more self serving crimes.

          No, it’s worse than that, but not in the way you think. Him killing someone wouldn’t matter to his followers, they would love him even more for being an alpha man or some crap like that.

          Putin likely has footage of Trump with a large, black woman in a BDSM situation of him crying and whimpering. That would make his voters shy away from him, shattering his tough guy image.

          I think it’s probably more simple than that. Trump is jealous that Putin has his own country and he doesn’t. In Trump’s mind he’s the best so he also needs to own an entire country just so he can outdo Putin.

          He’s probably working with putin to achieve this goal, and the details we can speculate about, but the motivation is likely that petty.

            That’s a possible motivation as well, but his unwillingness to say ever anything bad Putin tells me he’s holding him with some kompromat.

            I mean, Trump has never passed the opportunity to badmouth anyone else, with the exception of his crime family. Why is he making this exception also for Putin, going out of his way to always be on his good side and lick his boots?

            There’s got to be some pretty damaging information about him, that would be beyond his usual shady business dealings or just Russia plain helping his campaign - people already know these and it hasn’t made a dent in his electability amongst his MAGA base. It’s got to be something amazingly awful even for Trump’s standards to keep him in line like that.

            Absolutely. He’s jealous that Putin can do whatever he wants and not get on trouble for it. No one is allowed to tell Putin he did anything wrong. Trump is a spoiled brat. “Putin can have people killed and not get in trouble, Waaahh! I Wana do that too!” That’s as far as his thought process goes.

    Trump attacks the military. He denigrates the Justice Department and judges. He belittles the FBI and the CIA.

    Stop trying to convince me to vote for Trump, it’s not going to happen.
