Here’s a 100% accurate recreation of how the debate pretty much went:
TRUMP: “…and on the day they shot me, the sky was blue.”
DAVID MUIR: “Mr. Trump, excuse me, ABC contacted climate scientists who said the sky is black. Colors are just artifacts of light bending through the atmosphere.”
LINSEY DAVIS: “Plus clouds are white. And the Sun is yellow.”
MUIR: “And, FBI Director Wray said investigators were unable to determine whether it was a bullet, so it is inaccurate to conclude you were shot.”
DAVIS: “You know you faked it.”
And so it went, around and around, President Trump verbally sparring with ABC’s frenetic, over-caffeinated fact-checkers. Meanwhile, candidate and face actress Kamala Harris practiced looking like a mime being tortured to death with a dull potato peeler.
Kamala also said some totally forgettable stuff, not one sentence making a headline or going viral, for two reasons. First, the patently partisan moderators failed to ask Harris anything that anybody would want to know, like why she flip-flopped about some of the race’s most important issues. Even the New York Times was forced to admit the laughing candidate got lame questions and zero fact-checking that produced a boring slog:
There were almost no moments of tension between the moderators
and the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, and
the ABC anchors skipped several opportunities to follow up with
her on tough topics like the Biden administration's chaotic
withdrawal from Afghanistan and Ms. Harris's shifting positions on
fracking and the southern border.
Second, despite getting nothing but squishy softballs, rambling Kamala still could not answer the questions. It went kind of like this:
MUIR: “Vice President Harris, this year you took bold action that resulted in significant reductions in border crossings. Why didn’t you act on the border sooner?”
HARRIS: “You should ask Trump! He said the Ku Klux Klan were very fine people. And he said he would call for a bloodbath if he loses the election. That’s a fact. I’m not joking.”
MUIR: “Thank you, Vice President Harris, that cleared things up. President Trump, to Ms. Harris’s point, when did you start loving Adolph Hitler?”
Trump got the ‘best zinger’ award when the first time Kamala interrupted him, he snipped, “Wait a minute. I’m talking now, if you don’t mind, please. Does that sound familiar?” In the debate’s second-best moment, Trump flat called Harris a marxist — one of the few things he said last night that David and Linsey did not fact-check.
Finally, according to reports, President Trump stayed after the debate answering reporters’ questions for an hour. Cowardly Kamala fled, refusing to answer any question she hadn’t rehearsed. Fake faces, fake answers, fake performance.
WookieMan says
Women leaders don't want men around. Soak that in and really think about what I said. It's not a claim.
Unless there is a man who backs up the women consistently.
I think the winner of the debate was anyone fortunate enough not to see it. It was essentially not just painful but predictable and basically inconsequential.
Would you fight war with a women? My answer is no. They're not leaders.
What was that first question? I tuned in a bit late.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. led the charge for the Trump camp, noting “Unfortunately, we had moderators who were clearly biased, who were constantly fact-checking Donald Trump.”
He added, “None of these whoppers that the vice president was saying, and none of her failure to really explain that, answer that first question, that very, very critical first question. They simply sat there on the sidelines and allowed that to pass.”
The first question that Kennedy is referring to was Harris refusing to answer when asked if Americans are better off now, under nearly four years of the Biden-Harris administration, or if things were better under Trump.
Instead of answering the simple yes or no question, Harris babbled and made false claims about Trump’s economic policy, which went unchallenged.
This was the trend throughout the entire debate as co-moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis peppered Trump with follow-up questions and pushback, while letting Harris dodge questions altogether.
1) Trump says Pelosi is responsible for security at the Capitol. True.
Muir intervenes on Kamala's behalf by cutting him off with snarky retort,
doesn't acknowledging the validity of Trump's statement, and
immediately redirects to Kamala to set up her "answer" he knows is
coming. This is direct action by Muir to affect the outcome of this
exchange.
2) Kamala says she was at the Capitol on J6. She was there in the
morning, but left to go to DNC HQ prior to the riot. Critical information is
omitted. No fact-check.
3) Kamala says Trump incited a mob to attack the Capitol. False.
Trump's "peacefully and patriotically" comments are ignored. Trump is
not charged with inciting violence. No fact check.
4) Kamala says that "some" police officers died on January 6. False.
No fact check.
5) Kamala recites the Charlottesville "Fine People" hoax. This has
been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked. No fact check.
6) Kamala recites the "stand back and stand by" hoax. This is
designed to infer that Trump was ordering a "militia" to act on later
orders, when he was clearly asking for a cooling of tensions. No fact
check.
7) Kamala recites the "bloodbath" hoax. Trump was talking about the
automobile industry, not violence. No fact check.
To quote Megyn Kelly on the ABC moderators:
"They did exactly what their bosses wanted."
"She was fed the questions"— Internet accuses Kamala Harris of using Nova H1 audio earrings as debate controversy erupts...
From it, many internet sleuths have dug out Kamala Harris’ pictures wearing unique earrings, which are now being claimed as Nova H1 audio earrings. For those unacquainted, it refers to clip-on gold/silver-plated pearl earrings that double as wireless earphones and are created by Nova Products. ...
“Notice how when she reacted to something Trump said she would shortly after shift her position to an almost staged look. Or how when she would get flustered, she would suddenly stop before changing subjects. that was her listening to what she would talk about next,” wrote another.
El Yorsh tipped us off about the earrings during the debate. However, I would imagine hers are more James Bondsy than the commercial types.
Can you imagine the room full of Intel geeks with the questions ahead of time fine tuning her script in real time? And that's still the best she could do?
Would you fight war with a women? My answer is no.
but I just left the basement because of this photo and went on a night time walk.
