Anybody watching the US Presidential debate right now?

Trump: makes incorrect claim

Moderator: Actually there is no evidence that happened

Trump: well I saw it on TV! Someone said it on TV! Someone wouldn't just go and say something on TV if it wasn't true!

Shouldn't the president of the country have a bit of higher standard of evidence than "I saw someone say it on TV"?

Moderators keep letting trump interrupt & talk over them. Bro just grow some balls & tell him to shut up & mute his shit

Oh hell naw. I'm maintaining my sanity by letting Jon Stewart tell me all about it afterwards:-).

Nah, I’m busy performing transgender operations on illegal immigrants that are in prison right now

I watched it, and I usually skip debates because the summaries are more meaningful (it's usually just used for fluffy sound bites). This one just felt... Different? She baited the fuck out of him. There will be so many memes.

And yeah the moment he said the great Orban I fucking lost it, more at than the dog eating migrants and the post birth abortions. Like, Harris can't necessarily call that "ally" an asshole fascist but like, those of us in the know, know.

It's really astounding that Donald will lie his ass off about almost anything but can't muster the will to lie about protecting Ukraine. No rational person could think he intends to do anything but hand over Ukraine to Russia.

ABC is being pathetically weak in controlling Trump rebuttal time. They are letting him walk all over them.

I am waiting for it to come out in meme format.

Harris: "You shouldn't have to fly to another state just to get the medical attention you need."

MAGA nutheads: "SHE HATES FLYING WITH POOR PEOPLE"

Holy shit, the brain gymnastics some people do on the net is astonishing.

There’s a live thread at !news@lemmy.world.

I can't watch the orange man without getting very angry about the shit he spews, so I couldn't watch it for very long. I understand he got trounced.

Switched over to Fox to see how they were going to spin it.

Hannity was like: "The moderators are lefties. It was 3-1 ."

Then he brought on Rubio, and I clicked away.

I was but had to turn it off after President Treason lied about people getting hurt on Jan 6

no, not like i like to stay uninformed, i just don't like to cringe

Permanently Deleted

Even called him a strongman like it was a good thing.

Saw most of it. Actually surprised that fat orange held himself together for so long. Hes still not worth the trouble though

Me and a couple friends made a little party out of it. I started Uni a couple weeks ago so we haven't been able to talk hardly at all, so we made sure to clear our schedules so we could laugh at Trump for a couple hours together

Nope definitely not why would I do that to myself

Forcing myself to watch this thing. I think I'm getting a rash.

What's the point of muted microphones if they'll just let him say whatever he wants, whenever!? Once again, all the rules and laws just don't apply to Donald Trump...

This cheeto is COOKED

I saw a minute or so of it because someone else had it on, but I wasn't interested in watching, I'll catch a summary online later, or will look at this thread now and then Will try not to reload obsessively. I need to protect my fragile brain from this crap ;).

i was working so, no.

"trash says I smell nice!"

No. And i am tired that lemmy is 90% posts about the US while they are less then 30℅ of the user.

I didn't bother.

I already know how it's going to go no matter who wins. Everyone gets poorer except the wealthy.
