Was tempted to call this “Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo” but a) A lot of Lemmy won’t get the OG reference. and 2) “Boogaloo” has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.
Also, while it’s Trump’s 2nd debate of the season, it’s Harris’s first…
It’s being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That’s a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!

That’t it! Thanks for hanging with it everbody!
Really good energy this time around, but Jesus, Trump is exhausting to listen to. No wonder crowds leave his rallies early. :)
Edit: Muted him, but I can hear my wife in the other room yelling “OH FUCK YOU!!!”
He keeps talking about “he needs to get in here and sign a bill, he signs a bill the border will be closed”. (After going completely non-sequitir about January 6th).
Holy shit. He dead ass thinks he’s still debating Biden. Haaaaaaaaaaa
“We are going to have the best economy, she is Joe Biden and we had the highest inflation we’ve ever seen” - Trump
“Let’s compare your economic plan with mine, we’re giving tax breaks to small business.”
Also, going back to the previous point that Trump lied about several times, Harris nailing the rebuff of Trump’s lies that usually just go unchecked on painting Harris as a person that wants to steal guns. Very good.
Also also, Trump’s entire closing statement stated one positive thing he did (we rebuilt our military) and the rest of the time was saying why Harris was bad. Harris positioned herself well here.
This… former President…
That pause. 👏
Honestly that was a word salad by both of them but Trump is just off the rails with insanity.
Also, has this fucker ever been in the desert? I live here, there ain’t shit there and is take solar over some stupid ass crops that don’t grow there.
Six years later, he still doesn’t have the healthcare plan he promised in two weeks.
That “commander in chief” statement from Harris gave me a patriotism boner.
Get ready for another non answer.
Captivating speech from Kamala. I really hope Kamala wins this election
Trump is on Hunter Biden. That’s totally relevant to this debate vs Biden…oh fuck…wait…it’s Harris now.
Just wish moderators would have the spine to hold Trump to the rules and just keep his mic muted and move on.
Maybe it is in the benefit of Harris given his rambling but I don’t know.
Kapow! Harris landed a good one. She knew where to hit him: his fragile ego about crowd sizes.
Well that was just sad to watch. The take away, Trump has concepts.
He can’t admit any fault or admit remorse! He’s incapable of it! I’m both amazed and repulsed by this, lmao.
Old racist man yells at clouds.
