    ABC gave Trump a massive handicap but he still managed to shoot himself in the foot a few times. Even the moderator roasted him once or twice.

    I am here for transgender alien prison surgeries

      https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/09/politics/kfile-harris-pledged-support-in-2019-to-cut-ice-funding-and-provide-transgender-surgery-to-detained-migrants/index.html

      ""Harris also wrote that she supported taxpayer funding of gender transition surgeries for detained immigrants and federal prisoners.

      Harris was asked if, as president, she would use “executive authority to ensure that transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care – including those in prison and immigration detention – will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care.”

      Harris replied, “Yes.”"

      Alien and prison, taxpayer paid surgeries are on the menu, boys. Break in illegally or commit a crime, and your next surgery is free!

        If you’re in prison for life, and you want to kill yourself because of gender dysphoria, providing you the medical care to avoid that is the humane thing to do. Period.

        If you are an immigrant detained for 6-12 months before deportation, the the odds of this applying to detained immigrants is near 0, but let’s say 1% it does, this would be tailored at ensuring they can have the drugs they require.

        Keeping people from shooting out the back of their fucking heads or swallowing a bottle of painkillers to end it all is always the humane choice.

        Don’t worry, we could fund it all by just not administering a few death penalties (those are more expensive than life imprisonment).

          Dude are you forgetting that people are ok with death penalty AND it’s normalized to die without treatment if you can’t pay for it?

    The LWV (League of Woman Voters) sponsored the United States presidential debates in 1976, 1980 and 1984.[60][61] On October 2, 1988, the LWV’s 14 trustees voted unanimously to pull out of the debates, and on October 3 they issued a press release condemning the demands of the major candidates’ campaigns. LWV President Nancy Neuman said that the debate format would “perpetrate a fraud on the American voter” and that the organization did not intend to “become an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public.”[62][63] All presidential debates since 1988 have been sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates,[64] a bipartisan organization run by the two major parties that some argue has established rules with the intent to exclude airing candidates associated with other parties.[65]

      collapse is less of an event, and more of a protracted decay and crumbling away of its structural integrity, out of which the existing contradictions which had been always simmering below the surface become increasingly sharp at points and times and ruptures along the fault lines begin to appear at increasing rates

        If “never again” ever meant anything to you hateful, downright fucking ghoulish hypocrites, the DNC, RNC and NATO logos, alongside the Amerikan flag, would be regarded with the same disdain and disgust that the swastika, the fasces, the death’s head, or the SS bolts get.

      Is this about Israel? Don’t lie. Their policies are nothing alike.

      Specifically: You claim that Kamala Harris wants to cause more deaths in the Israel-Palestine war, but during the debate she clearly laid out her policy goal being a ceasefire and a two-state solution. Are you misinformed, or are you yourself spreading misinformation?

        is this what “working on a ceasefire” means to you?

        this is the one image I can post. the other results of the current administration’s policy would get removed for gore. personally, I think if you’ve been “working on a ceasefire” for nearly a year now, and the result is 2000 lb bombs being dropped on tents in a refugee camp, then you’re not really working towards a ceasefire and are instead just lying.

        this is not even mentioning policies on the homeless, immigrants, fracking, military spending, healthcare, all of which are significantly more to the right than they were in 2020. medicare for all isn’t even mentioned any more. dems used to advocate for a path to citizenship for immigrants, that’s gone out the window too.

            lmao of course you don’t know what it is. why would you know what it is, it’s not like you’re paying attention. yes, it’s a bomb crater. a 2000lb American made bomb, dropped on a tent city in Khan Younis. hundreds wiped out on an instant.

      Yes, and he still lost handedly. That extra time was all rambles and nonsense. I think in the end it was better.

      (Yes, I still would have preferred they muted him, ultimately).

        I haven’t verified it but I read on another post that the Harris campaign specifically asked for the mics to be left on during this debate. If that’s true, it stands to reason that she wanted them to be lenient with Trump, so that now he can’t pull the “They didn’t let me talk!” bullshit when talking about his less than stellar (generous way of putting it) performance.

        Technically, he did lose in 2016. Negative love for her too, like; enough that if I worked with ints I’d certainly have buffer underflowed by now-- but Hillary did win by three million. That should’ve been the liberal wakeup call, that you can win the popular and still get absolutely shafted by faithless electors.

        The only reason I don’t really expect that to happen this time is how it sounded like even Fox was starting to turn on the spray-tan porky.

      I can. Empire is in decline thanks to its incessant fixation on the Offense industry and refusal to tend to infrastructure, education, or social works, now mix in the steady erosion of critical thinking and literacy skill in this country, coupled with the crippling of any kind of recognizable civics curriculum to allow for principle-less, tribalist “vote my color no matter who no matter the policy platform” philosophies to grip the populace by the throat.

      That’s exactly how we get here.

    Was working during the debate, but caught a few seconds of it here and there while delivering.

    Trump looked really tired, like he missed his afternoon bump.

    Kamala looked like a fighter in her prime.

    Just a shallow perspective from someone who tried to avoid the debate as much as possible.
