  3. So lazy and low energy Trump just lost his one talking point a day before the debate… Someone is playing “4-D chess”… and it most certainly isn’t Trump.

  4. Would be hilarious if she put out a Trump Cheat Sheet with all the same shit he’s said recently in rallies and in past debates. That would make tomorrow night sound like a broken record and leave his arguments deflated.

  5. Gotta wonder how much of Trump’s debate prep involved “She has no plans. No policies. She won’t talk about them. She’s hiding them. She doesn’t want you to know how bad her policies are.”

  6. Someone recently put together a montage of his past presidential debates to show it’s the same load of shit and just the names have changed. We we supposed to sink into WW3 (WW2 if you listen to Trump before his staff mentions that already happened) when Biden won. Now it’s if Harris wins.

  7. John Stewart I believe mentioned that the Orange Turd is so lazy because all he’s been doing is changing out the name of the candidate followed by the talking point. Swapping Biden for Kamala.

    I also think it’s funny how someone who was elected with the help of Russia and so in love with Russia thinks that calling her Comrade Kamala is negative. He should be called Comrade Orange Turd.

  8. Dumb article – she could come out Eminem in 8 Mile style and box off every possible talking point he could have ahead of time and he will still just work through the same tired greatest hits which the media will tell you was a superb performance.

    The media want those sweet sweet clicks all the way up to election day, regardless of how the debate goes they aren’t going to stop writing positively about him.

  9. Some “Shit Trump Says” bingo cards would be nice to have for this debate

  10. While giving him less than 24 hours to review and prep 🤣

  11. Thank God. I got tired of my conservative friends saying she has no platform only asks for money.

  12. She should honestly bring a bingo card with various expected Trump lies on it, and play the game during the debate.

    Effectively communicates when a lie is told, and would get under his skin each time she starts penciling something in while he speaks, smirk on her face.

    Not to mention BINGO!!!

  13. First time homebuyer credit, if the follow current definition will mean not just ‘first’ but anyone that has not owned for 2 or more years.

  15. What exactly are trump’s detailed policies? I never hear anything other than crazy nonsense about Hannibal Lecter, toilet flushing, kids getting gender altering surgery while at school, after-birth abortions, sharks and electric boats, etc. Nothing but lies and pointless rants about absolute nonsense. 

  16. How is this race even close? Everything he used in 2016 and 2020 against his opponent now applies to him.

    Kamala is on fire and yet still this race is a toss up? America is doomed. These double standards are fucking ridiculous.

  17. this election is only close because the mass media in America want to harvest public interest for a profit. absolutely disgusting and deplorable.

  18. > Kamala Harris may have left it a little late, but she is seeking to head off accusations that her campaign is flimsy on concrete policies ahead of Tuesday night’s TV showdown with Donald Trump.
    >
    > The vice president has always insisted she has a strong presidential plan and now she has it down in writing on her own campaign cheat sheet.

    Let me first say that all candidates should do this. The American people need to know what each candidate plans to do if they become president. This is such a no-brainer that I feel like an idiot having to say it out loud.

    Having said that, **Trump *and* the media can all eat shit**.

    Trump can eat shit because he doesn’t have a plan for anything other than revenge, and when pressed for answers about his “policies,” he fumbles and flip-flops; answers change daily. Who is *he* to criticize anyone else about *anything*?

    The media can eat shit because they consistently hold sane, reasonable candidates to a higher standard than those who stonewall questions, have no policy positions, and flip-flop on a daily basis. They—the American press—have created the environment they complain about; when one candidate knows they’ll be held to a higher standard and have their policies closely scrutinized—while their opponent, who has no written positions, is not—that sane, reasonable candidate will hold back and talk less about their policy positions, resulting in a disservice to the American people brought about by our press. Normal candidates know all the focus and criticism of the details will be on them (because it’s all the press has to focus on when the other guy is stonewalling), which is tantamount to the press working for their opponent.

    For well over nine years, the press hasn’t known how to deal with a man like Donald Trump. They know they won’t get real answers out of him, so they ask him questions they know will generate controversies; this is good for their business of convincing people to look at their ads. Meanwhile, normal candidates find that the rules haven’t changed for them; they’re still required to answer questions fully and defend their positions, or the press will say they’re stonewalling. They don’t even bother to call Trump out for these tactics anymore, but watch how they behave with Harris; if she doesn’t answer a question, it’s a news story.

    Trump and I agree on one thing, but for entirely different reasons: the American press absolutely sucks, and nearly every one of those fuckers should be ashamed to call themselves journalists.

  20. I’m trying to be fatalist about this, whatever happens, happens. I can only cast one vote (plus I live in the bluest of blue areas). However, my anxiety levels haven’t been this high since 2019. It really sucks!

  21. Forgot to mention he tried to talk Netenyahu into extending the Israel-Palestine conflict so it wouldn’t look like Biden got a political point.

  22. SO what’s Trump policy on ANYTHING???

    He only says “I’ll fix this” or some bullshit about “I woulda done X to fix this major problem in 30 minutes.”

    Where’s that healthcare plan he promised like a decade ago?

    Unless he means Project 2025…but hey…I thought he had nothing to do with that right? RIGHT?

  24. She’s going to have a really tough time in this debate. Because her opponent has lost all sense of sanity and rambles random bullshit. And the media treats it as gospel. You can’t fairly debate a person that is insane when the rest of the media treats him like he’s sane and not mentally deficient.

  25. I really can’t wrap my brain around how republicans are going to vote for a guy who will go through a debate without any actual discussion about policy. Its going to be fear mongering from Trump all night.

  27. Trumps stolen debate talking points:

    1. Nobody knows “___” better then me.

    2. My policy position? ” We’re gonna Drill baby drill”

    3. She’s a Nasty woman.
    3a. Do Not say Black or N.

  30. 1. let Trump formulate a line of attack that is inherently projection
    2. wait until it’s locked in
    3. pull the rug
    4. laugh as he flails wildly

    it’s just so easy

  31. What a weird kind of tone this writer is taking. Why is her campaign posting her policy intentions being framed as being done to “head off” Trump instead of what it actually is: her informing the public of her goals if elected? The whole article has an undertone of snark that really doesn’t mesh with the content

  32. I find it baffling that these articles say things like “while it doesn’t go into detail” about how the policy will happen – as if we’ve ever heard a friggin viable detail from The Weird one other than to use bleach in our veins.

    Give me a break.

  34. When Trump starts talking about “post birth abortion” I really need her to firmly state that nobody is arguing for that and it simply doesn’t happen. Late term abortion is really only done to save the life of the woman or if there is a problem with the pregnancy. These are people who generally wanted to have the child and are devastated that the pregnancy has failed, it is literally the worst decision a couple could ever have to make and Republicans have turned it into a fucking political issue for the last 60 years. Democrats need to firmly push back on their bullshit call them out, and set the record straight.

  35. I want, after one of Trump’s incoherent word salads, for Harris to say, “I don’t know what he just said, I don’t think even *he* knows either.”

  36. Since there appears to be a double standard for judging their responses, Kamala should memorize one of Trump’s word salad rants and recite it back to him verbatim. You may just see a Trump glitch, the likes of which have never been seen before.

  37. Kamala and her team are smart, they know how to get under Trumps thin skin
    He has no agenda other than hate and violence and making himself rich while staying out of jail

    Trump is WEIRD
