Kaitlyn Collins is now backstage searching for a bottle of liquor.
mmm
or pot.
Whatever is available.
Mod: Will you accept the results of the 2024 election?
Trump: Only if it’s an honest election, and I like the results.
Mod: So you’re not committed to accepting the results of the 2024 election. [You could practically hear the mic drop.] Thank you, and that will wrap up tonight’s town hall.
Phew! Hope I kept those of you who chose not to watch informed as to proceedings. And thankfully, I got some beer earlier today. After all that, I definitely want another one now!
He called the moderator, of the show that he’s doing, “a very nasty person”?
Do I understand that correctly?
Yes, and not the first time he has called her that.
Thank you for your service. I do hope you can do a memory wipe.
Yes. I had to paraphrase some of his remarks as things were happening so quickly that it was hard to keep up, but Trump saying to Collins, “You are a very nasty person” is a direct quote, word-for-word.
If he starts talking normally, median voters will expect it of him all the time. And then there’s risk of the populist fever hold on the GOP (and, I fear, a lot of our traditionally swing voters) breaking.
Wow. Go de-stress with that pint and the playoffs, Spoons!
You’ve earned it!
You and everybody else are quite welcome. As for a memory wipe, I don’t think that’s possible, but I do have a fridge well-stocked with beer, so. …
Go enjoy one. Or four. 
And thank you!!
Remember the “blood coming out of her whatever”?
If not for yesterday’s verdict, he would have come up with something more sexist than “very nasty.” But since the jury established his twisted manhood yesterday, it would have been overreaching to go further today.
Yelling stupid stupid won’t change his brilliance at demagoguery.
I’m impressed. In her place, nothing could have stopped me from lunging at him.
…I very much can’t bring myself to watching any of this, but from what I’m seeing on Twitter, Trump hit his talking points perfectly, the audience was behind him all the way, he humiliated the moderator, and this will be a great start to his campaign.
No matter how stupid he sounded, no matter how many lies he said, this is a HUGE victory for Trump.
Don’t want to start a hijack, but one quick comment: that is not what the Court said. The majority said that the right to abortion was not found in the 14th Amendment, and therefore the Court was returning the decision on this point to “the people and their elected representatives.” That meant that “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion”.
There is nothing in Alito’s majority decision that says that Congress lacks legislative power over abortion, and by implication “their elected representatives” could apply equally to Congress or the states. He was just holding that the federal Constitution does not bar states from legislating on it.
Kavanaugh in his concurring opinion is more explicit: “The Constitution is neutral and leaves the issue for the people and their elected representatives to resolve through the democratic process in the States or Congress…”
I presume CNN checked to be sure that the venue is not close enough to any school, day care center, etc, to fall within a sex offender exclusion zone.
Just for clarity, in case you aren’t being generally sarcastic: yesterday’s verdict was in a civil trial, in which Trump was found liable, not a criminal trial, which could have found him guilty of sexual assault – and, thus, he’s not a convicted sex offender.
I remain blissfully ignorant of his appearance. I’m heading out for a few hours of fun with friends. When I come back I’ll hate-scroll Twitter to see what hilarity I missed. I’m so glad I forgot what time it was on and I was not tempted to tune in.
I don’t know why the moderator pushed back on election and Wall lies, but allowed the 9+ month abortion lies.
