Trump and Harris agree to September 10th ABC debate - Watch Along Starts at Post 431

They say you’re judged by the company you keep. This might be a case where they both look worse just associating with each other.

She did something to her hair…she looked like some kind of AI-generated bot in the recent video clip I saw of her promoting her book/questioning the attempted assassination narrative.

I really do wish I hadn’t been drinking when I read this.

Is the Loomer appearance a signal to Trump’s base that they shouldn’t be upset when Trump has to tilt to the center for the narrow purpose of tonight’s debate?

Or am I overthinking?

Heck, after seeing that, I’m wondering if I should crack open a beer now, or wait an hour.

I assume it’s a signal that he’s shopping for Wife #4.

Meeee-oooo-wwwww. :wink:

I am starting root beer float prep.

Are you going to do the commentary again this time? If so, thank you so much! I just cannot listen to him for more than a minute before my blood pressure starts going up.

It’s a lot of work so I’d hate to ask @rocking_chair to do that, but dang, @rocking_chair is so good at it.

I’ll try… some times the gish gallops over a cliff.

Reading Trumps statements through @rocking_chair’s coverage is sort of like looking at Medusa through a reflective shield, second hand exposure is less likely to turn one to stone. Although I do feel sorry for the shield.

thank you for taking one for the team!

Oh I agree, rocking chair is great at it. No pressure or anything!!!

in this context:

if you are thinking, you are overthinking

What if they have to pee?

I wondered the same thing.

Trump’s got his diaper. He’ll be fine.

And Harris has experience arguing in front of a jury so she probably knows how to hold it.
