Trump Speaks At Length During Debate In Indecipherable Code Of Far-Right Fever Swamps

What a shit-fest. Listening to this in my car…so where was the F-N mute button? Score: 1 Biden; -5 Trump; AWOL/MIA -Kristen Welker.

My impression is that Trump completely failed to deliver anything close to the sort of performance he would need to turn this election around. His supporters were probably less discouraged by tonight’s performance than they were on his first debate but, that said, I doubt he changed anyone’s mind about either himself or Biden tonight. In short, he’s still losing and there’s not much time left nor will there likely be any more significant opportunities for him to improve his odds before the election.

Far and away the biggest surprise during tonight’s debate came when the Karona King reached in his pocket and unveiled his much-promised COVID-19 vaccine.

It’s a special dialect few speak or understand …

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

When I clicked on the article, I assumed Kate Riga was going to explain some of that “indecipherable code”. At least I’m relieved nobody else who matters knows that trump was talking about either. Hopefully some of it will get decoded in the coming days.–not that it really matters.

I listened to it on PBS and then their post-debate commentary. I swear some of them were listening to a different program than I was.

Now, I’ve heard people say “Trump is the chosen one.”

Which brings to mind Voltaire: “God is a comedian playing to an audience that’s afraid to laugh.”

If the second is true, God really does have one sick sense of humor.

Evidently trump’s minions talked the commission into taking control of the mute button. And sent in a goon to manage the button person so they would not silence Donnie dearest.
