      Just realized this is the perfect time of year to stock up on some fireworks. That level of evil leaving the government (formally or influentially) absolutely merits celebration!

      …there are a few of those fucking cockroaches whose passing would justify lighting up a few celebratory 'splosions.

      I’ve said this many times, and I’ll keep saying it until people understand:

      Trump is more dangerous dead than alive.

      His cult status would increase 10-fold, and if you think Trump supporters are annoying now, you don’t want to know how they would be if they worshipped a martyr, saint, whatever.

      This is what happened to Venezuela under Chávez. You don’t have to believe me. Look it up.

      Plus I want that asshole to be in prison. I know the probability is slim given how the justice system treats him. But I can’t be hopeful if he’s dead. Lock him up!

        They have nobody who can hypnotise the masses the way he can. While the fascists will undoubtedly still be dangerous, the “movement” (yes, I’m aware who else called it that) will fizzle out.

          Just because the Republicans have yet to bring another fascist that has the charisma that Trump has, doesn’t mean they won’t have a fascist with the amount of charism of trump had.

          Trump wasn’t an aberration, he’s the new normal for Republicans. It’s just a matter of time before the next person who knows how to jingle their keys in front of the idiot masses and they find a new ‘god emperor’ to obsess over. And with our luck, they won’t be nearly as stupid and incompetent as trump is.

          I wish you were right, but again… that’s what people thought of Chávez. Don’t underestimate the stupid.

      There is nothing wrong with legal, doctor prescribed medicine to enhance one’s performance in a debate.

      We all wanted the state of the union Biden, not this…

      It’s going to be sad in retrospect when 20mg of adderall could have been the difference between democracy and heil Dear Leader Trump. I am praying for a series of miracles now.

        I will take “Weekend at Bernie’s” Biden over Trump. Biden should do whatever it takes to win.

    I like how they already frame it as him taking the bait. Because they’re desperate to have an excuse, and they want to blame the moderator or his opponent for tricking him into being an a******.

    They know that he will, they know that he’ll say ridiculous things, and they’re trying to come up with as many preemptions strategies as they can.

      People considering Trump already know he’s a dumb criminal that satisfies their bias against politicians and paying taxes. He can do no wrong, bonus points if he makes them laugh.

    Trump is like a child. He’s going to shape himself in the image of the people who love him and give him approval. That’s the evangelicals. They love it when he’s an asshole who “owns the libs”. Expect maximum asshole.

    Has Trump been coherent for anything recently? Can they, through whatever means, get him into a coherent state for this?
