Agree with you for the most part. But, I see it reversed. In a sane US, Trump wouldn't even be close and he would have had to step aside after that debate. And honestly, if you really did ask the question are we better off now than 4 years ago, the answer would be yes. But, I think that period was so chaotic and traumatic people forgot what it was like.
.
Most people are better off today than 4,5 or 7 years ago.
I saw that report somewhere, I don't remember the source. Care to share a link?

The main koko is Kamala is smart unlike what you made out. Her taking that debate is like Tinubu winning debate against Obi in present day Nigeria. Tinubu has no right to win any debate with the emotions people are feeling. Not that Dems are responsible for 2021-22 inflation anymore than Trump is responsible for 2011 to 2019 low interest rate environment , that's just the stage of the business cycle, but that's a matter for another day. Trump just has no right to lose the debate or even be close in the debate, given the conditions, unless his opponent is smart and wily.
Howdy Ibime.. If the mods were professional Kamala should have bought a rope to hang herself by now.

Did you read any of this or did you just copy and paste it?
What is the point of copying and pasting something without reading it and asking yourself if it makes sense or sounds silly?
Understand we are not like dumb Biden Kamala voters who only see one thing. Orange man bad.

If you have any evidence to the contrary post a link here, or pen down those long love letters proving only one of the 5 issues pointed out were wrong.
Poor attempt at gaslighting. I also watched the whole debate as it unfolded and was already posting her lies here .

This is a good summary of 21 Kamala lies , the moderators did not fact check her at all. They would ask her a question, she would answer within her. two minutes criticizing Trump who would then have a minute to respond, with in some cases the moderators interjecting. They fact checked Trump five times to Kamala zero times.

As sitting VP Kamala is in a tough spot, you know. Any slip-ups and she would be playing to Trump's hands. He tried very hard to put her against Biden. hahah.
And the moderators helped her mightily.

The childless cat lady might help convince the gullible.
The timing is preplanned
The cat especially..Looks like it was a planned moment .They probably knew from inside sources that Trump would raise the cats and dog claim, Taylor Swift with her gazillion social media followers didn't definitely decide yesterday after the debate .
The same Taylor Swift who had to cancel a show in Vienna over a planned ISIS tertor attack two weeks ago.

Trump called into fox and said the ABC licence should be taken away from them.
Honestly what ABC did was blatant election interference.
Earlier a report on David Muir show since June showed Trump had 93% negative spin while Kamala had 100% positive spin.
In other words Trump was in the lions den last night.
They were well prepared for the cats and dogs claim,Kamala quickly quipped raising questions on whether the three had rehearsed the gotcha moment

Megyn Kelly statement on the ABC sacrilege - I couldn't find a better word.

You didn't notice the lecterns are different sizes?
Lordreed. I was quite right about her appearing taller.

[quote]NEW: Kamala Harris will have a miniature podium during tonight’s debate on ABC against Donald Trump.

The move was requested by Harris’ team who is afraid she will look tiny compared to Trump.

The smaller podium will make it so the candidates look the same size during the televised split screen.

As noted by Axios, Harris and Trump have one of the largest height differences among presidential nominees in United States history.

Trump is 6’3’’ while Harris is 5’4’’.

One Trump campaign official said the smaller podium “looks like the kids table” at Thanksgiving.[/quote]

I read somewhere that many Haitians illegals are not good at written spoken English , the writer wondered how they are buying cars and getting driving licences in Ohio.
I can't vouch for this video, a compilation of car crashes caused by the Haitians. ( Future democrat voters)

Moderators didn't fact check these lies by Kamala but

Repeated the "bloodbath" lie,
Claimed that couples are currently being
denied IVF treatment due to "Trump Abortion
Ban" laws,
Said Trump would sign a national abortion
ban,
Claimed that Project 2025 is Donald Trump's plan,
Repeated the "fine people on both sides" lie,
Lied about the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity,
Said Trump would "terminate" the Constitution if he's re-elected,
Talked out of both sides of her mouth about the Afghanistan withdrawal and whose plan it was,
Asserted that 140 police officers were hurt by
violent rallygoers on January 6, 2021,
...

and more.

budaatum:
The post, shared by a concerned resident recounted a disturbing exchange with her neighbor, who revealed that her daughter’s friend.... told lou dobbs who then told basilico who believes it to be true.
I'm.inclined to believe a media personality might be more truthful than budaatum.
There are other links to the same story , I just picked that one.
That's a story wolfstreet would be caught dead publishing , I understand where you coming from. You always post from Twitter put up by TDS sufferers to debunk anything that does not appeal to you.
I quoted a known media personality with a reputation to protect.
Doesn't make it true all the same but he is more credible than Rachel Maddow

ono:
The facts that I just shared with a friend. Just facts.

1. Israel-Palestinian wars revitalised and reenergised under Biden-Harris. Nothing like this ever happened under Trump’s watch.
2. ⁠Ukraine-Russia War:
3. ⁠catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal operations, with more than $80 billion Dollars worth of equipment left behind for the Talibans.
4. ⁠Rise in transgenderism throughout the US, with attendant moral decadence, queer assertions, men sharing toilets with women, men attending/competing in same sports with women.
5. ⁠Abortion for all!
6. ⁠Millions upon millions of illegals pouring into the US endangering the citizens life, with many deaths recorded.

Not sure there’s anything abysmal than these facts.
If I may add A lot of children especially girls come accompanied by adult relatives. Under Trump they would do a DNA test, if no match the children were separated
Joe Biden stopped CBP from doing DNA testing and ordered that illegals be released into the interior and to the public while waiting for their assylum/ immigration processing. No wait in Mexico as per Trump policy.

These girls with grown adults who are not clearly relatives, could they be victims of child trafficking?

If their so called guardians are raping them , does it not make sense that Kamala and democrats want free unlimited abortions.

Many migrant girls are raped en route to America. Very many of them.
This is sad

I've not mentioned fentanyl deaths within America from drugs going through the borders.

You people are dull, I swear. Something he and JD Vance have been spewing days before the debate, why won't a NEWS station fact check it?

Edit: So you admit Trump is too dull to parse what is real or not?
I saw a story about Haitians eating dogs,cats and geese a few days ago. I doubted it but posted something related to it.
https://www.haitianreport.com/2019/03/does-haitian-eat-cats.html?m=1

If you search for Haiti and dogs right now , the articles that appear are related to debunking Trump claims of that happening in America.
Possible that the link above was posted as a bait , why are all search engines not showing that link while it's the most relevant?

The polls Trump won.
Honestly, this would be funny if it weren't so absolutely insane.
You are the one who saw what you wanted. Those who have some brain cells saw that the three were working in unison. team
Sample this evidence.

TRUMP: We'll end up being Venezuela on
steroids.
ABC GUY: I just want to clarify here, you
bring up Springfield Ohio, and ABC News
did reach out to the city manager there.
Uh, he told us there have been no credible
reports of specific claims of pets being
harmed, injured or abused by individuals
within the Immigrant Community.
TRUMP: Well I've seen people on television
--
ABC GUY: Let me just say here, this is
TRUMP: the people on television say my
dog was taken and used for food. So
maybe he said that, and maybe that's a
good thing to say for a city manager --
ABC GUY: I'm not taking this from
television,
TRUMP: -- but the people on television are
saying --
ABC GUY: I'm taking it from the city
manager.
TRUMP: -- their dog was eaten by the
people that went there.
ABC GUY: Again, the Springfield City
manager says there's no evidence of that.
Vice president Harris,
TRUMP: We'll find out.
ABC GUY: I'll let you respond to the rest
of what you've heard
KAMALA: [giggle] Talk about extreme
[cackle] um, you know, I -- this is, I think,
one of the reasons why in this election I
actually have the endorsement of 200
Republicans . . .



It looks a hit job. ABC had in advance called the city manager , stinks like a gotcha moment.
I may have doubts, Someone could have planted that story knowing Trump would use it and ABC plus Kamala would score points off it.

Congress Didn’t Act on Prescription Drug Prices. So President Trump Did.

Americans have waited decades for Washington to keep its promise to fix soaring prescription drug prices. Now, thanks to President Trump, that long wait is over.

President Trump Takes Historic Action to Reduce Medicine Prices
The President signed four sweeping executive orders on Friday, which together will significantly lower the cost of prescription drugs while increasing access to life-saving medications such as insulin:

The first order directs federally qualified health centers to pass along massive discounts on insulin and epinephrine from drug companies to low-income Americans.
The second order will allow the safe, legal importation of prescription drugs from Canada and other countries where the price for identical drugs is lower.
The third order will prohibit secret deals between drug manufacturers and pharmacy “benefit manager” middlemen, ensuring patients directly benefit from available discounts at the pharmacy counter.
The fourth order ensures the United States pays the lowest price available among economically advanced countries for Medicare Part B drugs. The United States often pays 80 percent more for these drugs than other developed nations.

Go on X and see how his American supporters are crying foul that it's either ABC gave Kamala the questions beforehand, or that her handlers are the ones that set the questions.
You can analyse the outcome more than his real supporters, right?
ABC didn't give the questions.
They gave her the answers.

It was at this point he started losing it. He went bananas the moment Harris got into her skin talking about his rally's crowd.

The guy is just a bully that was rightly put in place. There were lots of talk about Harris getting on his skin before the debate... But I didn't expect Harris to get on his skin so easily as she did.

Obama was right... Trump is too obsessed with crowd size... For me, he can easily be flattered or provoked into wrongdoing... Not an ideal candidate to be a commander in chief.
Can you just do a summary..How specific are Kamala plans vis-a-vis ze Trump ones. What did people learn objectively from the debate.
Trump closing was good. Why now when she had 3.5 years.
