TRUMP'S GOING THERE

Trump actually cited the racist hallucination from yesterday that Springfield Ohio is “under threat” from immigrants. That was the least of the lies he spouted as he ran through his Greatest Hits.

He continued in subsequent statements. Harris kept citing the truth but Trump continued his bulldozer assault on reality. He’s basically riffing like Fat Elvis on the unreality he runs through at his hatealongs.

Quite frankly the TV was in danger of a shoe being thrown at it as he continued his bullshit, so I retreated to the writing office where I coould write contemporaneously on the “debate.” Quite frankly, I just want five minutes alone with him in a locked room, me and my Louisville Slugger.

With this as his start, it’s going to be interesting to see how far out he goes. He’ quickly called her a “Marxist” who will “ruin the country.”

Harris stuck to her grounding in reality. Without saying “that’s a lie” to each of Trump’s fantasies.

He went to “execution of babies after birth” as he defended his work to kill Roe v Wade.

The truth is, Trump is desperate and flailing, throwing everything he can against the wall.

It’s impossible to keep up with him on piece of particular shit by particular piece of shit. But his desperation is clear in the way he’s speaking.

At one point, I hit “mute” and watched the two of them. Trump: sweating and flailing and doing the “accordion thing” with his hands. Harris: calmly taking notes on what he said.

When the moderator corrected his bullshit on crime and cited the FBI, he responded “That’s a lie! That was a fake report! They didn’t report the right places!”

Harris commented on how the American people are exhausted by his bullshit.

He then attacked his convictions and indictments as “weaponized law.” Then went into his standard rant about how persecuted he is.

Trump came off as scared and upset. Harris came across as cool and collected.

He called the Russian losses at the outset of the war in Ukraine “fake news.” When asked it if was US interests for Ukraine to win he saidit was US interest to "stop this war as soon as possible," which he promised to do as president-elect though his "good strong relationship" with Putin.

Overall, what was on display was two hours of bullshit and baloney ranted by a sweating loser te way he spreads his lies at his hatealongs. The good news was these two moderators called him on his lies frequently. None of the ketchup he threw against the wall stuck.

Kamala Harris came across as knowledgeable and unflappable as Trump spread his squid ink. The winner was shown on the split screen: Trump was terrified old man “playing the accordion” - the tell when he’s lying - faster and faster.
