What tears?  Trumps "eating cats" faux paus has gone absolutely berserk on the interwebs, MSM and the right wing conspiracy rags.  All people are talking about is the Biden/Harris migrant problem in Springfield.  He couldn't buy that kind of exposure to the Harris/Biden migrant problem. (See how I changed it up?)

 

Cats and geese are a tiny part of that.  Accidentally, he hit a home run.  It's been a great few days.  And Trump just rubbed some dirt on it and go back in the game.

 

What a wonderful example of complete denial!😆

 

PS. I would ask you what "it" Trump rubbed dirt on but I'm already getting an image in my mind that will be hard to erase.

KhunLA - Sigh.  Sad but probably true.  This WAS at one time or other a forum for expats actually LIVING in Thailand.

I guess we have a fundamental disagreement about the role of a moderator in a political debate. To me, the moderator is the timekeeper and questioner. Not fact checker.  Political debates I have seen in England and Canada are this way. The mods stay out of the way as much as possible and let the candidates have at it.  It also seems to be the way during candidate selection debates for both parties. Only in the general election does the whole "mod as fact checker and truth teller" seem to appear.  

And  with harris and walz ,Americans more than likely can expect more of the same attitude when it comes to chaos on city streets.

 

“People will use crime data to say whatever they want,” said Jeff Asher, a criminologist and co-founder of AH Datalytics. “When you don't have that certainty of having nearly every agency reporting data, it means that you need a lot of literacy to be able to combat items that are being stated in bad faith.”

I live in Thailand and I actually want to hear from both sides the apparent lies! 

 

Come on and give it to me. With as the forum dictates credible links.

If you aren't familiar with the expression "rub some dirt on it and get back in the game", you never went to a real American grade school or high school.  Unless you went to one of those artsy city schools with no PE coaches.

Trump just said he will deport all Haitians and send them back to Venezuela .  How stupid can a man be?

 
Maybe a faux pas, maybe not.  With the civil war still raging in Haiti, he can't send them there.  He's not evil.  Maybe they came to the USA by way of Venezuela? 

 

Or maybe he mis-spoke.  People do that sometimes when they get so happy about things going their way.

 

Who knows?  And where's the link that he actually said it?  Funny how we need links but you guys can say whatever crap you want.  And if there is a link, I want the whole statement.  Not 3 carefully curated words.

Not at all. Never went to a fancy rural high school, with you fancy electricity and running water. I was home schooled and frequently wrestled with beers and wolves.

Schools are for wimps!

If the facial expressions were meaningless, why did she make such a big deal of making them?  She must have had coaching, and practiced for hours.

No she had those moves down pat long ago:

Let's assume your post is not a pathetic attempt at grasping at straws.

Why would Venezuela let the expelled Haitian people get out of airplanes?

In front of over 50 million the 3 on 1

bash ( live fact checking, one sided)was performed for the first time in a Presidential  debate.The following statement below must include “news networks” and politicians are taking advantage ,the next time they update their coverage .

4 Reasons We Should Worry About Missing Crime Data

The FBI’s crime data is still incomplete — and politicians are taking advantage.

I still might vote for him but to be fare, he lies more than 99% of people I've come across.  He lies so much that it becomes a non-issue for many.

 

  Weird but over 8 years I've adjusted to his despicable nature.  He isn't always a buttt head and some of his policies are OK.  He does seem to be more Presidential this election cycle but the bar he set last cycle was very low.

"He does seem to be more Presidential this election cycle".

 

In the debate you've seen how he handles being contradicted: not well. Doesn't bode well for acting presidential in talks with other country 's leaders.

I probably shouldn't have commented without watching the debate.  For some reason I have lost interest in this election.  Maybe tomorrow but might opt for the molar extraction I've been putting off.

It wasnt a equal platform( debate)it was blatantly deceptive!

 

I like no wars and unhistorical  illegal migration numbers during Trumps 4 years, as POTUS.

If you like harris avoiding and deflecting questions and pivoting toward the middle starting when she and her party disenfranchised 14 million primary voters, go for it!

It's nearly impossible to be equal and is all about perspective.  My conservative friends agree with you but at the same time most thought he didn't do well regardless of the moderators.  Can't win them all.  

 

Sorry, don't get why you are posting a link about losing Biden's primary voters.  It is obvious who they will be voting for now.  This election has little to do with policies and everything to do with the voters' team winning. Hard to get excited about watching one team insult the other team. Yawn....

Think you are referring to my molar.  Don't have real dentist offices here and have to do it at the hospital(shack).  last visit was painful and the pain dragged on for weeks.  I have good teeth and that was my first painful dental visit. On second thought, the debate can't be that painful.

you dont get why i posted a link ?

Members who make claims must support their claims or they can be susceptible to having them pulled for unsubstantiated !

Every day Trump spends whining about the moderators is a day lost on the campaign.

 

Right now, Harris doesn't have to win days, she can just let Trump eat up the clock with side issues.

Yes, and not just that, he created a whole pandemic which he maliciously passed on to the Biden administration. This was carefully fact checked by ABC....oh wait..

When Joe Biden took over, the COVID pandemic was at its peak. Do you disagree?
