They really fucked up by forcing Trump to go through his court shit before election. Before that trial I doubt Donald himself had spent much time inside a courtroom because all his legal shit has always been handled by lawyers and not that serious. I stand by my thought that his trial is part of what helped temper his attitude some and helped him learn how to chill down under pressure, maybe he always had a more level head than I give him credit for, but post trial Donald seems to be an entirely different beast. And now that he has an assassination attempt against him where he didn't cower or run but stood up and fist pumped to the crowd, he has the same level headed appearance under extreme duress.

Kamala's entire schtick all along was to go at him like a "prosecutor" and expecting him to get flustered and angry. I am hopeful I'm right because I think Trump is prepared and won't go off tomorrow night, I think he'll be reserved. He already knows how they'll paint him if he dares even try to raise his voice to a woman anyway, I think we will get an even better version of what we got with Biden except with more interference from the network. They'll probably try to cut his mic any time he raises a good point and tempt him into going off without being totally audible, but all he really has to do is get her flustered and she will sink herself with word salad he can ask her to reiterate, knowing she can't.

Watching 2016+2020 Trump rally and 2024 Trump rally are completely different.... I didn't even like those early rallies personally. Too crazy. But 2024 rallies are just on point.

A wet paper bag couldve beaten Biden on that debate stage.

Regardless, if you just look at Trump's performance, the rules of the debate (no audience, muted mics, etc.) that were placed as to give him a handicap actually helped him. He showed he could debate in a linear way. This is why the Harris campaign is shitting their pants about this Tuesday. Because without her girl boss "I'm speaking" moment, she really has nothing.

Yes... That's what I was saying...

Trump's biggest problem is if he goes off topic during the debate.

Yes. The debate restrictions should certainly help him there. That said; Harris is a puppet, but she isn't Biden.
Hence why I believe he needs to pounce only when necessary as I don't think we'll reach "we finally beat Medicare." or "they're being raped by their in-laws, by their spouses, by their brothers and sisters. It's just ridiculous!" levels of setup.

Initially, I thought this was a joke.

But jokes on me, because I firmly believe that she treats her own voters (and campaign staffers) as jokes:

I never again want to hear anyone claim Trump is scared of Harris. This just seems to easy to mock, as if her PR crisis team knows she is not going to win and they did this to her on purpose.

They kidnapped Shane Gillis and threatened to take away his budlight if he didn't help Harris prep for the debate.

And then they turn around and never mention Biden even once. At least retcon him to be Stan's grandpa like how Trump was Mr .Garrison

The whole Garrison Trump thing really wasn't meant to be intentional. They were putting those episodes out during the 2015 Republican debates, when every single media outlet was not taking him seriously at all. That was actually really interesting, because the media was absolutely huffing their own farts and thought they were far more influential than they actually were in 2015. Maybe at one point they were, but I even doubt that. It's actually insane, because they should have gotten the message after Trump won the nomination that people really don't give a fuck what they have to say, but instead they doubled down, smugly declaring that Hillary would win in a landslide.
South Park got caught up in a pretty vicious cycle of that, for previous elections they would produce two different episodes depending on the winning candidate just in case of an upset, but they didn't even bother for 2016 because they were CERTAIN that Trump had it in the bag. They had like a million different opportunities to walk back the Garrison=Trump shit, and got caught with their pants down hard when it didn't work out. It definitely didn't help that they decided to serialize the show to go for a seasonal plot arc around the same time. It's pretty clear they practically have their foot out the door with South Park at this point. What they pulled with the streaming companies really proves that it's only for the paycheck now. Hell, the show is mostly just about Randy's whacky hijinks at this point.

Anyways, I think we are heading for another "caught with their pants down hard" moment for the media in general, they haven't really learned shit. The Trump-Biden debate of this summer really proves it when you take into account how many of these media personalities were caught off guard by Biden's condition. 2020 wasn't really healthy for them at all, they probably overdosed on huffing their own farts, thinking they were the reason they got Trump out of office. Never mind that it took COVID, unprecedented changes to the way voting worked, and some really fucking shady shit to do with ballots, and it STILL barely worked, because Trump still got a ridiculous amount of votes. I can actually feel their panic setting in, because they astroturfed the hell out of the initial Harris polling, and I think they may be starting to have an inkling of a worth that simply lying to voters and saying that she's super popular doesn't actually translate into actual voters.

Here's the thing... you are right she isn't Biden. But that is not entirely a good thing. Biden when he wasn't demented was sharp and a good debator. He was capable of being a vicious bastard. The dementia made him fumble but some of that old dog was still there. He was still quick to respond, the response was just fucked.

Harris... is -not- a good debater. She is quick to anger, slow to think. Prone to cackling when uncomfortable or to just fill silence. Where as Biden was painful to watch due to clear elder abuse, Harris very well could be worse to watch because she radiates wicked witch.

LOL Springfield, Ohio is DEF coming up at the debate on Tuesday. Vance is laying it out and talking about

Normies are hearing about animals (wild and pets) getting eaten in real time and its gonna be spectacular. All Trump has to do is tie Harris to "A retarded black dude is gonna eat your cats" to default almost every single AWFL. I'm hoping we get a straight up video on twitter later today or tomorrow.

>normies get more upset when illegal niggers are eating their pets than when they're raping and stabling people's daughters to death.

Don't be upset here, actually this is a good sign. The raping and stabbing was mostly successfully covered by the media back when it popped up. The pets thing, despite -possibly- being bullshit, managed to go right past the media. It is solid proof that there is a total breakdown in people who believe the media meaning memory holing is officially off the table!

Now it's a choice between whether you want to believe residents who have to live with what's going on around them who talk about it at city counsel meetings and post on Facebook vs. believing that the local police saying "this is not something that's currently on our radar" means that it's akchoolee 100% not happening guise, according to Rolling Stone. That anyone believes a media outlet over clear desperate pleas for help astounds me.

That video of the lady talking about her yard being invaded by angry Haitian squatters, that one broke me. You build a life and do everything right so you can enjoy a nice calm retirement and then the touring company of The Serpent and the Rainbow shows up to live in your yard, work the $8/hr "jobs Americans don't want to do", and eat your cat. Live for today, who knows who'll be dropped off in your driveway in 5, 10, 20 years.

Not that I'm aware of but the streaming sites are cancer and, at least before I quit using them, the players that they used were optimized for low variable bitrate video and absolutely choked when a high bitrate section of video came up, like when there was some kind of full screen effect like static or rapid fire scene changes

I use the vpn more to evade my ISP. I don't know of anyone getting notices for torrenting weebshit but I've seen people get notices from HBO for game of thrones so I just don't want the hassle of that

I'm not convinced that the Biden debate wasn't a work; the moderators behaved differently than they usually do, and suddenly all the media people were parroting "he has to drop out now," without any sort of back-and-forth between those who wanted to ride it out vs. those who wanted to change horses mid-stream like you would expect if there was genuine confusion.
