She’s very nervous, but Trump is talking now and he sounds equally over prepared and nervous. Neither of them are connecting at this stage. Kamala needs to gather herself, fast.

more updates soon…

This is worse than Biden by far. I can’t watch any longer. What a fucking disaster. This will be very bad for Harris. She is going to have an uphill battle from here.

She has not worked out how to counteract the lies.

Oh dear, Trump has finished and nothing has changed, what a bunch of fucking idiots are running her campaign. This was her opportunity to fucking connect, not play the fucking game. She has fucked up Big Fucking Time.

Now Harris is just staring at Trump while he, first called her words lies, then proceeded with his usual firehose of lies with NO FUCKING PUSHBACK at all.

This is a real time nightmare. Does America have a collective death wish, this is insanity. If they end up with Trump then you cannot say they do not deserve it.

I’m just hearing them both blather. This is going to be dubbed Biden 2.0

Now the abortion firehose of lies comes out of Trump’s mouth, then after Harris speaks the first thing Trump said was “Lies”. That is exactly how Steve Schmidt said on yesterday’s edition of The Warning, Harris should precede her answer to Trump’s lies. Schmidt gave the Harris team good advice, the Democrats ignored it, and someone passed it on to Trump.

It’s suddenly come to life, Harris baited him with his crowd size and talk of Hanibal Lecter and that was all Trump needed, he went off on a lunacy rant will he now unwind… Harris is beginning to finally relax.

Trump continues to lie about crime and predictably says how much crime is up, and I cannot believe it but instead of calling that a lie, instead of suggesting people look it up and they will find that crime of all kinds was higher under Trump, instead of that…nothing. He once again is getting no meaningful pushback from Harris.

I really believed Harris would have worked this out. What Harris needed to do was not answer anything and instead point out the mechanism of Trump’s lies.

Harris talking about, treating Trump as a normal person, treating this debate as nothing unusual. This is fucking insane, what the fuck am I watching here. This is going to be another Clinton result. How can that even be possible. Harris has gone back to her whiney voice, when she needs to bring her prosecutors voice.

I’m sorry, and I’m also surprised, Kamala Harris is a dope, she has been duped by an absolute imbecile. A dolt, a liar a fantasist, a demented fool, and Kamala Harris has not been able to deal with it. She just let Trump wash her with his firehose of lies.

I do not believe that Trump will win because that would simply be too insane, but what needs to happen is a mandate in the House and the Senate. Because the damage that the corrupt supreme court has done.

Trump is spraying his lies over everyone in every direction about every subject and no one is calling him out, no one is explaining what he is doing in real time, no one is dismantling the magic trick in real time.

Trump just got challenged on his recent admission that he lost the election ‘by a whisker’. Then incredibly he does wheels out the ‘it was sarcasm’ defense. The moderator was incredulous at that but nevertheless Trump got to have it both ways again, without being called out, that he is in fact saying whatever he needs to depending on the audience. This is what I mean when I say that Harris needs to provide a meta commentary on Trump.

I can’t listen to the rest, Trump is just spewing all the usual stuff that he says all the time, making it even more baffling that the Harris team was not prepared. Harris would have done better prep by simply watching a few months worth of clips from The Meidas Touch Network, which would also give her better legal attack lines as well.

Harris, should have ignored her advisors, they learned nothing from Biden’s debate freeze up. She should have reached out to Anthony Davis, Steve Schmidt and Ben Meiselas, that would have covered all the bases and is what proper preparation would look like. I mean nine years of Trump, it really should be figured out by now.

I had to look again and Harris is finishing stronger and more confident talking about Ukraine and Putin, but she needed prompting from the moderator. OK we back to Afghanistan. Harris is bringing up Trump’s invitations to Camp David.

Harris wobbled a bit and didn’t focus on the insanity of making a so called ‘deal’ with the Taliban. She needed to go in hard on that but she was not prepped. In the end we go to a break with Harris landing a few blows, however Trump gets to say his tariff lies again, without pushback. Even worse though is that Trump gets to use his ‘millions of dollars to the Bidens schtick’, which would normally give Harris a chance to talk about the two billion dollars to Kushner’s investment fund or whatever it is. Instead we go to a break. A free hit for Trump there.

There appears to be surprising good reviews of Harris, but that only tells me that no one still understands how to expose the naked emperor, Trump. This is important because while this debate will not change the outcome of the election, if Harris doesn’t win by a substantial margin Trump will be a continued albatross around America’s collective neck.

You see the thing about dealing with Trump’s lies is not to ignore them, or to blandly fact check them but to understand that the problem is not with the lies themselves, the puzzle is why the fuck are so many tens of millions of of Americans are ready to be so credulous as to blithely give up their democracy.
