      I’d call Trump “Courage the Cowardly Dog” but that doesn’t fit at all. Courage actually cared for his people and Trump has never cared about anyone but himself.

        That name was tongue in cheek, because Courage did the bravest things in each episode while shaking like a leaf the whole time.

          Which really teaches us that courage is not the absence of fear, it’s doing the right thing irrespective of fear.

        Courage actually had courage. Doing what you need to do to save/help the people you love, even tho you are so fucking terrified your skeleton screams separately from your flesh.

    I’m calling it: The Onion will have a news title that says “Trump agrees to another debate to the condition that it is against Joe Biden”

      The Onion is an absolute treasure, and I’m glad they got bought by a dude who just wants them to keep doing what they’re doing.

      If the next onion title isn’t “Donald Trump considering murdering JD Vance to increase poll numbers.” then the onion has failed me.

    After the debate ended Tuesday night, Republican Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia posted to X, “You want to know who won? Find out who refuses to do a 2nd debate.”

    I know some folks are falling all over themselves to fawn over the various Republicans who have the, um, courage to come out against Trump now, but all I can see is a bunch of self-interested rats leaving the sinking ship.

    I figure the “I was never really a supporter” will start from both elected officials and your Republican neighbors and family members about 1 day after the election gets called for Kamala.

    And if Kamala somehow loses, it will be “I knew he could do it all along.”

    When a prizefighter loses a fight so badly he doesn’t want to get back in the ring, they retire.

    I gotta hand it to her. She started off like a boring milk toast politician with that first answer, then she gave a debate performance that debate teams will study for years.

    This debate will be THE textbook example of how to counter a machine gun barrage of lies and how to get your opponent talking about your issues.

        This made me curious so I looked a bit into it. Seems that milquetoast as an insult originates from an old comic character of the same name, and it’s at least feasible (and perhaps likely) that said character was named after milk toast.

      It really helped that the mics were muted. She would have done well if they weren’t I think, but he’d have been interrupting her nonstop.

      OR he is actually mentally declining and/or aging and he doesn’t have the stamina to over talk his opponents for two hours anymore.

    He’s not even proposing to do it on Fox.

    His campaign knows that he’d also get completely served if he was on his propagandist’s network.
