    Is that what they think caused him to talk about post birth abortions? And immigrants eating cats and dogs? Her non existent ear piece?

    Ya but Trump has a replacement Bluetooth ear. That’s the only way to explain his magical ear healing powers

      I would say bone conduction might conceivably work, except those earrings clearly were not touching any bone.

      Primarily though, even if they did work, that didn’t make him say all the crazy shit. Being fed answers through her earrings didn’t force him to talk about people eating dogs and immigrants being given gender reassignment surgery in prisons.

        He had to say crazy shit because of the covid treatment that the deep state forced on him when he got covid.

        Yeah, the right doesn’t seem to understand that Trump lost because of what he said, not what others did to him. “Unhinged old man screams about things he saw on TV that aren’t real” seems to work for them.

    Honestly, how else could it be explained that she is up-to-date and ready to coherently speak on current topics, such as may be asked during a presidential debate? STUDYING? PREPARING, you say? What lunacy is this? Real presidential candidates spend their days golfing and rage-tweeting from the toilet!

    Let’s say she did have an earpiece in. Why should I be mad about it? Every speech a president ever gives is going to be read from a teleprompter and written by a staffer.

      I was thinking the same thing, but to play devil’s advocate:

      “Why am I not allowed to bring my phone into the exam? Any job I use this qualification for is going to let me have access to my phone anyway.”

        Here’s the thing about these debates: The Republicans have no platform or policies. All they have is old white people fears. So the debate sounds like this:

        “What is your stance on minimum wage?”

        “The minimum wage should increase so that all Americans can afford to survive in this nation.”

        “WOKE MIGRANTS ARE GONNA FORCE YOUR KIDS TO GIVE YOUR TRUCK A SEX CHANGE OPERATION!”

        And you’re going to tell me there’s a meaningful winner of this mediocre reality TV show?

      Theoretically, debates are supposed to be off-the-cuff. But like I said to someone else, even if beneath the podium, Frank Oz was controlling her because she’s really a Muppet… that didn’t force him to say anything about immigrants eating dogs and he knows because he saw it on TV.

        Exactly this. Kamala Harris didn’t necessarily WIN, so much as Donald Trump wadded the whole debate up and threw it in the fireplace. She made some arguably-innocuous jabs and Trump got INCREDIBLY bent out of shape about it, and looked incredibly unprofessional and non-presidential yelling about how immigrants were eating dogs and Democrats were executing babies in the ER.

    I wouldn’t even care if they could prove that she was directly coached by a professional roast comedian…. You know… could you imagine a world where trump shows up to the debate and found a whole panel of roasters just start dunking on him for 2 hours straight.

    I’m always astonished how outlandish and foreign basic leadership competency is to Republicans that anytime anyone displays it, it’s so mind-fuckingly unbelievable to them that they develop conspiracy theories involving 5G, covert alliances, secret high-tech earrings, and whatever else as more convincing than “she studied and prepared for the debate.”

      Saw a clip where he mentioned someone was slipping her “the right answers”. I think he meant to say “the opposite of the shit policies I support”.
