mediaite.com

When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.” Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate. She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class. Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe – It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS. KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!

He mad.

hes finally realised the world is actually laughing at him. its not just an insult people say. Everyone is literally laughing at how stupid and incompetent this weird felon is

The trailer for the Trump biopic coming out soon has a line that explains a lot. "No matter what happens, claim victory." (I may be paraphrasing)

Trump obviously took those words to heart, because it is something he lives by. It may actually be the only thing he really believes in.

Trump in all likelihood has known people laugh at him for decades. This isn't news to him. This is the same strategy he's always had. No matter what, claim victory. Reality isn't important. He will keep saying he won, always, no matter what happens.

With Trump, I think this goes way deeper than a learned strategy to claim victory no matter what. Trump has narcissistic personality disorder, and his brain can't conceive of a situation where he doesn't win. At his core are such deep-seated insecurities about himself that the only way his brain can cope with itself is to never show vulnerability by creating a fictional narrative in which he's the winner all the time. It would be incredibly pathetic if it weren't so terrifying. Someone like him who wasn't born into extreme wealth would be lonely and broke right now

Trump in all likelihood has known people laugh at him for decades

He was even mocked in the comic pages of the newspapers back in the 80s

the worst thing is his followers don't know the difference and think he always wins

ok fine when's the vp debate that should be fire

Vance will be weird as fuck. Walz will be folksy and charming.

Trump's heart will pop if Vance and Walz get better ratings. So I'm gonna make sure to catch it live

You don't wanna catch any of that rotted spew when it does. Stand clear, and have the flamethrower ready to contain the spread.

Nuke it from orbit! It’s they only way to be sure…

Ooh, a little bit of tungsten could go a long way to helping out here, eh? Say, from orbit?

Sounds like a sitcom?

One and a Half Men

and couch

This is a family television network, we don't allow that kind of smut here

It would end me on the spot if Walz had some guys carry a couch out on stage right off the bat and place it between them.

Where they share an apartment in Des Moines next to a pair of kooky sisters who works as tarot readers?

one of the sisters is trans and the other is a Republican

But we don't know which is which!

Can they also both be Wiccans so we also don't know which witch is which?

Ok, but only if they hang out at a hole in the wall resteraunt with a gruff cook, and an over the top gay head server who faces issues outside the resteraunt, but is well protected in the resteraunt. With a bunch of resteraunt regulars who seemingly never leave.

“J.D., why do you keep getting the Couch card?”

Audience laughs

I'm generally not a sit com person.
But that sounds cute. I'd give it a chance.

Walz is folksy and charming when he's trying to be affable but he is still a shrewd politician and I bet he will eat Jimmy Dean alive.

  1. Lose Debate
  2. Tantrum <-- we are here
  3. Complain election will be rigged.
  4. Lose election.
  5. Claim election was rigged.
  6. No one cares.
  7. Go to jail.
  8. Become old and frail and irrelevant before Christmas.

Point 3 has been ongoing since 2015

It's the point 6 where I think you might be deadly wrong. I hope you're not. But they're a lot more prepared this time, with judges in position to create enough scrutiny to question the election results, long enough to cause a lot of people who care get their beliefs reinforced that the country is lost to cheaters, and are ready to do a lot more than Jan 6.

Shhh. I'm being optimistic!

Seriously though, I think it depends how convincingly he loses. It's no secret that's the game plan, hopefully the dems have some counter measures in place.

I mean will it matter? If he loses a little it'll be "rigged to sway a small amount of votes" if he loses by a lot "it's so rigged they aren't even trying to make it look close!"

Yes it matters.

It's not really important what Trump says.

It will come down to pressuring officials to fudge the results. The less fudging required, the easier it will be.

He's rightfully afraid.

Since he supposedly won the debate I guess he got a ton of donations....

Nope but Harris raised 47 M while his stock price instantly dropped. Hmmm.

I do appreciate that he claims losers demand rematches without acknowledging that he is in a rematch after he lost 2020. Meanwhile, his wingman says celebrity billionaires should stay out of politics. Not a shred of self-awareness.

No no, Trump owes too much to Russia and the Saudi's. So he's not actually a billionaire but a desperate rat who has his debtors breathing down his neck. Therefore there is no conflict of interest!

He says he won and Kamala is proposing a "rematch". If he actually believes that he won he would gladly take the rematch. But he declines it, because he didn't win. He knows he didn't win and he is afraid that another debate would mean his utter defeat. All he is doing now is damage control.

Yeah I was gonna say, the other thing prizefighters do is never back down from a fight lmao

He must've lost the Biden debate then because he wanted another one. 🤔

This guy and his name calling lol. What grade is he in?

"I won the Debate." - lol, what?? There were no points. No one won. It was merely a chance for each candidate to appeal to the voters.

"Everyone knows this" - No they don't. If everyone knew that, he wouldn't be saying it just like he's not saying that we're on planet Earth because everyone already knows that.

"KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD." - She was the Vice President. Her role is basically to break ties in the Senate and go to social gatherings to fill in for the President.

"THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" - Cause he saw how much it affected him in the polls. If the debate had helped him, he'd be calling for more debates. It would make no sense to be losing but declining debates because it helped the polls.

He must have seen how stupid he looked up there. She was laughing at him with his stupid pet-eating rant. The dude tanked his chances with that part alone. The "concepts of a plan" was just a bonus.

During the debate, he said Kamala should sign a bill that congress never passed.

Trump was later heard saying

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb. In the shape of an "L" on her forehead.

If only Weird 34 was cool and coherent enough to quote Smash Mouth (and not get sued). Instead we get diarrhea dialogue.

Can someone please explain what's up with the random capitalization that every Republican - and particularly Trump - always seems to use? By my count, he unnecessarily capitalized at least 14 words.

Old people think caps means important, but it just means old man yells at cloud.

Online scam artists tend to do it, along with random emphasis. It just makes the person using it seem illiterate to me, but we're not the target market.

Think dick pills, pick up artists, conspiracy theorists, and so on.

I've only really seen Trump doing it.

People have theorized about it before. At one point, Trump stated on Twitter that he did it to highlight important things.

It's really hard for me to comprehend why people are voting for this guy. He's so childish. Thinnest skin in the world. I don't get it.

Because the people voting for him are - themselves - childish, contrarian, armchair political pundits, who picked a jackass because they started out thinking it was a funny meme, but now have to pretend like they did it on purpose because someone said they were a fucking moron at thanksgiving and they're leaning into it out of spite.

Well, that's some of them. Some of them are just fucking idiots who think that the rising racist tide will lift their boat higher than the minorities that get paid more than them (because they're actually good at their jobs).

She was a no-show at the Fox Debate

Fox asked offering three possible dates and he declined. But his idiots will believe him because everything he says is basically direct from God. Psychos.

He's like any other pampered rich person when they don't get their way. I can't wait until he rots in house arrest.

The constant verbal insults he uses really tells us who the people are living around us. They support this. They are this.

When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.”

Sounds like he was this close 🤏 to realizing that politics isn't sports nor entertainment there... Although to be fair, his base certainly seems to treat it that way

His base doesn't think it's sports.

They think it's pro-wrestling, what bothers them is that they aren't always scripted to win like they're supposed to be.

Honestly I just want to see Trump in a town hall, like the famous Obama v Romney one from whence Ken Bone got his fame. That would be a fuckin show. Give Trump a mic but also give a mic to a few dozen people who can also respond to him.

Trump's achilles' heel is pride and ego. He surrounds himself with yes-people to constantly stroke that ego.

But he isnt dumb. He must know (maybe deep down) that she got under his skin and as a result she embarrassed him on national TV.

He cannot risk any more detriment to the ego.

No, he isn’t dumb. He’s a slave to his own worst impulses. Thus, you’re right. He must protect his ego.

lol there wasn’t even a first debate, there was just him getting flat out massacred by Harris

There was. It was with the real Biden. The second one was with the alternate Biden (SHE IS BIDEN!!!).

There wasn't a first debate. That was more of an ass-whipping. It was like watching a has-been WWE clown try to go into the ring with Tyson at his prime. Trump never engaged in debate, he just blathered and yammered like a demented, incontinent old racist.

In sports, yeah. In politics it's different: "Damn he was bad, I'd love to crush him again to steal as much voters as possible."

It’s okay to be scared donald, she would have kept destroying you and we all know it.

Drop out Don

Too late. He is on the ballot, just like a JFK he dropping very recently is too late as most states will still have him on the ballot which is hilarious.

bruh when he won against Biden he immediately said he wanted more debates

Dude could say “I’ll only do a second debate if it’s on Fox.” But it looks like he’s too afraid to even do that.

I’m reasonably sure he’d get owned on Fox too.

But no one has won, the election is the fight.

“No show at the Fox debate”

Lol. She never agreed to your offer to change the debate schedule. Fucking clown.

No shit, she handed him his ass on a platter. He won't do that again.

When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.”

Sure, but when an unprepared bigot loses a fight, they limp around pretending to be fine while saying whatever it takes to not get punched again.

Content warnings: blood, violence, language, body shaming. Honestly, about 98% of the people in this video are shitty people, but you get to see a couple of racists/bigots lose fights and admit they were wrong.

Sure they ask for a rematch.
Unless they're afraid they'll get humiliated again.

He got his orange bottom spanked. Now bring out JD and he can get spanked too.

Carful, that might get him hot and bothered and we have no idea who's sofa will have to pay the price!

That didn't last, lol. He has said he was ready to go for another debate in the last day or so.
