      It isn’t.

      Acknowledging them with anything more than “you’re weird” just give the lie oxygen.

        I agree. I really wish that when Biden Trump was going off on the stolen pets that were eaten, Harris would have asked Trump if he was okay and told the audience that we needed a psychiatrist to administer Trump the MoCA again.

          I think you mean Trump instead of Biden there. But yeah I kind of wish Harris would hit harder on how it’s a blatant fear mongering lie instead of leaving it up to the milquetoast moderators.

    The fact that they can’t believe a person can successfully respond to questions without someone else whispering the answers in their ear does not speak well for them.

    Maybe Trump should wear audio earrings, if that is even a thing that exists.

      Now that I think of it, I have never seen Kamala Harris eating. Why? Because she eats cats probably. Otherwise she would proudly publicise her eating habits.

        Which is how we know that Biden only eats vanilla ice cream cones, Obama eats only Dijon Mustard, Trump eats only hamberders and Goya products, and Jimmy Carter only eats peanuts.

        Everyone else? Cats and dogs

          No. I’m lazy. You speak for me.

          For the next 15 minutes, @drolex@sopuli.xyz is my official spokesperson. Anything they say, I endorse and double.

              Oh wow, true story time:

              Last week I had to go to my mom’s house to pick up half of a cat from in front of her house. Something had eaten most of the rest of it, but its head was still in pristine condition.

              That was a nightmare trying to get everything onto a shovel so that I could quickly bag the whole thing in one go. I still can’t believe how clean and intact most of the torso bones were…

              That poor kitty…

              Oh shit! I just got it! I said “endorse and double,” so you said “halves of cats,” meaning whole cats.

              Fucking hilarious. That was a slow burn with a really enjoyable finish. Bra-fucking-vo.

              I’ve been quietly chuckling at this for about 5 whole minutes now.

    I was talking to a friend about this. We both agreed that with current technology, IF they wanted to use earpieces, they would be so tiny and far enough in the ear, that we would never see it.

    Trump was wearing a bandaid earpiece, but the only thing playing was the sounds of women and children suffering.

    She was wearing Tiffany earrings. Another article showed the side by side of her earrings and the tiffany ones and it’s an exact match

      It’s a stupid, conspiratorial accusation, but it would matter. The point of the debate is to get a sense of how a candidate performs off the cuff. They weren’t allowed any notes or materials. If a team was feeding her bullet points, that would deceptively give her an advantage in the debate.

        I guess I get it. It would feel terrifying to do debates without any notes though.
