and Kamala had Trump for lunch!
There’s usually one big takeaway from every debate, especially at the Presidential level. From Tuesday nights must-watch TV, Blaska’s lasting impression was this: Donald Trump’s scowling face. One look the whole two hours. Reminded the groundlings splayed out on the carpet in front of the b&w Philco of Big Brother from the Orwell book.
Maybe the nation is going down the tubes (dare we say it?) like you’ve never seen before.” Maybe we are a failing nation; seriously in decline, being laughed at. In which case, scowling is almost patriotic. Where is a flag we can hug?
Yes, blame the ABC moderators for fact checking Trump, not once but twice. It’s not their place. But they asked tough question of both. They asked Kamala Harris about her flip flops, she covered up. (Get ready for boxing metaphors.)
ABC asked Kamala if she bears any responsibility for Afghanistan. She tried to turn it around on Trump (unsuccessfully in our opinion.) ABC asked if Kamala supported any restrictions on abortion whatsoever, but she never answered. ABC pointed out that no state allows post-birth abortion; but that isn’t what Trump said. Kamala would allow it to the moment of delivery.
Kamala Harris took it to Trump where it hurt when she jibed that people “leave your rallies early out of boredom.” (We know many Trump supporters who went to bed somewhere in the midst of the man’s convention peroration.)
If Trump were president, the Democrat alleged, “Putin would be sitting in Kiev right now. … Dictators would eat you for lunch. … Military leaders laugh at you.”
So who does Trump name check as a supporter? Hungary’s authoritarian Viktor Orban! Which is not to say that the 45th President didn’t get in some of his own haymakers.
“She hates Israel; she wouldn’t meet with Netanyahu because she went to a sorority party.” (Actually, spoke to a convention of her college sorority, but he landed the punch.) But what is this business about illegal immigrants eating our cats and dogs? It may have happened. Someone is going to cite a NewsNation report as proof. But what a fool to go down that rabbit hole!
The wonderful New York Post this morning (we’re on Long Island today) headlines “KAMBUSH!”
Donald Trump wasn’t just debating Kamala Harris last night; he also had to battle ABC News … who never fact-checked her but repeatedly interrupted him and asked him tougher questions.
Folks, if you’re blaming the referees, you lost and deservedly.
Like French generals, Trump keeps losing the last election. This is getting tiresome; “Our elections are bad. There’s so much proof; all you have to look at it.” As for the 60 or so court decisions he lost: “They said we didn’t have standing; I’ll show you Georgia, and Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.” Independents will show him the door.
In addition to dictator Orban, who else did Trump name check? Proud Boy martyr Ashli Babbitt, the window-smashing woman at the spearhead of the January 6 insurrectionists who were chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” Honest to Gawd! Trump pointedly refused to condemn the seditionists. That’s one way to lose your country. We can survive expensive gasoline but not losing the Constitution.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: We acknowledge that one can win a debate but deserve to lose the election. Trump managed to both last night. Say this for Trump, he kept faith with MAGA nation but he did nothing to win over the one-half of one percent who will decide this election.

I sense Trump/MAGA fatigue….
Love the white kitten snapshot…awww! I’ll bet Enzo is demanding equal time. Why not post a cutesy shot of the little fluff-ball?
About last night (yawn, meow) it seems that the wind is now at VP Harris’s back.
Am waiting for the tRump pet cookbook to come out. Only 60 bucks for 101 recipes. Order early.
Trump grabs those cute little kitties, immigrants eat ’em. Not a good time to be feline.
To keep them feline fine, those childless cat ladies better keep those cute little kitties inside. 😸
Spotted Owl Helper, anyone?
Richard, you are a stitch.🐀

Blaska Fact Check: Trump Fact-Checked By ABC Moderators FIVE TIMES While Harris Left Alone
“Folks, if you’re blaming the referees, you lost and deservedly.”
Very naive statement, refs/umps blowing calls, or downright cheating, are legion; the 1972 USSR USA Olympic Basketball final, the blown Jerry Rice fumble call in the waning seconds of the 1998 NFC Wild Card Game, and the 2014 NFC Championship Game between the 13 Time World Championship Green Bay Packers and the Seahawks Fail Mary to name just a few.
Don’t get The Gotch started on boxing…..

REGARDLESS OF WHOM YOU BELIEVE WON THE DEBATE YOU ARE AN AMERICA HATING BUFFOON IF YOU VOTE FOR A CORRUPT, CRIMINAL, VILE ADMIN THAT IS DESTROYING AMERICA WITH INFLATION, BORDER INVASION, ABHORRENT ALIEN CRIME, LAWFARE, SICK MEDICAL CHILD ABUSE, MULTI-WARS, FAMILY CRIMINALS (HUNTER), TELL ME WHEN TO STOP!!!!
END OF STORY!!!!
TRUMP 2024!!! BANK IT!!!
Are you having a stroke Dude? Shall we call 911 or 988 for you?
With moderators like that it might have been ABC’s Bud Light moment. Can they alienate half the country and walk away unscathed? Doubtful.
Orban as an “authoritarian” is a hard sell, especially compared to how the western EU leaders govern. Rod Dreher has some good takes on Orban.
I agree with One Eye: ABC will pay a price for their blatant partisanship. On a larger note however I think that the average American likes fair play and rules equally applied to everyone. What we saw last night was another example of the elite left not playing fairly. I think this plays into Trump’s hand. Most people feel screwed over in some way by the government and sympathize with all the lawfare and media bias and so forth against Trump. Throw in some Harris vacuous word salads and a dash of “it’s the economy, stupid” and I’m feeling hopeful this November.
Don’t like being “fact checked?” Then stop saying things that are off the chart STOOOPIDD. They did it twice because both statements were such blatantly off the chart lies that they couldn’t let it slide. NO state kills children after they are born. NONE, ZERO. If you think they do then you’re a bigger fool than DJT. Well; it’s time to fire up the grill, go to the animal shelter and pick up dinner.
Well with the price of meat caused by rampant unchecked inflation, with adoption fees, it just might be cheaper. Get there fast, the big meaty breeds go fast. Obama did support killing viable babies. they attempt to erase history but haven’t succeeded yet.
I should call RFK and get some bear cub delivered.
And there’s that 2012 incident when RFK Jr. chainsawed the head off of a whale carcass washed up on the beach at Hyannis Port, MA and bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the drive back to NY state. His granddaughter claims whale juice kept dripping onto the windshield, according to an article in The Guardian for Aug 27, 2024. Was Mr. Kennedy planning to open a sushi stand? Maybe that’s how he contracted brainworms. The article further states that he had or has a fondness for BBQed dog.
Went to this new ethnic food truck last night. “Rack of Lab with a side of Noodles and Poodles.” Tasty. E-mailed RFK with the address. Hope to see him there soon.
‘The worst attack on America since the civil war!’ Kamala Harris referring to January 6… one day before the 23rd anniversary of 9/11.
Klueless (sic) Kacklin’ Kamala klaim (sic): “As of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone, in any war zone around the world, THE FIRST TIME THIS CENTURY.”” (bolds/caps/italics mine)
Reality: Over 10000 TROOPS Currently In Combat Zones.
Could be the same despicable Lefty who made up those 818000 JOBS researched that crock-o-$#!t…?

Nice piece, Dave. You never disappoint, even when you’re wrong (not this time).
And wow, Dave. I learned from the comments that you are AN AMERICA HATING BUFFOON. You may be many things, but you sure ain’t that.
Apparently you have displeased DER KULT.
Only someone who’s really Really REALLY STOOPID (sic) thinks Kacklin’ Kamala didn’t lie her phat @$$ off last night, ergo, res ipsa loquitur!
The Gotch
Hopeless Changey’s had him some Puppy Chow/Hot Diggity Dog/Lassie Lasagna and he LUVs illegals; maybe they got the idea from him…?

The cat/dog food stuff was a zero, I agree. But, as to your comments about Trump’s scowl and monotonous facial expression, I think the man is exhausted — but he was still there (unlike her absence with the black reporters). I’d like to see you (and I love you, Dave) go through what he has for the last 8 years and paste a smile on your face at every public appearance. He’s a warrior. She’s a disgusting Marxist liar. Take your pick; but if it’s not Trump, don’t you DARE pick for me
Didn’t watch the debate due to circumstances beyond my control. During the show I had to check if the front driver side tire on the Suburban was low. Then watch a Scrubs rerun. Then a Red Dwarf rerun. Time well spent! Little can be learned from seeing the act live anyway. You can however gleen some actually useful stuff by watching how the different sides express their joy or angst afterwards. Naturally, the MAGA crowd seems to think, despite being outnumbered, Trump won. The left seems to feel that Kammy cleaned up. I thought the reaction of the undecided, the only bunch that in a real sense matters, was the most telling. After the debate, Reuters interviewed 10 people who were still unsure how they were going to vote before, “Six said afterward they would now either vote for Trump or were leaning toward backing him. Three said they would now back Harris and one was still unsure how he would vote.”
