is what losers do!
Notice something? It’s never Donald Trump’s fault. The man who gave up his billionaire lifestyle, the perfect genius, did not lose the last election. Somehow, it was stolen right out from under him even while he served as President of the United States — betrayed by his own attorney general, Republican governors, and judges he, himself, appointed.
Nor did he lose last week’s 09-10-24 debate with Kamala Harris. It was stolen from him by the moderators on a network whose terms he agreed to. It’s always someone else’s fault. (Where’s Ray Epps when you really need him?)
Yes, the ABC moderators were one-sided. They fact-checked Trump in real time but not Kamala Harris. Although they did hit her with tough questions, never insisted that she actually answer. So, what was stopping Trump? The Republican nominee is a big boy; he’s been at this for nine years already. Did his handlers not anticipate bias?
Ted Cruz owned his biased moderators
The Head Groundskeeper is not yet so senescent that he has forgotten a debate from nine years ago in Boulder CO — a casting call of 10 Republicans that included the likes of Carly Fiorina and Rand Paul. CNBC hosted and there’s a reason they haven’t since. Moderators like John Harwood were dripping with obvious disdain for their task. A wonder that they weren’t wearing HazMat suits to forestall infection from the icky Republicans.
That presented Ted Cruz with a ready made target. He unloaded on the news media:
“This is not a cage match,” the Texas Republican said. “And you look at the questions — ‘Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?’ ‘Ben Carson, can you do math?’ ‘John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?’ ‘Marco Rubio, why don’t you resign?’ ‘Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?’ How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?”
Cruz’s media criticism drew loud applause at the University of Colorado Boulder, where the GOP field gathered for the CNBC-hosted event. — Sourced here.
No replay review
Of last week’s ABC debate, even conservative law prof Jonathan Turley concludes, “While Trump can legitimately object to a three-against-one debate format, Harris’s victory was clearly not dependent on bad calls by the refs.”
Blaska’s Bottom Lines: The man cannot think on his feet. He is an impulsive blunderbuss of free association and exploding synapses who just as often wounds his own supporters — who (like Lindsay Graham) are ready and willing to grovel. The shame of it is that his Democrat(ic) opponent is every bit the Marxist that Trump labeled her. (He did get off a good one.)
Deep down in places they would just as soon not visit, Republicans know that there is something very off kilter about this man for which cheap gas or building the wall cannot compensate. Supporters are crossing their fingers and hoping for another General Jack Kelly as chief of staff, which ain’t happenin’. He’s more likely to release the Proud Boys.
At this point, the None of the Above coalition is putting all its eggs into a Republican Congress. A little gridlock is the best we can hope for!

Squire,
You protest too often, too much. Something Freudian going on?
But you know I’m correct, which is why you can’t counter.
Reading minds again. not your forte.
Good God Blaska, give it a rest! Trump is a flawed character no doubt but way better than any representative from the anti-Democratic party. I read reports this morning that the Harris campaign pressured ABC about what questions they could/could not ask and colluded to fact-check Trump real time. Combine this with another assassination attempt and Trump is all but elected. I think you’ve spent too many lunches with former mayors and it’s clouding your thinking.
I do appreciate your comments. Maybe I am obsessing. But you are making my point. Not getting much in the way of substantiation for your latest conspiracy theory. MTG tweeted “The ABC whistleblower who claimed Kamala Harris was given debate questions ahead of the debate has died in a car crash according to news reports.” But no one can find the news reports. If you have links, post them.
“If you have links, post them.”
The PLOT THICKENS.
MONEY QUOTE: The ABSENCE OF OBVIOUS QUESTIONS that would have given Harris some difficulty answering was also striking, as was that HARRIS SEEMED TO HAVE CLEAR ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS SHE WAS ASKED at the tip of her tongue, when IN THE ONLY TWO INTERVIEWS SHE HAS DONE SINCE HER NOMINATION SHE WAS HALTING AND PRONE TO DESCENDING INTO GIBBERISH, AS_IS_HER_WONT.”(bolds/caps/italics mine)

Did Kamala know she would be asked about inflation, fracking, Afghanistan? Or did she need to be tipped off? Seriously, Gotch!
The tip off was the “black” question. She had her deck of race cards all ready… went back to the “central park five”. She knew.
No questions on the $35 trillion dollar deficit… Kamala’s race switching though is important to the ABC moderators.
“Did Kamala know she would be asked about inflation, fracking, Afghanistan? Or did she need to be tipped off?”
No fact-checking AND no questions about DementiaJoKe’s deteriorating_before_our_very_eyes health (what did she know and when did she know it?) and your takeaway is they’re “blaming the refs”?
Everything was on the up-n-up with a despicably lyin’, cheatin’, thievin’, deceivin’ group, with a DOCUMENTED HISTORY of such things AND that’s coming off the biggest COVER-UP since Watergate?
You think we all should just bend over and believe ’em…like with Hunty’s laptop, the Steele dossier, the pee tape, inflation is transitory, the border is secure, BiDUMBics is working, -818k jobs, and the entire WuHan Flu debacle?
Seriously, Blaska?

you read??
The only thing still making the rounds from the debate is immigrants are eating our cats and dogs. In the realm of persuasion it doesn’t have to be true. It’s why Joe and Kamala repeated the “fine people” hoax. Game, set, match Trump.
Trump won just getting Kamala on the stage. People got a reminder of how inauthentic she is. They might not even realize why, just a vague “ick” feeling.
Also funny to see Taylor Swift endorsement backfiring. Not surprised… we’re all pretty sick of her.
There will be more attempts. The Beltway bandits are getting very nervous.
vs authentic Trump??
Trump won the debate just like he won re-election four years ago.
Where are you going to go with your blog if Mr. Trump wins, Dave?
As surely as an assassin’s bullet can kill, that could happen.
It’s the price of beef, not that Trump always has one.

So now you have Kooter posted all the unverifiable nonsense that you used to post?
Yo, Kooter. You remember the old, joyless idiot that is still defending the twice impeached, owner of 34 felony convictions, pu##y grabbing, bankrupt 6 times, divorced 3 times contractor stiffing, golf cheating, liar. It’s your old wormy tomato bddy gootchee.
Richard, I’ve got some joy rattling around in my heart, and I try to avoid FB beefs. But I will exude more joy if defeat greets the Veep in the Biden administration, Ms. Harris. She has recorded a radio interview, the gist of which that she staunchly favored a “defund the police” position. Like a San Francisco liberal, she once favored a ban on fracking. That won’t earn her a quart of Pennzoil, if you see what I’m saying.
Joyfully, Kevin
Oh, and welcome back!
Trump said in Flint Mich. that nuclear weapons are the biggest threat to the auto industry. There’s your very stable genius. Do you agree with that statement?
Nuclear weapons are what Iran will have in a few years if Harris wins. Which means that nuclear war in the Middle East will be a certainty.
Mr. Squire, I suspect (or hope anyway) that you’ll exercise your private right to vote for the candidate least likely to hasten the fall of our Republic. You’re not obligated to tell your constituents a thing.
You know as well as anyone that a Harris Presidency could be our last “free” election. China, Iran, Russia et. al. know very well how vulnerable we are.
Yes Squire, you’re obsessing.
You meant to write that Trump promised his election would be the last.
“Donald Trump doubled down Monday on his recent statement that conservative Christians won’t have to vote again if they help elect him in November. At a campaign event for evangelical Christians last week, the former president said: “Christians, get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed. It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.”
‘Ya gotta love these moron republicans. They just can’t leave this pet thing alone. So far the governor, the mayor, the cops, every church have called BS on this. But, they just keep going. The gutless fools in DC will follow Trump and Vance no matter what. Ignore your voters at your peril. You disrupted their town, made them laughingstocks, put them in danger and just will not STFU. I wonder how many voters they lost in Vance’s home state over this. How many local elected republicans will be kicked to the curb? Can Vance be re-elected after losing in November? IDIOTS TO A MAN
No, They are men… to an idiot.

Both stories so true you don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
maybe all these stable genius’s should ask her a decent question instead of chasing trump around yapping about cats, dogs, whale heads, etc. why was he golfing and not on the trail campaigning the fat, lazy, slob.

Yes, I’m fully aware that I am skeptical of and biased against the media, and for some verifiably valid reasons, and that bias could directly and indirectly influence my perception of what I saw in the debate; however, the left’s advocacy pattern is transparently obvious.
Denying that the debate was rigged in favor of Harris doesn’t mean that Trump’s poor performance can be completely blamed on the ganging up on him by the three he was debating, but that ganging up MUST be seriously considered and not completely disregarded as completely insignificant. To completely disregarded the ganging up as completely insignificant is intellectually dishonest.
Personally, between Trump and Harris I don’t think either “won” the debate; but, I do think that the media in general and ABC specifically lost in a very big way. I think the result of this debate will be that we likely never again have a debate between the major Presidential candidates, and in that regard I think the American people truly lost due to this debate,
After watching the debate a few times on video, it became crystal clear to me that ABC News, the moderators, the Democratic Party, and the Harris Campaign colluded to rig the outcome and defame Trump as much as possible, yes I think they actually colluded. I didn’t watch the debate live as usual, I didn’t see any news or opinions regarding the debate until I reviewed it for myself. I reviewed the debate on video so I could rewind it as many times as I needed to see specific parts again. I actually spent several hours reviewing the debate on video at about 1:30am on September 11th (I didn’t get much sleep that night) rewinding very regularly and critically reviewing my own perception of what I saw. I go out of my way try to review these kinds of things multiple times and I make sure that my review is prior to viewing any other reviews or opinions and I do the best I can to think critically about what I see regardless of my bias. My opinion is based purely on my own thorough observations of the actual debate and now it’s possible that there is a behind the scenes whistleblower that has made claims of collusion between the Harris campaign and ABC. If an actual verifiable and truthful whistleblower exists it would certainly support the underlying manipulative patterns and narrative building that I noticed in the debate, but I’m not yet convinced that an honest whistleblower actually exists. I attribute the underlying manipulative patterns and narrative building that I saw to collusion and some post debate reporting appears to support my skepticism and collusion conclusion. It seems to me that political left is supporting my statement about their “pattern of propaganda lies within their narratives” again, they just can’t help it.
Regardless of the possibility of a whistleblower, I think the appearance of collusion between ABC and the Harris campaign in that debate warrants a Special Investigator of some sort and certainly some public under oath Congressional hearings. If actual collusion exists between our existing federal government, a partisan campaign, corporate business, and the media to favorably electioneer the election towards one candidate by means of rigging the debate then We the People of the United States of America need to know about it and we need to know the facts immediately!!!
Side Note: There was one point in the debate where I honestly wondered why Trump didn’t simply and calmly state, “I’m done with the three of you building your false narratives, and you two (pointing directly at the moderators) are a disgrace to journalism” then turn and walk off the stage.
Brava!

I see a lot of yapping about Harris, but no one saying how great trump is. What are you afraid of boys and girls. Is it that you know he’s full of crap. He lied and destroyed Springfield. People now live in fear, schools shutdown, stores closed, KKK is there, Proud Boys are there. Troopers are on the street. And what happens? Trump and Vance double down and lie more. Now they say 32,000 Haitians are there, not 20,000. Vance said they all came from Haiasia. Women are dying from lack of care while these old bastards get their Viagra covered by Social Security. The sad part is that you know in your heart that this criminal has no business being in the White House. At least Blaska has the courage to say it.
