This is Pledge Week here at WHTM. If you appreciate this blog, and can afford it, please click on the “donate” button below! Thanks!
It’s Debate Night here in the USA. The debate proper starts at 9 PM Eastern, but you can start talking, yelling, whatever right now and for as long as you want. Should this be a no-trolls thread? Yeah, let’s make it a no-trolls thread. And no Trump supporters, obviously.
I will be live-screaming the debate here in my apartment. If you’re outside my window, enjoy!
Here is another pledge week capybara for you all. Two of them, actually, with some hot capybara-on-capybara action:
I’m in Canada and watching on CNN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9m_hzXE7f4&noredirect=1 so that I get the fear-mongering American ads! There was already one about “black slaves in the 1800s”.
All of those links actually worked. I usually watch these things the next morning, so I suppose I just assumed official live streams would be region locked.
@Jen
I got one, take a drink every time Trump wins a debate point. If you’re not stone cold sober I might join you for some moonshine.
@Scildfreja
Pets mostly. I don’t really have a library of “oh fuck what have we done to have this scenario even have a chance of happening” pics.
@Jen – my drinking isn’t linked to anything in particular; I just have whiskey and my flask ran dry so I know I’ll be good.
Oh god it’s starting.
EDIT: My mom is heckling and it hasn’t even started yet for fucks sake.
It would be funnier if it weren’t my mom.
Debating whether to open a bottle of Maker’s and play a drinking game: take a sip whenever Trump tells an obvious lie. On the down side, it’s possible that that game might kill me.
eta: lol, was making literal popcorn and was slow on the uptake
I suggest a sip whenever Trump claims to be the saviour and protector of a group which he simultaneously vilifies.

Pizza guy just arrived! Right on time.
I’m really hoping that Trump literally catches on fire during the debate.
Hillary said “Equal pay for women’s work”! Do you hear that? It was like a million MRA jerkbutts cried out, and were not silenced.
First five minutes, and Clinton states policies while Trump states vague aspirations.
eta: new drinking game: take a sip whenever Trump says the word “beautiful” or “tremendous”
At the very least I get to see Clinton promote Bernie’s points.
Oh and talking down to trickle down economics
Talking about trump’s birth money and such. Talking about blue collar works. Yay talks of middle class.
I dub this a Trumpster fire.
Cutting taxes for the rich will be a beautiful thing to watch and will put money into the pockets of workers?

@Scildfreja
I am so very sorry.
*Raises glass*
A toast: to spontaneous combustion.
Oh god, he’s seriously gonna be this fucking vague in the presidential debates too? Whenever he’s asked to give examples of whatever he’s claiming, he always says “well there are many examples and frankly many people are talking about them and there are many others too, so there are many”. In a better world, that kind of answer would make moderators just pose the same question again, after pointing out that he didn’t provide an answer, and repeat until he has to admit he was making shit up.
Trump is really hammering the “talking our job” point, isn’t he?
Annnnd now he’s attacking Clinton’s character. Niiiice.
Holt: Be specific on how you will bring companies back to the US.
Trump: We’ll stop them from leaving, special interests, taxes, I’LL JUST SOMEHOW MAKE IT WORK.
Trump is using his inside voice. Is he sleepwalking? He’s wearing his pouty face, as always.
Hillary is wearing false eyelashes (sorry — I had to say it or I would have burst), and her red pantsuit catches the eye.
Uh-oh, Trump is getting upset.
But look how chivalrous he was by asking whether it was okay to call her “Secretary.”
Uh-oh, he started to interrupt her.
What’s next????????????????????????????????????????????????
Yay green industry too alongside helping the middle class
Specific things to say instead of vague.
“That’s called business, by the way.”
Oh my goooood.
Clinton brings up Trump rooting for the housing crisis.
Trump interrupts to shout “that’s just business!”

Clinton: …what goddess us in trouble in the first place.
Oops — I guess I misheard.
