Clinton-Trump Debate Open Thread

The Donald, no doubt saying something truly awful
The Donald, no doubt saying something truly awful

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:

Sleepy Capybara says: Donate!

Clinton is taking the WHTM stance and just laughing at him.

Half of my Twitter feed is asking (independently of each other) if The Donald is high on cocaine and sniffling because of it.

I love how he talks about his temperament *while he’s throwing a tantrum*

“They were taunting us!” Yeah, good way to show us how you’d react to the very first bruise to your ego as Preznit: start a war.

Yes blowing up another nations ships over taunts would start a war you dumbass. That’s how war works.

Jesus, we defend Japan because we forced a Constitution on Japan that forbids them from having an army that they could use to start invading other countries again like they were doing in the early 20th century. We’re not doing it for fun, we’re doing it to fucking control them. Goddamn.

Sean Hannity, Sean Hannity, Sean Hannity. Geesh.

Oh my god everyone laughed when he said he had a better temperament.

Is Trump suggesting we turn our military into a for-profit PMC?

Clinton takes a reality-check moment and publicly reassures our allies that we will keep defending them. Good job being the adult, Clinton.

She’s so much better at this than he is. My goodness, like night and day.

(This is part of my worry. The political atmosphere in the States these days seems to be much more about hating politicians and politics than it does about getting someone who’s smart and good at the job)

My Mother Just Now: Oh, you gonna vote for Clinton just because she’s a woman? We got a black president and then a woman president and then we can get serious again.

Quit making out with Russia, holy shit

Netanyahu isn’t a happy camper. Does Bibi’s face even have happy. I’m sure it does. Can’t remember ever seeing it

Great power, great responsibility

Holt needs to get control of Trump and he isn’t even trying anymore. I expected better from you, Holt!

eta: And they need to shut the audience up. Christ almighty, start ejecting the people who keep applauding and cheering.

POM: Nobody can control Trumpster. That’s most of the reason he’d make a bad President, but it’s also Hillary’s biggest advantage.

Softball final question. Let’s see if Trump fucks this up.

eta: kind of, kind of not. I expected more of a meltdown from him, but he melted pretty far a couple of times.

He wants a cookie for not saying something horribly inappropriate?

Isn’t Trump going to court for rape charges next month?

How long do those things usually take? You know, for backup?

@Handsome Jack

That’s almost exactly what Wayne LaPierre said. His argument against Hillary was that “8 years of a demographically symbolic President is enough”. In other words, “we tried a non-white guy, now let’s get back to only white guys again”.
