Final Debate! Open Thread!

Trump: Still behind
Trump: Still behind

I’m opening this thread a bit early today because holy crap is there a lot to talk about.

In the meantime, I’m going to prepare for the debate by taking a nap.

Me and the whole fam are probably gonna go vote today, depending on whether mom can get off work early enough. Maybe tomorrow, we’ll see. Anyway, plenty of time til the debate starts, so song drop:

I hope Trump has a complete meltdown. I won’t be happy unless he starts crying or drooling on himself.

I have been mainlining Samantha Bee the past few days in anticipation. Well, mostly for entertainment, but, still.

Over/under on Trump having the sniffles?

There’s always the day after the election…. 😉

Trumpf has (seems to me) become increasingly angry and agitated over the last few weeks, let’s hope that usual careful, conscientious preparation is inadequate to overcome this and he dissolves into a screaming, blubbering idiot… oh, wait, he’s that way going IN to the debate….

I think Trump possesses just enough self control to not have a screaming meltdown on stage. But given that he sniffled through debate one and creepily lurked through debate two, he’ll do something strange everyone can make fun of.

As they did last time, I expect the media to hold Clinton to much higher standards than Trump and Trump will get lots of credit for not flinging feces around the stage.

Yes. This is the occasion I’m choosing to jump on the pony gif bandwagon. I’m home sick fighting off this cold that’s trying to get me so I watched a few episodes today.

I’ve somewhat given up hope that this last debate will be entertaining. I thought the last one would be a complete trainwreck, but Trump was just boring as hell. The whole thing was forgettable. This one will probably be boring too. The campaign has fizzled out. He’ll just bring it back to “THE EMAILS” or “BENGHAZI” with every question. Yawn.

Chris Wallace is moderating, so I expect to shout obscenities at the TV at least every 14 minutes, on average.

I’m a (Canadian) lover of U.S. politics, and I follow presidential elections like some sports fans follow the season of their favorite team. To me, politics is as much entertainment as it is news, and this holds especially true this year, with one of the most interesting election cycles in recent memory. Long after some of us proclaimed to be sick and tired, I was just starting to have fun.

But everyone has their limits, myself included. At this point, I’m exhausted. November 8 cannot come soon enough.

Please make the orange man go awaaaaaaay

I’ve generally avoided the debates as I figure I could get far more enjoyment out of seeing how far under my toenail I could shove a toothpick.

Might come back to look at people’s high/lowlights, though.

I can’t deal with presidential debates.

Going to watch the LoadingReadyRun Autumnal Rumble instead. They create a bunch of their sketch comedy characters as wrestlers in WWE 2k17 and do commentary as the computer auto-runs a Royal Rumble for Ultimate Facepunch Wrestling.

I’m in the UK, but am going to go to bed early and set an alarm to get up to watch it.

I’m not hoping for much, but there will never be another pres. debate like this one in my lifetime, if it kicks off and I’m not watching, I’ll kick myself.

Brace yourselves, everyone.

Poll! Should I make udon or gnocchi for dinner, to accompany…this?

Udon.

If it means anything, the udon is instant, sealed in a wet-pack. The udon would be served with the additional flavoring pack (chicken) and some actual chicken; the gnocchi would be served with butter, garlic, actual Parmesan, and also actual chicken.

I think I’ll skip this one. Today is my birthday. It’s not a day I like. I don’t like the forced focus on me, the presents, the cake. “Are you happy? I just want you to be happy.” Not one bit of it. I told my mom not to get me anything, but she’s upstairs wrapping my presents right now.

Plus my body decided to give me its very own present in the early am, even though we already just did this same thing 3 weeks ago. 🙁

Garlic wins… I mean, gnocchi wins 🙂

Next time he gets behind you like that, put one hand between your legs and mock-whisper to the crowd, “he’s trying for a reach-around, isn’t he?”

Tie vote, as of now.
I have access to both garlic powder and minced garlic.

I’ll get all the debate coverage I can stand in the MSNBC post-mortems tomorrow. I’ll probably even have to mute some of it.

I have a 1920 Japanese silent horror movie on my DVR I’ll watch instead.

I have the perfect excuse for not watching the debate: my Damned Fatigue, as I call it. (Really ready to be on the other side of having had a brain bleed.)
