    1. I have so many gifs lined up. There are so many new ones out there. I really should find something more productive to do with my time.

  1. YES TRUMP WE GET IT BUT PORTMAN IS TELLING US THEY LEFT OHIO FOR MICHIGAN, NOT FOR OTHER COUNTRIES, WHICH ONE OF YOU IS A LIAR

  2. I love how he is OK with interrupting Hillary several times but when she interrupted him ONCE he got up her nose about it.

    Also, I love how when he got heated he started calling her Hillary.

  3. Trump's economic plan is 80's Supply-Side Reaganomics, that's been a proven failure for at least 25 years and, in it's purest form, has crashed Brownback's Kansas. It's a fantasy.

    1. I'm tellin' ya, it's all about Sox-Cubs this year. Whoot!

      (back to your regularly scheduled program, which I'm catching in reruns)

  4. He's bitching about the poor condition of our infrastructure that his tax dodges haven't contributed to, and his hero reagan's deferred maintenance ruined to begin with.

  5. I love how his response to Hillary pointing out that he stiffs his contractors is his same old line about how their work wasn't good enough. You would think his debate team would have trained him on a better line.

  6. Twitter: Elon White: Hillz HAS to smile otherwise she's cold. Douchebag von Douchtasm is literally yelling and cutting her off.

  7. When some white people hear the words "criminal justice reform" they think "they're gonna let all the blacks and browns out of prison!"

  8. George Takei on Twitter: "Can he mention anything without making it about himself? You have "investments" in Charlotte? So. Damn. What."

  9. Hmm, NPR's transcript is, um…

    LESTER HOLT
    All Right, to minute on the same question to defend tax increases on the wealthiest Americans, J Clinton.

    HILLARY CLINTON
    I have a feeling I'm a feeling about an abyss in, a revenue ever happen.

    DONALD TRUMP
    White?

    (LAUGHTER)

    DONALD TRUMP
    HILLARY CLINTON
    Why not, Why not? You have, joined a bit by saying crazy things.

  10. Hey, anyone, when did Kali leave Wonkette? I have her in my Twitter feed but I just realized she's not on Wonkette anymore. (Sorry that I didn't notice earlier!)

    1. I think she left months ago, before Robyn started. She's here in SF, I've met her several times at drinky things. Dunno where she headed to…

  11. Sara B on Twitter: "Hillary looks delighted. Repeatedly. And I understand why. I suspect that she is having a great deal of fun up there."

    1. (I laughed way too hard at that.)

      You don't know that. It could've been anyone! Mongolians! Saskatchewanians! Winnipeggers!

  12. Did he just say he was endorsed by ICE? wtf? A government agency does not endorse political candidates. And he said that in a presidential debate. This is fun.

  13. Twitter: "trump's team is deleting his tweets in real time, his website is down, & he's dodging tax return questions. not a 💯 look, bud."

    1. Not for long:
      Twitter:
      Cthulhu for America ‏@cthulhu4america 5m5 minutes ago
      Hillary: "Expert" on cybersecurity
      Trump: Knows all about the Twitters
      Cthulhu: What a cute primitive trinket you have

  14. "The Middle East is a mess. Under your leadership, by the way." (something like that.)

    What, was she the Queen of Sheba?

  15. Clare Malone 10:30 PM

    Trump’s awkward syntax on this nuclear weapons answer reminds me of Sarah’s Palin’s verbal acrobatics. People called Palin stupid; no one’s really saying that about Trump. Hmmm. Could that be a double standard???

    1. stamina stamina stamina stamina…uh, stamina…she doesn't have the stamina to say stamina fifty times like I just did right now!

  16. The Twitters:

    Seth MacFarlane
    I've never in my lifetime seen babbling incoherence on a Presidential debate stage like Trump is displaying tonight. I'm in a nightmare.

    Neil Gaiman
    Did anyone tell him that the camera is still on him when he isn't speaking? He keeps making strange little mouth-things. It's embarrassing.

    Patton Oswalt:
    "I HAVE A MUCH BETTER TEMPERAMENT THAT SHE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!" he bellowed, spraying spittle.

    And my fav:
    Roxanne Gay:
    Donald, you lost the audience. Stop talking.

  17. Hillary talks about how Trumps denigrates women and gives specific examples and Trump responds by saying that Hillary's commercials hurt his feelings and something about how Rosie O'Donnell deserves insults. #HUH?

  18. Well, he solidified his support with people who are sold on him already, but he mad absolutely no progress with broadening his appeal. Hillary was likable, smart, prepared and she landed quite a few serious strikes. None of Trump's hit hard, or were particularly new.

      1. "he wasn't as much of a train wreck as he could have been, so this debate really helped him"

        I swear, someone's going to say something like that…

  19. PBS: Hillary won
    CNN: Hillary won
    Fox News: seems to be losing their fucking minds over his performance, so they probably think Hillary won

    hahaha this is amazing

    1. I finally feel for the very first time that I truly am watching the woman who will be the next President of the United States. She's really going to win this.

  20. I love how for every response Trump finds a way to make it about himself, no matter how much of a stretch or how inappropriate. it's quite a gift.

  21. Anne Lamott says it well:

    "She nailed it; fabulous. But here's the crazy thing: his poll #'s may remain high. This will be entirely be about voter turnout.

  22. Initial reactions from the PBS analysts was basically, "He was bad, but she explained things too much." She's a wonk! Come on!

    1. NBC said that too. I forget which talking head, I think it was Chuckles, but the first thing out of his mouth was that Hillary "maybe over-prepared." WTF does that even mean? Who would even let that statement come out of their mouth? gag.

      1. Smokey and I were talking about this: If Hillz was trying to sell you a house, she would talk about the specs. She would try to sell you a solid house where the windows are triple-paned, and the appliances are energy efficient. The school district is pretty good and the price is reasonable. Dwumpf would try to sell you something that is overpriced but has sweeping views and would not mention the cracks in the floorboards, the formaldehyde in the Chinese-produced drywall, but just look at these views!

  23. There's this one woman lying on Trump's behalf to the point where the other Republicans on the CNN panel are glaring in disbelief.

  24. Trump's claiming online polls are showing him winning big, because his racist alt-right bigots storm those. They absolutely matter, of course, just ask president Ron Paul!

  25. @RobertMackey

    Brit Hume: "the TV audience saw the faces of the two candidates… and she looked composed, smug sometimes, not necessarily attractive"

  26. @darth 13 minutes ago

    i guess the one thing donald didnt lie about was when he said he wasnt going to prepare for the debate

      1. Yeah, that's the same instinct that made Romney say, "I paid everything I owed and not one penny more," and the audience applaud as though that were somehow virtuous. They really all have the Leona Helmsley attitude that taxes are for suckers and little people.

  27. From the Guardian debate liveblog:

    Trump says he will 'absolutely' accept outcome of election

    Trump walks through the spin room. He’s asked, “will you accept the outcome of this election?”

    “Oh yes, absolutely I will,” he says.

    From the horse’s mouth.

    1. I think by the time the election actually happens and Hillary cleans his clock, he's going to want to put this so far behind him.

  28. I don't know who Doug Henwood is, but he sounds like some righty, apparently who wrote a nasty book about Hillary. On Twitter:

    "I’m no Hillaryite, ha ha. But am I wrong in thinking she’s kicking his ass?"

  29. Haha, Kaili: "I don't think Donald Trump smiled even once during that whole debate. He'd be so much prettier if he'd just smile."

  30. from SoSH:"The turning point in this debate was when Trump could have gone off on emails for five minutes, but chose to quickly move past it because he had been baited into defending his taxes. Fox News has convinced me of this, and it is true."

  31. I feel better. Hillary was solid. Hopefully, enough of our fellow Americans will get out and vote. I know I really don't want to move to Quebec.

        1. Seriously, there's a town out thee that's offering a job in the little convenience store and two acres of land to anyone who agrees to move there. You can't get that kind of deal in L.A. !

          Of course, for 6 months of the year it's a wind scoured, frozen hellscape, but you can always burn wood and read books. Lots of books.

          1. It's hard to imagine a convenience store there. Do they sell slurpees and Slim Jims?

            In the winter, people would stumble in, with a thousand-yard stare, ask for a pack of smokes and then sit quietly for a while before they say, "Please don't make me go back out there."

          2. Cigs, kerosene, Motor oil, fishing tackle, Drakes Cakes and hand knit toques and woolen socks. Used crime novel paperbacks. Fritos and beer.

            "Snowin's oot there again, eh?"
            "Uh, huh. 'tis.
            "Snowin's again tamorrah, eh?"
            "Uh, huh."
            "Fer fuck's sake, eh?"
            "Eh!"

          3. "Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver" ("My country isn't a country, it's winter") Gilles Vigneault

    1. I have so much work to do tonight but I cannot stop watch all the reaction to this debate. It is like the whole country is finally exhaling.

      1. And of course the funny thing is that once she is president she will be incredibly gracious and invite him and Melania to state dinners and stuff because she's gracious and shrewd like that.

  32. From Teh Twitterez:

    david ehrlich ✔ @davidehrlich
    tonight, we are pretty much sending Hillary Clinton to drill into a giant asteroid & nuke it from the inside before it can destroy the earth
    10:12 AM – 26 Sep 2016

  33. Twitters: Clinton did something tonight that no journo has been able to do: surgically take him apart on his tax returns. She explained why it matters.

  34. Is this real?
    @MeetThePress
    .@chucktodd: #debatenight exposed Trump’s lack of preparation, but Clinton seemed over-prepared at times.

        1. Right. She said she was this close to saying something, if it went on much longer. Well, the only step past where it already was is if they actually won the election. How much longer was she going to watch?

      1. Couldn't hurt! Reminds me of a favorite restaurant. Yelp yahoos voted it best restaurant in USAmerica. Not hardly, but good BBQ. Regardless, folks flock to it from far and wide, nearly impossible to get in anymore…

  35. Trump better not win- a guy I know in Canada says "forget about coming up here- we're building a wall, and you're going to pay for it!"

  36. “Should Trump win – I'm looking forward to seeing how he manages to gold leaf all the bathrooms in the WH and turn a personal profit on the remodel. No doubt television rights will be involved.”
