A couple of things that struck me about the debate... [View all]

First, he was even more off his rocker than usual... Haitian immigrants eating pets? Um, I lived in Little Haiti in Miami for a year at the beginning of the 2000s, and Haitians do not eat dogs and cats. My favorite Haitian dish is called Griot, or Griyot avec Pikliz. Deep fried pork with a lightly pickled vegetable slaw that's usually served with Banan Peze, or fried green plantains. It's delicious, and very similar to Caribbean food anywhere else. Apologies for any misspellings, I don't speak Kreyol.

Second, what in the actual fuck was he talking about with IVF? I've watched that clip four times and still can't understand what the fuck he's trying to say.

Third, although they could have done more, at least the ABC moderators did call him on some of his bullshit. Including such greatest hits as "Yeah, they're killing newborn babies" and "They're eating the pets though! I saw it on TV!"

Finally, never before have I seen such an utterly unhinged, abjectly unqualified person get on a stage and humiliate himself for 90 minutes. It really was something to behold. As bad as Biden's debate was for him, for Donald Trump, this one was much, much worse.

Kamala Harris knocked it out of the park last night. We are going to win this thing, folks, but don't get complacent, canvas, phone bank, do whatever you can to get out the vote, because every vote matters!
