This was the strongest debate performance in the modern political era by Kamala Harris. Trump gave the lousiest performance by an officially nominated candidate for president in American history.

Well, maybe. I agree he was on the ropes for the beginning and the middle of the debate. But he was saving his best stuff for the closing statement, where instead of telling voters how he will make their lives better, he attacked Joe Biden and addressed the issue on every undecided voter’s mind - “Does he have an opinion on German energy policy?” Answer? You better believe it! But no follow-up questions please.

My favorite line was:

"Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people."

I had high expectations. And she exceeded them wildly. Amazing.

Trump was brutally emasculated. Someone should immediately check to see if he lost his penis.

Rumor has it Donald has retreated to Mar-a-Lago to mope and fume, rage-post on Truth Social, and to play with his tiny white balls.

Your malamute could eat trump for lunch, but I am sure s/he has better taste.

He's been known to impulsively eat things that aren't exactly edible. They usually wind up on the rug a few hours later.

trump had only smirks, scowls, anger and lies. I wouldn't have been surprised if he had yelled, "Get off my lawn!"

Remember, though, that millions of Americans like those smirks, scowls, anger, and lies. That's why they voted for him and will do it again.
