America, this president has shown his ass tonight. He does not deserve to sit in that chair behind the Resolute Desk; nor does he deserve the respect afforded his predecessors--he has not earned it. His performance tonight disgraced the American people. #Debates2020

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Wow

[LovingA2andMI]

2. All of THIS...

PERIOD!

[Poiuyt]

3. Kick this

[crickets]

4. I agree - what a great way of putting it.

trump has disgraced the office and our country. He has got to GO.

[grobertj]

5. YES!!!!!

[renate]

6. I used to loathe Michael Steele

Now I really like him and his humor.

Did I change, or did he? (I think it was him.)

[Chicago1980]

15. He was always saucy with the language.

[renate]

17. Then I guess it was me!

Good for me!

[Tommymac]

7. Kick & Rec n/t

8. I love Michael Steele, even years ago when he still supported republican candidates. But at least...

....he has principles and morals.

Bravo Lt. Governor!

[BlueMTexpat]

25. Sorry, George, but

I have to ask: when did Steele become a Governor?

He's a decent Republican from Maryland who was formerly a Lieutenant Governor. He later ran for the Senate against Ben Cardin, who won.

But I share your sentiments even if I don't give him the "Governor" credit.

[George II]

30. Oh yeah, I thought he was Governor of Maryland, just Lt. Governor. Fixed it.

[BlueMTexpat]

37. Thanks!

40. Steele is best remembered as the RNC chair

Basically the republican party treated him like dirt. It really looked like he was chosen because of his race, not his abilities, though he was a very competent chair. I think he was always too principled and decent for the republican party. Of course, I like him much better as an ex-republican.

[George II]

41. I agree with you. When he was chairman I thought to myself, "what's he doing in that job?"

[PatSeg]

43. You too?

It was hard enough seeing him as a republican, but RNC chair was a bridge too far. He just didn't fit the mold of RNC chair.

[dalton99a]

9. Donald Trump is the enemy of the United States and should be treated as such.

[MustLoveBeagles]

20. This

[oasis]

10. Says the former RNC chair.

Trump has dragged the GOP down to the depths of whale shit.

[llmart]

28. "Trump has dragged the GOP down to the depths of whale shit."

He didn't do it single handedly. He had plenty of help from most of the GOP in Congress.

[consider_this]

11. Well stated!

[mtnsnake]

12. Thank you, Michael!

[diva77]

13. Clear demonstration of how Dump has NO impulse control -- a dangerous personality trait for a

commander-in-chief

[DallasNE]

14. I'm Sure Trump Thinks He Kicked Biden All Over The Place

He was quite masterful in the role of bully. Chris Wallace was in over his head and lost control early.

But the American people I know would be disgusted by Trump's shenanigans and obnoxiousness. It was pitiful in the extreme.

Below is what the NBC fact checkers said. Biden got one half true and Trump didn't get as much as a half true.

16. Let's be honest...

Trump has shown his ass all his life.

It's why his parents got rid of him and sent him to play military school for uppity rich brats.

Trump has always been a Son of A Bitch...

[speaknow]

18. Really, was

anybody surprised? The man in the dark shoulder
padded jacket looked and sounded like an AO!
This is our leader? a fucking joke.

[lunatica]

19. I've grown to like Michael Steele

I hope he just continues as a pundit on MSNBC and stays relatively neutral. He’s good in that role.

[MustLoveBeagles]

21. I couldn't have said it better myself

He's one of the few Republicans I still respect.

[AdamGG]

22. And Trump probably PREPARED to act just like this

The attack lines were probably all prepared by Trump and some sick fvcks like Stephen Miller. I guess they wanted to bait and shake Joe as much as possible, but they apparently have little sense of the downside of how it plays to non Magat people.

[DeminPennswoods]

26. Nicolle Wallace confirmed last night post-debate

that the way Trump acted was how he prepared. FTR, Chris Christie was his debate practice partner.

[czarjak]

23. Former Chairman of The Rich White Guy Party says huh?

39. To hillary, Chasten AND Pete

After November, 3rd, then January 21st, with all the right people working together, can you imagine how FUCKING FABULOUS this country is going to be?

We can all have a toast of champagne, and get down to seriously DOING what this country is MEANT to do. The turd (and spawn), the Proud Boys, the Qnazis, the entire republican party (and the fundigelicals they rode in on) can be thrown into either cells (one with a metallic gold spray painted toilet), OR the dust bin of historical failures.



Now we just have to make sure the ballots are all counted, and counted accurately.

After last night's debate debacle, for the first time I am actually feeling hopeful. There is nothing like a bona fide SHIT SHOW to focus one's perspective. Let's hope AMERICA saw the same SHIT SHOW that we did.

29. Another post had asked where are the Republicans.

Well, here is at least one speaking out.

[rainin]

31. I still loathe Michael Steele. I simply can't forget how he fawned over trump in the

early days of the election. Anyone could see, if they bothered to look, that trump was never going to step up and lead for the good of the country. We're here because people like Michael Steele put politics above the country and fought like hell for their team, no matter what the consequences. Well, here we are. Let him fight for the country now, but don't forget what he did.

[Lars39]

32. "met with them in my office" got me

The oval office is not his office, it belongs to the people of this nation.

[marble falls]

33. That struck me, too. I don't believe any President has ever referred to it as "my office" before.

[Lars39]

35. I know there's another office for the presidents,

but it's a working office. trump probably hasn't set foot in it.

[marble falls]

36. Well it is for "work" so of course he's never stepped in it.

[dalton99a]

34. Get rid of the trash. GOTV

[live love laugh]

38. Yeah but fuck Steele and all of Trump's "apprentices". nt

[calimary]

42. Well, yeah, but, YOU helped build this, Michael Steele.

ALL OF YOU GOPers did. Old and young, high and low, rich and not, famous and not, white and - uh - well, never mind.

[Blue Owl]

44. K&R

[thucythucy]

45. Not only did he show us his ass,

he still expects all of us to kiss it.

I'm beginning to think Trump might not make it to January 20th. He might not even make it to November. If the reality of what he's in for ever truly sinks in, I think he might have a full bore psychotic break. His whole personality is stitched together with bailing wire and Adderall. He may even attempt to cancel the election entirely.

The 25th amendment is still out there waiting. Should have been done long ago.
