Joe says "525 kids don't know where the hell their parents are" (or words to that effect)
and Spanky says "Good."
There's the next Lincoln Project ad.

(4,131 posts)538 says Trump was saying good to moving on to the next topic. Even if thats the case it sure didnt come across that wait.
That and the IQ comment is going to bite him.

(2,643 posts)I listened to it twice to make sure after my partner thought she heard good.
But you know, one is factual, the other has its own truth. Whatever, "It's all good."

(2,643 posts)I think that "Good" has a more pointed picture of Trump's attitude than "Go'head" anyway. Minor details, really, but if a lot of people heard the former, that speaks a lot to his perceived character. And that bodes well for us, I think.
Joe was brilliant when he basically said, "Here is my character against his. You (the public) know us both. Who is more trustworthy?"
That, with the repeated, "I will be president for red or blue states, ALL of us. UNITED." were some of the most impressive moments Joe captured.
I'm feeling pretty good about tonight, overall. As long as folks fact-check, we did well tonight.

(11,730 posts)I mean Trump is a monster and is fully capable of saying something so disgusting, but I didn't think he would say it out loud at a national debate.
He is vile.

(9,067 posts)On the broadcast it sounded like "good", I screamed at the TV..... but if you listen closely to the video clip it does sound like a mumbled "go ahead". I had to listen several times. There is a very slight break with a soft 'h' sound.

(3,471 posts)...it sounds to me like his pea brain kicked in with "DANGER WILL ROBINSON" alarms as he started saying "Good" and he managed to mush-mouth it into "Goahd".

(32,682 posts)Out of all the disgusting things that tRump has done, the way tRump has handled the Central American refugee crisis upsets me more than anything else.
The caged babies and kids, permanently separated families, and forced hysterectomies have occurred in OUR names, with OUR tax dollars. I really believe crimes against humanity have occurred on our border. They all need to go to prison for this.

(21,431 posts)I listened instead of watching. Maybe that's why.
I disliked Trump from the start, even before the 2016 campaign. During the campaign, I knew, as a majority of Americans did, that Trump was not up to the job, was without moral character, was a misogynist, etc.
But my real, deep-seated, unshakeable loathing for him developed and grew with the separation of children and parents, and the placement of children in cages. There are no words to describe the depths of my loathing for this reincarnation of Adolf whose evil pollutes life just by his existence.

(4,980 posts)Described the facilities as clean/nice blah, blah, blah bs as though they were staying in a resort - he said that about those facilities which have be documented to be dehumanizing, deprivating, chilling, dangerous, and hostile were somehow an answer to his administrations vile kidnapping of those kids.
His policies are a crime against those families and children. He lost their parents and he should not be forgiven for such depravity.

(1,722 posts)Trump said that persons who show up for immigration hearings after 2 or 3 years are not the smartest ones, or something to that effect.
