I watched Jon Stewart's debate recap, and that's all I needed to see. The look on Harris’s face when Trump was talking about immigrants eating cats was the exact same look I have when my dad starts talking about the hallucination people in his apartment.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh! I haven't watched that yet.
I got the impression that Harris whacked Trump all over the debate stage like Serena Williams smashing a tennis ball at Wimbledon
It was some good shit. She mocked the size of his rallies and said people left early because they were bored! She called him weak! She said he was fired by 81 million people!
No matter what vile shit Trump says, his base thinks he's the messiah.
Ugh, too true and too upsetting. The unhinged overconfidence is a PLUS for his followers, no matter what actual words come out of it.
I think Kamala finished stronger than she started, and by the end he was an incoherent rambling mess while she was looking cool and confident. Turnout is going to be the key to a win, as always. That there are more left-leaning adults of voting age in almost all states isn't in question, it's how many of them will show up.
My heart goes out to the moderators, who valiantly did their best. "Would you like to respond to...the rest of that?"
I'm hoping that the newly registered voters (most are young) and the endorsement of Taylor Swift (and her cat) will increase turnoug.
Also, I came across this comment: one cannot think the name “JD Vance” without picturing a shuddering and exhausted davenport .... which was followed by someone commenting he treats women like furniture.
I've read some articles about the debate. I didn't watch it.
Fox News had an opinion piece tried to spin it as the moderators were totally unfair to Trump. It has this paragraph "Rather than patiently and systematically challenging Harris with evidence that his administration had helped the middle class more than hers, Trump reverted to form, claiming once again that he actually won the 2020 election. "
When has Trump ever patiently or systematically challenged anyone with evidence?
Taylor Swift has officially endorsed Harris. And Trump seems to think that will hurt her in the marketplace.
M's mom said she thought that Harris and Trump did the same in the debate. But she didn't watch all of it. I brought the outrageous lies and she couldn't believe he said that...or well she could but was like "he said that?" It was pointed out to me that a lot of people around here will vote for Trump and I said I knew SC would go from Trump ..
Interestingly in Brevard I didn't see as many political yard signs as I've seen in the past. I only saw a handful of Presidential ones and only one of those was Trump.
I think the last thing I saw from Nate Silver was Trump winning the Electoral College by a landside and Harris winning the popular vote by a small amount. That worries me.
My crush on Jon Stewart's back on. Also, loved Desi Lydic's bit the other day that was like "What if one crazy lady wrote all the frantic campaign e-mails?"
The new chair has been delivered to the math department, and should be in my classroom by tomorrow.
Yay chair.
And Trump seems to think that will hurt her in the marketplace.I'm sure she's very worried about her financial future.

Well thank goodness!! I've been passionately frustrated on your behalf regarding this stupid chair! Yay, chair!
