Correcting "everything"? I don't think so you fat liar.

If you didn't lie, they would not need to do it. Plain and simple.

They are not executing born babies.

They are not eating pets in Springfield.

The only one that got cut off and stopped mid-sentence was Kamala by the woman reporter.

He's a crybaby, and has always been a crybaby.

Kamala executed a 78 year whiny baby on national TV.

Fake Doctor on Twitter claiming eating Rat Poison prevents Covid.

Jeff: "You can't censor them!" froths at the mouth

Donald Trump saying he would shut down ABC News because they Fact Checked them.

Jeff: "I agree completely!"

... The former president called into Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning to complain that he'd faced a "rigged deal" with the debate, with moderators "correcting everything" he said while "not correcting with her." Asked why he felt moderators hadn't corrected Harris in the same way, Trump answered: "Because they're dishonest." ...

Fmr Pres Trump is criticizing the symptom, the fact-checking (however sparse) by the moderators, and not the root cause, the stream of lies that emanate from fmr Pres Trump when he speaks.

Obviously can't be shut down. 1A prevents that. Possibly the FEC should look into whether or not the moderators were guilty of an in-kind campaign contribution.

Aw... c'mon Heffy!

Trump is trying to shut down the Gov before the Election, he shut down the Capitol and the peaceful transfer of power in this country...

... surely he can shut down a Failing News Network!

Headline should read, "Orange loser cries about flopping at debate."

Don't worry Donnie Diapers, your MAGA cultists will always have your back.

BullBringer is already doing his best shuck and jive.

Donnie Dementia, "Abdul, the head of the Taliban, told me about Haitians eating dogs and cats, she's gonna take yer guns!"

BullBringer, "That's my president!"

LAWFARE

I HEAR LAWFARE

Seriously though, you only call for this when you whine about Trump being treated "unfairly".

Never when an ACTUAL illegal in kind contribution is made to Trump.

By the way, did you hear?

The FBI "left out the worst cities" when they conducted their crime analysis.

Donnie Fatso said so.

No wonder BullBringer doesn't trust the FBI

Just fyi: when there is asymmetrical lying, there will be asymmetrical fact checking.

According to CNN fact checker, Daniel Dale, Trump told at least 33 distinct lies during the debate last night. He was fact checked by the moderators on 3 lies. 91% of his lies went unchecked, but to his enablers that amounted to biased, unfair moderation.

Here are the fact-checks that Trumpers are mad about today:

" Moms are not murdering their babies
" Migrants aren't eating your pets
" Biden won the 2020 election

Trump likes to brag that everything he does is the biggest the world has ever seen.

Now he can add losing that debate to his list.

Awww poor fat orange grifting traitor rapist got shot down by facts. The truth shall set you free -------!

Post debate Trump has been losing his mind; he should be on suicide watch.
We will all live in regret if we don't get him the psychological he;p he obviously needs.

#18 | Posted by danni at 2024-09-12 02:36 AM

Hannity, Carlson, and Ingram all appeared on stage at Trump events while they all worked for FOX supporting the him.

Meanwhile, moderators who help out a debate against an abnormally rare candidate should be commended.

He looks/sounds foolish and embarrassing, so some clarity is needed and welcomed.

"Trump Demands ABC News Be Shut Down"ore he issues an edicto

I've said this before, Trump's trip to England with his spoiled children in tow experienced a little of the deference afforded to the Queen and the Royal Family and decided he deserves to be America's Royalty and his kids considered Royalty too! Now he feels
'how dare David Muir fact check his most ridiculous lies during the debate so ABC News should be shut down! I think he imagines he is already Royalty even before he issues a Royal Edict declaring Project 2025 the law of the Kingdom of Trumplandia! Trump is accused of wanting to be a dictator and it isn't true.....he wants to be our King. And his spoiled brats Princes and Princesses who will inherit his throne when he moves on to Hell!

Notice that Jeffy posts huge rants about Dems allegedly supporting censorship.

But when Trump goes way overboard on censorship, it's just "It can't be done."

No condemnation. No criticism. Nothing.

Jeff is in the bag for the raping orange Epstein.

Maybe they are using the wrong cleaner. Those brown stains aren't grease.

Well to be honest, they, like the rest of the legacy media do not do actual journalism anymore.

Yes, they are such pikers when compared to REAL media like Trump Media!

#25 | Posted by Corky at 2024-09-12 12:28 PM

To be honest, I don't think you know what "journalism" even means.

Trump's lies that were fact checked could have resulted in dangerous actions by his supporters against immigrants and others.

If he could tell the truth there'd be no need to fact check him, would there?

You mean like the 3/4 of a BILLION --- had to pay for lying for Sh*tler?

If letting Trump rant on for more than the allotted 2 minutes they were supposed to speak for was biased, then the moderators were on Trump's side.

If letting Trump get to rebut what Harris said in her 2 minutes before responding to the next question asked was biased, then the moderators were very lenient to Trump way too often.

If having Trump's mic on before Harris finished speaking but having Harris's mic off when Trump was ranting was unfair, was that unfair to Trump? It seemed that Trump was the beneficiary of being allowed to interrupt Harris as she was wrapping up her response at least half a dozen times.

Trump got more than twice the time to speak at this non-debate event than Harris. If he used this advantage to spew lies and rants and nonsense rather than directly and calmly and factually responding to the questions he was asked, that was Trump's choice. If nothing else, when weird Uncle Donnie continued ranting to the TV cameras long beyond the allotted time to answer questions, the moderators attempted to rein Trump in rather than let his rants go off the rails.

The moderators were generally solicitous to Trump and allowed him to digress endlessly with criticisms of America's conditions, of fictional pet eating immigrants wga, of Democrats, Harris, Biden, China, the military and his administration's national security staffers who resigned or were fired, then what Trump did and how he behaved during those rants was all Trump being Trump.

Bingo!

Trump benefited from the moderator's allowing him to speak longer than his allotted time and respond when he shouldn't have had time

#30 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY at 2024-09-12 08:02 PM

MAGATS are deluded fools.

#31 | Posted by LegallyYourDead at 2024-09-12 10:41 PM

It just seems nonsensical for us to be discussing the outcome of the debate when Trump is probably already planning eiyh various violent, well armed miliyias and other groups for their disruption of polling places and vote coubtubg facilities, It is sort of ridiculous to even be holding debates with the leader of the insurrection after he lost the last election. Donald Trump's name should not even be printes on a single ballot, he should be barred from running for any federal office for the rest of his life. So now he's going to run and lose again and we really don't know how violent they will get this time. This should not be allowes to happen; it's like a skow motion train wreck happening right in front pf us.
If we get through this election safely we need to immediately investigate oue Federal Courts amd Judges who have slow walked everything about the Jan. 6 insurrection which id now allowing the leader of that insurrection do worse this time. Those Judges should be removed and charged with participating in a plot to delay justice to enable thr perpetrators of the Jan. 6 insurrection to plan a much insurrection this time.

I would watch that. I bet he would get bigger ratings than Bud Dyer.

See EFFETE, this is the difference between america and russia.

America has a WANNABE dictator who WANTS TO shut down the media.

Russia has an ACTUAL dictator who ACTUALLY shut down the media.
