… a deep cut of bigotry from long ago

In 1982, scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) incorrectly inferred that Haitians were at increased risk for acquiring HIV, a generalization that resulted in unprecedented national stigmatization. The association was later dropped, but Haiti’s economy never recovered.

Samesies. I think she rattled his cage the moment she headed over to shake his hand and it was downhill from there for old orange fingers. What i got from her was grace, good humour and optimism for the future while he was just a weird, bitter, ranting, old orange man. The angrier he got and the more he tried to throw at her the calmer she seemed to become - reminded me of the scene in Boom Town where the Doctor effortlessly deals with the Slitheen’s attacks. :grin:

I really hated the times when trump seemed to take great pride in being allied to obstructionist bastards.

I was a just kid when the AIDS epidemic first became national news. It wasn’t until much later in life when I learned what the “4 H’s” that talking heads were going on about meant, and how one of them was “Hatians”.

She fearlessly walked right up to him, extended her hand, and said, “Kamala Harris. Nice to meet you.” For her, it was a moment of civility and grace (and a bit of a burn to remind him of how her name is pronounced). For him it was an awkward moment of confusion as he tried to parse what exactly was happening.

There is a thread about that now here on the BBS, and I don’t think he meant “to have sex” but to “put out” as to inform people of something…

Agreed. I’ve watched this clip dozens of times and I interpreted this the exact same way. I don’t think the pause as his brain buffer filled before his next words helped matters any, but in this specific case I honestly don’t think there was any innuendo intended here.

Besides, Trump would never be that subtle. He’d just come out and say it and then double and triple down on it.

So no more debates for him.

In the World of Boxing or UFC, when a Fighter gets beaten or knocked out, they get up and scream, “I DEMAND A REMATCH, I DEMAND A REMATCH!” Well, it’s no different with a Debate. She was beaten badly last night. Every Poll has us WINNING, in one case, 92-8, so why would I do a Rematch?

And she can say he’s scared at which point he’ll reverse himself and claim he was always planning to have another debate.

We all knew Trump was going to claim victory no matter what. But the 50% of America will say he won that I heard commentators predict didn’t happen – even Fox News apparently admitted the real truth, though they tried their best to downplay it.

(Well, not quite no matter what. I was really hoping for that @ but no such luck.)

And @anon61221983 i dunno. He said “she put out” paused and said “I’ll say that” in the exact same way a racist will look for approval when they say something disgusting. Whether he had originally meant to say something different or not, it’s what he said and he ran with it.

Because he’s is shit.

I’ll say that.

Good thing those online polls from Twitter and Newsmax said he totally won. (By yuge percentages!)

A friend of mine called me this morning and asked me what I thought of the debate, and my only response was, “I’ve never seen a murder on live tv before.”
