    I love the strategy of talking down to him like he is a child, knowing full well that he is going to respond like a child.

        And his facial expressions while he wasn’t speaking? I honestly had a hard time telling if he was trying to troll her like he did Hillary or if he was constipated.

        It’s like he doesn’t know what to do with his face if his mouth isn’t moving.

          Apparently, based on one newscast I’ve seen, he was told that instead of losing his temper out loud, he should make faces at her that show his anger.

          So he decided to lose his temper out loud and made stupid faces the rest of the time.

          It’s a “pretend to understand and be authoritative” face. Once I had a boss who was woefully underqualified and he made that face all the time.

    Kamala is highly meme-able; with her effort and a capable team, they’ll drown out those Trump cultists and get uninformed voters on her side. If only that old, weird narcissist would just become an irrelevant creature sooner.

    She had to get that “fired” line in. She knew that would get under his skin.

      Not only that, but it does meaningfully reframe losing an election into an easily digestible soundbyte for uninformed voters

    As per my previous email…

    She straight up called him an idiot to a national audience and if I die too young I hope it’s with that memory in my head.

      We’ve been doing it for decades. She did it in language he gets. It showed more than it ever has before.

    My favorite moment was her introducing herself so formally.

    It was also a slick way to correct him on how her name is said.

      I mean he doesn’t know how to pronounce her name. I think she figured this would be a good time to do it lol.

      I wanted her to bait him into a handshake then withdraw out of disrespect but alas we can’t have her pushing the bully back too hard while courting the low-info swing voter, I guess. So this was a pretty great alternative.

        Well a certain decorum is befitting to the position they’re in, so I’m glad to see one candidate that understands that.
