The head of the FCC, who controls things like broadcast licenses, did the equivalent of laughing in the Trumpies’ faces and saying, ‘Oh, hell no!’ to their request to yank ABC’s license and investigate whoever for whatever.

And, anyway, ABC the network, does not have a broadcast license. The broadcast licenses reside with the individual stations that make up the ABC network. Now, some of those are owned by ABC, but most of them are owned by various broadcast groups. ABC (like CBS and NBC) has something around 215 affiliates. Good luck going after each one of those individually, especially after the head of the FCC said being extremely butt hurt because you pouted and sulked and got your ass handed to you by a Black woman does not justify any action on their part to censure ABC.

I still can't fathom why this is a close race. Effing people. Are the rural folks drinking irrigation water? Not sure.

What if ABC News has a gun to exercise their Second Amendment rights against a tyrannical government trying to curtail their First Amendment rights? Do they have to go to jail then?

92% of strongmen dictators who WILL EAT HIM FOR LUNCH said he won.

They couldn’t get Putin to quit laughing at him long enough to agree probably.

No, sorry, I’m being informed it’s 92% of people who consider Catturd to be a prophet who agree he won.

No, sorry, it’s 92% of Trump offspring, minus the ones that were aborted after birth which is what I assume happened to Deej.

I'm not sure that even qualified as a debate. Harris was debating, but trump was just whining and scowling and complaining and accusing and refusing to answer questions.

Trump’s new demand for a second debate is that it must be held on Xitter and the moderators have to be Elon Musk and Laura Loomer.

The Chair of the FCC released a statement today that basically says, yeah, in America, we don't do that.

The fact that she even has to say that indicates a failure in our educational system.

No, a failure on the R party and Trump. Don't blame teachers for their crazy.

'Yes, the moderators were very hurtful and mean to him. They did “three-on-one.”'

Sounds kinky!

What was hurtful and mean to him was moderators doing their job.

How many times was he fact-checked? Three? Four?

He was live-checked on three points (infanticide, pet-eating migrants, and 2020 election). He argued the pet-eating one and it was reiterated.

That's out of 33 subjects that he actually lied about in the course of the debate.

Thank you - that's what I thought I remembered. He only got called out when making ridiculous claims.

don’t do a 2nd debate, although she’s a winner why offer him another bite of the 70M+ eyeball apple … he’d have to have many of his ‘yuge’ rallies to equal that level of exposure …

Trump is suffering from extreme paranoia obviously! Anyone with any sense who watch the debate knows he got his butt kicked!

Too bad there are so many people who have no sense. Or lie. Or both. Sadly, they often vote.

A morsel of poll porn: Morning Consult offers the first glimpse of the effect of the debate on national polling among 3300 likely voters. Compared to a similar sample concluding right before the debate (Harris +4), the latest shows a +1 bump for Harris now +5 over Trump. The latest Ipsos poll also has Harris +5 gaining 1.5 points from that poll's pre-debate numbers. Obviously, these are national - but it does indicate debate surge for Harris. Ipsos also noted that some 53% of respondents felt Harris had won the debate, compared to 24% for that "former president" (aka fucking idiot). Good news. Hope it can translate to battleground states.
