izmeinaProud Boys, if you're listening
Last week I rearranged my work schedule for the afternoon so that I could watch the first Presidential Debate live. I screwed up a bit in that I had the starting time as 9pm Eastern Time (USA) and this bit of Oz is 13 hours ahead or is it behind?
But then I heard talk of an 8pm start and then it was 9pm. I wish those buggers would make up their minds
I should have been my usual cautious self and turned on the show at 8.30 local time. Just in case
Instead I went for 9.30 and turns out I had missed the beginning. Not that it mattered in the grand scheme of things because I can watch endless reruns online
Still, it was a different kettle of fish from 2016 when I had not yet discovered C Span or The Washington Post and was listening on the ABC News radio channel
Radio is so very different. While it makes it much easier to concentrate on the content, it meant missing out on all that creepy chair humping and Hillary stalking
I could not get over trump's endless interruptions, that pouting angry WRONG WRONG WRONG face, the rant about Biden's disgraceful handling of the Swine Flu. Oh my God. That guttersnipe has some gall.
I did pick up on the despicable attacks on Biden's sons including endless interruptions to do so and yet another version of the Greatest Hits - like back in 2016, trump will only accept the result of the election if he WINS but fluffed up with dams, swamps, rivers and bin loads of dumped ballots
So when that was soon followed by the request to call out the white supremacists, I was half expecting him to talk about the very fine people on both sides. But he went one better, acting totally dumb as if he has NO idea who these people may be, he then asks them to stand back and stand by
Whatever he and his trumPETS may claim he meant, the Hufflepuff Hitlers certainly took it as not a dog whistle but a bull horn
Within 20 minutes they already had new insignia plastered all over the web
Next time, if there is a next time, they need the likes of Jonathan Swann in the hot seat equipped with a mute button or maybe a taser for repeat offenders
I have the sneaking suspicion that there might not be many more of those shit shows. All heat and no light. If trump refuses to play by such basic rules of giving each speaker 2 minutes uninterrupted, then it is a waste of time to have him on the show unless they pit him against Kamala Harris. Now that would be a show worth watching
Next week I will make sure I have the starting time sorted out to see Queen Kamala eating Mr Stepford Pence. I just hope that she doesn't get food poisoning
