No. More like giving her a chance to state her case. It was perfectly fine.

Journalists have to ask questions like that. It's really their whole job. I see a zillion comments like this complaining about journos' questions and thought I'd reply with the obvious this time. They don't ask because they believe that. They ask so that the questionee can air their views.

Oh shoot--I thought Dems were supposed to be boycotting the whole affair. I guess only some of them did--? Anyway, I'm glad the ones there managed to annoy him. Not that his skin isn't thin as an onion's--it isn't hard.

No one on this site. Your point?

Wow, it turns out they insist they do live here. I call BS on that and on everything they say, as their kvetchy type is tiresome and rampant on this site. I think I've seen you doing battle with these naysayers on here before. You have a lot of patience.

And my point, which I think you missed, is that his behavior is on a spectrum of which child rape is the furthest end. His disrespect for women is gross. We don't need abusers of any kind in public office. I think you're making excuses for an abuser, and that attitude is misogynistic too.

No. Still the need for satire. Good satire.

24.02.2026 07:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No, there's still use for it--for good satire anyway, which this isn't.

We shouldn't have to make up posts and ruin the planet further with AI stuff to find things to be angry at/ make fun of him about.

24.02.2026 07:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

He does, but this stupid AI-made thing isn't the reason that he does.

It isn't real! Look at the date and the username....

I agree generally but just want to point out that Franken wasn't great, for all that he was a victim of toxic politics. He did grope several women. It's behavior on the same spectrum as the full-on pedos. All disrespect of women sucks. Franken should've done better.

OMFG. They're so grotesque.

Of course there were suppression efforts. But that's different from saying machines were rigged. Dems need to figure out how to run a candidate who can win! Appeal to the working class!

Gaaah...being given videos to watch just reminds me of talking with Maga on Twitter, to be honest. I'm old-fashioned and still trust professional journalists and experts. I appreciate your being courteous and trying to educate me, but.....

I've heard this quote a million times. On the million and first, perhaps I'll see the light and realize it's incontrovertible proof that T rigged the election. I suppose Harris really won in a landslide, right

It'll recover. May take a while

No. This tired complaint is a stupid distraction. He won narrowly, which was unsurprising. It was in line with polls' predictions.

Oh, I was ragging on Trump's "concepts of a plan," the phrase he used during the 2024 campaign when he was asked about the details of his supposed health care plan.

Not to get too irrationally exuberant, but that sounds good.

And that is happening, all around the country. Protests are going on daily. At least they are in my neck of the woods. I think it's strangely misinformed to act like the only time protests ever happen is No Kings.

Well, liberal playmates or not, pigs are cool and don't deserve the opprobrium.
