Cherry on top would be recommending tanning lol.
Just finished watching that train wreck and it went exactly like I (we!?) thought it would!
It’s weird that Donald Trump can’t speak without being nasty. Donald Trump is weird in that mannerism.
So weird. Just a weird weird dude. And old.
He is the oldest convicted criminal to ever run for office!
Don't get me started on the small hands

He’s incapable of changing his tone or approach for situations and different audiences in any major way. He’s always Trump +/- 5% difference.
The only thing old racists hate more than minorities is multiethnic minorities. It confuses and angers them
They like think to fit into very simple basic boxes; Black/White, Male/Female, Christian/Pagan, Americans/Subhumans, Straight/—
Had to explain to someone yesterday that being gay isn't the same as being trans. He's one of them (I'll submit to the irony).
Multiracial people make ethnostates more complicated
She just turned black? Has he not been paying attention for the past 4 years? (Rhetorical question. We all know the answer to that is "no, of course he hasn't, because he's so fixated with himself!")
I'm sure her Jamaican dad would be amazed to hear that his daughter hasn't been black for almost all of her 59 years on this planet.
Almost all?
Well apparently she just turned black.
My wife and I were thinking about turning black. It's just so much paperwork.
I got a lawyer to file mine for me

I said this in another thread, but "things happening/existing before you know about them" is something I'm working on with my child, not something a presidential candidate should struggle with.
Well, he is a 78 year-old child
It's strange that people would think such a weird, small-handed man-child could run anything let alone a country.

There's a joke involving peril sensitive sunglasses here somewhere.
The Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.

In the full quote he did say she turned black "a number of years ago", for context, but he's still full of shit.
that dude's got tiny hands
It is probably a Republican mindset that "race" is still a thing in the US. Who the f cares what race Kamela Harris is - besides "Human"
As someone who grew up in a (not so surprising) racist family: I promise you, they don't care. If she had an (R) next to her name, they'd be voting for her instead of Trump, as long as the opponent had a (D) next to their name.
The modern republican party is what's left of "the south that will rise again". Doesn't matter that Donnie dipshit wasn't born in the south, that's the demographic he's been taught, all his life, that matters.
And in Donnie the dipshit's case, it's basically still 1800s America. Guy hasn't moved a millimeter since 1990. Guy probably doesn't know what the word 'no' even means.
If you vote for Donnie Dumbass, I hope once the liberals are gone ,he comes for you next.
Remember how people were betting when he’d say something openly racist? Bets were September, turns out it was June!
It's July.
I did not consent to July.
Well, good news for you: it's August now.
And only July for today. You ok qooqie?
Qooqie time travelled from the past to warn us about a grave threat in our past.... These Marvel movies keep getting worse since End Game.
Such an old weirdo. He is quite old and rather weird!
You didn’t know? Black is a choice!
Cool. I’m opting out.
One generational wealth, please.
Weird how so many people choose to be brutalized by cops, isn't it?

I wonder if they booked this event a few weeks back when Trump was trying to woo black voters.
Since Biden stepped back and Kamala stepped up he would've abandoned that I guess - seems like instead he's taken the opportunity to upset black voters in order to appeal to his base.
Of course, he could just be being himself.
This was a great well deserved ambush. The very first question was absolutely devastating for him and got him to show his nasty side. He can appeal to his base all he wants because they aren’t the majority.

It's funny (sad funny, not haha funny) we can't really know if what he said was just an incoherent sentence due to his obvious dementia or a racist comment due to his rampant racism or a misogynist comment due to his unbridled misogyny
Trump truly is a whole package of shit
What a fucking moron. My god he represents his voters well.
Anyone want to vote for any of racist Trumps?
I would have thought it was a low bar to clear of not questioning if she is black, but here we are.
And his repugnican cronies just smile and nod just like hes speaking gospel. Can them all, tuna style
Must be why he hasn’t been asking for her birth certificate.
I see it is back up to its old tricks again
