It's easier to watch something US-politics-related when the presenter looks like this. Anyway she wasn't happy with the journalists in the debate.
By now I think Charlize Theron wasn't good-looking enough to play her
I'm old enough to remember when being this horny on main was considered "cringe"
I suppose it's a difference of culture. To me it is perfectly normal to be happy with beauty in people. It's pretty different from "being horny", which as a statement is cringe.
There's also the issue of wishing to make me the subject of the discussion just because I liked someone you view as your enemy, but I am sure that's just dandy.

This article is amusing, because when he said in the debate, that if elected, before even taking office, he would negotiate an end to the War in Ukraine, I turned to my wife and said "Well, that's illegal". 
Harris' quip that Putin would ""eat Trump for lunch" was so spot on. Trump is already a lightweight in foreign policy/diplomacy, incompetent, uninformed and far too easily manipulated and susceptible to flattery... but now that he is experiencing and displaying serious mental decline as he ages, its even worse.

Trump and his enablers have never cared about what is legal or illegal. And SCOTUS ahs conformed, that Trump has immunity from committing illegal acts.

I find the view that a president-elect is just a private citizen quite hilarious.
Besides which the United States is not a party to the war between Russia and Ukraine,
so negotiating an end to that war is not necessarily negotiating for the USA.
Of more relevance to that Act would be the reported business of Ronald
Reagan indicating he didn't want Iran to release the hostages too soon.

I’m going to be honest, when Harris brought up Charlottesville, I immediately double face palmed at her when she brought up the “fine people on both sides” controversy.

I would be amazed if none of them ever met with some foreign head of state before the official inauguration, that legal folks now have to quibble on this point.
Though I don't think Trump has any interest in resolving the Ukraine war at all. To him, that would mean the fighting just ends now as-is and Russia earns all of its gains.

Bigger than Logan Act violations, for me, was that he admitted to threatening some world leader (we'll call him Abdul) by intimating that our military would target him and his family specifically.
OMG, I forgot about that. He did say that. That was a disgraceful thing to say on national television and just goes to show how little respect he has for the office of POTUS or America's global reputation. His wannabe Mobster attitude on full display.
He is just a crimelord masquerading as a businessman/politician.
He said so many despicable things I can't even keep track of them all, but thanks for reminding about that, because that one was one of the worst things he said. What a disgrace he is.
Looking back on bold predictions... I'm gonna go ahead and do a victory lap on this one:
@Narz - When I said this, you responded by asking me why Kennedy would want Trump to win. What do you think now?

@Narz - When I said this, you responded by asking me why Kennedy would want Trump to win. What do you think now?
Yes. In formal settings like on the news or on TV, it is done as a sign of respect for the office. Once a person has been elected President, they are spoken of as "President" and addressed as "Mr. (hopefully soon Madam
) President" for life, unless the person addressing them wants to make a point of intentionally giving them a lower level of respect by calling them "Former President" or disrespecting them by just calling them "Mr.", or simply by their last name. You can usually get a sense of what level of respect/esteem the speaker has or at least wants to show, by which they opt for, in addressing or discussing a former POTUS. FOX News and/or Republicans will typically refer to Trump as "President Trump", while MSNBC and/or Democrats will generally refer to him as "former President", "Mr. Trump" or just "Trump", with some even opting to refer to him as things like "Disgraced" or "Twice Impeached, former President Trump" and similar.

The Polish media that my mom consumes claims that Trump won the debate. I don't trust them though, but where can I read about an unbiased analysis of the debate that summarizes everything in in less than 2 sentences?
HuffPost generally is pretty succinct compared to other news sources

I personally feel that it doesn’t matter who won the debate since is just going to be boiled down to one’s opinion. Republican leaning sources will state Trump won the debate and Democratic leaning sources will state Harris won the debate. For instance; David Packman would make a statement that Harris won while Tim Pool would make a statement that Trump “PWNED” Harris in the debate.

Harris won the debate.
The markets decided Harris won.
Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, the company that owns Truth Social, fell 13 percent on Wednesday afternoon, while other so-called Trump trades such as Bitcoin and crypto stocks retreated. Solar stocks, seen as benefitting from a Harris win, rallied and healthcare shares fell.
online prediction markets showed bets on a stronger likelihood of a Harris win in November: Harris’s odds in PredictIt’s 2024 presidential general election market improved to 55 cents from 53 cents before the debate, while Trump’s odds slipped from 52 cents to 47 cents.
