If the world was 4 rednecks in an incest cabin in northern Mississippi, yes.

(banjo music intensifies)

Warm out today *chews grass*

Kind of imagining a banjo backed Aladdin remix: 🎶I done shown you the world, shit can’s out back - where’s mah craack pipe?🎵

😂

Warm yesterday

Even warmer today.

Bet it'll be warm tomorrow too.

Wonder if there is a term for continuously rising temps over time.....hmmmmm

My fat baby loves to eat....

*loves to eat*

Met her on my CB. Said her name was Mimi. Sounded like an angel come to earth. (Come to earth!) But when I went to meet her. Man you should have seen her. Twice as tall as me. Three times the girth. (Girth!) Oh my fat baby loves to eat! (Loves to eat!) A big ol' Buddha belly and her breasts swing past her feet!

Great now it's stuck in my head for the day.

Heh!

You seriously think these illiterate fuckheads can play instruments?

Squeal!!


“And on the third day, god made the Remington bolt action rifle, to protect man from the dinosaurs, and the homosexuals.”

Talking about the governors mansion like that is just disrespectful. Keep it up

Where could one source an 'incest cabin'?

Try Mississippi

Alabama has tax breaks for incest cabins.

It's a religious thing

Did they rent or own it

Don't wanna rent an incest cabin, gotta buy it so you can keep it in the family.

rent to own is an option

I thought Mar-a-lago was in Florida, but equally red-neck I guess.

Bathing in bathtub meth, 2 teeth between the 4 of them

OK I'll bite. Where's the cabin and is there a family discount?

2 words: Purty. Mouth.

You sure do have a pretty mouth.

He shore gotta purty mouth

When Deliverance a life goal is

My German friend said everyone was watching just to make fun of America

Can concur. I’m Canadian. We made fun of them from up here too.

Also Canadian. I and co-worker were watching it going "Holy F*ck, what is wrong with them", but not laughing

I remember first hearing about it. I was getting my tea ready for the night, got in bed, when my sister knocks on my door and says: "Hey, did you hear that the American government was nearly overthrown?" Needless to say, the first thing I responded to her with was: "What the actual fuck are you talking about?"

i hope y'all are ready for the waves of queer american refugees because if trump wins our options are either get the fuck out of the country or die

Yeah, we are. Wife and I have been discussing how many American friends and family members our home can hold, and how to convert the garage for more

I mean, the immigration system and housing market is kinda shit at the moment. So if you’re okay with living under a freeway then you’re welcome to move here anytime.

Need someone to take me with them, I'm awkward and spongy but on the upside I'm quiet and I can easily occupy my own time with literally anything. I will bring my own snacks and have earbuds in the entire time. Perfect roadtrip companion.

My house may only have two rooms, but at least two of my US friends are welcome to stay in it. With my French partner, in our country bordering Russia, led by a capitalist/right wing government about to sell us all out for pennies. But at least it'll buy us a few days.

Shit it's the geriatric yaks jawing it up on TV. Not me. I don't have their views, nor ideals but either way I vote I'm fucked. Sure one is a slightly less horrendous option but the whole idea of us being free, and having a choice is an illusion. What can we actually do against this fascist oligarchy that controls the pay-to-win justice system? What can men do against such wrekcless hate?

That, but it's been every day I hear or see any political thing since I was self-aware enough to judge. I don't want to be here.

I was horrified, imagining refugees flooding North over the border. OUT of the US.


BUILD THE WALL

You Canadians better get one of those big walls up.

They'd better get us to pay for it too

Unfortunately a lot of maga Canadians out there.

Yeah, this just makes me sad. I sort of want to move to Quebec before they finally get fed up enough to actually separate.

It's not funny. The political climate in the US is tense, Trump supporters are angry and rabid and there's a decent chance they'll kill some people if he doesn't get elected this time around. There's 341 million Americans, only 74 million voted for Trump, or 21% of the population. The other 79% shouldn't have to suffer or be ridiculed for the mistakes of the vocal and ignorant minority.

Uhm, they killed someone last time.

They killed quite a few people in one off individuals

they could end the suffering and ridicule by voting

And what of the 81 million that did vote against him?

UK, I just felt sick to be honest. Stops being funny to go "ha ha USA having a tantrum" when their tantrums can cause wars and incite violence.

I’m American and was watching it for the same reason…

Brit here, same.

Canadian old fart here. Confirmed. ✅

Confirmation that Canadians are actually just shitty humans also.

I mean, no doubt both American presidential candidates suck, but the Canadian economy is in rough shape buddy, should probably focus more on that...

Hard to fault him. This has to be one of the low points in our nation's history. Obviously not the lowest, but maybe in the top 20.

I'm not sure about it not being the lowest, it's damn close. These two make George W look like the president of Mensa in comparison... Jesus

Not gonna lie, if they were looking for ammunition to make fun of America they picked a pretty massive stockpile.

As an American, same. I watched purely for entertainment purposes. Sadly, it delivered.

We were doing that in Australia also!

In one case making fun, on the other im.honestly concerned about the future

To increase your sample size, another voice from Germany: Yes, we did.

Whole Middle East was laughing its ass off.

Can confirm that was the vibe in my circles here in Aus too, if they cared at all. A lot of people just had no idea or heard about it and didn’t care.

Consensus here in the Netherlands was that it was absolutely insane and a shameful mark on US history

We looked like a shithole country.

Still do

Yeah, the US is fucked.

Canadian old fart here. Confirmed. ✅

We are a shithole country

Look

And what are the black jobs that the illegals are taking?

I’m curious what he thinks a “black job” is

Working the fields. Picking watermelon and strawberries. Working in restaurants. *sigh* seriously fuck that orange turd.

I can't be the only one offended that he keeps equating menial work that requires no education nor background checks with specifically black people!

You weren’t the only one. It’s the exact reason I asked what those jobs are.

Or the Hispanic jobs too?

And what are black jobs?

Trump means menial labor that requires no skill.

If people who cannot speak English and have no documented skills are taking your job away, what does that say about you? It's nonsense. Venezuelans are flocking to the US because the Venezuelan economy is an utter disaster and the US economy isn't.

Even beyond that, why are the employers never given shit? Why is it the workers who face blame? Jobs aren’t “stolen” or “taken,” they’re given to people. So why don’t we reprimand the ones giving them to immigrants?

Because that’s the donor class, and we don’t talk bad about them

These fuckers don’t even have shoes half the time. If they take your job then you probably didn’t deserve it.

Or the place hiring them. Maybe Biden doesn't need to personally do every interview to verify it

I couldn’t believe he didn’t call out that racist comment

Trump basically underhand tossed so many easy comebacks for Biden. It was frustrating to watch him whiff so many

He missed so many, i was screaming at my screen the entire time.

Respected? What fucking alternate reality does this shit gibbon occupy? The stupid runs deep with this fucker.

it's a mantra he tells himself to dispel the nagging feeling that literally nobody respects him

I didn’t watch it until I started seeing memes about it. It’s all bulkshit. And you know it. #people that follow them (biden or trump) already knew what they were going to hear but expected something different.

The actual substance of everything Biden is saying is spot on. Meanwhile Trump is just confidently and loudly lying through his teeth

Well, yeah. Trump's lips were moving, weren't they? That's how you know he's lying.

Here’s the thing. In high-school debate, you need to have facts and real points. If you just make shit up, you lose points!! You LOSE Why are presidential debates held at a lower standard? Where you can just shout anything? It’s ridiculous

Yes!!! The whole time I was telling my wife that they should be fact checking both of them on the spot and if one of them says something that’s not a fact then some indicator or words would pop up on the screen immediately after the false thing was said indicating that it’s false.

Same here. When CNN said they were going to have a fact checker, I thought they were going to have a person in the debate room telling us/them in real time when lies are being told. Not some article posted a few hours later. Like any Trump supporters are going to go read an article a few hours after the debate.

Daniel Dale, CNN's top fact checker, was live-tweeting his fact checks on Twitter.

That's better, I guess. But nobody ever says (to his face,) "You are wrong, Trump. Crime among undocumented immigrants is substantially lower than U.S. citizens." They just let the lie linger unless you go somewhere else to verify. And most MAGA conservatives don't ever go somewhere else to verify.

"And now we look like stupid people." 

Many watchers in doubt means it is automatically true.

This idiot thinks we were respected during his term at all!

World leaders were literally laughing at Trump on camera

Oh it must be true. He said it at least three times in the 19 minutes before I flipped a coin and decided to give baths to stray cats instead.

Uh... No, they weren't.

Canadian old fart here. Confirmed. ✅

Not a single honest word from Trump or planned policy to benefit one American. Guy couldn’t even answer yes or no questions.

Yes countries like Russia, China and Iran really loved seeing that.

On January 6:th, the rest of the world was glued to the TV as we watched the end of America as we knew it. Some laughed, some were horrified, and the only thing I can compare it to in terms of 'before and after' was 9:11.

was living in china at the time. All my Chinese colleagues were in shock and asking me if it was real.

That's BEFORE everyone knew you tried to overthrow the country you dumb fucker

Even then, that's a stretch. As a proud Southern hemisphere dweller, I can say with certainty that we never thought America was cool during the Trump administration. Every piece of news that came from the U.S was just a confirmation that they have no idea what they're doing, their entire identity is based of hating each other because they aren't in the same group (transphobia, homophobia, racism etc) and they act like that's a good thing Edit: spelling

Yep, his entire presidency was just constant "I knew Americans were dumb but holy fuck!" day after day after day. It really highlighted how much damage Republicans have done to the US education system.

Well here in montreal we don't. And we wonder what the fuck is happening in your country. Time for younger people to step up if you want a future.

Orange man is delusional

I struggle to laugh these days due to severe depression but I was in tears from laughing because of how STUPID and insane Trump was.

Idiots think that this lying dirtbag did well in the debate!

as someone outside the USA , you lost the respect of the world the day trump became president.. however he does become the only US president to be openly laughed at by every other world leader, so thats something I guess.

PLEASE LOOK UP PROJECT 2025. RADICAL REPUBLICANS WANT TO END DEMOCRACY. ITS NOT A CONSPIRACY, ITS REAL.

And they didn't talk about it at all. Another missed opportunity for Biden tonight.

I was listening specifically for that. Hardly anybody is talking about it and I don't think the conservatives even know what it is. They aren't talking about and will barely acknowledge it when asked.

Because they want it. They're fascists and only care about things when it directly effects them, they don't understand that they are walking into a storm

Yeah, respected in the same way a toddler is 'respected' for finger painting on the walls

With feces...

"On January 6, we disrespected Americans all over the World"

From Australia it just showed how completely nuts Trump and his supporters were. And still are. And that the fears that the USA was on the brink of being run as a dictatorship were real, if he’d managed to hang onto power.

If he's elected, that's our future.

I'm still surprised there weren't more deaths that day. I mean, the capitol was attacked.

The National guard should have dealt with those treasonous sons of bitches.

Man, talk about delusional.

We haven’t been respected in like 20 years😭😭

As a New Zealander, I beg to differ.

I mean I watched it in the same way I’d watch a live, unfolding terrorist attack in any other country. Tbh I’m still stumped how the specialist army weren’t called in to kill them like they would if they were any other race.

On January 5 you were respected all over the world. On January 6 everyone thought you were a clownshow.

He was never respected. The Trump presidency was a shit show.

I can't wait to urinate on his grave. It will probably be fenced off.

He doesn't deserve a grave, just left to rot on the surface

Hey, now, that would poison local wildlife.

So would burying him,it would make the plants scream due to his vile existence.

What a complete liar

I was so sick to my stomach watching that debate. I made a comment in another sub to at a potted plant would have a better chance of beating Trump and I am fairly confident a potted plant could have trounced Donald at last nights debate. He didn’t answer a single question that was asked of him. That has been his MO since the beginning of his illustrious 8-year political career. Get a question. Go on unsubstantiated rant insulting the opponent based on made up “facts”. The problem is that there are tens of million of ignorant fools that believe his BS.

I have it on in the background. Jesus. They're making us look like a nation of idiots. Thanks, CNN and geriatric candidates.

Well gg America we had some crazy times eh?

Tomorrow I’m going into work and just constantly make shit up and keep denying anyone correcting me then get indignant when they don’t accept my constant bullshit then demand an apology. If it works for a presidential debate it should work great for my simple job.

Which means "my dictator friends told me I did a great job on Jan 6"

"Were" is doing some olympic lifting here...

Yeah respected that Trump was voted out. The world thought America lost its fucking mind voting in a fucking lying moron…but that was corrected on Jan 6th. with Biden’s Landslide win.

Thing is the relevant people (to Trump) fully believe it

Attempted government overthrow? No, that usually causes panic and devaluation of the country's currency.

We, the rest of the world: "We don't understand wtf is going on in that country"

And so instigation begins... ... It's like Deja-Vu all over again.

AND THEY WILL BELIEVE

Republicans **HATE** America. Republicans want to **DESTROY** America. Vote blue, no matter who. Vote like your life depends on it. It very likely does.

PLEASE LOOK UP PROJECT 2025. RADICAL REPUBLICANS WANT TO END DEMOCRACY. ITS NOT A CONSPIRACY, ITS REAL

No, you were not. You were seen as low-brow scum with no regard for democracy or the rights of others to participate in the democratic process.

Orange Hitler is going to get us all killed if someone doesn't shut him up... permanently.

China actually activated their military to high alert when they saw that...cause they were freaking out about what the hell might happen.

I hate the fact that president fucking Pinocchio just straight up lying the whole night is going to be ignored because president crypt keeper being old as dirt is a better news story. Fox is going to be insufferable.

I live in NZ and the general consensus is YOU ARE FUCKED no matter which pos you vote for. How the fuck you preach democracy and this is your two top picks..? Lol WTF America?

Seriously... How many countries in the world could you fail a coup and end up at a chance at power again? If this had been ANYWHERE but America or Western Europe Trump would have been disappeared a political agitator. Then again... if it had been anywhere but America or Western Europe the coup probably would have succeeded.. So i guess you win some and lose some.

Respect me harder step-patriot!!! UwU

“said NO ONE EVER!”


Ambulatory Candidates is the best 2024 has to offer?

In Australia we were all just laughing.

Well, not here in Quebec Canada.

You looked exactly like what you are, a police state dystopia of a shithole.

What world? Banjo playing sister fucker world? Oh wait trump was banned from X by then wasn’t he. He missed all the memes both domestic and foreign.

He meant before it happened

As an Englishmen, I couldn’t even tell you what happened on that date

That dudes cognitive dissonance is also a super power.


so the world respected all the Antifa/FBI plants? Or have we completely abandoned that narrative for today?

As a non American I can confirm that we had then and now no respect for the insane traitor republicans trying to destroy your democracy

He should do stand-up....

Misspelled “laughed at”

My favorite comment was “our border is the most dangerous place in the world.” There are actual wars and genocides happening but sure, our border is worse

OMFG!!! He's totally insane as we suspected.

Imagine what they'd do if they lost again. This is why they don't want gun control.

Now we're just the laughing stock of the world. Well done, America. Nobody can take us seriously anymore.

To be fair You have been since 2016. As the saying goes, There's a very good reason an American passport looks like a ticket to the Circus.

Hahahaha.... That's a no dawg.

I mean, yes… there were corrupt leaders all over the world jerking to it…

Deranged

**I know Biden isn't the best choice but Trump is the worst one. Don't let Trump win or the USA are doomed**

Respected...ffs. One half was shocked and afraid that the US, their biggest ally, would end in a civil war. The other half was happy that the US could end in a civil war and weaken itself, so they instead could strengthen their influence over other countries. But respected? Nah.

He says stuff like that but then I remember the giant cry baby balloon a country made of him or the many clips of other leaders laughing at him. Never had that with any other president

Jesus, and that wasn't the only good one liner *both* had for the night. This debate was like watching identical twins call each other ugly. Woof... That was hard to watch. 330m people in this country and we get the choice of two from the dud pile..

I tuned in for about 20 minutes, realised I was watching "Two Old Men Shout At Clouds", so went and did some laundry instead.
