MAGA Furious Over Donald Trump, Joe Biden Debate: 'Rigged'
The mic will be muted when it's not your turn to speak. This will prevent Trump from being Trump. Probably refer to it as a 1st amendment issue any day now.
And no audience of paid actors to cheer whenever he tries to insult someone
Ever watch a sitcom without the laugh reel? Its sad
Didn't MASH try that at first? People said they felt weird laughing "by themselves"
MASH was never supposed to have a laugh track. It was a Network decision that affected the American versions. Other countries got MASH without the laugh track.
No shit! r/mash
Right? The only laugh track was Hawkeye's cackle. Way better. Network execs are idiots.
MASH had a couple episodes that they actually handled seriously. The OR scenes seldom had one. IIRC the episode The Interview was one without any laugh track at all.
They never used one in the operating theater.
Here in the UK, MASH was always shown without a laugh track, and was all the better for it.
I remember once that one episode accidentally aired in the UK with the laugh track included. The Brits were royally pissed off about it.
I believe that the UK gave Canada the go-ahead to invade the US. Nuclear was an option........
Thankfully, the network apologized, and promised that it would never happen again.
Canada almost had to break out the Checklist
Try to imagine "The Office" with a laugh track.
Just no.
I remember the DVDs of mash let you turn off the laugh track and I found it so much better. I've seen clips of Big bang theory (a show I didn't watch) without the laugh track and the long awkward pauses are so terrible, it's really bad without the track, but with mash it wasn't anywhere even close to being that bad.
BBT was filmed in front of a live audience so the pauses for laughter are part of the show. MASH was “sweetened” with canned laughter.
Yep, tv show MASH was shot on Century Ranch north of Malibu, and on Fox's smallest soundstage, so no live audience. The laugh track is horrible... I heard some of the hoo-hoo/hah hah!!!'s were lifted from Red Skelton's audience laughter.
MY RIGHT TO BE A TOTAL ASSHOLE IS BEING INFRINGED
This sums up MAGA very well. Being a decent, honorable person is not part of the MAGA philosophy. This is why I think the Republican party is already dead.
LOL - Trump should be gagged like Bobby Seale of the Chicago Seven...
or Hannibal Lecter perhaps?
The late, great Hannibal Lector, wonderful guy, had his friend for dinner!
“I could eat. You?”
“I could eat you.”
Punctuation matters.
Yea, just ask Uncle Jack.
Well, he was late (actually no, his character doesn’t die), and he was great at what he did. I would assume Trump aspires to be more like the esteemed Dr. Lecter, and wear his dashing facial accoutrement, yes? It can be painted orange …
Freedom of speech is dead if they don't let me shout over my opponent!
muting the mic between statements and questions was music to my fucking ear.
I want a debate. an actual debate. not one person trying to be professional and give us information, while the other person bombasts their way through by interrupting with insults.
if that person wants to spend their a lot of time doing that, fine. but if the debate format doesn't allow for people to speak, it's worthless.
Seriously. The 2020 debate was ridiculous. Annoyed the hell out of me.
Is this a condition that was agreed to? I haven't seen the details of what dumbass agreed to besides I believe the date and venue.
Yes, all the rules and venues were agreed to yesterday. This morning, Trump’s people sobered up and thought … “shit.”
I love it.
He says whatever he wants all day long every day. He wants to step all over Biden’s time and also avoid answering real questions so he can stick to his regular script. He wants to control the debate and turn it into another personal rally and firehose of unsubstantiated grievances.
The format is to avoid that and keep it as a debate. He can back out anytime. But he shouldn’t be able to morph it into something else and then manipulate the event.
Exactly. Personally I'm expecting him to back out of at least one of them.
But they will claim they gave the questions to Biden in advance, like they supposedly did with Hillary. Whether it's true of not, that is the GOP narrative "Dems always cheat".
Yep, if it isn't hosted by, and entity run by people thst support Trump, it is rugged to that paranoid sack of shit.
As far as I can tell he believes that anyone thst isn't 100% subservient to his will is out to get him... And even then, his closest associates are only trusted up until the second they aren't.
He will turn on anyone and everyone, at the drop of a hat, and he thinks everyone else is like that, too.
Well mostly... you allow trump to talk but only about policy. He can't do it, doesn't even know what the issue are. He'll look like an idiot -> MAGA base thinks debate is rigged.
Joe Biden took advantage of a man with dementia!
You can't be certain of that. There are significant amounts of evidence trump is extremely stupid.
I'm not saying it can't be both, I'm just saying don't disregard his incredible stupidity 🤣🤣
Make the diagnosis of dementia that much harder.
You can rig a debate by making it about the issues and your policy positions and not about spewing hot air everywhere. So clearly since Trump would need to speak factually about his government policy and since he can’t, it’s rigged.
His main strategy is “getting his excuses in early”
Ah yes logic. Trump is well known for it
covefe !
It literally doesn't matter whether or not it is true that it is rigged. This is a tactic so no matter what happens Trump can't lose the debate, and if he wins then he gets a massive post-win bonus.
If Biden trounces Trump in the debate, then they will point to these month-old posts and say that they are absolute proof the debate was rigged. If Trump wins, then he is so good he won in spite of it being rigged, again now being a "fact" because of these posts from a month before the debate.
Basically, if you wait until after you lose the debate to lie and say it was rigged then you are a sore loser. But if you lie and say it is already rigged a month before it happens, then the very fact you are pointing back to your prediction from a month before becomes irrefutable proof it actually was rigged. No ACTUAL evidence is needed this way.
In all fairness I don’t think trump knows where he is some of the time. So saying a man with dementia is capable of agreeing to the terms of anything no matter how simple isn’t fair
The format makes it impossible for Trump to constantly interrupt Biden and MAGA considers how often you interrupt your opponent as the measure of winning a debate.
According to them everything is rigged, but somehow they never bring the receipts. You’d think they’d catch on by now.
Pretty sure he "agreed" to the terms because he has zero intention of actually showing up. He'll come up with a lame excuse, somehow blaming Biden, and bail out before it happens.
Anytime this yutz has to stand on his own “merits” everything is “rigged” against him.
If things ever had been “rigged”, the bastard never would have won the first time.
If things had never been rigged in his favor, he’d be yellin’ “Cold Beer” at Yankee Stadium!
This stuff always reminds me of regulating my kids when they play games: "Just because you lost doesn't mean they cheated."
MAGA's vocabulary = rigged, witch hunt, hoax.
This is what I want to teach my children. In America, everything is rigged or a witch hunt or hoax if you don’t get your way.
Fail a test: the teacher rigged it. Got caught smoking: it's a hoax. Stabbed a fellow student: it's a witch hunt. /s
I blame participation trophies
Trump’s entire life has been a participation trophy.
He’s the poster boy for the inherently detrimental nature of nepotism. It hurts everyone including the benefactor.
So, it's the Boomers' fault since they were the ones who gave out the Participation Trophies?
Always was
I'm GenX with Boomer parents. Participation trophies were not a thing when I was growing up. I blame this on my Gen.
They definitely were a thing while growing up as a gen x kid. You might win a 1st, 2nd, or red place trophy or ribbon, but everyone got a participation one too.
I'm a Xennial with Boomer parents and they were certainly around when I was growing up. Everyone at least got a ribbon.
Our nation's first participation trophies were confederate monuments, same crowd as MAGA so that actually makes sense.
The south lost the Civil War, so every statue of Lee is really just a giant-ass participation trophy! (And they are still butt-hurt!) 😂
Bro, this country is rigged but not in the way the GOP Elites tell you about.
Don't forget "stollen"
tHe wOrlD is eNdInG aNd oNlY tHe gOdKiNg rApIsT can sAvE uS!!!!!
The weird thing too is…
Trumps first two years of office under total GOP control: “The only thing we can manage to pass with full control of the house/senate/presidency is this tax bill to enrich our CEO friends.”
Trumps second half in office: “ThE dEmOcRaTs aRe sTonEWaLLinG evErYtHiNG I wAnT tO dO. I wAnT tO Do sO mUcH aNd I cAn’t!”
It absolutely amazed me that they had entire control over everything for two years and couldn’t pass shit. They 100% needed a boogieman to blame all their short comings and disagreements on. We watched it all come to pass. They had it all, and their god-emperor did nothing.
This is so right it’s scary. Even whilst in full control of EVERYTHING, managed to get an election ‘rigged’ against him. Yet they still believe. Utterly bizarre
Oh they passed plenty of stuff that made life better for a certain percentage of the country. A very small percentage that has all the money. But apparently Trump is a working man's man an will help all us normal folk. Yeah like he did last time lol. Still waiting on his health plan to replace Obama care.
disgrace, cofefe
That’s COVFEFE, get your Trumpism gibberish right! 😆 /s
You two fight it out I'm going to get a hamberder.
Every accusation is a confession
"crooked" "crime family"
Disastah
the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
They definitely know the word Hunter as well
It hasn't even happened yet! This is the most realistic out in the open and current brainwashing example I've seen in my lifetime
Don't forget WOKE and Libural
Don't forget STOLLEN
Trump baited, he took the bait and was landed.
He’s a master at baiting!
And I'd bet $100 that he worms his way out of debating and then shifts the blame to Biden somehow.
Only $ 100? I bet a dollar to a doughnut he'll back of both of them. Be "no show" those nights.
Someone else said he will try and get the fox News sponsored debate first.
Then when it's time for the CNN and ABC ones he will be a no show
He will won't get his mic cut off and he will be able to spout as much verbal garbage as he wants, then back out the ones where he'd have to be cut off
Oh, it's a sucker bet. It'd be the easiest $100 I ever made.
Translation: They realize Biden led him into a trap, and they realize this will expose Trump's weaknesses for everyone to see.
This.
BUT TFG was the one that was calling out Biden for a debate…so actually TFG trapped himself LOL.
MAGA thought Trump would challenge Biden and Biden would chicken out and they’d feel like they got a win. Biden agrees and they feel trapped? They’re children. They’re just so dumb it’s silly. They’ll never see it or admit it. That’s why they still support Trump - they can’t admit when they’re wrong. Children. Every last one of them.
They aren’t serious people. Logan Roy would crush ‘em …
always the same whining, crying tantrums from the mango tinted jollum followers, his plain simple ordinary deceived jollum
MAGA and Trump have certainly perfected The Art of the Whine!
Any time, any place!
Wait.. not there and that way! So unfairly!!!
They’re a day short—not even a day. They agreed to the terms/rules and venues yesterday, and this morning began laying the groundwork to weasel out. Classic!
“Whaaaaaa!!!” - MAGA
The ultimate weakness of cults, any deviation from the leader is condemned and possibly throw them under the bus.
They just want Trump to be able to stand up there and interrupt, whine about “the radical left”, make stupid childish comments, and be the bully. They aren’t interested in a debate. They are interested in the sideshow that Trump puts on for them.
Bingo!
We need a counter to keep track of all the Trump key phrases…
1) if you just look at what’s happening/if you look at it
2) …… like you’ve never seen
3) witch hunt
4) you don’t even know
5) radical left… (and all variations of negative connotations he attributes to the left)
6) election interference
7) political persecution
Hell of a drinking game.
That’s a drinking game that will end in the emergency room
Or a funeral parlor.
lol, I’ve never had alcohol poisoning before, might be better than listening to him rant like a lunatic.
You forgot “a lot of people are saying it”
- …a little thing called…
Trump will chicken out
This is his way of doing it. I can't debate Biden because it's rigged.
My money is on him saying something like "The Biden trials won't allow me to attend/participate" or "I won't be able to defend myself due to the crooked Biden gag order" or some other nonsense.
Last time, they had to fake that he had Covid to get him out of it. Then he "miraculously" got better, due in large part to the non-disclosure agreements they made the doctors sign.
For people who emphasize personal responsibility they sure whine a lot.
Nothing like the sportsmanship of a republican politician. It will never be, "You got me, good job, sir, they chose you; it's your job now. Do a good job for the country and good luck." We get, "Rigged!", or, "The only way they win is if they cheat!" It's such a dead horse.
But Joe Biden is subject to the same constraints
Scared of Sleepy Joe? Going to make everything about feelings? Put up or shut up cowards.
Why do these whiny Trump supporters claim every situation is "rigged?" Jesus, they even claimed the 2016 election was rigged and they actually WON.
Yeah, but not by enough for his liking. Then lied about the size of the crowd at his inauguration, like the whole damn thing wasn’t televised.
If everyone's always against you, maybe you're the asshole. Just sayin'
"You've got Hollywood against Donald Trump, you've got the music industry against Donald Trump, mainstream media and even the judicial system at this point."
Yeah, it almost makes you wonder just who is it that's for Trump at this point, and why?
They're calling it rigged right now because they know he's going to look really bad.
If he's lucky, he can get out of it by sitting in jail.
I think it’s simultaneously hilarious and incredibly infuriating that a group of people who claim that the woke population need to stop playing the victim all the time as they ceaselessly claim to be the victims of one nefarious conspiracy or another without a shred of anything remotely resembling evidence.
Or how they go about enraged at the snowflake generation and all of their mental health concerns being triggered then get on the mic and declare their concern for the mental anguish of their poor persecuted cult leader as he sleeps his way through his trial in the most depressing room in the world.
OR how they cannot seem to go more than a minute without mentioning something about how unfair it is that this court has allegedly denied Trump of his rights to freedom of speech, but go on to create legislation that actually prevents people and organizations from using certain words like, gay and climate change… not to mention their war on library books…
Hypocrisy and projection, thy name is republican!
Surefire way to spot a loser: After every loss, he claims the game was rigged. Any article about these folks should be titled, “Losing Losers Prepare to Lose Again.”
I like how Sean Hannity was calling Jake Tapper a “ left wing so called journalist”. This coming from a guy who can’t complete a full sentence without the word “woke” after costing his networks millions for spouting fake news.
Anything that makes the MAGA crowd 'furious' makes me smile.
What's up, boys and girls?
Your Cheeto Dust Plastic Jesus wants his paid actors in the audience?
That 'mike is off when it's not your turn to speak' rule is actually to The Pumpkin Rapist's advantage.
Unlike their last debate, Biden will not have the opportunity kneecap your Cheeto Dust Cult Leader with "Will you just shut up, man?" like he did during the last debate they had.
Totally freaked The Pumpkin Rapist out - no one had told him to shut up for a long time, since his daddy Fred died.
And what was great was - he shut up.
Are they admitting that the Mr. Art of the deal infact has no fukn clue how to make a deal.
I am not a person of faith, but if I had to pray for anything today, it would be that Biden wipes the floor with Trump in these debates and exposes his debilitating mental n physical health. Just destroy his ego/aura once and for all. Trump should die trying before he wins another office in the government.
P.s. lets see how soon I am recommended to the mental health hot line with reddit. Been a new fad with conservative snowflakes lately
Well I Suppose it is rigged considering Biden has a brain and trump just has a hollow space where the brain should be.
They are toast once tRump opens his lying pie hole and totally embarrass the whole cult.
Does "Anytime, anyplace" mean something else to them? Or are they so used to Trump lying they are already helping him convert from what he said to what he wanted without taking a breath?
If we make it to January 21st without a civil war can we all agree to stop caring about MAGA fucks and stop reporting on them and can Trump and all his little WIMP followers just fade away back into the sewer where they belong?
Losers cry about things being rigged, winners go home and fuck the prom queen.
So anything with rules or requiring intellegence...is rigged? Funny.
Lol, the rules I agreed to are rigged. I couldn’t bring this up before I agreed because I can’t think one step ahead. Oh well, RIGGED!
MAGA furious? I'm shocked. They're normally so calm and level-headed. /s
Okay, but will they make Trump ware his prison jump suit, that the only question I have
Its only RIGGED if Trump can't cheat and lie
The terms are no lying,you must present actual FACTS,and no lying….so to Trump this IS rigged.
Trumpanzees already know….😂
Anything that doesn't go their way is rigged. Even before it happens.
Ape not allowed to scream and throw feces to disrupt and interrupt = rigged
Of course they are. DJT is rigged to be a fucking moron.
It's so unfair for trump( a moron ), to have too debate Biden( a smart man ). So unfair, Trump is just too stupid.
Obviously MAGA(t) don't really have a lot of faith in Diaper Donnie The Meltdown King.
Don't they trust the Stable Genious?
It’s almost like they are the biggest snowflake? 🤷♂️
lol why are they worried that Biden will be fed the “correct” answers? I thought it was a debate, not an oral exam. There is the reasonable, well-thought out response, and then there is the nonsensical, semi-literate garbage that might spew out of the other guy’s facial sphincter. That’s what they’re worried about.
I LOVE how this demonstrates maga's fear of a Biden-Trump debate.
It's like the adjunct to Trump telling his followers to attack those who disagree with him:
This is maga telling Trump to run away from debating Joe.
It's evidence that maga knows Trump doesn't have what it takes to be POTUS.
Didn’t Trump ask to debate Biden?
I have a feeling Trump is going to change his mind or just be a no show. He won’t debate unless it’s heavily in his favor. My predictions is that we won’t have any presidential debates. Trump was a no show at the primary debates. He will be a no show again.
Well, winners get to dictate terms. And since MAGAts and their leader are losers....
It IS rigged! One of them is incoherent, mentally unstable and not qualified at all! The other is Joe Biden.
Magas consider it fair when it's rigged in their favor.
They're claiming Biden will be fed the questions in advance. Here's an idea, let's have them ask each other questions.
Probably both will know the questions ahead of time that is ordinary for debates. Of course Trump will need to hire someone to read them to him.
Wasn't it Trump hounding Biden to do this? He must have expected Biden not to agree to do it. Perhaps he bought into his own bs propaganda.
Well, Trump tells us Biden cant put two sentences together and is an awful debater, he keeps telling himself lies too.
Morons. That’s really all I have to say anymore. Deplorable doesn’t even do it now.
GOP: all future events not staged by us are rigged. Unfair. Anti-democratic. Illegal.
Pathetic Trump Already Trying to Weasel Out of Debating Biden
After agreeing to two debates with Biden, Donald Trump seems to be trying to set up an excuse to escape the whole thing.
https://newrepublic.com/post/181613/trump-escape-biden-debate
Keep in mind, these are really simple people we're talking about. Glue eaters.
What debate? The one Trump claims he can't do because gag order?
Fuck Trump and MAGA.
Are they saying they agreed to a rigged debate like idiots would?
The brain dead morons are mad dump won’t be able to interrupt and talk over Biden.
Trump: "i want to debate Biden"
Biden: "ok"
MAGA: "RIGGED!"
Everything is rigged in that man's world. That's a loser mentality.
Say wasn't that 2016 election rigged too? Donald kept saying it was. What happened there?
So they agreed on the terms of the debates, and then Trump starts calling the debates rigged.
Kind of like when they killed that excellent immigration bill so Trump could have something to complain about, and immediately began blaming Biden for the chaos at the border.
“Rigged”= “waaaah! They’re not doing things the way I want them to!”
I would love to hear MAGA not furious over anything, for once.
Trump feeds off the crowd energy and insults. Without those gonna be tough for him, an actual debate of substance is not his forte.
Biden should bring an air horn. When trump inevitably screams over bidens time he can be polite about it. Then when it goes back to trump boom, air horn.
These are the same jackholes who cried bloodee murder because they were required to wear a fugging mask, of course. So adjust expectations accordingly..,
Hasn't even happened yet and they're crying rigged. Lmao
This will be like watching Grumpy Old Men with zero of the comedy and horrible actors. Does no sane and normal person want to be president of these great united states?
If the MAGA crowd is upset over the debate rules, that means the debate rules are good. I've heard that mics will be cut off if a debater goes over his time limit. Sounds good to me, since I know who likes to talk over people.
Why give any press to these dolts? And the trader guy on x has THE most punchable face I've ever seen. What a fucking douchebag
who'd have thought...snowflakes got to snowball.
How is it rigged unless they figure they are going to lose
Narrative went from "Biden is afraid to debate Trump" to "rigged debate" really quick.
Of course it is rigged, it is an old man vs. a demented, hyper-manic, malignant narcissist old man. How is that fair?
MAGA bitches acting like bitches.
They know their boy will be lucky to get thru the questions without falling asleep.
This bone head is such a LOOSER! You can kiss the USA good bye if this freak gets in again.
What a joke. MAGA are the biggest idiots out there. Would they like the $700 million owning lying Fox entertainment network to do it?
They're always upset. That's all they've got.
It IS rigged, that’s how it works when Biden gets to choose terms, lol.
Obviously if he’s gonna actually use that offer, then he also has to live with being called out for it.
That said, it’s not bad. But entertainment-wise, a crowd would be nice…
Everything is rigged unless they say otherwise. Quite pathetic but this has been their continuous flawed point of attack.
They whine about everything!!!!!
How many things can MAGA claim to be rigged before they realize theyre just stupid?
MAGA also represents the failure of America’s school system. Lot of uneducated ignorant Americans!
Wasn’t trump the one asking for it, so now that they get what they asked for- it’s rigged? Okay bud why don’t you just shit your pants some more
Maga is furious at everything. Majority of them will die of strokes screaming for a manager. No one cares.
TRUMP: “Joe Biden is scared to debate me. I don’t think he will. He can’t string two sentences together!”
BIDEN: “Okay Donald! Let’s debate. I’ll even do it twice! I hear you’re free on Wednesdays.”
TRUMP: “It’s rigged! It’s all rigged!”
It’s just so pathetic how the Trumps and conservative media cry foul and consistently say everything’s “rigged” against them months before the pending event even happens. 🤦🏻♂️
These stupid assholes are more than a bit deranged and oblliterating the entire concept of what a democratic nation is. Their constant complaints and crying over nonsense are ridiculous. How does one "rig" a debate, ffs?
I think its more because of the rules he agreed to: "oh no, our guy cant spew shit over the other guy when he's trying to speak. UNFAIR! He should be able to dump verbal feces all over the place whenever he wants."
I posit: How, exactly, can anyone vote for a candidate if they haven't heard them debate about the issues at hand? The fact that they even consider "no debate" is insulting to the entire nations intelligence. Just a few years ago we still looked at debates as necessary.
The GOP are a disease, and we need a cure.
It so like the election that Trump won was rigged too. you can tell they have a lot of faith in Trump. they always accuse the other side of the criminal activity. They are doing. They are an embarrassment to our country.
Don't worry, MAGAts - your boy will bow out before the debate even starts.
Don't worry, MAGAts - your boy will bow out before the debate even starts.
He'll bow out -- he never intended to follow through with ti -- and he'll use "they don't want me to do it" as his excuse.
Not like he's never said he'd do something and then didn't do it, before.
Provided we're not talking about the list of questions, exactly how does one 'rig' a debate ???
Furthermore, Trump agreed to the terms.
