The Transcript is Out
For those who DVR’ed the Great Debate last night, but can’t bring themselves to watch it again (like me), do I have some good news for you: ABC just provided a transcript of the entire 90-minute exchange between, TFG, Comma-La and the ABC moderators.
I saw the whole thing at a watch party at The Salon from start to finish, but some key exchanges got by me. Like when Alfredo at the Dairy Queen stood up in front of everyone wildly gesticulating about what TFG had just said.
“Put out? Did he just say that Kamala put out?”
Everyone looked at him like he’d just eaten a cat.
But now we know that what Alfredo says he heard was what was actually said:
“FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don’t know. I don’t know. All I can say is I read where she was not Black, that she put out. And, I’ll say that. And then I read that she was black. And that’s okay. Either one was okay with me. That’s up to her. That’s up to her.”
Oh. My. God.
What did TFG mean by that? Because anyone who was alive before 1980 knows what it means for a female to “put out.”
If a woman “puts out” in geezer-speak, it means she is of loose morals.
It means she is “easy”. Oh, sorry, by “easy” I mean, she requires little persuasion to engage in sex.
That’s what he said. And that’s what Alfredo heard – and no one else. Until now.
People tend to dismiss what TFG says off the cuff, and when caught, Donald often dredges up the tired old school playground retort: “I was being sarcastic.” But what else could he have meant?
On another but related subject, you can commemorate your survival of 90 minutes of lies, obfuscation, and incipient dementia by going here to get your pair of Trump Debating Socks.
They’re only $18 a pop. For only $15.99 more you can buy a tiny comb to brush his golden locks with. It’s found nowhere on the website, but it’s like the In-N-Out Secret Menu – if you know, you know.
But there is no truth to the rumor that if you buy all of TFG’s Digital Trading Cards at the scandalously low price of $99 he may send you a square inch cut out of one of these socks that he was secretly wearing on his own bare feet at the debate last night.
He may not be much of a debater, but man, that guy could sell a ketchup Popsicle to a lady wearing white gloves in the middle of August.
I heard it. So did most of the women I know who watched. Unbelievable, but then again, it’s the misogynist extraordinaire.
1Today’s New Yorker magazine cover is priceless, entitled Childless Cat Lady Inexplicably Enjoying Life. I’m sure it has nothing to do with current politics:

And for inappropriate phrasing, Leon Melon replied to Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris by saying “I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life”. Of course he surely meant he would give her one of his herd of ignored spawn. Or maybe not ….
2Fake Noize claims the biggesat lewzer was ABC news for allowing Harris to spout serial lie after serial lie and never fact checked her while they fact checked everything drumpf said.
3I heard him say that and I wondered why they didn’t cry foul or say something. I was proud of Madam Vice President for making him bend to her taunts and allowing his to roll off like water.
4I heard it, but knowing that he can’t string words together logically under good circumstances, I sort of assumed he meant something like “she left that out of her self-description”, which is of course way too complex for his little pea brain to handle, so he just phrased it as “she put out”.
Alternatively, of course, he could have lost the thread of “she was Black” somewhere in the morass of gibberish in his soup brain that makes him think she got where she is by sleeping with the right people, and then he just happened to paddle his little canoe back to his purported topic of her race. You know–that “weaving” thing the English professors think is so incredible!
5Fenway Fran is correct – every woman on the planet heard that one. He seriously believes that she slept her way to the top…while hiding her racial identity.
You. Cannot. Make. This. Stuff. Up.
6Good catch, I missed that one.
7I don’t want to defend tfg but I think he meant that she had “put out” a statement that he had read, claiming that she was not black. I honestly do not think he meant that term as a sexual reference but I am often accused of putting the best face on an incident where others see something else.
8I (and others in the non-MAGA world on the internet) simply heard it in the sense that one “puts out “. Trump’s (ridiculous) argument has been that Harris “put out” one story about her racial identity in the past and is putting out a different story now. Trump doesn’t do subtlety — if he wanted to impugn Kamala’s morals in this particular moment in the debate, he would have done so explicitly, shouting it out like he did about Haitians eating dogs/cats.
One question I wish a moderator would have asked: If Trump built America up into such a tower of power – and supposedly a robust power – how did it so quickly fall to pieces days after Trump left office? (I wouldn’t expect a sensible answer, of course, but maybe it would plant some seeds of doubt in his followers’ brains.)
9Oops – accidentally used angle brackets in the previous comment! Let me put in different brackets:
I simply heard it in the sense that one “puts out [information]”.
10Fran Fenway @ 1,
Agree with you Fran. He said it. TFG is a vile, perverted, @$$hole who was watched by millions as he said it.
Interesting how nothing is said about men who “Put Out”. Why is it almost always that women are the only ones accused of “Putting Out”? This can’t be a phenomena limited just to women.
11This not NSFW, but I found the small hands and well, the dinky you know, amusing.

12Papa @12: an earlier discussion here focused on guns and ammo. Back when I was young (in the previous century), the greatest targets for plinking were coke bottles. They shattered and exploded in a satisfying way.
But if I still had a rifle and enjoyed shooting, those troll dolls would replace bottles as my favorite. Even without a touch of tannerite inside them.
Fortunately I’m no longer armed up. I agree heartily with the Confederate soldier at the stacking-of-arms ceremony after Appomatox: “Good-bye, gun. I’m darned glad to get rid of you.”
