@lemmy.worldI think his bark is worse than his bite but don't worry - the logcatcher will probably catch him soon.
One of the problems with this is that the debate rules are not enforced. If you go back and watch Trump in previous debates he continually ignores the time limits and talks over the moderator when told his time is up. Microphones for both participants should automatically shut off when the speaker's time is up.
Also, obvious, outright lies should earn a microphone cutoff although this would be dependent on a moderator that would be acceptable to both debaters. I can't see Trump ever agreeing to live fact checking during a debate.
Additionally, Trump appears to be even less mentally capable than he was in the previous debates - I do not believe it would end well for him.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudis pay his bills. Especially if they think that by helping out he might be able to win the election. In fact, owning the president of the US for only 500m USD seems like it could be worth it to many nefarious characters. The Saudis didn't seem to have a problem doing a billion dollar deal with his son in law.
I saw them in December 1978 - it was about 2 months after their debut on SNL with Satisfaction and still before their second album (Duty Now for the Future). I was 17. I still see lots of shows and that Devo show still stands out as one of the best performances of any band I have ever seen. It was loud, raucous, and visually completely over the top. They were completely original and so far ahead of their time as artists. They showed early Devo films on a screen behind them while they played. Nobody was doing multimedia shows like this back then and even now I can't think of any show that has ever been better in terms of a multimedia experience. Years later I found an audio recording from that show on the Internet. The recording is fair quality but even now when I listen to it, it confirms just how great they were.
Notice, however, that they did not sing the most important lyrics - Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!
