She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge.

Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.

    You don’t know that for sure, I bet he’s paid good money to be dominated even harder

      Being dominated in a consensual way, takes a sort of self awareness and acceptance of your own weaknesses.

      Trump lacks any self awareness, and has likely never been part of consensual domination.

        You know she watched the debate. And got more pleasure from that than anything he ever did, second only to getting a hush money check from him.

          I just get stuck on the interview I saw with her where she said she only accepted the payment so that there would be a paper trail that would make it harder to have her killed. She was legitimately afraid that she was going to get murdered on his orders if she didn’t have some kind of collateral or receipts.

            OMG well that kills my dumb little joke then. I’m not deleting it, so hopefully other people who didn’t know about this will find your reply.

            I’m not sure if it’s more awful because it’s innately horrible or because it’s that fn believable.
