That is hardly a convincing refutation of the original premise by Snopes.

Whether it is actually true or not, we'll never know as the people involved, the only ones who actually know, will be marinated in sheep poop before they confirm it.

Is it plausible? Of course. Plausible deniability? Don't leave home without it!

I just love how nothing can be trusted any more. Where is real journalism these days?

For a while, the Internet was a good information source. But now, there is as much disinformation, satire (which I hate), plus out and out lies, as there is truthful information. Too many people think that if they read it, it is true.

Yep.

Most of what one reads on the Internet is bull anyway, which makes it tricky.

I take some solace from Mark Twain. “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”

If he really said that!

I love satire. This wasn't it.

OTOH, in this day of technological wonders, it might not be so implausible to get real scoops from fake newspapers.

Hardly surprising. If you don't care enough to cheat, you don't care enough to win!

Has then been substantiated or verified by anyone? I'm just not familiar with that publication and am not sure how credible this story is. However, I would not be surprised if it happened.

Things are bizarre enough without promoting false claims.

For one thing, no reporter was named. A story this hot, and thoroughly reported, would require a by line.

Maybe.....

I misunderstood what he read.

AFAIK, there is no way to delete something once posted, so I edited it out to spare consternation to all concerned.

Never mind.

She has done it so much that it doesn't set off any of the normal tells. 2nd, she wore an earpiece. Most of her lies didn't even come from her own mind. She was just regurgitating what her handlers told her to say. It's bad enough to be a pathological liar, it's even worse to pay people to help you come up the the lies.

I didn't watch the show, but I have seen a photo of her with the earpiece. In the photo, she is wearing a different necklace, earrings, and perhaps a different red Chairman Mao suit.

What made you think she was wearing an earpiece?

I did not watch it. I had band practice for one thing, but wouldn't watch it if at home anyway, for the same reason I never watched American Idol or Survivor type shows.

For another, nothing that either might say or do is going to change my vote, even if Trump had mooned the world on live TV. I presume he didn't.

I've told my favorite wife that if I don't make it to the election, to make sure the Commies formerly known as Democrats don't sneak an absentee ballot for the Bitch of Benghazi in my name!

Here is an interesting take on the "debate" from Scott Adams (Dilbert):

Trump and Clinton debated each other for the first time last night. Here’s how I score the night.

Clinton won on points. She had more command of the details and the cleaner answers. Trump did a lot of interrupting and he was defensive. If this were a college debate competition, Clinton would be declared the winner. I call that victory on the 2D chess board. But voters don’t care about facts and debating style. They care about how they feel. So let’s talk about that.

Was there a revival of "American Idol" or something on last night?

This is ridiculous, to base an impression of a candidate's fitness for office based in these TV "reality" wannabe shows. No President "faithfully executes the office by these kinds of foolish antics. These shows attract eyeballs the same as NASCAR events, hoping for a huge crash, fire and smoke, like President Ford's gaffe on Poland, a meltdown where someone starts ripping their notes and screaming "What difference at this point does it make?"

It's been true since the dawn of the TV age..... turn on a camera, and people start acting like Jerry Lewis's spastic.
