Since there's no campaign logo / disclaimer on that sign, my best guess is that it's an unaffiliated rando that did their own signage and hosed it up by google translating. Sort of like a nearby church-ish looking place that had clearly-AI patriotic trump over a tank and poo poo. Donnie's campaign have enough spanish-speaking supporters that they could get actual translation, or even pay a company for it.

I don't think the creator would be one of those people that you'd like to talk to in random, polite conversation.

Latin nerds are debating whether “opera” effectively communicates the author’s intent. It’s complicated.

They’re also joking that the machine may have spit out “Vota pro Pedito!” but that it was manually corrected.

I'm far from an expert but basically,
Roman titles were commonly *Title, Name, place they're from or were appointed to*

So this roughly translates to "Greetings! True to Obama of Africa, and his successor, Joseph of Scotland. Never the usurper, Orange Littlehands."

Joseph of Ireland, but yes you got it. Also it's an FNV reference

The more correct Latin for tiny hands is maniculus but that can also refer in a positive manner to a small squad of soldiers so I just rammed two words from a google translate answer together as an alternative.

So what are the main goals/expected takeaways/things to look for from this Debate? Is there anything which might swing the needle/momentum other than the given "Kamala speaks in an intelligent, controlled fashion about policy while Donnie releases verbal diarrhea all over the stage for two hours"?

Kamala can't possibly dickstep hard enough to come out looking worse than him, can she?

Won't stop the media from trying to frame it this way and that can end up making more of a difference than what the candidates actually said. If you gave a time traveler from 2012 a transcript of the 2024 Biden-Trump debate with no added context, Biden is not the one they would point to as infirm and addled.

The media have never graded Trump on the same scale as his opponents. Never.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/08/us/politics/trump-and-harris-times-siena-poll.html

Dumbshit framing of the story aside, the solid takeaway is that the (dumbshit) Voters that could decide the election still think they want to know more about Kamala, while they've heard enough about Trump. So it will likely be both Kamala and Donnie trying to define Kamala. That's basically the target for the whole thing, very little of the debate content will actually be about Donnie, unless he fucks up and rambles about "black jobs" or whatever.

It doesn't even really matter who wins/loses, as it's all about the Voters that don't know about Kamala because they're just now tuning in.

I love nerds calling other people nerds, because it's always funny. Like those Secret Service guys who called the Trump shooter a 'loving nerd' with a backpack 'fulla Magic cards'...who then started nerding out about MTG.

When I worked in a comic store, my favorite arguments/debates were the ones that ended with some pit calling a kettle a "loving nerd".
