What Time Are the Events, and How Long Will They Run?
"The Trump town hall, on NBC, is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET and is expected to last *60* minutes. Mr. Biden’s forum, on ABC, also is set to begin at 8 p.m. ET. The Democratic nominee’s town hall is expected to run for *90* minutes."
I'm on the East coast, but I got a laugh about this.

My dvr says Trump will be on from 8 to 9:30 but then they say after that is to be announced.

I only pointed out that I'm on the East Coast because I was just checking out out what time it will air here, but then I noticed via the article that Biden's town hall will last 30 min longer - that's what I got a chuckle about.

Why would NBC do this on the same night. As if this country wasn’t divided enough.
It wouldn’t have killed them to run at a different time.

My satellite (Dish) is in a dispute with ABC and not running them. So Trump will probably win in t he ratings .

The only leverage the media had to force Trump to debate, was the idea that otherwise, the airtime would be given to Biden for the entire period. By giving the time to Trump, the Press is making itself irrelevant. And it’s repeating the mistake it made in 2016, which was to give Trump special treatment simply because he is a train wreck that people often feel compelled to watch.

You should all join me and watch some baseball tonight. I'll be tuning in to the Dodgers/Braves game.

Trump so far is not doing so well trying to gaslight Savannah Guthrie about the efficacy of masks, surprisingly.

From the Times Update:
Hello from the Biden debate, where we’re in a commercial break. There are absolutely no fireworks compared to what’s going on on the other channel. This may be the hour a lot of Biden supporters feel free to switch to NBC and hate-watch the president.
8:57 PM ET

Is R29 fucking serious? Biden is incredibly lucid and I think it's disgusting when people say "dementia" for either of them because I unfortunately know what dementia is like and it's awful. Neither trump nor Biden have it. One old guy asked a question of Biden -the son of a Reagan official- and Biden immediately knew who his dad was and gave a funny remark about the Irish/grudge and Rep/Dem divide.

Biden just gutted Trump's foreign policy and that Trump supporter who asked that very biased question has to stand there and listen as Trump and his failures are listed out in detail by a very sharp Biden. Let's see Trump run off a list this coherent and sharp.

People are so accustomed to the Trump circus and the low class, lying trash that he is, that Biden simply speaking in a dignified manner is considered "sleepy." That's how low we have sunk.
Jimmy Kimmel said it best: More will watch Trump than Biden because a documentary on the Bill of Rights is boring compared to watching a guy get hit in the nuts with a shovel.

There is NO reason for Joe Biden to have to answer a question about transgender issues at the second of three debates less than 3 weeks before the presidential election. I don’t blame him for the answer he gave—he’s just going along with the majority of the Democratic Party—but it’s such a non-issue for more than 99% of the population.
And the mainstream framing of it is so wrong, not supported by science, etc., and black MTFs are not murdered at higher rates than female black prostitutes. Those murders are a problem among sex workers; the trans victims are not targeted for being trans. Ugh! So sick of the distortion.
Still, GO JOE.

I always want the transgender activists to ask this at a GOP town hall.
They get upset over Biden's word choice? I think they'd have much bigger issues at a GOP event than a single, poorly chosen word.
