OFFICIAL First Biden-Trump Debate Thread, Part II

Ruth Bader Biden

People always get bored with debates and turn them off.

What they’ll get to hear on loop tomorrow is alley cat, porn star, and convicted felon.

Joe better be drinking Gatorade! C’mon Scranton Joe, give the fucker hell!

More Katie Rogers:

[quote] Biden uses his last moments before the commercial break trying to clarify something important here: Trump is repeatedly mischaracterizing his presidency and the decisions he made, from Trump’s response on the white supremacist rally iin Charlottesville to his actions on Jan. 6.

Time for the black issues….

Can we all use this thread?

OMG!

Shawn Hubler, NYT:

[quote] In Sacramento, where some 40 Democrats have gathered at a union hall for a watch party, the mood has wavered for most of the debate between mild panic and grim despair. The crowd has heckled Trump’s false claims, roaring with laughter as he mispronounced “China.” But the frailty in Biden’s voice gave most of them pause. “Have you seen Twitter?” said Nancy Van Leuven, 72, a retired professor. “The thing is, Biden looks older. And Trump is still resolute — even if he’s not telling the truth, it still looks believable. Although, come on. Abortion after the baby is born?”

Heads will roll in the West Wing tomorrow.

Biden over-rehearsed. He blew his wad before the big show. :(

Taking black and Hispanic jobs out loud. In his mind, YAY!

Joe is getting a little feisty now but it's too late. He should've hit Dump hard right out of the gate.

Why did Biden say his son died in Iraq?

Joe was over-rehearsed. He tried delivering the money shot too early.

We have the best numbers with the blacks.

Trump lost a lot of weight. Ozempic ?

Dump just lied and took credit for the $35 insulin. Call him out on this, Joe.

Whoooo!

Now tRump is a friend of the earth.

I've never noticed Jake Tapper's ginormous forehead before. And he used to look like a wrinkled sharpei dog. Botox?.

I’ve never seen anyone like this guy.

Veterans, illegals living in luxury hotels

Close your mouth Joe

This is So paindulge!

Did you fire anybody? No, I don’t run a reality show.

Chettolini gets pissed when called the worst!

Good on you Joe, you're looking at him and calling out his lies. Trump in turn, won't even look at him. Body language speaks volumes.

Party!!

More Reid Epstein:

[quote] It is telling that for all of Biden’s debate prep, he has mentioned Trump’s criminal conviction only once and bungled the brief discussion about abortion rights. He has not sought to use his time on other questions to focus attention on Trump’s role in overturning Roe v. Wade.

Human trafficking in women, he should know.

Joe is the better man, that's all voters need to realize.

You got that right, R 31.

Trump smirking, what an evil asshole.

Joe says we’re the best, tRump, we’re an embarrassment.

"Human trafficking in women, he should know."

That would have been a good Elizabeth Warren comeback: "Well, your grandfather ran brothels in Alaska...".

He can’t hit a ball 50 yards, let’s see you ride a bike asshole.

5 minutes left.

Is this shit show almost over

He indicted me? Oh really?

They don’t respect him, I should hope not!

So, based on the NYT.com front page currently (may be delayed by a bit), it sounds like so far Biden has not been that strong. Is that a fair assessment? I just got home. (Note: As of this time it says, "Biden Struggles to Fend Off Attacks From Trump. President Biden appeared tentative early on, his voice raspy and his answers sometimes wandering. But his voice grew sharper.")

Won’t answer that he will accept the results of the election. There we go folks.

He gets along very well with Russia, he just admitted it

Alan Rappeport, NYT:

[quote] As the debate neared the home stretch, the candidates weighed in on the sensitive question of age.

Biden recalls that he used to be the youngest man in politics and pivoted to discussing his accomplishments as president as evidence that he is up to the job.

Trump recalled the cognitive tests that he took as president and dared Biden to do the same.

The two candidates then talked about their physical and athletic attributes and debated who had a better golf handicap.

Trump then said, “Let’s not be children.” Biden replied, “You are a child.”

He is s hoping that his friendship with Putin makes the dictator end the war in Ukraine

That last comment from Biden about being a whiner got Trump

r44, where is that? I don't see it on the front page?

Nevermind, r44. I see that it's on the updating blog thing they have. The fornt page I quoted is a bit behind.

Trump is 100% negative ALL THE TIME.

He’s like an old dementia lady.

Biden people say he has a cold.

This man is just a complainer, hahaha!

It's amazing how many people are conned by this menace to society.

Trump: we’re living in hell. That was when he was president.

I liked that there was no audience in the room. It just gets in the way.

UGH. Just UGH. Now what?

Quit being fucking crybabies.

His voice clearly isn’t 100%. He’s making every policy point despite getting his mic shut off. He’s targeting his anger despite his stutter. He’s killing the felon on morality while the felon can’t look him in the eyes. He’s showing empathy. Vote.

NOT WATCHING-Part two

Run, Joey, Run, Joey, Run.

I've had colds before but I could still remember my name and make it down a flight of stairs.

Oh that makes since, R61. Vote down ballot for Dems and then get someone in the WH who can veto all of their legislation.

What a firm understanding you have of how our gov’t works. I’m so glad we have you handing out the intelligence tests.

*sense

I’m withdrawing my endorsement.
