the age question

T: “took two cognitive tests” “I just won two club championships” “Dr. Ronny Jackson” “I aced them”

B: notes T’s height-weight mismatch; “I am happy to play golf with you if you carry your own bag”

will you pledge that you accept the results of the election?
T: blaming Pelosi for insurrection; claims his legal troubles are because he’s running for president; “failing nation” “his military policies are insane” now blaming we are close to world war III bc of B

B: cites NATO solidarity, and cites strength of American people; cites T’s “let Putin take Kiev” cmmt

T: lots of blather abt Putin and how B is responsible somehow for that war

question asked thrice: will you accept results of the election?

T: "if it’s a fair… "
B: “you’re a whiner” “not a single court says your claims have any merit” “you’re such a whiner” “you can’t stand loss”

Even if it’s the truth, that’s going to be a very difficult spin

Yeah if Biden’s folks say “he wasn’t at his best because he had a cold” Trump’s people will come back with “Trump debated when he had COVID” (which is a heroic, superhuman act in their world) “…and you people attacked him for it!!”

I can’t believe that Trump wasn’t asked where his wall was or where his infrastructure bill was.

Final comments, closing:

B: fair tax system and no one making under $400,000 will get a tax increase; accuses T of not wanting Medicare to negotiate drug prices; childcare and credits; address the lead pipes and health issues

T: “this man is a complainer” “all he does is make this country unsafe” more immigrant bashing now “Ukraine should never have happened” “they don’t respect you” T is claiming the biggest tax cuts in history (well that part is likely true) claiming his admin has highest approval rating

45’s tax cuts were only for the .01%, everyone else had their taxes go up. That low hanging fruit that Biden didn’t counter hard enough.

@subextraordinaire: It was super painful to gave the audio on when mango asshat was speaking. :disappointed:

I missed some of it due to things going on in the house, but it really seemed like 45 was given twice the time Biden received to speak. Not sure if that’s accurate or just the effect of the firehose of lies, projection and incoherent gish-galloping dropping out of the convicted felon’s mouth.

I listened some in the car and a little at home after getting food. I really couldn’t stomach much of it.

Biden was pretty med-low energy with some stumbling, but spitting facts and figures. Telling actual accomplishments.

Trump just loudly repeating lies; just making stuff up. “I was the best at this, I was the best at that.” And predicting additional doom if Biden is re-elected.

I just hope no low information voters get swayed to Trump just because he was the louder one. The freeze frames where Biden seem to be zoning out probably won’t look good for tomorrows memes. :confused:

What a shit show. I still say the DNC should have collaborated to come up with a new horse that Biden would have but his weight behind, but it’s too late to do that now. So all I can do is vote and hope for the best.

… people are still pissed about the inflation that already happened — it was on Biden’s watch, it’s cumulative, that’s how inflation works

It’s not going away because we don’t like it :roll_eyes:
