    It’s hilarious how much the Trump campaign and right wing media are panicking about this debate. They’re doing everything in their power to preemptively craft narratives to justify his poor performance. Hell, last week Trump was saying he planned to lose “on purpose.” Clown behavior.

      Thank you for making the joke first so I can pretend I didn’t come to this post to make it. I’m just here for important political conversations, yup.

    Right wing media has been doing such a bang up job attacking Biden’s heath and mental fitness, that all he has to do is:

    Show up

    State full name

    What day and time

    Say "Person, woman, man, camera, TV,”and boom. Debate won. The bar is so fucking low, Vern Troyer could step over it with ease. (RIP Vern. I miss you man)

      God, all Biden has to do is mention sharks and trump will talk about how he’d prefer to be electrocuted.

        Trump: “If I’m reelected we won’t stop at nuking the hurricanes - we’re gonna nuke the sharks too and make Jason Momoa pay for it!”

        Army of red-hatted morons: “NUKE THE SHARKS! NUKE THE SHARKS! NUKE THE SHARKS!”

    Lol, like Trump will show up to a debate. Plus, I doubt his handlers will let him because of the dementia.

      I’ve been waiting for a cancelation since it was announced. Trump agreed to mic muting? lol, okay, sure he did… I’ll believe it when I see it

      Hell just blame it on his candidacy and/ or court schedules.

        My election interference case, where I fucked a porn star while my wife was recovering from child birth, makes it impossible for me to go to the rigged debate on failing CNN. – Trump, probably

          Not a chance… he’s never included that much information in so few words.

      Followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

    It’s pretty obvious to anyone paying attention, all the video of Joe looking lost these last couple weeks is a professional political rope a dope, problem is Trump’s team knows it too

      Ahh yes - the political strategy of taking one on the chin with voter confidence, by staring into space and becoming a viral meme, so your opponent thinks you’re slow, and lowers their guard during the debates, that the persuadable independent voters totally ignore.

      Bullet proof strategy. I’m fired up!

        Are we talking the cropped videos to give the impression Joe was lost, or actual legit video? I know at least Fox was using the cropped version of him interacting with a soldier that had just landed, and was packing their parachute, to make him look like he was lost and staring off in the opposite direction of everyone else in frame.

    I saw a Hannity clip where he’s now moved from “Joe Biden was on coke during the SOTU speech” to “maybe it was a caffeine pill”. These nut jobs are getting their pants twisted over a completely imaginary scenario where the president takes caffeine…
