First Presidential Election Debate is tonight.

Bobby Swisha · 09-29-2020, 06:16 PM

Yea, I guess this is a discussion thread for it, if y'all want that.

Bravoie · 09-29-2020, 10:04 PM

Listen, here's the deal, jack. I need a break every 30 mins to collect my thoughts, they will be scattered all over the stage

Old Rivers · 09-29-2020, 10:06 PM

I really can't work up any interest in the Trump-Biden debates. I'll probably watch a little but I expect I'll turn it off out of boredom pretty quickly.

Anthropophagus · 09-29-2020, 10:13 PM

Anyone know how to watch if you don't have tv/cable, just internet and streaming services?

Old Rivers · 09-29-2020, 10:38 PM

Looks like you can watch it live on youtube:

Bobby Swisha · 09-30-2020, 12:00 AM

Starts in an hour.

Mr Mong · 09-30-2020, 12:51 AM

Lol @ Trump saying "Look, I was the one who brought back Football!" during coronavirus discussion.

Old Rivers · 09-30-2020, 03:07 AM

Well, that was boring...

Mr Mong · 09-30-2020, 04:14 AM

That was borderline elder abuse.

Bobby Swisha · 09-30-2020, 04:32 AM

It was alright.

The two parts that made me laugh are (not funny out of context so spoiler) "Let me shut you down Joe for a second" and Trump telling Joe Biden that Antifa was about to overthrow him.

Trump didnt bring up Hunter Biden until Biden started trying to do the switcheroo and act like Trump was talking about his other son who got a medal ... that was super dumb of Biden to do.

On the other hand Chris Wallace actually threw Biden a difficult question that he was stumbling on and Trump interrupted, looked like an ass, and took the attention away from what would have been a huge flop on Biden's part. Dumb.

Biden's whole schpiel about Charlottesville ..
1) I've already heard him give it before
2) it was bad then, but now it really didn't have bite after all these BLM/Antifa riots, not to mention a BLM protester running over Trump supporters in the parking lot just a few days prior

I guess we have to endure another few months of the media sperging out in overdrive and creating false narratives to desperately cover for the liberal aligned global cabal again.
That hispanic kenosha kid is a white supremacist kkk member now. How tiring.

Mr Mong · 09-30-2020, 05:40 PM

Also they are sperging out about the proudboys which is a tiny drinking group of civnats local to portland with black and hispanic members and leaders.
Its all so tiresome.

Oh of course their wikipedia was changed to say they are 'neo fascist' citing opinion pieces and an onion article.

Bobby Swisha · 09-30-2020, 06:17 PM

What I really didn’t like about this debate is how disrespectful Biden (and Chris Wallace) were to Trump despite him being a sitting president.

I don’t remember Mitt Romney treating Barack Obama this way (calling him a clown, racist, etc) or John Kerry treating George W Bush like that.

It’s an accepted norm that a sitting president is respected as such, and Biden did not do that, and I find that to be quite shameful for our country. If he can’t show proper respect to the person that THE PEOPLE elected, how does he except those same voters to respect him? This also automatically sets a bad precedent for all future debates, so great job Biden.

Also Chris Wallace cut Trump off when he was making decent points way too many times. A few of the times it was justified to cut Trump off. But other times I feel like he should have let him speak. Again this goes back to Trump being the sitting President, and me actually wanting to hear his point out. This 1.5 hour debate format is awful.

Bobby Swisha · 09-30-2020, 06:19 PM

Overall the format of these debates is bad and outdated. You can’t get through all these issues in just an hour and a half. Why is the debate so damn short? It should be three hours at least in my opinion.

I was rolling my eyes at Joe Rogan moderating these before but after seeing Chris Wallace I have to admit that a six-hour Joe Rogan podcast debate would have been far better.

Also Biden looked like he possibly had more energy last night, but he also kind of looked like he was on drugs (did anybody else think so? He had a weird glossed over look.) Trump has been working for the past four ears, so it makes sense he’s a bit more tired; Biden has mainly been sitting on his ass or driving around in his Corvette.

Bobby Swisha · 09-30-2020, 06:25 PM

Trump has had a lot of achievements in the past three years and he failed to bring up a single one. He also failed to properly call Biden out on his hypocrisy using concrete examples a few times. Missed opportunities.

Bobby Swisha · 09-30-2020, 08:12 PM

Both Biden and Trump are idiots for failing to utilize the pothead vote by promising full pot legalization. I'm convinced this could flip a few states by itself, but they're not doing it. Why? Probably pharma company campaign donations.

I'm sure the desire to see marijuana legalized now is much greater than the desire of people to see it kept illegal. What gives with these morons?

Mr Mong · 10-01-2020, 06:40 PM

Whole bunch of articles about cancelling the debates entirely now. Its afraid.

Bobby Swisha · 10-01-2020, 09:02 PM

They're introducing a mic mute button for the next debate. Somehow I doubt this will end up helping Biden.

Old Rivers · 10-01-2020, 09:53 PM

Thank God.

Also congrats on 44,444!

Evan · 10-02-2020, 03:10 AM

I didn't watch this debate, because it doesn't matter.
If trump wins, expect low-income and black people to go crazy, and watch more riots happen.
if biden wins. I expect the very same shit to happen anyway, just more muted.
A vote for Biden is a return to the status quo.
A vote for Trump, is a continuation of a "tearing off the bandages" and rubbing dirt in the wound. Either it heals or you get gangrene and lose a limb.. or maybe die.
The good thing about political/social/goverment systems is that they can regrow.
I think Biden sets everything back.
and I think a continuation of trump, is a scary step into the unknown.

Bobby Swisha · 10-02-2020, 03:15 AM

Welp ... Trump's officially in quarantine.

Trump condemns Proud Boys and all white supremacists

First interview since debate, Trump talks debates, supreme court, court packing, Hope Hicks testing positive and him and Melania possibly quarantining.
