Let's watch the big presidential debate.

I don't know if I'll comment. It's a bit late for me. Maybe I'll have to comment tomorrow. But I wanted to put up a place for you to talk about the debate.

ADDED: My son John is live-blogging at Facebook, here.

AND: After the debate, the commentators on CNN seem to all be on the same page proclaiming that Biden was dismal and that Democrats are panicking and planning to figure out how to replace Biden. I didn’t think Biden was that bad. I thought it was bad, but not that bad. So it seems to me that the commentators and the Democrats — these panicking Democrats — were ready to go with this attack. This seems completely phony and planned to me.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

rumors are flying that CNN is not allowing any witnesses or press as witnesses?

Also a 2 minute delay?

in the tank for Husk-puppet much? So Soviet.

Vance said...

Gotta admit, it's darkly humerous that Chuck and Rich and the rest's great hopes lie with a man whom even the candidate with the brain eating worm is more coherent than.

Mason G said...

"Let's watch the big presidential debate."

Let's not. Enough people will, however, and anything worth hearing about will be commented on.

How long ago did CNN provide the debate questions to Biden's team? A week? Two weeks?

Original Mike said...

I'm still debating whether I'm watching the debate. I usually find these things painful.

traditionalguy said...

How about that VP naming? The wife says the Pundits are now saying it should wait for the convention . But why waste time. No need to barter convention support. It’s a done deal.

Come on. Do it now and give Vance more speech giving time. Theirs only 4 months left.

Original Mike said...

"How long ago did CNN provide the debate questions to Biden's team?"

Biden's team provided the questions to CNN.

John henry said...

Now with the 2 minute delay AND no press witnesses?

I sure hope Team Trump is filming it so we can see any shenanigans.

Kusoa to pedjt for taking the bait and walking into the lion's den. I think he is going to show that he can take their absolute worst and still turn it into lemonade.

This kabuki was never meant to happen. I won't be terribly surprised if it still doesn't. But if it doesn't, it won't be because of pedjt

Leaked transcript from the debate:

"President Biden, what is your favorite color?"

"Blue, Jake, just like the blue on Old Glory."


"Prisoner 58008, what is the capital of Assyria?"

"Arrgh!"

pious agnostic said...

Hasn't CNN denied that there is to be a 2-minute delay?

Shouldn't it be easy to confirm? Either it starts at 9:00, or it starts at 9:02.

Leslie Graves said...

I'm trying to figure out why all the photos of Trump on the front digital page of the NYT right now are flattering.

Chuck said...

I know very well what a limb I am going out on here, but I still say that the way for Biden to open the debate is by reading Trump a kind of a Miranda warning. Mr. Trump, I understand that you are presumed innocent in your several criminal cases. All of us as Americans cherish the presumption of innocence, and you are entitled to it like any other American... And as much as you and your supporters might like to think that I am leading the efforts to prosecute you, I have no role in those prosecutions. But what I can tell you is that you have the absolute right to remain silent and not say anything about your criminal charges. But as procedurally sound as that may be in a criminal prosecution, it is a disaster in an electoral campaign. You should be answering all of the public's questions about these cases. You lawyers might not want you to do that. Voters expect you to do that. They have legitimate questions. Did you declassify the documents at Mar-a-Lago? Were those documents classified, before you declassified them? Did you tell Walt Nauta to move boxes of classified documents after the FBI/DoJ/and or the National Archives asked you to return them? Did you know about the felony-charged elector schemes in Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia? What exactly did you know? Again I say to you; be very careful how you answer. You do have the right, under criminal procedural law, to remain silent. Voters will decide apart from the criminal law.

As a far left democratical, you should be pleased.

Here we go with the Trump lying; abortions "after birth." Trump should not be able to get off the stage with that howlingly bad lie intact.

Trump's facial expressions are perfect for the situation.

Biden not so much.

Paul (to Chuck): "Called partial birth abortions.. some were killed AFTER they were born. Documented."

Of course they are documented. Chuck knows that. You just have to understand that what you call "partial birth abortions" where the children that survive the procedure are left to die, alone, on a table somewhere, Chuck likely simply calls "good clean fun".

Chuck said...

Trump should be eviscerated on this between now and election day. Claiming that Roe v Wade allowed/allows "abortions after birth."

Limited blogger said...

did Trump just call him Brandon?

Freeman Hunt said...

This is a disaster for Biden.

YoungHegelian said...

I think the "no interruption" rule, enforced by the mic cutoff, are actually working to Trump's advantage. It makes him speak in non-stream of consciousness declarative sentences, with no interruptions, and ends of making him look more "presidential".

i think Biden's handlers rehearsed him too much, and they exhausted his voice. It's like he's got laryngitis.

Do it. Document it. Tell us about elective, non-medically-necessitated abortions "after birth."

Tell us where it is happening in states where abortion rights have been protected.

Poor Chuck. Its so unfortunate for him that Ralph Northam's quote is there for all to see.

Perhaps Chuck should increase his anger level to mirror biden's drugged up level to try and bluster his way through his "kill the kid at anytime" position.

@Chuck,

Tell us where it is happening in states where abortion rights have been protected.

Here ya go:

[Third trimester abortions are] done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that’s nonviable. So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen,” Northam, a pediatric neurosurgeon, told Washington radio station WTOP. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

LLR-democratical And Violent Homosexual Rage Rape Fantasist Chuck: "President Bone Spurs goes all military."

LOL

On the same stage with 5 deferment Biden! Whose son, Beau, died in "combat" in Iraq, and Syria, and Afghanistan, and at Pearl Harbor, and at Normandy, and then, was eaten alive by cannibals along with biden's uncle in the Pacific!

And now would be a good time to remind everyone just how passionately and emotionally Chuckle's literally defended the Stolen Valor multi-year lies by Senator Dick Da Nang Blumenthal!! Not even a mama bear defends her cubs with the passion Chuck showed for Stolen Valor Blumenthal!

But that's not all!

Chuck also went to bat, hard, for Dick Durban when he called US Troops Nazi's!!

Oh, Chuck was in his element in defending those democraticals and more!

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...

“The restrictive format is playing to Trump's advantage”

Jesus, Trump came to play. The astonishing difference in verbiage delivered.

It’s an interesting tactic. Say so much, Biden can’t even begin to respond to all the charges.

planetgeo said...

The single most devastating thing about this event is just the picture and sound of Joe Biden. Mouth agape. The vacant stare. The slow motion movements. The barely audible husky voice. Good Lord, everyone who's visited their parents in a rest home recognizes it.

That side-by-side picture as each talks is the killer shot that simply can't and won't be forgotten.

Jamie said...

I have been trying to hold my eyes open for as long as Biden is. It is a challenge.

YoungHegelian said...

@Chuck,

Ralph Northam isn't even the governor of Virginia anymore.

So what, Chuck? He was a fucking pediatric neurologist and he knew of what he spoke. That was the reality of life (and death) in the delivery room in even a Southern state like Virginia under Roe v Wade!

Freeman Hunt said...

The side-by-side is a destined meme template.

Drago said...

LLR-democratical And Violent Homosexual Rage Rape Fantasist Chuck: "General Kelly has to come out tonight ans confirm that Trump said, "suckers and losers."'

LOL

Trump did no such thing.

Kelley isn't the only General that was turned by the deep staters and embarrassed himself. To Kelley's partial credit, he held out as long as he could probably, given that ALL other witnesses and those present said it was complete and utter BS, but in the end, even he gave it up.

And knowing as many Marines as I do, the disappointment among the combat arms ranks was palpable.

Limited blogger said...

Trump smiles, winks, purses his lips!

This is f**king great!

Gerda Sprinchorn said...

I was wrong.

I thought Biden would be ok in the debate the way he was fine in the State of the Union Address and the way he was fine in the 2020 debates. I thought the clips of him being feeble were cherry-picked and so exaggerated the situation.

But this is sad. No, its cruel. Biden is a human being and this is cruel.

And Trump is such a buffoon with all the hyperbole.

The Dems have to pull Biden. How can you vote for the Biden we see today? How can he sit behind the desk in the oval office?

Greg the Class Traitor said...

Chuck said...
Trump should be eviscerated on this between now and election day. Claiming that Roe v Wade allowed/allows "abortions after birth."

The Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which every single Democrat in the Senate voted against, was about blocking abortionists from killing babies that made it out alive despite all teh abortionist did.

Your'e a sick fuck, Chuck, and a complete lying sack of shit. Why are you doing it with lies that are obvious?

Drago said...

Quick fun aside: what's the over/under on how many pitchers of gin and tonics will Chuck be slamming tonight?

I'll put it 4. That seems like a safe number.

"Do it. Document it. Tell us about elective, non-medically-necessitated abortions "after birth."

Just google "partial birth infanticide".. "live birth", that is after the baby has left the mother's body, and then killed, are well documented. I don't care what happens in your abortion friendly states.

https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1033&context=wlufac

Yes they kill the baby after it is born (inadvertently as they meant to kill it before it was born.) It is called INFANTCIDE.

Jamie said...

Finally, the chance to refute the "pull out of NATO" thing.

Drago said...

Greg: "Your'e a sick fuck, Chuck, and a complete lying sack of shit. Why are you doing it with lies that are obvious?"

Greg, in all seriousness, I think we need to start embracing the likely reality that LLR-democratical And Violent Homosexual Rage Rape Fantasist Chuck derives a great deal of pleasure from simply the thought of what happens to these unfortunate children that are deemed non-human by Chuck and his psycho sicko pals.

Drago said...

LOL!

Biden claiming he's trying to avoid a "major war in Europe"! We ONLY have major wars in Europe when the democraticals are puttering about with their color revolutions by the "best and brightest".

Jamie said...

"Patriot" is now officially a dog whistle.

FullMoon said...

@Chuck,

Tell us where it is happening in states where abortion rights have been protected.
Kermit Barron Gosnell is an American serial killer and former abortion doctor. He provided illegal late-term abortions at his clinic in West Philadelphia. Gosnell was convicted of the murders of three infants who were born alive after using drugs to induce labor, the manslaughter of one woman during an abortion procedure, and of several other abortion- and drug-related crimes.

Snopes: "Editors' Note: Some readers have raised the objection that this fact check appears to assume Trump was correct in stating that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the Charlottesville incident. That is not the case. This fact check aimed to confirm what Trump actually said, not whether what he said was true or false. For the record, virtually every source that covered the Unite the Right debacle concluded that it was conceived of, led by and attended by white supremacists, and that therefore Trump's characterization was wrong."

Potty break - I hope Trump continues in this general vein, although he could do better to stay away from the extremes (such as "abortion after birth" even though Northam's comments are a clear problem for the "no holds barred" states, and the violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants when he could hit the effects of illegal immigration on wages to greater effect).

But whoa. Biden looks awful.

YoungHegelian said...

The question about the state of black Americans asked at 9:55 EDT to Biden and his response makes it pretty clear that CNN gave the Biden campaign the questions in advance. Biden wouldn't reel that answer off unless he knew it was coming.

The lying liar left still running on Charlottesville. LOL. Losers.

Liars

I'm liking Trump's latest hair style. A little shorter.

They are stuck on mirror mirror on the wall who’s the worst president of all.

The fact that Biden is the President of the United States of America is a pretty scary thought.

He is living in the past, unsure of today, and has no idea there is a future.

While Chuck is overcome with grief, Rich is feeling happy..

Rich said...
My wife once asked me when did I feel happiest? Upon consideration, I responded when I wept... It was when I felt much alive.

I was wrong.

I thought Biden would be ok in the debate . . . .

But this is sad. No, its cruel. Biden is a human being and this is cruel.


I went to a debate watch event tonight (hubby was the organizer)and only intended to stay for 1/2 hour. But I had to walk out at the 20 minute mark - it was like watching a horror movie - and I HATE horror movies (forever scarred by "Psycho" as a teen). It WAS cruel - forcing a man who is likely suffering from Parkinson's disease to memorize 2 minute speeches, but unable to rebut or respond - just kept to the memorized talking points, slurred speech and totally garbled what Roe V Wade. Jill Biden should suffer for this - because no loving wife would ever, ever subject her husband to this.

Either one of them could be declared the Winner just by actually answering the freakin' question that was asked - instead of just insulting their opponent.

That is true.

I mean, what can we expect?

What's going to happen tomorrow? My bet is that Trump will be campaigning, and Biden will be resting up. The difference in energy is palpable.

Are we going to put those fentanyl "machines" at all the Eagle Passes along the border? I don't understand.

The rule of Lemnity said...

Trump saying he’ll do things before he takes office is probably illegal. But it might be advantageous to put in the minds of listeners the idea that he’s going to be president.

Rory said...

I really hope that Trump asks if you're better off than four years ago.

A golf match!

That would be can't miss TV.

Original Mike said...

Fat!

Limited blogger said...

It's over

Jamie said...

Biden just got a nice attempt at an insult in.

And now the golf stuff.

Are we done?

The rule of Lemnity said...

Biden can’t face Trump when Trump is talking about him.

The Vault Dweller said...

I wasn't really paying attention and had it on as I was doing some dishes. My main take away is that Biden sounds so old, tired, and feeble. In comparison Trump seem so energetic. I will say Biden doesn't sound as confused as I expected. He still looks confused and out of sorts just not as badly as I expected.

The rule of Lemnity said...

The idea.

Jamie said...

Ok, one thing Trump has not done is to allude to the puppet masters actually running this administration. Even though I think such people are in charge, I'm glad Trump has pretended that the guy at the other podium is the Chief Executive.

Joe's 8-handicap is probably in miniature golf. Man, I'd love to see him ace the windmill hole. Or best of all, the volcano last hole.

Aggie said...

Ugh. I hope Junior' is included in the next debate, if there is one, and whether Biden is there or A. Nother.

wishfulthinking said...

Has the fat lady sang yet?

Wait...
Are we allowed to say that?

Inga said...

Whiner!

Joe Smith said...

The golf thing is lame, and I say that as an 8hcp.

That said, Trump would hit it pretty far.

I don't know that Joe could make contact.

As for carrying clubs, really?

Joe has to take the 'Big Boy' stairs on AF1 now because he kept falling down the usual ones.

He might be able walk 18 (not really) but it would take him 7 or 8 hours.

Debate results:

Winner - President Trump

T2 - CNN
T2 - Biden

The rule of Lemnity said...

Keeping the debate going is tantamount to elderly abuse.

Original Mike said...

Biden: Trump is a whiner, a child, and fat.
Trump: Did he insult Biden? I don't remember any insults.

Inga said...

Woof woof, that magical dog!
