LOL! I'll take another one. Prost, Bob!

From Twitter: "This isn't a debate. It's a DDOS attack happening in front of a human moderator."

It sounds like Trump gets to claim a tax deduction each time he interrupts.

shemp · 29th September 2020, 06:35 PM

We wouldn't be here if Joe had just run in 2016 like he should have. But of course, it was "her turn."

That's actually not a joke. There are plenty of studies that say a certain percentage of voters are attracted to the authoritarian "strict father" personality because they think he's strong enough tol protect them.

shemp · 29th September 2020, 06:37 PM

Joe, will you just ******* raise your voice and look at him instead of looking down!?

Upchurch · 29th September 2020, 06:37 PM

Trump fixed the broken military, huh?

I wonder how the troops feel about being described as broken?

Venom · 29th September 2020, 06:40 PM

I wish Biden was a few years younger and laid the smackdown on Trump's lying ass.

I'm a little concerned about the trip ups Biden is doing that a lot.

Bob001 · 29th September 2020, 06:42 PM

Well, he's looking at the moderator and speaking to the camera, which is how he reaches the TV audience.

Bob001 · 29th September 2020, 06:44 PM

Oh, now Trump's saying Hunter took 3 million bucks from Russia.

Childlike Empress · 29th September 2020, 06:44 PM

It's a massacre.

Oh, "Ukraine"! Prost!

Hard not to trip up when a baboon is screaming just to his right every two seconds

Minoosh · 29th September 2020, 06:44 PM

xjx388 · 29th September 2020, 06:45 PM

Biden needs to be more assertive. He’s coming off weak. He needs a zinger...

He's trying to be reasonable. That doesn't work with Trump, but I don't know if it makes him look weak. Biden's called Trump a clown several times and told him to shut up, but it doesn't sink in.

What counts as a zinger?:

"oh just shut up"
"worst president we've ever had"
"hard to get a word in with this clown - sorry, I mean person"

Don't know for sure, but I've heard Australia and New Zealand welcome English-speaking medical professionals.

Quote:

New Zealand needs migrant workers to fill some highly skilled occupations, for example:

business services
construction and utilities
healthcare and social assistance
education.
If your skills are on any of the skill shortage lists, you will find it easier to find a job and get a visa.

They should have sent someone with experience with his kind. Like someone who has worked with special needs people with anger management and behavioural problems. Or he could at least have consulted them and learned a trick or two.

As I think about it, maybe the solution would be a loud buzzer with Wallace's thumb hovering over it.

I like this from the 538:

Quote:

Biden came prepared for a debate. Trump came in determined to prevent one.

Cain · 29th September 2020, 06:56 PM

One prediction market: Biden's down a penny; Trump's up two. Civility can suck it! (If that's her name.)

theprestige · 29th September 2020, 06:56 PM

What commentator in the world understands fencing well enough to employ that metaphor? What audience in the world knows fencing well enough to be swayed by it?

Do you not understand what kind of a clown you'd have to be to think a fencing metaphor means anything?

I would love to watch the trumpistas scream "you can't do that!"

Blow the whole thing off and end with a "yeah, whatevs, I know you are but what am I" flourish! Does Trump deserve any better?

If you look at [democrat city] "like you wouldn't believe"

"no one's ever done what I've done"

There are a bunch more but it's not fair, I've already been listening.

I can't stand it. I've muted it. The radio is on in the other room.

Biden replies, looking at the camera: "This is not about my family or his family. It's about your family,".

"It's about you, the American people. That’s what we’re talking about here."

good stuff

Have you checked Trump's Twitter feed? Maybe there's an explanation.

Biden has made a point of addressing the camera directly and talking to the television audience, Trump has trained his eye on Biden throughout .
