I confess that I don't have the stomach to watch the debate

15 seconds of that strained fart voice coming out of that prolapsed anus mouth, and I can't hold in the shrieking any longer.

Somebody call me if he looks like he's about to stroke out on live TV; I don't want to miss that.

Also, there's something about the debates that makes me think of figure skating competitions: you're always half waiting for them to fall from a great height onto their heads.

While Biden will "seem to have trouble connecting with voters."

That playbook makes me want to vomit every time we see it, and we see it every time a Republican gets their ass kicked in a debate.

I'll catch the highlights afterwards.

Biden will sound like a real President. MAGAts will think Trump WINS. Democrats will know he Trump beclowned himself. Another 2% of ? undecideds/soft Trump supporters will bail.

and I ain't breaking the streak. He has nothing to say that interests me. Plus, I'm not much into debates. The formats usually don't allow nearly enough time get much into discussion and only allow for sound bites and quips. I like quips as much as anyone, but I like details better.

It's not really a "debate" when one party is nothing more than a 2nd grader trying to slander people with juvenile name-calling and pretending he's the Second Coming who makes the sun come up.

he makes that faux casual/confiding shoulder to camera, elbow-to-the podium move that probably covers some kind of physical ailment. (I think he does it as left elbow/arm supported on podium, left shoulder forward and about 6 inches lower than right shoulder.)

It just screams "phony" to me. Then again, him inhaling/exhaling at this point gets on my nerves...

Schitt's Creek might be the prescription...

He sounded like a fourth grader brought onstage to fire up the crowd before the main act, where the main act is a man who eats shit off of a plate.

He spewed nothing but lies, insults, and masturbatory self-praise.


And the crowd of cultists swooned all the while in perpetual orgasm.

Wow, you're really being hard on Chris Wallace, come on dude.



My wife watched it, and I caught the sounds of Trump's constant interrupting. It was just nuts.
