Wow, This is Some Serious Doom and Gloom.

I think Biden killed it and I think Chris Wallace did about as good as could be expected. ...for anyone. Here's the thing though. Joe's going to learn from this. Chump's gonna do what Chump does. Clump gave Joe the blueprint tonight and he's going to dice him in the next debate even worse than he did here.

You speak to the audience. Biden did that.
Trump did what he always does, tries to kick the table over.
Trump spewed the same lying bullshit he always spews.

He did the exact same thing he always does. Lied, whined about the media
treating him unfairly, talked about his great rallies.
Looked like the same blowhard fuck that he's looked liked for the last four years.
I'm sure his cult loved it. I wonder how suburban women in swing states liked it?

Is answer every single question directly to the camera. Do not acknowledge his existence. If interrupted, reclaim your time. He did it tonight and set a precedent.

I started laughing my ass off. “Is this happening?”

I knew Trump would go full shit-flinging monkey. He didn’t disappoint.

I don’t get why people are so upset. Trump looked like a total crazy person, and Biden came off as sane, concerned for the well-being of Americans, and showed he wouldn’t be bullied.

I thought this was a total win for Biden.

And it was entertaining as hell. Me and the people I watched with were dying.

have to go through an election. This is MY country". So true.

The commentators also mentioned Biden trying to look at the camera & talk directly to the American people was a great move. Those times were the only parts of the debate i could stomach.

At one fucking point, he literally told Trump, "I'm going to ask you a question and you have two minutes to answer it, if you want to talk about something else during that time, go right ahead."

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

Trump came off as an insane jerk to anyone not already in his camp. But the dumpster fire still hurts those of us who remember how America once could have civil presidential debates.
