2020 POTUS Debate 1 (29 September) follow-along and discussion thread

On the one hand, they do. Apparently, on air they said it wasn’t a scientific poll.
On the other, I’m really curious about the Tony Hawk video games below the desk. What are those doing there?

Those aren’t below the desk on the Telemundo set. That appears to be a picture that someone took of their TV, showing the Telemundo “poll” results; the video games are sitting on the cabinet below the television set.

That makes a lot more sense.

Alright, I’m watching the debate for a second time and I have to say, for some reason, watching it the second time around, Biden seems somewhat better. Maybe the heat of the moment, being in real time, made me feel like the stakes were higher and so felt more disappointed in Biden? Watching it for the second time, there’s no denying that he seems a LITTLE better than I initially thought.

Also, no, Trump did not call Biden “a number two”, i.e. implying that he was a piece of shit. Here’s what happened. Biden began rattling off a numbered list of points. Here is, verbatim, what was said:

BIDEN: “Even before COVID, manufacturing went in the hole. Manufacturing went in the hole. Number one. Number two. Number three. They…they…”

TRUMP: “No, you’re on number two.”

BIDEN: “No.”

TRUMP: “Chris…Chris…”

It’s very obvious to me that Trump was attempting to call Biden on the fact that he rattled off “number two, number three” in succession without actually saying what point number two WAS. Biden ennumerated a list but didn’t specify what the numbers indicated. Trump was trying to call attention to this.

Results… sometimes a graph, which I suppose is a type of picture, is what says it better than 1000 words. The betting field as reported by Lott & Stossel:

Perfect.

I heard him say “You’re a number two”. I’m glad that he is apparently not witty enough to even think of that juvenile a response in real time.

Yeah, I agree. But then - so his numbering is off? I think he was trying to say “see, he’s senile!”. While you wet interrupting all the time by the way. Hey, how about shutting the fuck up for a millisecond.

Trump is psychologically and physically incapable of denouncing his supporters, and only his supporters. He may try, but his brain goes into auto pilot and he adds some bothsiderism. He’s powerless to stop it.

For some levity. For a given definition of levity.

I love Levity. I especially love their Haze Frehley.

Well, he didn’t talk about the size of his dick, as he did in one of the 2016 primary debates, but yeah, it was pretty bad.

Trump mentions Hunter Biden’s cocaine use.

The Lincoln Project responds “You wanna go there?” (cracks knuckles) “OK, let’s go there…”

The Lincoln Project is hitting them out of the park right now 'focus group/decency/the collapse/I’m smart. Of course, Trump keeps giving them material.

There’s also the fact that he’s in hock to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, and his only options for repaying it are massive liquidation of his properties (which might not be enough) or sale of state secrets.

Too bad that’s fake. Nothing on her official Twitter feed since Wednesday.

Thanks for the correction.

Yeah, I had not considered it in this light, either. Eye opening.

Sure thing. I was trying to find the original tweet so I could share it with someone on Facebook but it’s nowhere to be found.

How would YOU take control of trump?
