Biden v Trump: June 27 debate (Live debate comment here)

“You have 80 seconds left. My question was…”

Really hope project 2025 gets brought up.

I think he’s got the energy but he does best with crib notes. That’s his strength. It sounds like he was over prepped and it’s not in his nature to cough up talking points without some ques to work with. This would be the fault of the people prepping him.

I had to stop watching. Can the Dems tag team Kamala in?

Do I dislike myself enough to watch this entire debate?

To have just one day living with absolutely not one ounce of shame. I wonder what that is like.

It’s masterful in some ways.

I plan to, but I also expect a medal for bravery later.

I was in Seattle a few weeks ago. I had no idea it had been burned down.

They definitely got Trump’s Adderall dosage right.

Oh good grief, what was that about Jan 6th.

Biden is following the “sitting presidents do badly in the first debate” rule.

Ah! Trump’s conviction gets mentioned, by Biden. Briefly, but it was there.

I can’t believe how fucking weakly the democrats message around Jan 6. They had a whole fucking false electors plan! They had a fucking plan to conduct a coup with legal fictions and collaborators and suppression of law enforcement and the democrats are so fucking feeble on calling it out as a violent insurrection attempt. This is such a fucking easy messaging war to win and they’re so bad at it.

It’s style that gets the votes because too many voters don’t/won’t understand the substance.

Adding to it Biden is not going to respond in kind to trumps invective because he’s a normal human being.

On to the felonies.

Now Jake Tapper has a question for Trump regarding his conviction, and about how his retribution would work.

Trump, of course, refers to Hunter Biden being convicted too.

You DID say that, Donald. You were impeached for it.

To those panicking that Biden is doing bad; the election isn’t tomorrow. I’m not sure this is the only debate. And Trump’s sentencing is coming up soon. This might just be a footnote in the story of this election.

As I said in another thread, I think after this debate a lot of folks will be changing their opinions on whether debates still matter.

“The idea that you have the right to seek retribution against any American because you’re president is wrong.”
