Okay, but now you can’t un-see it again, can you?

I only saw the first few minutes where he was pouting about hard questions.  
His supporters think that looks tough? strong?

Standing up to the mean and unfair media?

Yeah, they think that that’s strong.

And that’s probably why you are not a Trump supporter.

It would seem his doctors have finally found the right combination and dosages of medicine for him. (This is entirely apart from the actual things he said, which was for the most part a non-stop stream of barefaced lies.)

I agree entirely.

Funny how many of the CNN and MSNBC people, last night, bent over backwards (figuratively, though you could picture it happening literally) to award little Donny good-behavior points.

Actually, not so much “funny” as “disgusting,” now that I think about it.

Sort of like a wife abuser who thinks that footage of his wife nagging him before he punches her in the face will clearly demonstrate to anyone who watches it that his actions were totally justified.

That may be the best-possible analogy for this.

And would anyone care to bet against the likelihood that Trump is the Golden God and hero of actual wife-beaters? I know I wouldn’t.

I did. They seemed to be equally tough on both candidates. They did fact check Biden a few times. However, he certainly did not appear senile in any way shape or form. Trump was Trump, in other words a whiny baby.

Here’s a good little article about the _60 Minutes_ interviews:

> **[Donald Trump Griped About ’60 Minutes’ Interview, But The Show Got The Last Word](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/donald-trump-griped-60-minutes-005450010.html)**
>
> We already knew that Donald Trump’s interview on 60 Minutes was one that went a bit off the rails. That’s because, in a bit of spite, the White House released its video version of it in advance of Sunday’s broadcast. What the segment itself showed is...

> In contrast to the raw footage from the interview, 60 Minutes had the advantage of mixing in clips to show the video proof.  
> For instance, the show ran a clip of Trump at a rally saying, “Suburban women, will you please like me? Please, please. I saved your damn neighborhood, okay?”  
> Asked about the comment, Trump griped, “I didn’t say that. You know, that’s so misleading. I say jokingly, ‘Suburban women, you should love me because I’m giving you security.'”

And etc.
