Not watching. It's going to get ugly. Trump campaign going full QAnon/Pizzagate this week with paedophilia shit which I'm sure he'll try to squeeze in.

I'm giving it a miss and watching the Springsteen documentary about his new album.

Is it possible for Trump to answer one question without a lie?

omochain · October 23, 2020, 02:59:37 AM

No

Trump has made over 100 lies so far according to real time fact checkers

He is floundering

Watching a bit of this to see what the craic is.

Those are two dreadful candidates for the leadership of any country. Much less a country the status of the US.

Trump is obviously absurd nonsense. But Biden is a nothing candidate.

You just have to step back and wonder what the f**k is going on in the place that these two are deemed your best options. If ever a country needed some sort of political reset and to just start over again this is it. This is rock bottom stuff.

I've actually been pleasantly surprised by Biden's campaign

I expected him to be a disaster

But he has been very competent the whole way through

I think he's been well advised and has a really good team behind him

Perhaps the expectations were so low that just by being competent he has dispelled all the stuff that was said which portrayed him as senile

He's winning this debate comfortably by any objective standard

If you want to have large windows in your house.. you better vote for Trump... !!!!

Vebatim exchange:

Biden: "And now we have 545 kids lost."

Trump: "Good."

Trump left the stage looking defeated.

He grunted at moderator Kirsten Welker before slinking off stage

Biden positioned himself effectively on issues which affect the working class while accurately portraying Trump as the cossetted elitist he is

You nailed that Sid. However when the Trump base view the debate through the prism of the Murdoch/Fox lens they will come away with a polar opposite view. Sad.. Just wait for Gmac and crew....

"Other countries. Particularly Europe"

So many gems in there tonight. Where do you start?
