Well done, Joe.

They need to turn off the mics of an interrupter to maintain decorum. Biden could’ve done better, but he held his own against what amounted to a hyperactive toddler off his meds. He demonstrated far more patience than I ever would.

As for me, I tolerated 100 minutes of Donald Trump without breaking the TV or having a stroke. That’s a win in my book.

But I had to watch Donald Trump be Donald Trump for 100 minutes. That’s a loss.

Wife & I wondered about the microphone thing since it seemed like an obvious fix.

I looked it up, apparently neither campaign would agree to it 🤷‍♂️

Based on how the evening went, Chris Wallace would have exercised it appropriately IMO but there’s no way of knowing that in advance.

Trump is going to cry foul no matter what. How satisfying would it be to see him screaming into a dead mic? He would’ve lost whatever’s left of his fully-mortgaged mind.

"i paid millians, millians." btw he never showed us his tax returns

Let's not forget that he clearly showed he's not suffering from dementia.

joe you have more of my respect then before this.

I would prefer sanders or yang but biden will have to do

He refused to sink to Trump's level? When was that KF?

Was it sometime between when he told the president of the United States to "shut up, man" or when he called him a "clown"?

That's Dems for ya... always going high while "they" go low.

Try to be objective for a change, KF. They both went low, and you know it.

He was asked about hunter Biden and flat out lied, its over for old sleepy joe. Hillary was just exposed for corruption too, its all coming crashing down.

I’m sorry Kamikaze. I have serious doubts that anyone with half a brain could think an old man with dementia is fit to be president. Better than Trump? Maybe.

Better than Trump? Definitely. Is he the best choice? No but considering what we have a choose from? By a country mile.

He’s not suffering cognitive decline and there’s no evidence he ever has. He’s a documented stutterer from an early age.

But he’s forgotten where he was at conventions (If this isn’t propaganda)

Propaganda

Hm. Can you show me proof?

You made the claim. Show me proof.

Three “articles” from shady sources regarding one particular incident from over two months ago. That’s not very compelling, is it?

One incident. Just one. Not a half dozen. It’s not like he was incapable of walking down a ramp without assistance. It is possible to misspeak. If you could produce, say, three articles from three reputable sources on three separate incidents, I’d raise an eyebrow.

So then let’s address your sources...

All three sources are deeply right-wing, anti-MSM, blah blah blah that are about as biased as they come. They produce content that they know their readers will lap up like the curdled milk it is. In particular, Pamela Geller is one of the most reprehensible humans staining this country today.

Good to know

Well, I’m in good company, apparently.

Biden’s alleged mental incompetence is wildly exaggerated. At worst, he stumbles over his lines, meanders, and has a habit of saying “thousands” when he means “millions,” and vice-versa (before correcting himself, that is), all of which was on display at the debate.

I’ve said here and elsewhere Biden wasn’t my first pick in the Democratic primaries by a long-shot.

But he has a fundamental commitment to decency and the truth that Trump is simply lacking, and that also shines through.

No, he’s not an eloquent orator like Obama or as beguiling as Bill Clinton. But he’s at least the equivalent of G.W. Bush and light years ahead of Trump.

The fact of the matter is one of Trump or Biden is going to be President and if we want to participate in our own democracy then we have to choose.

I mean, during a convention he forgot where he was (if that’s not propaganda)
