Give it a couple months and he'll be a great Palestinian. He's got one foot in the grave.
certified bruh moment
The Onion was on fire tonight. Best live reactions out there.
I'd say my normal "BOOM! roasted!"
But I have a feeling they'd just say
"yeah, exactly."
I don't know if I wanna laugh or cry
Holy fuck lmao
Oof
We had H2O!
"We knock on wood wherever we may have wood" lmfao
My favorite quote from the whole thing so far. Really says a lot about the Biden presidency when he took away the H2O.
No Carbohydrates! No H20! No electrons! We are imposing a vacuum sealed environment for explosive collision experimentation!
I was out playing board games and planned on catching up on the debate tomorrow. Did the onion do their own thing I need to watch too?
Honestly do yourself a huge favor and don’t watch it. 99.9% of it was disgustingly depressing. Trump’s H2O comment was about the only thing that was funny.
Tried to watch it - couldn't. Orange felon went full Gish gallop and moderators let him. Biden was overwhelmed with bullshit.
Yep I watched for 2-3 minutes and turned it off. Trump spewing orange diarrhea and Biden distracted by scanning the audience for the Grim Reaper.
In all seriousness, Biden clapped back harder in the second half and had some great parts where he actually outlined some good shit for the future and what he's gotten done in the past. Hopefully, the next debate is during the day when it's sunny and he's not sick with a cold.
He should stick to the overarching points in debates in the future. 2-3 points, speak slower, more measured, smile when his idiot opponent shoots himself in the foot by rambling.
Yeah both of them were terrible. Basically a giant waste of time.
