The "media" has spent the last week setting the bar so low that when Trump comes out hopped up on stimulants, nothing in the debate itself will matter, and he will get a huge boost from simply not appearing as old as Biden did.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Hes shitting his diaper
He should’ve been worried about debating Hillary. It didn’t matter. People have already made up their minds about who they are voting for.
there are - astonishingly - a lot of undecided voters - especially those who would otherwise not have voted at all - as well as a lot of people i'm calling "Maybe-Not-Trumpers" who aren't gonna vote for Kamala, but just might be pushed into staying home rather than voting for Trump after finally being pushed too far by him and his politics. from polling i've seen over the last couple of weeks, these two groups makes up enough (esp in the surprise in-play swing states of FL and PA) that it could make a real difference for Kamala.
esp in FL and other states where cannabis and abortion are on the ballot (again, like FL), there's expected to be huge turnout from the left that could even swing the state. i'm not getting my hopes too high, but FL could go blue for the first time in 20 years this election, from top to bottom, president to senate to state house, even in some significant local elections. Desantis fucking blew it here for the GOP, and two decades of failures have changed a lot of voters' positions here.
Sorry. I don’t believe that. People who say they are “undecided” by this point are full of bullshit.
You are not wrong
you might think differently after watching this interview with Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Florida, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell
The only value to come out of this is getting more sound bites of old man Trump to blast onto billboards and remind people to vote.
Convicted felon Donald Trump vs. Former prosecutor Kamala Harris.
Please don’t leave out "known rapist”
Or twice impeached.
I genuinely still have no idea how we're still talking about this guy at all never mind considering electing him as president again. This fucking country is so monumentally stupid.
Or known fraud. How many civil cases for fraud has he been found at fault? Trump University, Trump Charities, tax fraud, etc.
Also: actual fucking traitor.
i was going to suggest washed up failed reality tv wannabe, but nothing beats treasonous russian muppet
He does the same ( Heads I win, Tails you lose ) crap every 4 damn years. If he does not universally suck , he "won" if the MSM says he lost it's "rigged" . Classic behavior from narcissists and con-artists , who lots of time are one and the same.
His cult will claim he won the debate, even if he shits his pants and starts talking like a baby.
This is the point that non trump people don’t grok.
His supporters don’t care.
His Multists (totally stealing that from now on) won’t be swayed by data or any facts. They won’t That 1/3 of the population would vote for him even if they were being rounded up for the camps.
Exactly this.
My mother continually defends that jackass every time I try and bring up how unhinged and nonsensical he sounds - such as when rambling about sharks, or Gettysburg.
"Oh sweetie, he's just kidding! He likes to joke and kid around!"
No...No mom, he's a deranged lunatic who can barely string together two coherent sentences.
for someone who "tells it like it is," he sure does need a lot of people to interpret when he's "taken out of context" or "joking" or "locker room talk" or "alternative fact-ing" or any other bullshit to explain away his saying the quiet part out loud
I like presidents who are serious
"He shit his pants to make a point!"
"He says it like it really is, even if it's infantile!"
Never forget that these are the exact kind of people that will shove a dildo up their ass live on stream to "own the libs"
Has that happened?
Oh yeah: https://instinctmagazine.com/white-nationalist-gavin-mcinnes-plugs-himself-to-own-the-libs/
There's probably better sources, that's just the first Google result.
That was a very long article, so for anyone too lazy to click, here is the bit you're probably interested in:
But enough of all that vomit-inducing background on the Proud Boys. I’ll leave you with this. For all their hatred of marginalized groups and especially in consideration of all the vicious transphobic and homophobic attacks by its founder, Gavin McInnes, I’m still trying to figure out how he so readily, and more importantly – easily slid a big black dildo up his own a**, live on his internet talk show? McInnes deemed the moment as “owning the libs.”
34D chess.
I didn't need to know Trump's cup size.
Again.
The Mult will just go back to wearing diapers and carrying rattles at rallies and other events. Because, as they'd tell you, that's not weird at all. Now, tan suits, don't get them started.
