Well that backfired on the Democrats…
You know it’s bad when you lose Brian Stelter:
I’m listening on the radio, and the audible difference between Biden and Trump is really striking https://t.co/qbecRF9igo

And others…
All the restrictions, all the hiding Biden away, all the bias… and all it did was help Trump and hurt Biden. Former President Trump was forced to be disciplined and precise, as his son noted on X:
President Biden was exposed as a frail old man, stuttering and stumbling through various faux pas…
“I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence — I don’t think he knows what he said, either.”
…falling back on propaganda lies to attack his opponent.
Whatever he was on, they needed more of it…
…and not just water, Jack!
And against all odds, the CNN moderators were surprisingly good (although there were a couple of very odd cuts early on in the debate as Biden stammered):
There are too many moments of note so we will cherry pick a few here:
He did keep reaching for his ear…
Biden repeated the claim that Trump slandered dead veterans, turning to him and saying:
“You’re the sucker, you’re the loser.”
Trump did not rise to the bait and responded calmly.
Biden claimed the border was secure and that Border Patrol endorsed him… they responded…
President Biden kept repeating some claim about ‘nazis coming out of the woods holding torches’ and claimed that Trump said “Hitler did some good things.”
Biden on the economy:
“We provided thousands of millions of jobs.”
Oh and Biden claimed he “inherited 9% inflation”… Nope!
On taxes, yes he said it: “fair share”…
President Biden claimed that America is the “most admired” nation under him… well no…
Trump was the “grown up” when they discussed Biden’s age and fragility:
Biden: “Look I’d be happy to have a driving contest with him. I got my handicap when I was vice president down to a six. By the way, I told you before I’m happy to play golf with you if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it?”
Trump: “That’s the biggest lie, that he’s a six handicap, of all.”
Biden: “I was a eight handicap–“
Trump: “Let’s not act like children.”
Biden: “You are a child.”
It was pretty hilarious.
We should get them on the course for the next episode. https://t.co/HC9By72Wom

Trump’s best line of the night when confronted with the ‘projection’ that he will weaponize the government against his opponents:
“My retribution is going to be success.”
Finally, as Rogan O’Handley noted on X,
And the market knows it, with stocks and the dollar bid and bonds selling off (as Goldman suggested) as PredictIt’s odds soared for Trump and crashed for Biden…

…and cue the excuses for Biden’s performance? A cold or COVID?
Working so much for the American people? Or will we get pure gaslit: “Actually, we think Biden killed it in the debate…and Trump sucked”. But hey if by victory you mean he stood up for 90 minutes, you’re right, well done (well there was a half-time break)
Donald Trump is delivering the second-worst presidential debate performance I’ve ever seen.

Poor Joe. He used to have a girlfriend named Mary!
Didn’t watch. Was getting the race car ready for tonight. Gonna go burn some high octane “fossil” fuels and express my frustration with the world through acceleration and maybe some doorbanging. You would not believe the stress relief. And VP Fuels C12 is the second best smell in the world.
Those were the days until they weren’t.
What is your race car?
What “was” my car in the scca southeast endurance championship was of British design.
It and I were married in the late eighties and spent glorious weeks into years changing fluids, rebuilding brake calipers, hauling her from Chimney Rock Hillclimb to Charlotte, Rockingham, Roebling Road, Road Atlanta,Sebring, Daytona and that mosquito track built in the swamps down in South Florida near Stuart, Fl. I never recall the name of the track but will never forget the deluge of rain in an open cockpit, midrace.
Here’s an even longer answer…
My time had come when hauling home from another victory ( that little shit car was flogged mercilessly) and sensing, like a switch gone open circuit, an emptiness for the next adventure. It was a stunning mental development I’ve never quite satisfactorily explained. God speaking, will suffice.
How you people pay for meals, motels, gas and extraneous, not to mention car upkeep, in these times amazes me.
Win, a9racer. Conquer.
I tapped out after five minutes. I’ve seen train wrecks before.
What a humiliating spectacle that was.
The evil of two lessers trying to convince themselves they’re running to save us from the other guy…it begs description.
“beggars”. Nothing that shameful wants to be described.
Politicians arguing over who belongs in office and who doesn’t is like ants and flies arguing over which ones belong at the picnic. The people having the picnic don’t either the ants and flies at all and would rather they would just leave. All the ants and flies want is free access to the food and goodies the neither brought…in essence, a free hand out.
I really wanted to see the debate but I had a medical emergency……I had to trim my toenails and clean the lint out of my navel.
“My Retribution Is Going To Be Success” …“My Retribution Is Going To Be Successful Hangings” …fixed it.
Trust the plan. Trust Sessions.

Tested ol docs RX out on that debate. Apparently he’s got my dosage of fukitol dialed in tight! I knew to stop watching almost immediately.
