    It’s hilarious how much the Trump campaign and right wing media are panicking about this debate. They’re doing everything in their power to preemptively craft narratives to justify his poor performance. Hell, last week Trump was saying he planned to lose “on purpose.” Clown behavior.

    Right wing media has been doing such a bang up job attacking Biden’s heath and mental fitness, that all he has to do is:

    Show up

    State full name

    What day and time

    Say "Person, woman, man, camera, TV,”and boom. Debate won. The bar is so fucking low, Vern Troyer could step over it with ease. (RIP Vern. I miss you man)

        Trump: “If I’m reelected we won’t stop at nuking the hurricanes - we’re gonna nuke the sharks too and make Jason Momoa pay for it!”

        Army of red-hatted morons: “NUKE THE SHARKS! NUKE THE SHARKS! NUKE THE SHARKS!”

      Followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

      Ahh yes - the political strategy of taking one on the chin with voter confidence, by staring into space and becoming a viral meme, so your opponent thinks you’re slow, and lowers their guard during the debates, that the persuadable independent voters totally ignore.

      Bullet proof strategy. I’m fired up!

        Are we talking the cropped videos to give the impression Joe was lost, or actual legit video? I know at least Fox was using the cropped version of him interacting with a soldier that had just landed, and was packing their parachute, to make him look like he was lost and staring off in the opposite direction of everyone else in frame.

    I saw a Hannity clip where he’s now moved from “Joe Biden was on coke during the SOTU speech” to “maybe it was a caffeine pill”. These nut jobs are getting their pants twisted over a completely imaginary scenario where the president takes caffeine…
