Joe Biden is the gift to Conservatives that keeps on giving and Tuesday night's Presidential Debate was no exception. Under a banner reading "The Union and the Constitution Forever," I've never seen two candidates come out swingin' so quickly. It was a fight from the start and Biden, despite his unpatriotic black-and-white tie, was the one bleeding.
Joe's blunders began almost instantly. When asked why President Trump should not nominate a replacement to Justice Ginsberg, Joe invalidated the 2016 election claiming the American people were "not going to get that chance” to have their say in the selection of a judge.
Feel that, America? You just got slapped across the face.
But Joe's first proper blunder was claiming Roe v Wade was on the ballot in the courts. Trump and I had the same reaction? Ummmm. We looked like my kitten when she's puzzled and cocks her head to one side.
Within the first 10 minutes, Trump's strong personality and message had moderator, Chris Wallace's, voice was shaking with anger and Biden laughing, visibly flustered. By moving them to emotion, Trump instantly gained the upper hand. Kudos, Mr. President, kudos.
Blunder #2: "Everybody knows [Trump's] a liar."
Am I the only one who noticed Biden's inability to look Trump in the eye when he said it?
Blunder #3: "I'm not going to answer the question."
Isn't that the entire point of a debate!?
Blunder #4: "Would you shut up, man."
I let out a piercing scream (of delight!) and my husband ran into the bedroom to say, "Joe's just lost. He just told the President to 'shut up'. If he has that much disdain for the office of the Presidency, how's he going to protect the common man."
Blunder #5: "[Covid-19] is what it is, because you are who you are."
Suddenly, the virus is about one man's personality. This from the party that keeps yelling about science, science, science.
Blunder #6: "There's millions of scientists, there's thousands of scientists, who don't work for him."
Joe's one homerun swing was to look into the camera and talk to the folks at home, like some kind of Fireside Chat instead of a Presidential debate. His mistake was using the word "smart."
Trump jumped on him, ""Did you say 'smart'...Don't ever use the word smart with me. There's nothing smart about you, Joe."
Joe had no response.
Blunder #7: "If I were running, I'd know what the plan was."
Wait, did Joe just say if I was running!?
That's exactly the Republican's point. He doesn't seem to be trying to run at all!
Blunder #8: "Will you just shush for a minute."
Trump proved again his great timing as a comedian when he noted that Biden's rallies are much smaller not because of Covid-19 but because "Nobody will show up."
Biden, God love him, laughed. It was almost as good as the "Cause you would be in jail" moment from the 2016 Trump/Clinton debate.
Blunder #9: "I'm going to eliminate the Trump tax cuts."
You hear that, Mr. and Mrs. American? Small business owners? Freelancers like me?
Blunder #10: "You're the worst President America's ever had."
Trump's instant response: "I've done more in 47 months than you did in 47 years." Burn!
Blunder #11: "We handed him a booming economy. He blew it."
Even Chris Wallace caught that one, correcting Joe Biden.
At this point, I began feeling sorry for VP Biden. They weren't equally matched and then Trump brought up Hunter and my empathy went away. With his head hanging, Joe tried...oh, how he tried to defend he whole Burisma thing.
Blunder #12: "None of that is true. None of that is true. Totally discredited. And by the way...It is not true....His position has been totally discredited."
Really??? I hadn't heard that.
Blunder #13: "It's hard to get any word in with this clown."
Shut up. Shush. Clown.
I've never heard anyone speak so disrespectfully to a President.
Two Segments down. Four to go. I'm already exhausted. This article is too long already so I'm going to press.
We are the greatest nation on God's green Earth and that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the best candidate the Democrats have. He had only two messages: Trump lies (you know that) and people died because of Trump, as if he engineered COVID-19.
I would say, "God help us all" but fortunately, Donald Trump is doing his usual spectacular job in the debate and, if you look deep in your heart, you know he'll win with ease on November 3rd.
1. It would detract from my enjoyment.
2. The scope of the job is above my pay grade.
3. I'm practically flawless and it would be too time consuming.
Have a great day and remember to wash your hands or anything else that looks dirty.
You can throw slurs at anyone solely for your "enjoyment?"
Why should anyone ever take you seriously?
-PJ
Different folks have different levels of discernment.
Besides, I don't care much what other people think. Why should I?
You can throw slurs at anyone solely for your "enjoyment?"
Sometimes I throw slurs at people because they need to be slurred.
I'm on a mission from God.
Because it's the rules here.
Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks...
Maybe you need a time-out if you believe the rules don't apply to you.
-PJ
I don't think he believed Wallace would be his opponent in this debate. But he certainly proved to be just that.
I will watch his next rally with more enthusiasm
Look at you calling the cops because you dislike someone's attitude.
You're a real badass hero, Karen.
-PJ
You take on the debate agrees perfectly with mine!
Oooohh I'm committing crimes now?
And need to be punished?
Ain't you just a judgmental thing.
Looky here, Karen... if you don't like my posts I'll refund twice what you paid for them.
It's too bad that we never see you contributing on the real news threads, like last night's debate thread.
-PJ
Oh, I imagine that if I did you'd find fault with that too.
Shouldn't you be tattling to the Moderator again about now?
Like a real badass would.
And yes, I do call out bad behavior, but only if it persists, and not on the first occurrence. In your case, you know the site rules because you claim to be enforcing them. I only pinged the moderator when you refused to acknowledge them and pledged to do it again, just for the pleasure of it.
-PJ
Especially when we're talking about overturning our constitution.
What WHAT?
Please, I'd appreciate your showing me where I claimed any such thing.
I don't think I've ever cited any "rules" to anyone.
Thanks in advance for your (presumably easy) provenance of your claim.
Here you are again, posting your blog as news... Your blog trash belongs in the blog section.
-PJ
We were looking for RULE citations, remember? Or even a MENTION of rules.
After all, you made the claim about rules.
Surely you didn't just make it up.
FYI.. the admin moderator said the same thing to the OP later on, so yes, it's a rule. And you told her to do it first.
Give it up. Time to move on.
-PJ
Oh. Sounds like. Very firm citation, that.
FYI.. the admin moderator said the same thing to the OP later on, so yes, it's a rule.
So I was demonstrably right.
Ah, sweet redemption.
Now go wash your grubby hands.
And pointing out blogs posted as news is what exactly?
Looks like pointing out bad behavior to me.
Are you done?
