There are many negative but honest headlines you could write about Tuesday night’s semi-coherent shouting match between Donald Trump and Joe Biden and Biden’s de facto spokesman Chris Wallace. But the media has settled on a headline ripped straight from their own fever dreams.
On the other side, the right used social media to give their views of the debates or place so-called conspiracy theories.
The majority of Trump supporters did allege that Biden was using an earpiece during last night. The Trump campaign demanded that both candidates be checked for hidden earpieces before the debate, the request was denied from Biden’s camp.
This raised more questions than answers.
A video that surfaced this morning on the social media where Biden allegedly says good luck to his staffers using earphones at the beginning of the debate.
The video was removed but we have downloaded for just in case.

Fact Checkers quickly denied these rumors.
PolitiFact reported:
In the shaky video, Joe Biden adjusts his dress shirt. After he straightens the collar of his blazer, a thin shadow appears.
“There it is,” a narrator says in the clip shared thousands of times on Facebook. “Biden’s wearing a wire. Why do you need a wire, bro?”
The video shows 13 seconds of the first presidential debate between Biden and President Donald Trump. It has spawned dozens of conspiracy theory posts on Facebook, which were flagged as part of the company’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
Did Biden get help during the debate? No — the posts are baseless, and other fact-checkers have debunked them. But they quickly took off on social media.
Before the debate, another viral rumor claimed Biden had a device implanted in his skull that lets him hear someone on the other end give him answers to questions. We rated that claim Pants on Fire. Envoy Medical said its device “cannot secretly and wirelessly transmit conversations” and the Biden campaign refuted the claim.
What do you think about this?

Or maybe Donna Brazile was rooting around in Wallace's office last night?
Whoever prepared Biden's notes wrote "GOOD LUCK!" IN BIG BOLD LETTERS at the top of his notes for his intro AND THEN HE READ IT AS PART OF HIS INTRO!
ROFL!
I thought he was wishing his teammate Chris good luck.

No, I’m not saying he had a device implanted in his skull or stuck in his ear. Who knows? But it’s silly to claim that a technology doesn’t exist and isn’t being used because of the denials of a particular manufacturer about a particular device.
in the next two debates, they shouldn’t have podiums at all. I think Biden had some sort of device because he spent so much time looking down. What was he looking at all the time?
AND HE STILL DIDN’T WIN!
That’s actually pretty disturbing, if true.
So, they seem to be saying that Biden WAS using a device from Envoy Medical, but that device cannot transmit conversations. This statement, in and of itself, is a red herring. Nobody is contending that "conversations were transmitted" by Joe. (After all, nobody on the other end would want to hear what Joe had to say!) Hearing aids DO NOT HAVE MICROPHONES. But hearing aids do have Bluetooth and they can receive audio.
This OLD demented bastard took about 5 days to prepare for this debate and HE STILL SCREWED IT UP.
Trump tore into him the first thing after the opening bell and away it went. All he could do is respond by calling Trump a liar, a clown, and a racist, as well as telling him to shut up.
It’s a bracelet he wears.
At some point you have to believe someone. No one trusts the moderator because they don’t like the questions. People don’t like that Biden could standup and talk—he must be on drugs. He must have gotten the questions. He must have an earpiece. He had an IV port.
It’s all bullshit.
Trump had been making him out to be a drooling fool—yet he didn’t give Biden the chance/time to hang himself. It’s no wonder the simple minded on our side feel betrayed.
Ockam’s razor applied tells us that Biden got himself pumped up, and Trump didn’t practice enough. It really is THAT simple.
I actually noticed that when he said it, and I thought, “Does he mean Good Luck being uninterrupted?” It was strange.
“I thought he was wishing his teammate Chris good luck.”
I have no doubt that Biden would cheat in every way possible, but I thought “good luck” was in response to Wallace’s immediately preceding comment that “both candidates will have 2 minutes to respond, uninterrupted” (i.e, particularly the “uninterrupted” part).
...”In the next two debates, they shouldn’t have [lecterns] at all. I think Biden had some sort of device because he spent so much time looking down. What was he looking at all the time?”
Good question....!! I noted that Mr. Trump hardly ever looked down and spoke quite conincingly without a great deal of use of notes, etc. It is quite interesting that even the Democrats are starting to question the wisdom of having Plugs Biden appear at the next two scheduled debates....
...I saw that last nite and thought it was very strange to say that - right before answering... let’s see how he does in #2 #3 & #4 ...
Bring a radio scanner and and then break in with:
10-4 good buddy or Itsy Bitsy Spider.... and watch Biden repeat.
