I'm not sure what American families mean. What sort of question would be relevant here?

Hunter Biden. Trump's "family business" and three marriages. Very American, much family.

Maybe this will be more informative? Kinda doubt it though, sadly.

I would imagine Trump is gonna chant "lock him up" most of the time.

Eh, it doesn't really seem like he has a cute little slogan for Biden in the same way that he had one for Clinton. But yes, I also think that it is going to devolve into a shitshow.

Two senile old men back at it again for round 2!

I'm not sure what'll happen tonight. Of course Trump is going to bring up the Hunter Biden saga and Joe Biden will recite what his campaign tells him, which is admit no fault, call the accusation baseless, and then maybe chalk it up to Russian disinformation (zero evidence of this). I don't expect Trump to deliver this attack very well. He'll probably ramble on while making no coherent sense. The average American really doesn't care, nor do I expect them to.

But really none of this matters. People have already made up their mind on who they're going to vote for. This debate will probably be useless, everyone will go into this with the mindset that their side will win despite what the actual end result is.

The moderator announced the topics earlier:

Fighting COVID-19, American families, race in America, climate change, national security and leadership.

What's better then watching two old men yell incoherent arguments at one another that make literally no sense?Huh? NAME SOME THINGS FOLKS.

But yes, Trumps line of attack against Biden regarding Hunter Biden and his alleged influence peddling could actually be something, though you're totally right. Trump is going to yell a ton of random shit and people won't be able to understand what he's talking about. Some will know, as those are the die hard Trumpers that have him on twitter and see him on Fox -- though the regular voters that he needs to join his camp will be like what the fuck is going on.

Can't wait for the shitshow to begin.

Why is there any debate. Biden doesn't have an excuse for being in the debates.


Joe Biden linked to "hundreds of millions of dollars" in money laundering schemes



Speaking to Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows explained to viewers that the Biden Crime Family, as many are now calling it, is mired in corruption – and what has been publicly released thus far is only the tip of the iceberg.

"If I were Joe Biden, I'd worry about tomorrow night because the kinds of questions he'll get to answer, even if the moderator does not ask them, certainly he'll get asked those types of questions and he'll have a chance to respond," Meadows told Bartiromo during an Oct. 21 segment, suggesting that Trump will almost certainly bring up the issue.

"But I think the other thing that is key here, Maria, is that when we start to look at the connections, when we put all the connections together, it's amazing how everyone's been silent on this issue when ultimately there's a lot of information there."

An interesting statistic (that we'll never get) is not how many "watched", but how many quit watching and after how long.

You can probably get that if you ask Nielsen. Not sure if they take Bitcoin.

That's probably put down somewhere. I know they put out some stats regarding the average amount of time each people had watched.

THOUGH FOLKS WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE, SO THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ONE -- that's if you disregard the townhall and all that. Fitted with plexiglass, like the VP debate, and mute buttons so people can speak uninterrupted.

Maybe this will be more informative? Kinda doubt it though, sadly.

This is gonna hurt Trump's feelings:

Joe Biden's town hall on ABC averaged 14.1 million viewers on Thursday night, easily surpassing the Nielsen ratings for President Trump's town hall on NBC.

That alone was a result virtually no one in the TV business expected. And that's not even the most surprising part.

The Trump town hall was simulcast by two of NBC's cable channels, MSNBC and CNBC, but even when those channels are included in the total, Biden -- on only one network -- still prevailed.

The Trump town hall averaged 10.9 million viewers on the NBC broadcast network. On MSNBC, Trump reached 1.8 million viewers, and on CNBC, about 720,000 viewers. So Trump's gross audience across the three channels was 13.5 million, still fewer than Biden's audience on ABC alone.

As for the non-debate itself, Biden's was boring and Trump's was cringy, as expected. Biden completely fumbled a question about black voters and Trump failed to denounce QAnon because - yep, he doesn't know them LOL. I can't recall anything else of particular importance but I only watched like 20 minutes of each.

That's kinda the consensus among my friends that did watch it. Biden is boring, but there are some people who prefer the boring normalcy compared to Trumps attack filled night. Nothing wrong with liking either style of a townhall.

A better moderated debate would've been better and more informative. But yeah - we didn't do that. Instead we just let both candidates talk to tons of town hall people.... lol.

Maybe we'll see a 3rd debate?

Okay you win. Maybe he's POTUS for nine-more while they argue the case, the appeal, the next level appeal, and the supreme court.

Ah, but the pesky constitution always getting in the way of well-intended dictatorships. Trump can't stay past noon January 20.


Nothing says having respect for the constitution quite like packing the courts so justices can legislate from the bench, effectively getting rid of separations of power.
There is a reason why both Biden and Harris are refusing to say if they will pack the SC, including in the debates. The only explanation is they know it is widely unpopular but plan on doing so anyway. If this was not the case, they would simply come out and say they are against court packing.

Saying they won't could alienate younger more liberal voters (think Bernie Bros).

Saying they will could alienate Republicans that plan on voting for Biden.

I think it's entirely possible, and makes sense even, to keep packing the courts on the table without making a promise to actually do it.

Ah, the fine practice of debating the nuances of the lies of the lying liars.

Trump backed out of a virtual debate because he feared his mic would be muted LOL

Shame on NBC giving him a town hall at the same time as Biden's already scheduled town hall on ABC.

I really think that, once you explain what 'packing the court is' to voters, they're REALLY not going to like it. While the Dems can try to explain it off as "WELL THEY PACKED THE COURT WITH RBG AND SCALIA" it's just not the same in the least. The GOP NEVER added seats at that time, they just used some political maneuvering to make sure that they were the ones with the choice on the court.

Say what you want about that, but I think the Dems would do the same if given the opportunity. Not me endorsing the strategy that Mitch and the GOP took, just pointing that out.

But I think that packing the courts is going to be something that the Republicans run with cause it seems like the only thing that has been sticking for them in terms of attacking. Maybe a bit more on the green new deal, fracking, etc. Fracking obviously isn't popular in all of the US, though in swing states it is (PA)

My theory is that they have a bunch of special interest groups behind the democratic party that are pouring money into campaigns who are upset at the conservative slant on the court, so naturally democrats are advocating for court packing so they don't lose funding. Would make sense for Biden to keep saying that he'd give his position after the election so he can continue raising money. I don't actually have any proof of this, so full tinfoil hat disclosure, but this is my only guess because I cannot comprehend why anyone would think it's a good idea to pack the courts. It's so illogical and I truly believe democrats are not that stupid. There has to be some other motive involved.

Democrats know if they end up packing the court, Republicans will do the same so again, this has to be about money.

I don't think I've ever watched a presidential debate, as I view them as a contest for the best liar. 

But I'll be watching this one - shocking that someone can still claim they pay a lot of taxes when someone is looking at their returns and can see they did not.

$400 million in loans coming due in the next presidential term?  Trump is the kind of guy who will sell out people for money.   I would think most tax evaders are that way.

the same as me, related to the debate, I have not watched it in full from start to finish. because when watching at a glance the points earned are only a few and only cause attacks on their respective personalities, Trump attacks with JB's personal issues, and vice versa.

Do two figures have to argue in order to convince US citizens to believe in choosing them instead of proving it with works that can be felt directly by Americans themselve

Trump beat Biden in the debate and handily beat the propaganda overblown China virus..

I thought y’all said he was so old and fat that he would surely die or become incredibly ill with lifelong lasting effects from the news famous cold?

Imo, their will be another debate.. Just a little drama first..

Biden drank a bit too much of his own coolaid and is scared of the coof..

President Trump spoken the mind of the citizens during the presidential debate, when he said he will do everything possible to make US proud in the areas of economy and educational sector in the country. I think Trump is the right man for the re-election that is coming up soon.
