It will be a total farce. Joe Biden is expected to speak with perfect elocution and can't be too angry or too calm. One misstep and the media will fall over itself questioning his competence.

All Trump has to do is drink a glass of water with one hand and not drop an n-bomb and we will hear how presidential and commanding he seemed.

I never watch debates - too exasperating.

You are totally right, Charles.

The entire presidency of the orange shitgibbon has been exhausting. I made up my mind years ago who I was voting for (anyone but Trump). There is nothing either of them could possibly say or do during the debate that will change my vote. Biden was never my favorite during the primaries, but he'll be a thousand times better than Trump.

So why watch this shitshow tonight? It won't make any difference. It will just raise my blood pressure for no reason. Way less stressful to read a good book, or watch something mundane on Netflix, either of which would be a far better use of my time.

I don't plan on watching any of the debates.

Oh such stupid and vapid smugness. Maybe you all won't watch it tonight but you'll watch every YouTube clip of it with glee tomorrow.

@6 Every accusation is a confession.

prez is OFF THE REAILS
good

Joe really needs to
INTURRUPT THE FUCKOUTTA
Fake 'prez' & establish some Ground Rules.

oh man i am so drunk now - 1 sip for every Trump lie my head is spinning

I'm not watching.
Why would I want to listen to Trump's psychotic babble of lies?
Trevor Noah, or Stephen Colbert can sum it up for me later

@6
No, Raindrop, I'm not smug at all.
I'm deeply distressed at the shabby state of our democracy.

oh god it got so much worse seriously buy a mute button or I'm not watching the next debate

@12: Well, after watching it your take was better than mine.

Very well written, Charles. Agreed and seconded. I'm way ahead of you, as far as avoiding the 2020 Presidential debates (and SO fucking glad I don't have a TV).
Brad Pitt currently serves as a better view. I just purchased a DVD copy of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to add to my video collection.

@12 pat L: sigh---agreed and seconded. I know I couldn't handle any presidential debates now without throwing something at a TV set.
