And neither should Biden. Biden needs to step down and we need a viable Dem candidate
A little late to cry foul about it, isn’t it?
But he persisted.
I made a list of everything trump said during the debate that isn’t a lie:
01. We got hit with COVID.
02. Biden created mandates. Biden did a mandate on the vaccine.
03. The jobs went down and then they bounced back.
04. Biden made a statement.
05. I was getting out of Afghanistan.
06. The corporate tax was cut down to 21 percent.
07. 200 billion dollars is a lot of money.
08. The Supreme Court just approved the abortion pill.
09. Texas is different. Florida is different.
10. The states are making their own decisions right now. And right now, the states control abortion. Abortion is now back with the states.
11. Biden put the suckers and losers quote in commercials.
12. I fired the general that you mentioned.
13. We have an ocean separating us and Ukraine.
14. The European nations together have spent $100 billion on Ukraine, or maybe more than that.
15. We have a debate.
16. I funded historically black colleges and universities.
17. We had H2O.
18. We mentioned “Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine”.
19. I did fire a lot. I fired Comey. I fired a lot of the top people at the FBI.
20. We were using all forms of energy.
21. Biden said he inherited 9 percent inflation. Inflation blew up under his leadership.
22. We have polling.
23. Biden never took out my tariffs that I imposed on China. He never took them away.
24. I took two cognitive tests.
25. We left billions of dollars of equipment behind in Afghanistan.
26. I got along with Putin very well.
But Joe “We finally beat Medicare” Biden definitely should have been on the debate stage…
Disagree. Like it or not he’s the Republican candidate.
What should have been on that stage are the god damned spines of the debate moderators. If either candidate flat out lies they need to be chin-checked with hard facts. It just so happens lying is like breathing for trump.
Biden struggled big time. But trump fomented more fucking salacious lies and brain-broke-bullshit than ever before. We cannot have that.
The debate was Biden’s idea…
I would argue that Joe Biden should not have been on stage either
I remember everyone bet he wouldn’t show up. Biden’s the one who invited him to debate and set this whole thing up, so honestly the blame is kind of on him for arranging it if Trump shouldn’t be given the platform.
This is unbelievable cope. The stages of grief of how Biden went have reached anger
We know, but he was on the stage. Millions of people are planning to vote for him. Instead of crying about it, what is the PLAN for beating him in the election so that we don’t have to see articles for 4 years titled “Donald Trump Should Not Be President” while women lose their rights, minority groups are discriminated against, and he does all the other shitty things that he plans to do (too much to list).
Twice impeached convicted felon found liable for rape.
He should be in prison for the rest of this century.
Guys this is pathetic
But he was, and Biden was incapable of drawing any sort of contrast. We’re just ignoring reality
It was held three hours passed both their bedtimes and 15 years passed retirement age.
He belongs in prison.
Alright, but he was. He lied. He was unapologetically Trump. Most importantly, he made Biden look like a frail old man in comparison.
Trump doesn’t belong in this race. He’s a traitor
This sub is going through all seven stages of grief at once. 😂
Yeah let’s prop up this felon and try to make it legit. Fuck you media
My opinion Biden practiced too much ( hurt his voice) and they wanted him to try to shove a bunch of talking points in possible and he stutters trying to get it all out. Let him just be himself and off the cuff. That’s how he works best. No memorizing long speeches
Hearing him shit himself on multiple different feeds was gross, but satisfying. 1:16:22. When he’s talking about the China tariffs.
Wait I was told by people on here that Trump was too scared to show up and that Biden would destroy him? What happened guys?
A week ago establishment dems were begging for a debate. Biden challenged him. What happened? 🤔
I would have liked it to be two candidates under 65 that can complete a though and or not be a pos.
To be fair, the Biden campaign are the ones who pushed for the debate. Morons.
The fact that fascist racist rapist felon, who tried to overthrow the govt and if wins will be the end of the USA is even a consideration shows how many truly repulsive horrible people live in this country.
Yeah, but he was and performed as expected. Biden objectively shit the bed. Most of us in the sub skew liberal but you gotta be realistic here. Biden needs to drop out and pass the baton asap. He’s not the best person to beat Trump this year.
The media is working overtime to flush out the fact that the Democrats have propped up a carcass, huh? This whole damn thing was Biden’s own idea. Ya’ll got dementia now too, is it viral?!
nono…. yes he should have been….. he is the unhideable face of the republican party and a weight around their neck. there is no holier than thou acceptance for the followers of the republican party with him at the helm. he is a mirror to them all. where they go one, they go all. may thebparty and its followers wallow in their cowardice, so that people who give a shit can make grueling change beyond my life time for a better world.
What’s even the point of saying this?
Maybe he “shouldn’t” have been on the stage but in reality he was. And he’s on the ballot too.
He’s running for president. Short of him actually dying that’s probably not going to change. And after that debate the polls are probably going to show that he’s winning.
We need to fight the fight we’re actually in and not the hypothetical one we wish we were in.
Neither candidate should have been allowed to be on that stage, nor should they be allowed to run for office. But here we are.
Cope much lols
Putin told him he was invading ukraine and he didnt do anything to stop it at all.
Then he said he could end the war now, but only if he is elected.
Why would I want a person who puts caveats on doing the right thing? You should always want to do the right thing.
Having Biden and Trump debate was a mistake, primarily because Trump has nothing to lose. Trump could shit his pants on the stage, and it won’t affect his supporters, ort the majority of independents that already won’t vote for him. Biden however, has to constantly remain looking perfect, and any slip-up will be highlighted, while all of Trump’s failures will be just Trump being Trump. It’s a lose-lose for Biden.
That, and dignifying the felon with a debate is beneath the Dems.
But… Biden and his team literally asked for this. And agreed to the terms of the debate. Spent a week in Camp David to get ready. So this fiasco is completely on them, regardless of Trump being an insurrectionist felon.
Oh my gosh – can we seriously stop focusing on this angle; It’s clear that he’s on the ballot and will be running (regardless of how wrong/illegal it is). This kinda technicality / hopeium BS is distracting from the actual issue at hand which is the we need people to get out and VOTE…we cannot just sit here complaining about the legality of all of this, let’s actual focus on what matters…WINNING.
WE NEED TO WIN – THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT A BULLY IS TO PUNCH HIM IN THE NOSE. WINNING SOLVES ALL THESE ISSUES.
This is beating a dead horse and if the only response to trump is that he shouldn’t be running (and not his policies) we are all in for a rude awakening in November…
Neither candidate should have been on that stage.
Listen, there should always be live fact checking in today’s environment. If you’re against that, too bad. How anyone who’s runs to be the fucking president is allowed to get up there and just say whatever crazy shit he wants of fucking so wrong and I unbelievable to me. Lie after lie, every single fucking word. Even things easily fact checked – ‘I don’t sleep with a pornstar’. Moyherfucker you just got convicted with 34 felonies involving said porn star you did sleep with. It’s fucking unacceptable he’s allowed to lie over and over.
What good is a debate talking about policy when the other asshole can just say ‘yeah well Biden feeds his parrot his own shit’. Just vile made up garbage is just allowed to fly?
34 felonies and a fucking psychological liar. He shouldn’t even be allowed to fucking run anymore. Since he is, let’s just throw all the rules out.
Republicans and their hick base want a civil war, let’s just do it because clearly having adult discussions isn’t in the cards. I’m so fucking done with all of it just being allowed.
Republicans are fucking if absolute scumbags for getting behind this guy. They have zero interest in helping you or society. Wake the fuck up
He shouldn’t even be running. The man literally tried to overthrow our government.
