Red Meat For The Debate Buffet

I hope I'm watching the Yankees trounce the Indians tonight rather than watching Biden and Trump trounce reality but just in case - here is some red meat for your debate buffet table. "The Weak Leading The Woke" takes a long, LOL look at Biden's long, LOL history.

My fave line so far as the author ponders the many questions about Joe Biden:

Is Biden still, you know, all there?

It is especially hard to gauge the cognitive decline of a public figure whose cognitive peak was neither recent nor lofty.

Ouch.

”attorneys for both sides don’t expect a decision before the election” So why even take it up then?

Can't they request a restraining order of some sort? The exigency of the election is kind of obvious.

The Trump campaign wants the Biden campaign to allow a third party to inspect the ears of the debaters for electronic devices or transmitters. The President has consented to this inspection, but Biden has not – so far. (2/3)

The research presented by Honduran doctors Óscar Díaz, Fernando Valerio and Miguel Sierra, creators of Catracho treatment, will be published as one of the great contributions in reducing deaths by Covid-19.

Catracho – as Hondurans are colloquially called – is an acrostic made up of the names (in English) of its main components: colchicine, anti-inflammatories, tocilizumab, ivermectin, blood thinners, and hydroxychloroquine.

The Central American country had one of the highest fatality rates from coronavirus in Latin America. On March 10th, the first case of covid-19 was reported in Honduras and at the beginning of April the mortality rate was 14.5%. On April 23, a multi-mechanism treatment protocol based on the pathophysiology of covid-19 was implemented and by July 18TH, 31,966 patients were confirmed with the disease. The fatality rate at that time had decreased to 2.66%, representing a decrease of 81.6%.

The Biden campaign requested two breaks (one every thirty minutes) during tonight's program, which was denied by their Trump counterparts, in negotiations over the last several weeks.

The Trump campaign wants the Biden campaign to allow a third party to inspect the ears of the debaters for electronic devices or transmitters. The President has consented to this inspection, but Biden has not -- so far.

We need to add Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho to the debate. As if it isn't crazy enough, you dog faced pony soldiers, you!

Will Michael "Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!" Buffer be the announcer?

Will Joe challenge Trump to a pushup contest? Will he threaten to take him out back behind the gym? Will Trump melt Biden down into a quivering mass of jelly?

Tonight! With an audience of millions!

Having just endured the mandatory maskerade machination of air travel yesterday, I really have no problem with this.

’The Biden campaign requested two breaks (one every thirty minutes) during tonight's program...’

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that a cocaine buzz wears off after thirty minutes. (Or so I’ve heard...)

[Extraneus]

From the CTH comments it seems that Sullivan is reading from Gleason and either implying or accusing the DoJ of corruption related to their decision to drop the Flynn case.

[lyle]

Interesting idea, matt. What are the chances Sundown starts a reply to Trump as, “look, fat...”?

The collective orgasm of the commies at home after him saying this would probably wobble the axis of the earth.

I give 2 hour exams and students are told no bathroom breaks. That's because it's impossible to prevent them from checking notes, communicating with friends, etc. if they go to the restroom. I'm sure one reason for those breaks is so that Joe can refresh his diminished memory, and pop a pill or two.

Before answering the proposed question or response, @realDonaldTrump should say to either @JoeBiden or Chris Wallace:

"You really don’t understand the issue, do you. ..." and then give his appropriate response.

Every aspect of the president’s health has been mocked, analyzed, debated, and questioned but voters aren’t entitled to know if Biden is using any type of stimulant or an ear piece to survive a 90 minute debate?

[mockmook]

Thanks clarice for the link to the audio.
Unfortunately, as you know, they now appear to be in recess.
So far Sullivan just read all the "facts" leading up to his coming ruling -- the Government was about to respond then the audio went away.
They are now (apparently) about to resume the court audio.

[jimmyk]

Sullivan is reading from Gleason and either implying or accusing the DoJ of corruption related to their decision to drop the Flynn case.

And he would be right if he were referring to the Obama DoJ. Guessing he doesn't even address that, but just asserts the decision was political.

[Melinda]

Tonight's Debate is brought to you by the makers of Namenda®.

[matt - deplore me if you must]

The firefighters and cops in Philly and across the country are a very big deal.

Joe was Mr. Union and now the unions are deserting him.

Trump has access to the world's best jamming equipment. He should send messages to Joe in the middle of the debate -- "John has a large mustache" or “The long sobs of the violins… fill my heart with a monotonous languor.” or "Cornbread longs for Amir's slurpees" to give it a man of the people touch.

We know that Hunter can pony up for an 8 ball, so he has that covered.

We don’t just “throw charge up against a wall and hope they stick. ” And our main witness (Strzok) is compromised. And Gaeta misrepresented things to the FISA court. And McCabe lied under oath. All of our evidence and all of our witnesses have specific findings against them (IG report).

Last night, the Biden campaign said Biden would not sound like Biden, because he will be wearing a mask. Since Biden always wears a mask that sounded like they were sending in a substitute.
