Biden had an off night, so let's have a dictatorship now
Stuff like this is why we can't have nice things
I didn't watch the debate last night; I was too busy slathering bucketloads of steroid cream on an itchy, welt-like rash from hell after stopping my RA meds before surgery and being miserable. I am feeling a bit better today by half, but I am compelled to weigh in on the Presidential debate because —what?
Apparently, Biden acted like an old man.
Not demented.
Not insane. Not racist. Not sexist.
Not like a criminal or a rapist. Not a domestic terrorist. He acted like what he was—an Elder stateman with an apparent cold.
Still gotta love The New York Times’s take on the highly anticipated Presidential debate—read here if you want to punch your fist through a wall:
Biden Brushes Off Concerns About His Performance: ‘It’s Hard to Debate a Liar’ - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Even Ultra Liberal Rawstory weighed in with headlines like this:
'Heads are going to roll': Internet surprised and concerned by Biden's debate performance - Raw Story
Meanwhile, Trump, all told by onlookers, not the MSM, of course, behaved like the raving lunatic that he is, and yet the running narrative today is GET RID OF BIDEN.
Because, of course, it is.
I got two words for all ya’ll:
Project 2025!
No, Project 2025 won't be good for poor White dudes, either; their angst is being used to propel the nefarious plans of conservatives. The only people who will benefit from the Republican plan for America are already rich dudes and billionaires.
Period.
If you haven’t heard about Project 2025, please, for the love of all that is holy, Google it—the details will make your hair stand up on end.
Republicans don't want to stop at wresting Gilead straight outta Atwood’s The Handmaiden’s Tale—they are using Orwell’s 1984 as an instruction manual to set up a theocratic serfdom—in America.
America, folks!
Republicans now say the Great American Experiment didn't quite work out because all the women folk and darkies got a bit too uppity with all that talk about liberty, equality, and free will.
All those things were just for pale-skinned brotha’s.
Now, they gotta reset things back to normal. As a result, they plan to take everything back and insert God in all kinds of crevices and spaces—including schools and a woman’s uterus.
Praise be to Cheeto!
But, yeah, let's all get on with freaking out about Biden having a cold and not feeling well, as if only old people get sore throats or have an off day and shit.
Oh My God, humanity—why?
I can’t with the world sometimes.
Libbie hot takes say it all!
Below are a few of my favorite takes from the debate's outcome. They were pithy and brilliant because it would appear a good portion of clever folk tend to lean left and have shit like compassion and care for others guiding them…
Noteworthy takes:
It’s maddening that if Joe Biden messes up just one fact, the press will write him off as hopelessly demented — but as long as Donald Trump manages not to take out his dick and wave it around on live TV, the press will give him a pass — Jeff Tiedrich

Yuh, what they said.
At the end of the day, I am not voting for people who think slavery was some kind of beneficial jobs program—nor do I want people at the helm who would kill 10-year-olds by forcing them to have rape babies.
I don’t care if Biden face-planted five minutes into the debate and started talking to Great Ceasar’s Ghost—if he is what we have going into the election, then I am voting for him. At worst, Kamala Harris will take the helm if Biden can’t continue, and that is not a bad thing.
Flipside—our daughters, mothers, and aunts will get more time in prison than men who would rape them, simply for having abortions.
As a reminder of where SCOTUS stands:
It’s a humanitarian no-brainer.
Vote blue, ya’ll... please.
I agree. So he had a cold and felt like shit.
Colds are common, but they can really bum you out.
There is something off with all this hysteria.
I've had a really bad cold: it messes with your mind. But my friends didn't abandon me!
You want a convicted felon? Do you want Trump?
Or is it vanity? Don't want to be seen with
Biden?
Get off your high horses and suspend judgment.
Yes, Biden sounded tired. He’s got a whirlwind schedule and just traveled back to the US. Who wouldn’t be tired? I understand he has a head cold; that explains it. He and his administration are doing everything they can on multiple fronts to save the world for us (literally save the world!)
But why anyone (other than the Repubs) would think the Democratic Party should change candidates is beyond me. Biden is quite sharp and very experienced. We already know this from his state of the union address and other public events. . And should he have a future off day, he’s got a wonderful VP, cabinet, and staff that keep everything moving along. This is the frickin’ “dream team!” Trump is a nightmare. There is NO better choice than keeping Biden in office, and making sure tfg gets his days in court to be held accountable.
I hope if people take ONE thing from that debate, it is that Trump REFUSED TO GIVE A ONE WORD “YES” or “NO” THAT HE WOULD ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THE NEXT ELECTION AND CONDEMN POLITICAL VIOLENCE!! He hedged on both!! So the answer is no, he would not accept results if he loses and he supports violence on his behalf. It is clear as day, and it should disqualify him from holding any office anywhere and anytime.
Biden and his team (Kamala the VP, Blinken, and especially rock star “Mayor Pete” as Transportation Secretary!), has met or outperformed my every expectation of a successful administration. There is more to do. My lord, what they could accomplish if the Republicans would not play “spoiler” all term!
