I was out playing board games and planned on catching up on the debate tomorrow. Did the onion do their own thing I need to watch too?

Honestly do yourself a huge favor and don’t watch it. 99.9% of it was disgustingly depressing. Trump’s H2O comment was about the only thing that was funny.

Yeah both of them were terrible. Basically a giant waste of time.

Tried to watch it - couldn't. Orange felon went full Gish gallop and moderators let him. Biden was overwhelmed with bullshit.

Yep I watched for 2-3 minutes and turned it off. Trump spewing orange diarrhea and Biden distracted by scanning the audience for the Grim Reaper.

In all seriousness, Biden clapped back harder in the second half and had some great parts where he actually outlined some good shit for the future and what he's gotten done in the past. Hopefully, the next debate is during the day when it's sunny and he's not sick with a cold.

He should stick to the overarching points in debates in the future. 2-3 points, speak slower, more measured, smile when his idiot opponent shoots himself in the foot by rambling.
