why agree to a 9 PM debate then

[-] orangejuche@hexbear.net 34 points 3 days ago

Hubris, the handlers wanted to prove that he could do it. They failed horribly.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Minimally competent handlers would have scheduled some state visit to a vastly different time zone right before. Have him spend a week in a place where local 1 PM is 9 PM eastern time, then ship him back while his brain still works.

He spent the week prior to the debate prepping for it at camp David lmao

The last thing they wanted and want is for the public to hear "sundowning" and "Biden" in the same sentence. And even though Biden liked like dog shit in the debate - as far as I know no lib pundits have mentioned the s word. And I doubt many right-wing pundits have either. Their guy is world salad city on a good day.

9PM East Coast time?

(I'm bad at time math maybe I'm wrong.) Wouldn't that allow all mainland USA timezones to view the debate live?

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

that's what I assumed, yea, Eastern

Kim Jong Un said Biden ought to be put down like a rabid dog, but I think that's giving him too much credit. It's more like a 24 year old dog infested with tumors that visibly pains at every step.

But also that dog hates Palestinians

It's wild they didn't just record the debate in the morning. There was no audience, no one would have known.

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 52 points 3 days ago

I mean, the Trump campaign would need to agree with that and agree to keep it a secret along with them.

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 41 points 3 days ago

Trump would have negotiated to have it live; there's no reason he'd want the networks to have time to fact check for the broadcast.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago

Right but that would have been easier to explain away than 90 minutes of being the sleepiest man alive.

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 46 points 3 days ago

...But...there's NO advantage to the Trump campaign agreeing with that. They want voters to see 90 minutes of Biden being the sleepiest man alive, so they'd never agree and they'd probably make a scandal of the Biden campaign even asking. So, like, they can't just do that.

Not to mention CNN would also have to agree, and everyone would have to be sure there would be no leaks of this big secret that it was recorded ahead of time, which is impossible. There's just no way to do it.

Old-timey horserace voice: "They're comin' around the turn. They're comin' around the turn. Old Man Biden has mistepped! He's misstepped!... Trump Train up by a head... Now Old Man Biden is speeding up..."

Aides told Axios.

They're foaming the runway for an evitable larger crash. They must be hoping and praying they can get the old codger across the finish line also known as election day.

Just give him the same meth they give trump, you'll get at least a month from him
