      I think it was his third time speaking… he was answering one question on one topic and basically accidentally started talking about something else and then was visibly confused as he realized he was making no sense.

      I am legitimately going to need to read a transcript of this to figure out wtf he was talking about half the time.

      Like… Biden was just asked if his age would impact his presidency.

      His response was to mumble about being the youngest person in politics originally, and uh we are building more chip fab plants, and America is awesome.

      Trump is now answering the same question and is actually staying on topic for his entire answer though he’s lying a bit.

      And Joe just went back to mumbling about how Trump is actually 6 foot 4, or 6 foot 5, or well anyway he couldnt carry his bag while golfing.

      Yeah… Biden is very much coming across as a near senile grandpa and Trump is coming across far more well composed.

          Jesus fucking god.

          Anderson Cooper is talking to Kamala.

          After Kamala basically explains some actual achievements of the Biden administration while refusing to address Biden’s incoherence…

          Cooper says “Yes but neither candidate explained what you just said so succinctly and quickly.”

          This is after Kamala has been stalling for almost an hour. When she comes in screen she’s twirling her hair nervously and does it again, unable to even crack her immensely fake smile a single time.

          MSNBC and CNN basically are either in shock or reporting on the entire Democratic party being in shock.

          With MSNBC, after most of the panel talks about the possibility of Biden resigning Maddow just got into an argument with some other talking head over whether or not its possible for Biden to bow out, as the other person says yeah it actually is technically possible.

          To sum up, Cooper asked Kamala if Joe is like this all the time.

          She did not say no.

          What an astounding fuck up.

          The fact that Trump jumped on that so quickly while Biden sounded like he couldn’t even remember his scripted debate prep means he needs to step aside. The press should be asking him at this point why he wants Trump to win the election.

        To be fair, I’m in my thirties and can’t make it through a full story without veering off and getting lost as well. ;)

        It was real difficult to watch, though. As a parent, I fear for my children’s future. I’d love to bounce, but where is there to go? The US has screwed the entire planet.

      They both were bad. Biden with the stumbling of words, Trump with the lying and going off on tangent. Both kept losing focus, too.

      The adderal or whatever they were giving him for the 2020 debates would kill him now.

        Tried watch it fucking CNN gave Trump fucking shit load of talking time and Biden barely got twenty second. And fucking Trump didn’t even answer the question just went on a fucking rant about China.

          Moderator: (asking Trump for the second time) Will you accept to results of the 2024 election, yes or no? **yes, or no? **

          Trump: (continues to go off tangent)
