Can we talk about how Trump was a shit show during the debate too, or is this just Biden was too old only? For example, his answer for how he would help people suffering from fentnlyl addiction was not related to the subject and when the moderators re asked he said they got a dog. One dog. Biden pointed out there was a bipartisan bill to fund detection machines that Trump killed. Sure it was hard for him to get it out in an amazing orator way, but he did, and that was just one example. Everything has been Biden shit show, but where is the actual nuance here? Not everything last night was on Biden, and he did get some zingers off... And trump was a nightmare
Absolutely.
I won't even go off about "both sides".
Exactly as was expected, he's constantly in the public eye, everyone knew what he was going to be like.
Like, if you open a septic tank and it's full of shit, no one is going to be surprised.
If your boss opens the door to his office and it's full of shit, people are gonna mention it.
I think most people expected Trump to be a blathering insane idiot and so when he avoids questions to rant about something nonsequitor and bizarre its "normal". Anyone with all their mental faculties should be able to run circles around someone like Trump.
People are disappointed that Biden is in such shambles as they were hoping he'd be able to debate against a brain-worm ridden bigoted chatterbox and he dropped the ball so fucking bad and now they're worried about the future of democracy in the country
