Voting trends are being thrown for a loop with Biden v. Trump II
Younger votes trending to Trump is probably going to increase with the new SS rules.
Biden splitting older voters is interesting.

What a dumb election. At least in 4 years we'll get candidates who aren't mentally incompetent. I hope.

It took 8 years of W to get a black president. It took 8 years of smugness under Obama to get a Trump. What will we get next.

This true? Because as someone who worked in TV, he's not wrong if the delay is that long. Not saying they will, but they could, and there's genuinely no reason why the delay would need to be that long. If anyone on Trump's team has the slightest clue, they'll be live streaming from the audience, recording, or even having Trump live stream it. There is precedent for that. Some guy in Australia went on Jim Jefferies show, JJ is extreme left and the guest was not. The guest recorded the interview on his own phone and then showed the footage after the heavily edited interview was aired. It showed exactly how JJ's people tried to make it look like the guy was saying all sorts of terrible things.
When caught they tried to act like the guy was the villain for secretly recording the interview.

Why did the Biden team say no drug testing for the debate? So fucking strange.
Why are no reporters allowed into the room to watch?
How does this circus continue getting weirder and weirder?

Is there any reason to not think it's to cover up if either one (but we know it's biden) of them pass out, or go full word-salad?
I also heard no audience.
Is there anyone out there who is saying, "No, this is a really good sign?" Because those are the paid shills.

There really is no legit excuse for not having anyone else in the room and the two minute delay.
It's like they're intentionally stirring the conspiracy theory plot.
Here's an easy one: All of Biden's answers were shot this week, while he's been "preparing" for the debate.

30 minutes in, Biden's Adderall is already wearing off.
Joe Biden lost his train of thought while trying to make a point about tax rates and the number of billionaires in America.
Biden trailed off and looked down before mumbling about COVID and saying something to the effect that “we finally beat Medicare.”
When he tried to come back to finish his point, moderator Jake Tapper cut him off because his time was up.

He didn't get a fresh hit during the commercial break.
During a response to a question about abortion, Biden mentioned, seemingly out of nowhere, a young woman who was recently murdered by an immigrant — an apparent reference to a 12-year-old Houston girl who was strangled to death, allegedly by two Venezuelan men who entered the country illegally.
The connection to abortion was unclear.

The AP is live blogging, basically.
In first half hour of debate, a raspy Biden has delivered rambling answers that sometimes trail off as he defends his policies and record.
Trump has countered with falsehoods on issues including the economy, abortion and NATO members’ defense spending.
The two have also exchanged deeply personal attacks.

That CNN tweet doesn't address the claim. You can start it on time and call it live, but still be on a delay. Plus, ALL live TV is on a delay.
I would wager there was likely a longer delay than normal, but maybe not 2 minutes. This would be in anticipation of a lot of muting of Trump.
Here's another fun fact: Did you know that networks steal portions of the shows you watch? They, literally, remove frames so they can sneak in more advertisements. True story. You could watch an unedited version of a show next to the edited version and you'd never notice the difference aside from one seemingly being played faster than the other. It's not. It's just the missing frames.
Reddit doesn't think it's going well for Biden.

What kind of yokel doesn't renew their passport six months before it expires?
In an awkward moment after moderators tell Biden his time to answer a question is up, he continues, “And by the way,” but doesn’t finish the thought.

Democrats are deeply concerned about Biden’s performance so far.
He came into the debate hoping to project energy and strength given concerns about his age. Privately, at least, Democratic officials suggest that he’s failing to meet even somewhat low expectations.
Democratic officials were pointing to a social media post from former Obama campaign aide Ravi Gupta.
“Every Democrat I know is texting that this is bad,” Gupta wrote on X. “Just say it publicly and begin the hard work of creating space in the convention for a selection process. I’ll vote for a corpse over Trump, but this is a suicide mission.

They're 100% going to replace Biden with him at the convention.

Three months before the election seems like an awfully short time to run someone I've never even heard of.
