I was a bit taken aback by Joe Biden's "debate" performance. However, Trump spew of lies confirmed my support for President Biden. There was almost no push back from Tapper or Bash in the constant lies uttered by Trump. They did not try to hold Trump to answering the questions. There was no push back on the claims on Tariffs which cost the American people. Trump refused to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election despite over 60 lawsuits Trump lost. Trump denied he conspired with those who attacked the Congress on January 6, 2021. FALSE that Trump offered troops to repel the attacks on the Congress. Trump falsely denied that he refused to interfere while the attack was ongoing despite many people who asked Trump to order support for the Capitol Police.
The economy has been the result of Corporate malfeasance that have lowered prices to the farmers while reporting record profits. Despite that, President Biden has reduced inflation inherited from TRUMP. President Biden can continue to improve the economy and address climate issues.
This is directed to those who may feel dismay and those who still have hope following the debate. For those who say, “we’ve lost” or “Biden cannot stay in the race,” I hope that you will hold on a little longer. I am sorry your hope was so easily dashed. To those who are hanging on I say, it is not our hope that will keep D. J. Trump out of the presidency, it is our strength. Nobody says that this monumental campaign is going to run smoothly with no bumps in the road. President Biden, after multiple trips around the world, with a cold and a week of being subjected to his campaign staffers’ angst and push on debate issues, came and underperformed. This is one debate. Other presidents have bombed in a debate and went on to win their races. Take a breath and relax.
We all grow older; it is the human condition. It does not make us less effective in our decision making, it just takes a little more time. Biden’s decision-making strength comes from his weighing the numbers, the effects on people and our economy, and a multitude of other things. When asked a question he processes a lot, and processing and verbalizing in a two-minute window is a challenge for anyone, especially for an older individual.
Spewing lies is a much easier task. Which was done, as expected, but with no pushback from the moderators, other than a three time repeat of original, unanswered questions, by Diana Bash. I refuse to go into the fact checking Trump in this comment, I’ll leave that to the professionals.
Remember what a dark hole we are viewing in Trump’s Project 2025 plan. I plan to work for the elections of Biden and Harris, and every clear-thinking Democrat up and down the ballot. I accept the bombed debate outcome of this one debate and will move forward, as I sincerely hope all of you will as well.
NOTE: In the next debate, if it happens, I think that the inclusion of notes, on cards or paper, and a three-minute response time would be helpful. While muting the mic was a well-intended addition, it did not mute a debater from making himself be heard on the stage. This was unfortunate, particularly when someone was spewing lies, although it did make the audience’s listening atmosphere calmer.
Trygve, I appreciate your calm demeanor in this political storm we are in. We are behind you, and I will continue to donate monthly. Thanks for your concern for our state and country.
Sorry Dood - i'm afraid you are dead wrong on the "Joe must Go" topic. Biden apologists are saying
"he had a cold" "he will be better next time" EXCUSE ME !! he did not have a cold - that is just a lie !!
Another LIE in a long string of LIES beIng foisted on the american people by the democratic cabal pimping Joe Biden on the American people ! the American people DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS !!
WAKE UP DOOD !! when someone shows you who they are - BELIEVE THEM ! when someone tells you who they are - BELIEVE THEM !! Joe Mumbles the GENOCIDAL BABYKILLER
showed us who he was - Joe mumbles told us who he was..., AND the American people DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS !!
The Democratic party has an easy road to retaining the white house, But they need a competent MESSENGER & that is NOT JOE BIDEN !! the Democratic party needs a messenger to carry their message, to hammer the message home. That is not Joe Biden ! Maybe you didn't watch the debate ?
Genocide Joe the BabyKiller is NOT gonna be "better next time" He is gonna be the same weak - incoherent - confused stuttering MORON ! and probably worse than he was wednesday night !!
The American people deserve better than this !!! and if he does not swallow his pride and his bruised & battered ego, and DROP OUT of the race, he will DOOM US ALL to another 4 years of DONALD J TRUMP in the white house. WAKE UP !! there are plenty of people capable of carrying the message the Democrats need to deliver - even you (another Biden apologist) can probably name a few ?
Biden is NOT the messenger we need to get this job done !!
First impressions are unforgiving & ruthless - Biden showed the world who he really is & he is not the messenger we really need. "Next time" ? there won't be a next time because genocide Joe will not dare debate trump again cuz he will only melt down into his bottomless pit of incompetence and ineptitude.
He would prove one more time that he is totally "gone" mentally. Calling him a confused, doddering
Old Man is being way too kind. He has always -ALWAYS- been a Bully !! and nearly always has been on the wrong side of history until change rolls over him and then he embraces it . Joe Biden is a
WASHED UP Political Hack !! The lies & scare tactics you and other Biden apologists embrace are not going to get the stuttering moron elected ! That is why the Democratic party needs to DUMP BIDEN & find a new effective messenger for their message. I begrudgingly voted for Biden last time - accepting him as a ONE-TERM PLACEHOLDER ! now the senile old fart insists he is the only one who can defeat Trump ?
WOT A JOKE !! with all due respect I would say WAKE UP !! Take care of business - Do what needs to be Done ! That is - do not waste your vote on this pathetic loser ! Trump Will Destroy Biden in a fair election - even if Trump is in Prison ! he will destroy Biden...,
You suddenly appeared in my Substack, unknown but wise. I love your writing and everything you stand for. I’m from South Mississippi where the Democratic Party is attempting to destroy make inroads into a state that has been red for far too many years. I believe it’s true that people will vote against their own best interests. Our greed has become insatiable and there has to be a better way. Just today the verdict from the Suprem Court on presidential immunity was announced. I am still angry and can think of nothing else. There has to be way this can be contested. It’s obvious the conservatives are bending to his will. But I plan to keep hope that one day justice will prevail but it may takes longer than I would wish. Trump is now free to take vengeance on those who stood up to him. It’s a sad day for our country.
I hope the words from “Anonymous” prove true: “Never seek revenge. Rotten fruit will fall by itself”.
Good luck to you. I’ll send love and gas money.

Trump can't or won't.

You have one choice in November: Biden. Trump will destroy whatever is left of this country with help of republicans.
This is so true.
