Broadcast Signal Accidentally Picks Up Two Old Men Yelling At Each Other Instead Of Presidential Debate
U.S.—Many were looking forward to the presidential debate tonight, hoping to thoughtfully consider each candidate's position so they could make a wise, informed decision about who to vote for in this year's election.babylonbee.com

Don't be scared, once we hit the bottom there's no where else to go but up.
It's like they tailor fit designed the rules to allow that guy to lie as much as humanly possible unhindered for 2 hours.
Couldn't have gotten a more favorable chunk of programming even if they just rebroadcast one of his rallies. Basically just handed him the job.
Tee Up The Vote 2024
Double bogey!
Real talk: what the fuck is the point of the debate anyway? I didn't watch but I would bet money that there was no "debating" actually going on. Shouldn't the moderators jump in and be like "actually, fuck face, that's a complete lie and here's the proof," or are they just too lazy to do it every 20 seconds he opens his mouth?

If politicians weren't allowed to lie they'd have to find real jobs, lol.
There was a lot of hubbub leading up to it because CNN said that they would be fact-checking in real time, and his people didn't like it.
Once the action started I noticed basically no on screen graphics or citations. Then every once in a while they would scroll a tape saying you had to go on the website to follow the fact checking in real time. LOL who on Earth was going to do that?

It's just theater; lights, noise, and smoke. Dancing around the fire of massive, monumental topics and having a schoolyard argument about it. A popularity contest.
National news via television is garbage and CNN is only a few degrees better than Fox and last night showed how low they can go these days. Like international dirtbag Roger Stone once said, “Politics is showbusiness for ugly people”.
What a fucking mess
At this point in time I think the debates are absolutely pointless, thanks to trump and the republican party. They've ruined any possibility for having an actual decent debate and not have it resort to mudslinging.
Now it's like a weird hybrid of old men shouting and WWE. In a bad way.

CNN changed their tune, now saying the other candidate should have done the fact checking which would have been good if the other candidate wasn't acting like they left their barely functioning brain in another zip code.
Old people retire for good reasons. Why we let them run our country at the highest levels is beyond me. You're just about to die. There is no legit reason you should be in charge of anything or making policy that will affect the rest of us all for decades.
