[Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

[Withdean South Stand]

I guess there is a little more context to it than this! Philadelphia is a Democrat stronghold, and in parts of it they have just introduced restrictions on personal water use to cope with the heatwave. So, he's basically rambling on about the democrats imposing water restrictions. I suppose it does make some sort of sense.

Pennsville Township implements mandatory water restrictions during heat wave

In parts of South Jersey, some residents and businesses are being told to limit their water usage until further notice, including when you can and can't water your lawn and garden.

You think there's any context at all to those dribbled ramblings from a hateful cult leader whose only interest is in whipping his supporters up into a frenzy over the text book definition of absolute f*** all?

Being tortured now!

Trump mocked for claiming he was ‘tortured’ in Georgia mugshot arrest

Former US president made the claim in a fundraising email that advertised coffee mugs featuring his mugshot

[Crawley Dingo]

Remember, Biden is the one losing his marbles (according to some):



I think it's always worth actually reading what he said written out to really see just how unhinged it is:


Washing machines to wash your dishes? What a time to be alive!

Its not worth reading as Trump is performative and always dropping jokes and internet tropes. If you dont "Get it" thats your problem. You may have also missed that Farage and Javier Millel are carrying on in the same manner. Its performative and memetic. It works and contrasts well with the cardboard careerist technocrat politicians.

I don’t know what the need is for this Battle of the Presidential Geriatrics.

Their 90 second sound-bites won’t change anyone’s vote, and it’s a great exercise for the broadcasting networks to sell advertising slots.

Two old liars, one egotistical convicted felon and the other just about kept standing via medical intervention, shaking ghost hands and making up history as he goes along.

These are the best two options to lead ‘the free world’, apparently. I really am looking forward to when this lot are no longer actual candidates, and hope for a bit of normalcy.

That‘s the nature of all political debates.

As far as TrumpBid, We won’t get normalcy for another 4 1/2 years because one of them is going to be President whether we like it or not (unless one or both pop their clogs before November).

I guess you have no intention in watching it but I really posted the TV info for others who’ve regularly contributed to the thread because they may appreciate the heads up as well as the opportunity to stream it live.

Personally, I think watching Trump trying not to have a conniption because his microphone’s switched off so he can’t talk over Biden when it’s not his turn nor having a live audience he can play to will be a somewhat source of amusement. As for Biden remembering everything without notes or autocues - well the whole thing could be an utterly embarrassing shambles or just boring but it will be something

I imagine you’re relatively young, and not in a patronizing way at all - my point is that not all political debates are 90 second sound bites - and they certainly were not in the past - when real debate often happened, and largely for the good and benefit of the voting public. When they worked for us - and not the other way around.

I most likely won’t watch it, I’ve lived it for the past 8 years, but for many, yes it’ll be a source of their evening entertainment, which should tell you that it’s a sad state of affairs.

I wasn’t knocking you at all for posting or giving people a heads up, absolutely not. I’m just beyond apathetic towards these two and their respective sycophants.

Trump will be dosing up on vitamin C to maintain the orange complexion whilst complaining Biden is jacked up on drugs to keep him awake.

Trump is such a fat bastard. If someone offered him a "Small weffer thin mint" it could get very messy. @presidentcreosote

If they haven't got it already, what could possibly change?

If he was asked a question about the economy, it wouldn't matter if he didn't understand it. All he'd need to do is say 'They tried to lock me up. They tried. They want to remove all borders so all the immigrants to come in and take your jobs. And they will. This country used to be great. A great great country. So big and so great. Did you hear about Biden's laptop. Very bad. Very bad. He's so old. So old."

Mr Trump your time is up.

"They don't want me to speak. They want to shut me down. It's sad. So very sad."

And his supporters will think 'Der, yeah'

 

[StonehamPark]

I’d tune in for this + Kennedy Jr with a ladder.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Looking forward to seeing the Old Gits go head-to-head tonight

 

[StonehamPark]

 

[Zeberdi]

Predictable first half of the debate - Trump using his slots to not so much to answer questions but as a soap box to launch into lying rants about Biden on immigration, Russia and witch-hunts.

Biden struggling to get his words out and clearly frustrated does not look the more physically robust - clearly losing his line of thought while Trump seems to have remembered his tv audience and started making mocking eyebrow raises at Biden’s stuttering.

Best line so far - Biden saying to Trump “you have the morals of an alley cat” and Trump calling Biden a “bad Palestine” for withholding weapons to Israel.

 

[Dick Head]

That was the most unedifying thing ever, and I watched Starmer vs Sunak.

 

[Zeberdi]

Part 2

Terrible performance from Biden overall - slight improvement in part 2 but then he lost his line of thought again - he looked shockingly old and feeble - and sometimes not coherent.

There is a meltdown in the Democratic Party tonight - serious questions that are being asked whether Biden has the stamina for a second term.

Trump won that debate hands down on physical fitness and robustness - people will not see his nasty responses or problematic answers about Putin. They won’t see Trump’s failure to address policy issues or prevarication- they will see a younger stronger man pulling apart a vulnerable old man who looked frankly too weak to compete with Trump.

Shocking performance from Biden given what is at stake.

Still time for the Democratic Convention to nominate an alternative - I think absolutely that’s what needs to happen.

Okay democrats, give me another candidate to consider (not Gavin Newsom), otherwise you’re toast…
