Trump loyalists have spent days pushing claims as to why the president may beat their low expectations at Thursday's debate.

    They need to give both as many and as much drugs as they want. If drugs will somehow make them coherent, make it a requirement. I honestly don’t see a downside. They can even advertise for the drugs and everyone still wins

      You sound like the sort of person who would really enjoy the All Drug Olympics. :-)

            The Toke-Athalon - a three stage sport involving [some thing], a 1 gram rolling and smoking race, and a round of trivia.

            Back in the day we had a regular civil disobedience event that had a game like this, but it was cannabis activism trivia, roll and smoke race, and more cannabis activism trivia. Surely there’s a better third event somewhere.

      Exactly this.

      “Sorry Mr. President, the policies you enacted during the triple hurricane saved thousands of lives, but the drug test you took beforehand were positive for mood stabilizers so we’ve invalidated your policies and everyone who was saved by them has been taken out back and shot.”

      This isn’t the fucking Olympics. But then debates are a terrible way to judge a president to begin with.

        Debates where candidates debated the actual question/issue raised were useful. Whatever we have nowadays as they talk about unrelated things and try to find their 7s soundbite are useless.

        I hate linking a probably right wing channel by the name, but it is a compilation of dozens of occasions just in the last two years. Biden is definitely not at the mental capacity to run a nuclear armed country. Neither is Trump.

        And that should alarm everyone as they both are clearly put there as puppets to be controlled.
