'This is desperation': Joe blasts Republicans for wondering if Biden will be jacked up at debate

Similarly, House Speaker Johnson questioned if Biden would be on energy drinks during the debate. The Morning Joe panel discusses this line of questioning from Republicans.

Just imagine the collosal depth of stupidity it takes to imagine that being "jacked up on Mountain Dew, or whatever it is" could serve as a temporary cure for dementia.

Uh ... who kept falling asleep during his criminal trial in New York?

If trump is serious about the drug test he should prove it by submitting to one first, by an independent testing facility of Biden's choosing.

Side bar...Put the constitution on the walls of schools so the students can read what the REAL law of this country says about the proper role of religion in politics.

Mike the Bible thumper is one of the worst Trump stooges

[markdel]

Let me rephrase that. All Real Americans are jacked up on seeing Trump in prison!

Being 'jacked up' doesn't give one the ability to have the correct answer, bozo!

Blathering for 2 hours is not the same as experienced debate.

[knockshinnoch]

Mike Johnson sure gives off creepy serial killer vibes...

[shellane]

Trump might talk 2 hrs on end on his rallies...but he talks crap and nothing of substance.

I know of a professor who was around 90, frail looking and you could think he drops dead any moment. But sometimes he still made a lecture about his scientific subject and you could really see how he almost physically rejuvenated while doing his speech, almost looking and acting as if he was 60 again. If you really are into something with all your heart and soul like Biden, then this works better then any drug.

[chaschan]

The insanity of these people is beyond belief.

Rump needs tested. They said he was taking stuff while on the Apprentice. A few staff members have said its true.

Excuses why President Biden is going to mop the floor with Trump

[moxy]

trump doesnt have time to practice for the debate, he is busy negotiating with Melania for her to turn up

[LP-ctnk]

The only test Trump and his fans should be clamoring for is an MRI and a full cognitive work up (not that lil 5 minute test he brags about) after his idiotic ramble about sharks and electric boats

[slamdunk]

The whole country needs to be on anti-depressants given where we are in politics today
