As Mark Twain said, A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put on its shoes.

I read the Supreme Court's silence as being complicit with Trump overthrowing the Government!

[genemagnette]

He has spoken nd demonstrated to the world who he really is. The Snake !

[yasssgawwwd]

If Joe can do it than we should allow him. He has advisors. It should be fine.

When a Russian plane parks next to the plane of the guy who stole documents, you know where the rest of the missing documents are going.

The good thing about the debate is that it has put the Democratic Party on it's toes!

Nothing should be, from now on, taken for granted!

In an interview, Tony Schwartz, the journalist who wrote Trump’s “The Art of the Deal, ” said of Trump “Lying is second nature to him, more than anyone else I have ever met. Trump has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true."

Schwartz:, “He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it.” Since most people are “constrained by the truth, ” Trump’s indifference to it “gave him a strange advantage.”

Schwartz: " When challenged about the facts, Trump would often double down, repeat himself, and grow belligerent."

Schwartz described a man constitutionally incapable of logic, moral reasoning or self-reflection.

I was going to vote for before the debate, then 😮watching dRump continue with one lie after another now I’m voting Biden! Truth over lies. Integrity over deplorable. 🗳️💯💙🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙

[maddyrosenberg]

Thank you! If the media had spent all these years pounding t with the truth, instead of legitimizing him, we wouldn't be here right now. The 4th estate has not been doing its job as we march to authoritarianism. This is one of those times when there's really only a binary decision, vote for ANY Dem- to preserve our only chance at democracy.

Best thing McCain ever did was his thumbs down for the ACA repeal. Awesome moment.

[marilynl]

Shame on Tapper and Bash for sitting there and let him spill all those lies and said nothing.

[maryswaffordstone]

I agree totally. Thanks y’all! Let’s go for Biden-Harris ticket!

[TheJburt]

There are wise old men and evil old men.

[GrizzlysEye]

Lets just say that if the Justices give immunity to the President it would be a great time for Joe Biden to clean house, don't you think? Put all these idiots away.

[dena]

The way the disgraced ex talks badly about our country try & its citizens makes me ill! I’m happily voting blue in November! Thank you President Biden! 🕶️💪🏼

[Bagoproductions]

Please please you guys just keep Joe Biden as your presidential candidate!😅😅😅😅

[maryjanejones]

The moderators just sat and observed, pathetically. It's on them for allowing the lie bombardment to happen!

Didn’t watch the debate. Didn’t need to. I made up my mind over 30 years ago about DJT (ex-New Yorker here). Having said that, I’ve read some of the coverage. The media freak out over Biden’s debate performance basically demonstrates just how far our Fourth Estate have fallen down the rabbit hole. As a social worker who has spent a lot of time working in jails, I have dealt with a fair number of sociopaths. I can empathize with Biden. How on earth can any normal human being deal with the endless lies and gaslighting of such a one as Mango Mussolini. I remember many times when l would emerge from a session with a particularly disordered patient utterly confused and sometimes even doubting my own sanity. I can only imagine how Biden felt. Thank you, Mr. O’Donnell, for your sane, rational and yet still passionate defense of Biden. Biden has been a competent, hard-working President. DJT was a disaster the first time around: he and his minions would be a catastrophe if given a second chance, not just here but around the world as well. This is a teachable moment for our media satraps. They focus on optics, snap polls, and the opinions of their peers. They have become so inured to the tsunami of nonsense from one side that they essentially scapegoat a flawed but decent man who is actually trying to make the world a better place.

The two moderators were not receptive to DT. They should have told him that he was lying. They sat there and listened to the lies.
