US Politics - 2020 Presidential Election - GOP v Dem cage fight (ENTER AT YOUR PERIL)

[Whitley]

Democrats are going to impeach Trump again to stall that. Alls fair...

Instead of that longshot BS. Pelosi should use the debt ceiling to force the Senate not to have a confirmation before the next president takes office.

Lindsey Graham was literally quoted saying there’s no way they’d confirm a Republican justice in an election year, never mind 45 days before an election.

Gutless, opportunistic cowards. American politicians is a cesspit. I remember when both sides would confirm judges.

This is sad.

This is the BS that you get when public servants are being taught and trained as if they are in the military. And given broad authority and autonomy. Make a "mistake" and kill someone unnecessarily? Nah, just an honest mistake. Who hasn't made a mistake?

Fu(k that.

.... it’s called politics. Generally both sides have flipped views from 2016. Oh well.

2016 Ds presidential nominee Hillary Clinton quote from the third presidential debate:
“I would hope the Senate would do it’s job and confirm the nominee that President Obama has sent. That’s the way the Constitution fundamentally should operate. The President nominates and then the Senate advises and consents or not. But they go forward with the process.”
- October 19th, 2016.

That was before the GOP had set a precedent and publicly stated that they had set a precedent. Then they instantly reneged in almost identical but even more glaring circumstances.

I hope the Democrats win the election and the Senate and pack the court.

Yeah that won't happen even if they win the Senate. Too many corporate establishment in the Dem party.

What an absolute douchey child Donald Trump is. A total embarrassment to the United States. Constantly interrupting Biden, interrupting the moderator, talking over answers and then pretending not to know Biden’s non bone spurred dead son to bring up his other son’s cocaine addiction.

An awful person.

[dpatnod]

What a powdered clown show.

[DanO]

I didn't watch it. I taped it but after reading several things from people I doubt I will watch it.

[Marko69]

Yep. Shocked is an understatement. This is the most powerful nation on the planet being watched by everyone on the planet. A fucking joke. WTF has happened? 🤦♂️

[TheLondonLion]

It was painful to watch. Trump jumping into every single answer so it was just a shouting match. Terribly moderated by Wallace.

[-Deborah-]

We tried watching it. It was unwatchable. What a dark time in history for the U.S.

[chemiclord]

About the only thing Trump was right about in that entire debate was that the Democrats would be just as shameless with an open Supreme Court seat if the positions were reversed.

Beyond that, he was just a wall of noise bleating incoherently at will from his sound hole. It was like watching someone trying to emulate 8chan in real time.

Anyone who saw that "presentation" from the president and liked what they saw... ugh.

[TheLondonLion]

I feel like Biden should’ve been more assertive in shutting down Trump’s constant interruptions.

”you get two minutes, then I get two minutes - stop interrupting me and wait for your turn.”

Trump’s insecure faux alpha act may have fooled some Americans. Hopefully not many beyond his base.

Next time they will have to cut Trump’s microphone off.
