    Typically, I don't watch these things but I may make a bowl of popcorn and watch this one.

    Looking to see what Joe shows up

    I came in about 10:00pm EDT
    How is the political chit show going?
    Minds that really do not care about the selection process for "King" are tiny bit curious.

    I watched it and I was ready to scream for the two of them to shut up at one point. I got sick of Biden saying "here's the deal"

    Joe Biden Says ‘InshAllah’ in Dig at Trump During First Presidential Debate
    29 Sep 2020206


    Former Vice President Joe Biden said “Insh’Allah” during the first presidential debate — a popular Arabic expression meaning “God willing.”
    Biden interjected when President Donald Trump was talking about his taxes. He promised to release his 2016 tax return, once an ongoing audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had ended. (A recent New York Times article about Trump’s taxes confirmed that he has, in fact, been under a years-long audit.)As Trump was pressed by moderator Chris Wallace to say when he would release his taxes, Biden interrupted: “When? Insh’Allah?” He chuckled at his own joke.

    “Insh’Allah” does not refer specifically to a time in the future. It is more of an expression of hope that something anticipated will happen.
    In an article for Arab News in 2015, Ibrahim Al-Ammar wrote that people should not “fear” the phrase:
    It’s part of every Muslim’s daily vocabulary, as we are taught by Islam not to make definitive statements about the future, since only God knows what will happen. This means that if someone asked me to provide him with something, instead of “I will give it to you today” I should say: “I will give it to you today, Insha Allah.”
    Unfortunately, Al-Ammar noted, the phrase has become synonymous with procrastination.
    Biden’s use of the phrase may be the first in any presidential debate.
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
    “As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”

    "You think a wall as solid as the earth separates civilisation from barbarism. I tell you the division is a sheet of glass."

    Yes, Trump should have held back more in the beginning with the interrupting. But this was the most poorly moderated debate I have ever seen. Shame on you, Chris Wallace. Even your liberal father must be rolling in his grave. The bias was breathtaking. Ask Trump about taxes but don't ask Biden about Hunter????? Trying to force Trump to speak about white supremacists, SAY IT, SAY IT, just like BLM does to people. And then another SAY IT, SAY IT moment about climate change being related to man's behavior. Hey Chris and Joe, why won't you discuss China's polllution? Your good friends, the Chinese. Unbelievable

    Joe's eyes never looked so black. Stepford wives black. What's going on? Sometimes he'd get that look of panic on his face. What's going on?

    Trump had some good moments. Joe had to bring up his son, Beau. Try to redeem the Hunter situation. Trump should have said, "we thank Beau for his service" and then launch into the Hunter problem. But he made his point. "You ain't gonna hide behind Beau, Joe"


    THE END ISN'T NEAR.........IT'S HERE

    The problem is not global warming – it is moral cooling.

    My adult daughter left a text stating it was just like watching two children bickering.
    In the end, that is what politicians do.
    Man will only be considered "Civilized" when he learns to reject the idea of government.
    Man (male and female) can not delegate to another or another group "rights" that he does not himself possess.
    In order for government to exist, it must continuously break every single Commandment given by the Creator God.
    I would not watch such a chit show as I have better ways to waste my time.
    At 64, it is better for my mental well being to read comics on line.

    I had no plans to watch and did not watch knowing I could learn everything I needed to know about it after seeing a few forum comments the next morning. A good night's sleep is worth more than staying up late to endure that.

    Biden won the debate.
    Not because he had good points and made them well.
    But because he was lucid setting aside the dementia arguments.

    Trump couldn't control himself.

    His plan may have been to disrupt Joe but that failed
