I just signed up for Damus purple.

I don't agree with everything he says. I don't like his editing style. But his conclusion is spot on. The Trump Biden Debate is a Crisis For America via #[1]

Zapped #[1] 20,000 sats for Damus.

Hey! What happened to the #[1] ?

The Debate: Trump was recognizably Trump -- though perhaps a bit more reserved and focussed than usual. Biden was a pale shadow of his former self. Frail. Halting. Confused. Addled. Almost unrecognizable from the fiery joke-and-gaffe peddling VP he was under Obama. When I saw Biden walk in and heard his mumbling answers my jaw almost hit the floor. I grabbed the armrests of my chair and leaned forward in bug eyed amazement. Jesus! I had not expected _that_! The media panic is palpable. Virtually every previously staunch defender of Biden who backed the "Cheap Fake" narrative, from Morning Joe Scarborough, to the ladies of the View, have thrown Biden under the bus demanding a new candidate. The media have tried to accuse Trump of lying and lying and lying; but that's not what I saw. Biden certainly told a bunch of whoppers, like no troops were killed on his watch, or the tired old "very fine people" baloney that even Snopes has had to debunk. But Trump, while often vague and/or hyperbolic (recognizably Trump) provided a set of facts that match observation. Yes, Afghanistan was a disastrous embarrassment. Yes, illegal immigration is a horrific problem. Yes, inflation is horrible. Yes, under Trump we had a stronger border. Yes, there were no wars under Trump. Yes, the economy was much better under Trump. Yes, we were energy independent under Trump. The list goes on. The bottom line, from my point of view is that Trump won the debate on _substance_. Had Biden's delivery been more youthful and energetic, he still would have lost on the substance.
