​ 🐘 ​​ 🐴 ​2020 Presidential Debates thread - 2nd Debate October 15 (1 Viewer)

Naaa not even close to that.

To truly understand what I am talking about you really owe it to yourself to check out The Social Dilemma on Netflix. 

It will blow your mind when you understand what I mean about regulation. Totally different animal from censorship.

I am a musician and video game addict....I am not an advocate for restricting art, expression etc. 

When you watch this documentary you will understand what I mean about regulation on companies like Facebook and Google and it also spreads down to Snap, Instagram and Twitter. They are all following the model in what I am talking about. It goes far deeper than what you think I mean.
I've watched the first 20 min or so of it.    About to the part where they discuss how two people with the same friends list but opposite views will get drastically different feeds based on what they've shown they're more into.   I'll watch the rest and see what else they get up to.  Doubt I find your language of "blight" and "plague" and "end of society" as non hyperbolic though.  You're way over the top with that.

Actually......not over the top. In the next 20 years I pray we can reverse the course we are on as a society and the current state of social media completley brainwashing people at the pace it is. 

The threat is so real. And ignorance of it will lead to our society truly crumbling and democracy as we had known it completely under attack right now.....and if you cannot see that...I do not even know what to say.

Why is the Biden campaign reneging suddenly? Preparing for the Biden pull out?

Ebony Bowden@ebonybowden

NEW: Joe Biden’s campaign agreed to an inspection for electronic ear pieces at tonight’s debate several days ago but are now declining, a source familiar tells me

https://twitter.com/ebonybowden/status/1310975414878248961?s=21
So you believe anonymous sources?
Give the guy a break. Just because he was wrong about one conspiracy, that doesn't mean that he's wrong about this one.

I think they will flake on the in person debate and demand a teledebate so they can load up Biden’s teleprompter in the basement with the answers.
I think Pelosi and the Democrats are setting this up to pull Biden out of the actual debate
Pelosi knows this guy can’t show up to a debate.
No way Biden’s handlers ever let him  debate President Trump.
No way they allow him to debate President Trump. 
 
The ear piece stuff is dumb, but Pelosi plainly and unambiguously stated she thought Biden should not debate Trump. Not sure why you're dunking on Widbil83 for taking the Speaker's words at face value.

Pelosi’s point wasn’t due to Biden having dementia, or frankly, anything to do will Biden at all.

Pelosi doesn't control Biden. She is free to have her opninion though

No one is saying Pelosi controls Biden. But it's hardly a conspiracy, to use Scooter's word, to suggest Biden wouldn't debate when a leader in his own party was calling for him not to show up.

Note that two of Widbil's predictions came before Pelosi's statement.

Also, as a former English major, I'd say that you're stretching the definitions of "plainly," "unambiguously" and "Speaker's words" -- if you read Pelosi's quote, what she actually said was "I don't think there should be any debates." By phrasing it as "she thought Biden should not debate Trump" and then adding "Speaker's words", you are subtly inviting the reader to infer that Pelosi said something different than what she actually said.

The "conspiracy" part is where Trump supporters think that Pelosi and/or Biden's "handlers" would force Biden to back out of the debate and/or change the venue to his basement.

We both agree the prediction was wrong (well, I guess we've still got a few hours lol). My only point of contention is that it was somehow a conspiracy.

As to your second paragraph. Come on man. Talk about stretching.

Biden should throw out the stormy daniels tax evasion charges every so often.  Trump has no rebuttal for that.  Will throw Trump off.  Any defense is a bad one.
 

Cheating on wife with a pornstar then cheating on taxpayers by writing it off.  Lot of ways to work it in.

Will play well with suburban white women.  Talk about Trumps “lovers” as he likes to say.

I’ve had him on ignore for sometime.

I believe spamming my posts on the board from back in May and posting them in here is against the rules though. At least it is if you’re a Trump supporter.

She's on record during numerous interviews since then, as recently as Friday, saying Biden should not debate Trump.  

 
Judging by his rallies, Trump has stamina for days.
Then better check him for drugs...one thing is clearly obvious...Biden is in far better physical shape than Trump.  Its not even close.  The guy can't walk down a ramp, needs to take golf carts everywhere when normal people are walking...

Not really spamming...it was one post where he showed where you were dead wrong multiple times in predicting Biden wouldn't debate...paired with your latest post speculating they were trying to pull out.

 
Oh, Biden’s team. I’ll blindly believe that. 
Remind me again what this has to do with Biden needing breaks? Which by the way, you have not addressed here at all. Do you not find the request odd at best if not worrisome? 
Why not believe it...they were the people in the room...also sure that someone could refute them and prove them wrong so it would not be very wise to just lie about that (we will leave such things to Trump).

Seems it has to do with the debates and conditions being put out there...since this is, you know, the debate thread.

What needs to be addressed...Im unaware if he will be wearing a mask...no, I don't find the request for a few breaks while talking that much to be that much of a worrisome request.  Why would I?

Do you find it worrisome Trump wants things to not be mentioned?  Do you find it worrisome his inability to walk down a ramp?  To walk distances that others are walking and needing to take a golf cart?

Maybe he wants to meet Hunter in the bathroom so he can get a little boost for the next session.

The story was denied by Biden's team. Not much point in discussing it beyond that.

😂 Yes, Biden would never lie.

If Biden is on the stage with with no one within 20 feet of him, why would he wear a mask?

I think there’s things that both candidates don’t want mentioned, I have no idea if Trump requested it of Matthews or not. It cracks me up how you use a 10 second video of trump walking down a ramp one time and you keep referring to it over and over in different threads. Please provide some examples of using a golf cart because I have no idea what you’re talking about. I see people at their lake homes using golf carts all the time. They simply do not want to walk or I guess they must be disabled or something?

Biden didn't say it...his team did.  And could easily be refuted if it was not true...doesn't seem like it has even been denied (unlike the report about breaks seems to have been denied).

Im not sure...politics and optics...he may...I was just saying I was unaware.

If it was just that one time on a ramp...you would have a point.  That was not the only issue with his walking or not walking though.  Not even close.  G7...every other world leader walking...Trump took the cart.

This isn't news that he physically may have some issues and is pretty much out of shape.

 
CBS/YouGov poll: Why will you watch the debate?

73% To see how my candidate does
41% For the entertainment
8% It will be the only thing on TV
6% I’m still deciding who to vote for

now that is LOL.

I needed that.

reminds me of the comment in here in the boxing thread where a guy mentions Mayweather warming up on his ex-wives before the bout.

 
I can only imagine the shock on Biden’s face right about now when his handlers just told him about the Russia news. What’s the play here, distance yourself from Obama/Hillary or throw John Brennan under the bus? Tonight is going to be amazing.  :popcorn:

 
Child, please.
Not very excellent...his point was correct.  Pelosi's statement was clearly about Trump's behavior and the pointless nature of watching him just lie about everything.

Are you talking about the dossier of Russian disinformation that was released by Lindsay Graham today? I thought you guys automatically dismissed that sort of thing?

Or is disinformation A-OK as long as it helps "your" side?
