    I liked the part where Biden was talking about how a Green New Deal would pay for itself, and then the moderator had to remind him that he doesn’t actually support the green new deal.

    I don't think so. Trump I think said Pocahontas, but I don't even remember what the fuck they were talking about.

    The only mildly interesting part is that Trump was seemingly trying to goad Biden into saying things that would piss off the left and acknowledging it.

    Just shit like, "wow, you don't support the green new deal. You're going to lose the radical left supporters." kind of interesting, but it was the largely incoherent, babbling death rattle of an empire, may it rest in piss.

      Trump was saying Joe had a socialist agenda (lol) and Biden pointed out that he beat the socialist. Trump said not by much. If Pocahontas had dropped out of the race two days sooner Joe would have lost. So I guess Trump’s point is even if Joe won the nomination, there are a lot of “socialist” dem voters.

    I laughed at the straight up brazenness of Trump's answer on releasing tax returns - "you'll see it as soon as it's ready", i.e. the answer he's given for 5 years straight.

    Biden had some word salad moments early on, ~"out of 200 mil- thousand dead from Covid, out of those how many survived? seven?"

    The moderator yelling at them to shut up and Trump interrupting anyway like the bad kid in class was mildly amusing. No truly hilarious moment, but the contrast of PrEsIdEnTiAl DeBaTe and the childish shitshow in front of you was funny.

      Honestly I found a lot of it really hilarious. The moderator trying to be a babysitter, failing, and then basically pointing out that these babies were unsittable was a really funny shitshow decline for me.

      Also the fact that they just kept arguing with the moderator seriously cracked me up. It was a 1v2 debate by the moderator against the candidates

    There were a few moments where Trump accused Biden of wanting to do something wildly popular among the people who might consider voting Biden, like Green New Deal, Abolishing Police, cutting the military budget, taxing "job creators", following a "socialist agenda", or free healthcare, which Biden immediately denied.

    Trump implied Biden stole the nomination from Sanders and then correctly pointed out Biden needed Bernie's supporters to win so he shouldn't shit on us publicly.

    I want Trump publicly hanged as a war criminal following a people's trial, but that sack of shit understands how to keep his base happy.

    Biden denied all of this and punched left, shitting on us publicly. Good luck Joe.

    I think everyone was too drunk or high or in shock to remember much of it

      I was listening at work unfortunately, there weren’t any stand out moments in terms of enjoyment. Trump savaging Biden’s kids was funny, but he didn’t react in a funny way. I did definitely notice Biden having minor dementia moments and lots of stumbling for words. He did mention packing a car full of a multiracial soccer team, and if you listen to E1 you would also question how long the car is.

      That was a great one! (Trump said he wears a mask when needed, but made fun of Biden for wearing one all the time and wearing the biggest mask... which makes no sense.)

      Trump kept saying "[most] you've ever seen" and "like you've never seen" throughout the debate. Like boasting of appointing so many Supreme Court justices "like almost no one has seen" or something.
