Hi Late2the Party! AdLib 2 hours ago

Hi AdLib Late2theParty 2 hours ago

I don’t know that this debate will change much, I think many are watching just to see if there’s a car crash. AdLib 2 hours ago

Just for kicks, I’ll predict that Trump starts calmly then through the debate, starts getting hostile. AdLib 2 hours ago

Any predictions? AdLib 2 hours ago

Smash-and-Grab vs. Not-so-Sloppy-Joe. Imagine being undecided at this point. Late2theParty 2 hours ago

That’s a bit mind boggling. Seems that the undecided are less likely to be following the news and well informed. There’s never been a starker choice, or a choice between trashing what remains of our democracy or not. AdLib 2 hours ago

And the cliche justifications the undecided use like, “I haven’t heard enough details from either,” is more a reflection I think of that voter’s lack of information. AdLib 2 hours ago

There’ve been plenty of post mortems on the 2016 vote, but they all share a similar bent… Late2theParty 2 hours ago

It was the non-voters who decided that one. Late2theParty 2 hours ago

Plenty of “undecided” are deciding again whether to vote for Biden or boycott the choice of 2 really old white guys. Late2theParty 2 hours ago

Yep, in the end, the reduction of voters especially in the Rust Belt states doomed Hillary’s chances. AdLib 2 hours ago

Hey CL! AdLib 2 hours ago

Welcome Guest 674! AdLib 2 hours ago

Hey Ad and Late2theparty! I can stay for only a bit, but this is not an auspicious start for him is it? choicelady 2 hours ago

Trump starts off not addressing the question, claiming “we’re rounding the curve” on COVID. AdLib 2 hours ago

The word “worldwide” means “all over the world”. Learning curve. Late2theParty 2 hours ago

CL – If Trump just blathers the same campaign speech garbage like this, it’s ot going to change anything. AdLib 2 hours ago

He can’t blather more than he always does. choicelady 2 hours ago

He can’t blather LESS either! choicelady 2 hours ago

Trump has granted himself immunity. Tomorrow’s headline. Late2theParty 2 hours ago

Late2the Party – Yep! AdLib 2 hours ago

CL – Never underestimate the amount of blathering Trump is capable of. AdLib 2 hours ago

Trump is low energy, sounds hoarse and tired. AdLib an hour ago

Heading up generals? Do the GENERALS know this? choicelady an hour ago

Late – I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump also claims to walk on water. AdLib an hour ago

Biden is on it! choicelady an hour ago

Ad – he thinks he does walk on water. choicelady an hour ago

Trump is proving he lives in an alternative, phony bubble, denies COVID is going up. AdLib an hour ago

Joe isn’t in office. H1N1 was a success. choicelady an hour ago

Hey Kes! AdLib an hour ago

KES!!!! Great to see you! choicelady an hour ago

Hey AdLib, and all! I may have to be popping in and out, but just had to be here! kesmarn an hour ago

Kes – No worries, glad you’re here however you can be. AdLib an hour ago

Imagine seeing a Trump-loving soldier coming at you with a hypo in his hand promising that everything was gonna be just fine… Late2theParty an hour ago

C’lady, a sad day for women who believe in reproductive rights with the Amy Coney Barrett situation today. kesmarn an hour ago

Kes – you are so right. Barrett is a disaster and the GOP are disasters choicelady an hour ago

Late – Imagine just seeing a Trump loving soldier coming at you. AdLib an hour ago

Late – you just made me throw up a little! choicelady an hour ago

Trump is just pushing his propaganda, not helping him. AdLib an hour ago

sorry, cl Late2theParty an hour ago

Good line – we’re dying with it. choicelady an hour ago

Yes, CL. AdLib an hour ago

I must say, this debate is being conducted much better than the other. AdLib an hour ago

Ad – yes. choicelady an hour ago

She’s not jumping quickly from subject to subject, so much better. AdLib an hour ago

Hey PPO! AdLib an hour ago

hi folks! I’ll be in and out -stuff to do Reasonalbly genteel just now, Biden scoring with ‘I’m not responsible” pinkpantheroz an hour ago

PPO!!! choicelady an hour ago

So far, Biden is winning on substance. AdLib an hour ago

Ad, helps the flow to flip the off switch on the mike to the left Late2theParty an hour ago

Late – LOL!!! choicelady an hour ago

Late – Yep, that mute switch has Trump scared. AdLib an hour ago

Hi late. pleasedtameechcha pinkpantheroz an hour ago

He is willing to kill people. I’m sickened by this. choicelady an hour ago

ptmy 2 pink Late2theParty an hour ago

CL – Yes, Trump’s message, which he’s not realizing, is confirming to Seniors that he’s just fine with them dying. AdLib an hour ago

We DO have to shut down AND support those out of business and out of work. choicelady an hour ago

if he leeps killing people, there won’t be a country anyway pinkpantheroz an hour ago

Good on Biden! choicelady an hour ago

PPO – he’s killing his own base. choicelady an hour ago

So Trump’s brilliant strategy tonight was leaked ahead of time, let Biden talk because he will lose track of what he’s saying. That’s Trump projecting. AdLib an hour ago

NY word salad! Blather, yadda yadda pinkpantheroz an hour ago

NYT today ran a piece about the MAGA base being depleted by a long-term decline in white male non-college grads population… too long-term for my draconian taste, but anyway… Late2theParty an hour ago

Side shot of Trump leaning at the podium. Sign of mental issue? AdLib an hour ago

My step daughter says NYC where she lives is doing well. They are using plastic shower curtains inside and closing streets for outside dining. “We are all Americans” is a powerful statement from Biden. PA is doing very well where it’s closed. choicelady an hour ago

Trump is a fool. choicelady an hour ago

Fauci never said any such thing, choicelady an hour ago

incoming! pinkpantheroz an hour ago

Fauci never said that. choicelady an hour ago

Late – Yes, read that article and it confirms that thankfully, this demographic that put Trump in power is disappearing. AdLib an hour ago

ramb;e pinkpantheroz an hour ago

Ad – I wish, given my basic tendency toward compassion I felt sorry for his base, but I don’t. choicelady an hour ago

Trump bragging about extorting corporations for money. AdLib an hour ago

Security issue – wow. choicelady an hour ago

CL – Nope, I am not spending my concern on those who would destroy our democracy and our institutions. AdLib an hour ago

Biden – yes they will pay a price. Trump has done nothing. choicelady an hour ago

Iran. Anyone else see the repros of the e-mails they sent, telling the recipient “You will vote for Trump, or we will come to get you!” True story. Late2theParty an hour ago

Since only Trumpers believe Trump, don’t see how he can say anything to change the election. AdLib an hour ago

I have a new notebook – it’s malfunctioning. If I can’t fix it, I’m out! choicelady an hour ago

all false! pinkpantheroz an hour ago

PPO – YES all false! choicelady an hour ago

Fix it, CL! AdLib an hour ago

dribble dribble dribble pinkpantheroz an hour ago

Seems ok now. choicelady an hour ago

Biden doing well on this China/Russia exchange! kesmarn an hour ago

kes – yes on Biden! choicelady an hour ago

Still waiting to hear about Trump’s secret China bank accounts. Think he’ll tell us about it tonight? Late2theParty an hour ago

C’lady, hang in there if you can! kesmarn an hour ago

kes – working on it! choicelady an hour ago

Oh, cute – prepaid. No. choicelady an hour ago

bullshit he’ll release! pinkpantheroz an hour ago

Filing fee??? Since when does the IRS have filing fees? kesmarn an hour ago

That audit has been going on for 95 years. kesmarn an hour ago

Late – Yes, I saw the details of the emails. I thought it was obviously a fake. AdLib an hour ago

PPO – his tax releases are right down there with health care. choicelady an hour ago

This load here reminds me of when Rush was trumpeting the fact that Bob “B-1” Dornan was faxing over proof that Bill Clinton was in the employ of the Kremlin. Still waiting for that fax to arrive… Late2theParty an hour ago

Ad – Hunter’s name isn’t even on the emails. All misspelled, too. choicelady an hour ago

Good point, Late! Nice to meet you too, by the way! kesmarn an hour ago

The “pre-paying taxes” bit from Trump is BS. As is the $750 amount is ot a filing fee, there is no filinng fee paid to the IRS. AdLib an hour ago

Late – oh, damn I remember Dornan. I have such dirt on Dornan. He was a front for the forces behind Trump now. choicelady an hour ago

$750… which I think is a good price for the new Trump Water with remdesevir! Late2theParty an hour ago

Interesting, c’lady. Some of these rats have been around for a long, long time. kesmarn an hour ago

He wasn’t even president in 2016. choicelady an hour ago

OK – have to go. LOVE you all and great to see you! choicelady an hour ago

cl, those are the same “forces” that serve the Dark Emperor Cheney, no? Late2theParty an hour ago

Come back any Friday Late – nice having you here. choicelady an hour ago

Have a great evening, c’lady. kesmarn an hour ago

Trump dredging up his victimhood over being impeached, he is clearly just trying to maximize his base. AdLib an hour ago

thx cl Late2theParty an hour ago

Trump’s BS about Burisma isn’t gettiing any traction. AdLib an hour ago

I always prefer to elect a President of the U.S. who evinces the lowest and basest character assassination skills. Late2theParty an hour ago

Yes, just so you know, Late, we have a weekly live chat every Friday night at 7pm PDT, just like this. Hope you can make it. AdLib an hour ago

Thx Ad Late2theParty an hour ago

nice invite Late2theParty an hour ago

Absolutely! AdLib an hour ago

please come! pinkpantheroz an hour ago

cheers mate! Late2theParty an hour ago

So, thoughts about if this debate will make any difference? AdLib an hour ago

I always prefer to vote for a guy who sounds like he’s explaining away every single financial crime he’s ever committed as a figment of the imagination. Very inspiring. Late2theParty an hour ago

Can”t see any change. Trump is lying his way through this. Malarkey! Love it joe! pinkpantheroz an hour ago

I can’t take any more of this utter shite. JOe will win this. roll on 3rd Nov.! See you all tomorrow pinkpantheroz an hour ago

Late – The people who buy snake oil from a conman will adopt his arguments for why it works. SO Trump’s people happily gobble up his BS. AdLib an hour ago

Still waiting for Biden to throw just one lousy punch. He just stands there passively. Dukakis lost in 88 cuz he wouldn’t emote. Biden needs to show a shred of emotion, at least… imo… Late2theParty an hour ago

Late – I think as a contrast to a hostile Trump, being calm is good enough. AdLib an hour ago

Those “undecided” voters need to see him take a proactive position about something… anything… Late2theParty an hour ago

“Neutralizing” is too cerebral for those voters Late2theParty an hour ago

Once again, Trump is not answering the question on the ACA, clearly full of crap. AdLib an hour ago

Late – I would like to have Biden come out stronger against Trump but I think their research has shown people are looking for a calm alternative. AdLib an hour ago

Not that I’m about race-baiting… but how does Welker get nearly an hour into this thing without mentioning institutionalized racism? Does she think it’s of no interest to the 20 million potential black women voters? Jus’ wondrin… Late2theParty an hour ago

Late – Great point but it is one of the topics she said would be discussed tonight. I assume it’s coming up very soon. AdLib an hour ago

Biden calls it the “public” option. His researchers have ascertained that if he says “single-payer”, low-info watchers think that they themselves are the “single payer”. Tough to speak into the roar of ignorance, eh? Late2theParty an hour ago

Trump’s getting more off the rails now. AdLib an hour ago

Damn, that’s too bad. You have to drop down to the lowest common denominator because too many people are clueless and don’t understand basic things. AdLib an hour ago

Had to step away for a bit, but see that Trump is back in interruption mode again. He can only behave for the same length of time as the average toddler. kesmarn 44 minutes ago

“We only give aid to Republicans.” kesmarn 42 minutes ago

Kes – Trump has finally broken out of his “calm” act and is blathering hatred and lies now. AdLib 42 minutes ago

The inner “real” narcissist emerges. kesmarn 42 minutes ago

Unfortunately, I am not the arbitrary dictator of the universe. Late2theParty 41 minutes ago

Yes, only Repub states should get money. AdLib 41 minutes ago

finally! Late2theParty 41 minutes ago

Stats have proven that businesses do better when they pay a higher min wage. AdLib 41 minutes ago

Biden finds his voice now. Late2theParty 40 minutes ago

Late – Yes, Biden’s coming alive a bit more as Trump becomes more beligerent. AdLib 40 minutes ago

If an employer can’t afford a decent wage, he/she shouldn’t have employees. kesmarn 40 minutes ago

Biden echoes your comment, AdLib. kesmarn 39 minutes ago

Kes – Exactly because as with Walmart, taxpayers have to make up through benefits the money Walmart won’t pay. AdLib 38 minutes ago

Lie about “400 miles of wall”. Nearly all of them are replacing existing wall. AdLib 37 minutes ago

Oh yes… we should let the states that wanna run their economy like a coal mining company keep them impoverished wage slaves shopping at the company store… Great idea. Late2theParty 36 minutes ago

Trump says the kids taken from their parents are “being so taken care oof”. AdLib 36 minutes ago

Really needed that level-up from Biden tonight. Gotta get some of that moral outrage into the mix. Late2theParty 34 minutes ago

In contrast to Trump’s immoral outrage. That works for a lot of folks, I’d bet. Late2theParty 33 minutes ago

Late – Well, Trump does support the Confederacy and Nazis so keeping a form of slavery works for him. AdLib 32 minutes ago

I do wish Biden was as strong on disputing Trump with facts as other candidates showed they were but he appeals I think to a broader swath of voters. AdLib 31 minutes ago

Trump refused to talk to black people aboout “The Talk”. I knew he wouldn’t. AdLib 30 minutes ago

I’m still mildly depressed about living in a country where the voters decide who to vote for based on who they prefer as their father figure or who they prefer to have a beer with. Late2theParty 29 minutes ago

“General” election, indeed… Late2theParty 29 minutes ago

Can T ever stop thinking about himself and how persecuted he is for even 5 seconds? kesmarn 29 minutes ago

Late – I think it’s even worse than that. The Trump supporters are behind him because he hates the people they want to see hated. They want to a father figure in the sense of a king, a dictator. AdLib 27 minutes ago

Nobody has done more for the black community… with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln… Late2theParty 27 minutes ago

I wanna see that on his grave marker. Late2theParty 27 minutes ago

In the cemetery in Bittburg Late2theParty 27 minutes ago

Yes, I did a Bittburg joke Late2theParty 26 minutes ago

Too soon? Late2theParty 26 minutes ago

Kes – I don’t think Trump ever stops feeling vicitimized. AdLib 25 minutes ago

Heh! AdLib 24 minutes ago

“Some of my best friends are Black…” kesmarn 23 minutes ago

I’m glad he called the Proud Boys the Poor Boys. kesmarn 22 minutes ago

All this debate shows is that Trump is Trump. No reason for anyone to switch from Biden to Trump. AdLib 22 minutes ago

I’m going to order a Proud Boy sandwich. AdLib 21 minutes ago

Abraham Lincoln here…! Ha! Late2theParty 21 minutes ago

Very well done. On the grill. kesmarn 21 minutes ago

Biden used to be a better political pugilist but is doing fine. AdLib 20 minutes ago

Dogwhistle about as big as a foghorn! Ha! Late2theParty 20 minutes ago

Oh god… Late2theParty 20 minutes ago

Biden should mention McConnell’s vow on inauguration night to thwart every effort Obama initiated. kesmarn 20 minutes ago

Kes – Yes, Biden misses many opportunities to hang Trump on his lies, including McConnell’s vow. AdLib 18 minutes ago

The general tone of the debate is abrasive, obnoxius guy against more grntle, kinder guy. Who is more likeable? AdLib 17 minutes ago

Tell that to Flint, Michigan. kesmarn 17 minutes ago

The “cleanest water” comment that is. kesmarn 16 minutes ago

Kes – The truth is that there’s greater air and water pollution now, oil companies and coal companies able to dump more poisonous material…why doesn’t Biden mention any of this? AdLib 15 minutes ago

Ending clean air standards for cars under Trump. Joe mentions none of this. It’s somewhat annnoying. AdLib 14 minutes ago

Now he’s going after “AOC.” (I don’t think he knows her actual name.) kesmarn 14 minutes ago

Joe should ask him what AOC stands for. AdLib 13 minutes ago

“I will NEVER allow modern technology such as motorized vehicles to do away with the thousands and thousands of horse-and-buggy-whip shop owners.” Did Teddy Roosevelt get elected with that pledge? Late2theParty 13 minutes ago

Well, he knows more about hot air… not necessarily wind. kesmarn 12 minutes ago

Late – Trump: “Nothing will ever improve on whale oil lamps!” AdLib 12 minutes ago

Kes – Trump knows plenty about natural gas. AdLib 12 minutes ago

Is AOC plus 3 code for transsexual black anarchists who want to burn down your suburban gated communities? Late2theParty 11 minutes ago

AdLib, mostly methane. kesmarn 10 minutes ago

kes, heh heh Late2theParty 10 minutes ago

AOC plus 3 is supposed to bring up an image of a commie group. Yeah… AdLib 10 minutes ago

Late, in T’s view AOC and those gated community arsonists are pretty much one and the same. kesmarn 10 minutes ago

Math: It takes 18 cows to equal the gas output of one Trump. AdLib 9 minutes ago

Kes – Absolutely! AdLib 9 minutes ago

Biden is not having the best performance but Trump is so obnoxious. AdLib 7 minutes ago

Biden’s difficulty in finding the word he wants is problematic, but T really is coming across as a bully. This is a little window into what Freddie Trump must have grown up with. kesmarn 5 minutes ago

The closing statements really favor Biden. AdLib 5 minutes ago

Trump literally begging the swing states to hate Biden for having a long-term perspective. Pitiable. Late2theParty 4 minutes ago

Kes – Yes, Biden stumbled over his words a lot, took away from his performance. Trump was a bully, only appealing to his base. SHould’t lead to any changes in the polls. AdLib 3 minutes ago

Yes. He needs to stick with the basic human decency theme — a foreign language to Trump. At one point tonight, T said that only the “low IQ immigrants seeking asylum actually came back for their hearings. Wow…that said a lot. kesmarn 3 minutes ago

Bide should have said, “He’s documented to have lied over 20,000 times since becominng president, don’t believe a word he says without confirming it with a legit source.” AdLib 2 minutes ago
