Michelangelo - Please play the veteran's call from Montana. God bless our veterans. They don't deserve this asshole for president. They are our true patriots, God bless them! By the way, the Governor here in Texas just issued some lame-ass excuse to reduce the amount of drop-off locations for mail-in ballots to one site per county. I am in Harris Co., the largest Co. in the state and now we'll have one, (1) drop-off location. As you know now, Harris Co. is all Democratic, blue county. He also did the same with Travis Co., Austin, TX. Another lame excuse to keep these assholes cult-followers Republicans in power.

Trump doesn’t flow rules, never has and never will. Trump doesn’t care about anybody but himself, never has and never will. He is a textbook Malignant Narcissist. Sadly, Trump was correct when he claimed he could "stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody" and not "lose any voters." Malignant Narcissists don’t change their behavior to obey rules or suit other people. They never make a mistake and they are always right.

It is long past time that Trump be held accountable for his comments and actions. On November 3rd (and earlier for those utilizingmail-in ballots or early voting) American voters have the opportunity to hand Trump his walking papers by their votes to tell Trump, “You are a loser! You’re Fired!” If we don’t do so the very future of the United States and the entire planet is in danger. During the next 33 days each of us must VOTE BLUE and do everything we are able to make sure that Joe Biden wins the election.

"...Anyone who hadn’t, probably either decided after the first debate — for Biden — or, if still undecided, isn’t going to be changed by debates. It will have to be something else that makes them decide...."

Here's a delicious scenario about that 'something else that makes them decide' ... Three republican states – Florida, Tennessee, and now Mississippi – have dropped all masking, distancing, and gathering guidelines four weeks ahead of the election. Coincidentally, four weeks out from super-spreader events is when outbreaks of infections and the onset of Covid19 symptoms show up on a large scale. And it's fairly certain flinging open the doors to all the bars in Miami, Nashville, and Biloxi will count as a super-spreader event. So it's not unreasonable to predict that one week before the election large amounts of people will become severely ill in these three red states where, also coincidentally, absentee balloting has been actively discouraged. Instead of the burst of economic activity they think will help Trump and the republicans in November, these states will be faced with either a massive backlash or a massive decrease in voters coming to the polls.

The bad part is innocent people will get hurt. The good part is right-wing militias aren't very effective after being hospitalized and intubated.

To be honest, I am not going to focus on the next debates. My concern is the obvious call-out Orange Blob sent to the white supremecists Tuesday night. I have family in SC and GA and go into Philly often. I am living in fear increasingly as an African American and am very concerned for my relatives.

Our voting rights have been sabotaged for centuries. For those of us who will be fortunate enough to not have our vote suppressed but will need to vote in person, what is our government going to do to protect us from being physically harmed or even murdered for simply trying to submit a ballot?

Trump never had a chance because he’s in WAY over his head. #JusticeIsComing

So how do people feel about Biden calling Trump a clown (the truth) or telling him to shut up?

I frankly think he used a lot of restraint but some voters are saying Biden was guilty of bad behavior too. Joe came to debate, Trump came to blow the whole thing up.

What options did Biden have if the moderator couldn’t moderate?

The next debate might be worth it. It's supposed to be a town hall style. tRump doesn't handle questions from "the people" well. Let more viewers see him interrupt ordinary folk, like he did in the CNN town hall. Let them also see Biden be empathetic and listening to people. Just more logs for the tRump dumpster fire of a campaign.
