I feel like we live in some distorted, bizarro world. I think we all feel that way right now, right? This doesn't seem real. This doesn't seem like any level of normalcy. But yet here we are. And can we be honest? I mean, I feel like here we can be honest, right. I watched the left leaning network, CNN, MSNBC. They were raving tonight about what a wonderful job Joe Biden did

And I just felt that he could have finished it for the cherry on the top if he had just said he served in the armed forces and did not complain about bones first or things like that. But outside of that, not much changes from what I expected. I'm already paranoid. I was already paranoid that Trump might somehow figure to announce this election and keep power and all signed are still pointing to that. What can I say
Average Joe
@AverageJoe · 1:04
Yes. Shammi. You know your point right there about bone spurs. That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about, like, these were prime opportunities to really pound away on him. And he seemed to kind of miss them somehow. Or the part where Trump was saying, don't talk to me about being smart. You graduated at the bottom of your class. I would have finished him off with

But he was a celebrity before he became President. Most of these cats, this talking s*** about him just to keep it real was probably on his D*** before he ever started to run for President. They probably hung out and party with him at his hotels and all kind of s***. So, man, look, I was 100% entertained by it
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 2:34
Yeah, Robin, I feel feel your pain a little bit because, I mean, I'm I'm 100% entertained by it because I know that's what it I knew that's what it was going to be anyway. I mean, this is this is is the reality TV America that we're in. Everybody wants reality TV type s***. And that's what we crave now. We've been doing that for, what, 20 years? When did reality TV start?
Average Joe
@AverageJoe · 4:54
Oh, I have no doubt that many. Let's do it right. Many, many people were entertained by what happened last night. And I get that it's a train wreck. The thing about train wrecks, you can't look away, but I find it too disturbing to be entertained. This is sending us down a path, and we all know the outcome of that path. It's not a pretty one. And if you watch Trump, you can see his entire life on display

And coming back to that information of the taxes, I think one of the main key points of that, which I think is missing in all the Twitter Wars that I see most of them as opponents and supporters. It's like they didn't even read it or aren't comprehending. Some of the key takeaways from that. And the biggest takeaway for me is that his businesses that he has had input into, that he has planned have been abysmal failures across the board

Okay. I guess I'm just out here on the island, but naked by myself. Joe, Phil, you just left me sitting here, but naked, b*** naked on the island by myself. Myself. That's not right. Am I the only one that was entertained by that? Come on now, sleepy Joe, the corpse. You all wasn't feeling that all right. I'm on the island by myself
phil spade
@Phil · 0:55
And I kind of got that same feeling last night where as soon as he would look to the camera, I know why he was doing it, but it still amused me to no end when I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm having Ross Perot flashbacks here. The only thing we're missing is Stockdale coming into the VP, a debate which honestly, I would have much rather seen Stockdale last night than neither one of these two. But I found that amusing
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 1:15
And you are going to act like I'm the only one that was entertained and all you all just said, oh, I was disgusted, but you kept watching somewhere in the back of your mind. You were seriously entertained by that now. God d*** it, I'm on this island b*** naked by myself. Somebody got to come pick me up and I'm not going to just keep sitting here butting
There were so many instances last night where Trump said something, and I was thinking of a perfect response, right. And Biden missed those responses left and right, as if he was just not prepared for them. Trump is talking about his safe rallies and his gigantic attendance at these rallies. And come on, bring up the fact that Herman Cain died at one of those rallies. I mean, come on, it's perfect ammunition for you here, not brought up at all
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 4:17
That's just the minimum. But you already know how I feel. We need to redo everything. We need to tear all this s*** up and do it over. Start it over because this is not going to end. This is the type of politics we're going to keep having. So people are going to get more and more and more disgusted. And what's the end game to our disgusting feelings? What's the Endgame? What's the end result?

@Mtwadamela · 0:29
I can't believe this man. Now y'all got Robin laughing at me. Y'all just leave me on the island, but naked, no clothes, nothing to cover up with everybody driving by laughing at me. Now you got Robin laughing at me. What's next? Shammy's gonna go come by and laugh at me too. Is Deborah going to come by and Rachel and the moderator is everybody going to come by and laugh at me. You guys are something else. And you have something else
phil spade
@Phil · 2:37
You got to be doing that from round one, take control of the fight. And it was just frustrating to watch him let it fester out of control. And then Secondly, along the lines of what Kelly Gooner said, it was like watching two fighters and one of them swinging wildly, bringing himself off balance. And then the other guy not making him pay for it
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 3:31
But at least I'm not all the way, but necked on the island field. My Manfield came by. I knew he would because Manfield got the little boxing bond. We formed a bond through our boxing. I love the boxing and boxers. So Phil was nice enough to throw a n**** hat, life boat or something. Phil is cool enough to do that. But Where's average Joe At? Where's Robin? Where's Callie Gooner?
And I know Trump supporters are not necessarily going to care about the people fact checking him. But the majority of Americans do care about the things that their candidates are saying when they're running for office. And Joe Biden was the clear Victor. In that case, I believe that around 60% of his statements were true compared to the low 20% for President Trump. So I think by that metric alone, Joe Biden won. But then we could take this a step further
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 2:43
I'm just from my own eyesight because I was tuning in to see the Orange Man go against Sleepy Joe, aka the Corpse. I wanted to see if the corpse could fight back a little bit. And it turns out he really couldn't. And it's a shame because this is who the Democratic Party has propped up him and Kamala. That part of it is sad all the way around. The only thing I'm encouraged by today is my man, LeBron going for number four
Average Joe
@AverageJoe · 2:09
This is the President of the g****** United States up there acting like this. So, I mean, I don't know, but, yeah, I get what you're saying. I mean, I totally understand. Look, I can only imagine what the ratings were last night. And isn't that what the networks really care about? I mean, I know people got together
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 2:08
God d*** it, it was f****** entertaining watching the President of the United States Act like a spoiled little kid. Even the looks on his face were like a little boy. It was highly entertaining. Listen, man, me and my wife, my wife. She don't smoke no weed. I do. I rolled a blunt specifically for that specifically. And it was my birthday yesterday. So I was on some other s***
Shammi Mohamed
@shammi · 2:26
Going into this debate, I'm going to honestly say I wasn't entertained as much and not because I didn't find it amusing. It's because I was actually expecting this. In fact, I was expecting more to be honest, everything over there, I was pretty much expecting when you don't have the surprise element, it's not as entertaining for you, right
Shammi Mohamed
@shammi · 0:35
Also, I did want to respond to the little off topic thing about Bush being the worst President. I have to respectfully disagree. Bush was bad, but not as treacherous as Trump is. I still still can't remember the day when Trump finished that meeting with Putin and just downright sucked up to him and said, oh, Putin told me that he wouldn't meddle in our elections. I have never felt so small as an American citizen
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 0:39
Yeah. Shami, I gotta disagree as far as just to me, in my opinion, the second Bush by far was worse. I mean, all of this stuff, basically all the s*** that's going on now, largely it you know what I mean? A lot of this stuff. He started from him and then Obama came in trying to clean it up. And then now Trump saying he's trying to clean Obama
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 2:43
Every time the moderator told him to keep quiet or knock it off, he would just go at it even harder, which is what is going to boost their ratings. All of that's drama. You can best believe those ratings are through the roof. I would like somebody out there to see if they could get the ratings and how many people actually watched it
Mark Francis Rahaman
@MarkR · 3:33
And then we saw all the highlights, probably all the worst bits, and they would announce what was going to happen. And then Trump did this. And then Biden did. So I saw the bit where he said, oh, shut up, man. And I thought, yeah, good on you, man. And the bit. Of course, when Trump talks about the proud boys, I couldn't believe it. Was he being sarcastic and everybody knows he's racist

@sudha · 0:40
I just want to take a minute to say thank you to everyone here. You have no idea. I just couldn't bring myself to speak. After the horror show last night, I had nothing to say, no words to add. My heart was in my stomach. I was just out of thoughts. And then I heard this conversation today, and I'm feeling way better. It's
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 3:48
But I think they're letting it affect me emotionally in a negative way, too much, because the paradigm shifted when Donald Trump and we've been building up to this, none of us can say that we've never seen a version of this. We've seen this in American politics. This is what American politics is getting up there and insulting people. Now, the guys that previously the previous people were politicians. They were born and bred politicians. Donald Trump is not a born and bred politician
Mark Francis Rahaman
@MarkR · 4:35
You want him to win the same thing, right? I guess it just goes on and on through the professional ranks as well. But yeah, so that's how it goes. And then if a guy, if it was kind of even. They both sell tickets. But one guy got pasting. They would give them encourage the guide to box again, but then give him somebody they knew he could be so that he went again. So what they done? They just served with somebody
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 1:24
No, actually, Mark is Trump is the one who gave Joe Biden that name. Well, he gave him sleepy Joe. I added the corpse in there because of the last episode he had coming off the mic. What was that last month? But anyway, I don't let s*** like this really stress me out like that because I realize what it is. It's politics, and we've all contributed to it. So there's really nothing we can do
Howie Rubin
@Howie · 0:15
I found no humour in the debate. I think the United States came out the big loser, and I think we as a nation, are in deep s***. If this is the best we can do
Pj Baldwin
@JohnnyBaldwin · 2:29
Yeah. I agree with almost everybody on here. Am I the only one who believes that this is a total set up that they picked Joe Biden so that he he would lose. I mean, last election, he got stomped. Then why would we think that he would be a good candidate this time? I really don't think the Republicans are going to let anything slip out of their hands. And I mean that by whether they have to cheat, they're definitely lying, obviously
Mtwadamela Ijogo
@Mtwadamela · 0:57
They're all in Cahoots together. They all eat at the same restaurants, party together. All that. So you're 100%, right. And we do have to kind of stay aware of what's really going on behind the scenes and what the real reason is why they're doing all this stuff
