RE: Why I Might Watch The Next 'Debate'

I'm not sure how this is going to work. As long as Trump can hear his own voice he's gonna keep talking. It won't be a debate so much as him being muted now and then...he'll be in mid-rant when his mic is turned back on. It's going to sound like a bad cell phone connection.
I wouldn't be surprised if he walks out.

Either one - him babbling into a dead mic or him walking out - would be acceptable.

I'm looking forward to the SNL skit mocking the debate. Does that count?

I won't watch the debate.
I simply cannot listen to Trump speak.

How about silence, and while watching the buffoon flailing his arms while grimacing and actually getting a facial color
other than orange? Just as bad?

Can't even do that.
Honestly, I'm sick of seeing the orange turd everywhere.
On the bright side of the news, apparently his packed a sad and stormed out of an interview today.
Didn't one of his supporters say women were too emotional to be a president?

This.
Also, it's of no consequence to me, I already dropped my ballot off at the election office.
Then again, I was never going to vote for the asshole in any possible world.
I'm honestly hoping there's a landslide for Biden like there was for Ardern here in NZ last week.
He's not only America's problem.

No one is pretending a Biden victory will mean it's a done deal and Americans can rest on their laurels. That's just a breather.
