I'll catch the highlight reels tomorrow. There is, after all, only so much of this I can take.
Especially because I know that if Biden makes even the tiniest slip, he will be declared the loser and his campaign over. Trump, of course, can deliver a lengthy explanation of how cofveve was something that was actually transmitted to him via telepathy from a patch of blue moss, and the press will report on his use of vivid imagery.
That's Topic A chez nous. The wife refuses to watch. Me, I will, but I reserve the right to snap it off angrily if Chris Wallace is letting Trump get away with too much lying. Yeah, call me cynical, fuck you.
This is probably accurate. Bros don't attack bros. Both will be sputtering in 30-45 minutes. DJT's crash will be harder, if he can do more than wheeze at all right out of the gate.
If I were Biden, I'd make lots of random references to 750. "No, Donald, I can think of 750 reasons that is inaccurate." "I received letters from 750 public school teachers." etc etc.
But if the Times pieces does nothing else -- and it likely won't -- this questioning of Donnie's wealth his business acumen really hits him where it hurts. And that enough justification for me.
Judging by Biden’s primary debates I expect he’ll be stronger in the first 45 minutes and fade somewhat in the home stretch, but it probably won’t matter because by the 1 hour mark I expect Trump to be reduced to Lovecraftian gibberish: "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"
Now this has the Trump dialogue that I feel is closer to the real Donnie than Roy's usual (not so say that's not entertaining, enjoyable, but I like a pinch more verisimilitude, whatever that means; I don't do big words).
What I don't understand, yet enjoy, is why Bannon is in a cloud floating around. But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
As for the debate tonight, my big question is whether Donnie manages to get through speaking only in complete sentences. And I expect him to announce the availability of Trump Covid Vaccine(R), available starting Wednesday. A very fine vaccine, the best, endorsed by Ivanka. What does one have to lose?
Stefan doesn't understand that the DeMolays are Masonic, not Catholic, and so soon will be banned.
The outlawing of Freemasonry will actually be of benefit, maybe, as it might activate some of its older genes right when we'll need them. Heinlein, in his left-wing days, came up with that notion, and made it a little-noted feature of "Revolt in 2100" (I don't recall if it's in "If This Goes On—", the original novella).
Bravo. It's like a graphic novel. The only discordant note is the baby seal thing. As evidenced by Trump's occasional "God blesh the United Shtaysh" his lower denture just isn't up to gouging a live animal without some problem. I'm guessing that Lewandoski, Meadows, Miller, or one of the Goons have to fetch it from the carcasses for him whenever Bannon calls for the sacrifice. Otherwise, the whole thing is as plainly realistic as a Reader's Digest "I Am Joe's Liver" article.
Pretty funny, but I'm not sure vering into realism at this point is appropriate.
Hyperrealism?
I would watch tonight's debate, but I've decided that shaving my head with a cheese grater is something I'd rather be doing.
Oh come on, it could be edifying, and besides it’s our civic duty to subject ourselves to the farcical death throes of the republic

Seconded

More sensible than cynical.
As somebody said, it’s going to probably be two guys at opposite ends of the bar talking past each other.

I love your advice to Old Joe.

All presidential debates are essentially like that actually. This one will just be more bizarrely like that.
Biden: Debate Prep; Trump: Debase Prep

Authentic Frontier Gibberish Now With Added Lovecraftian Racism
Every Blazing Saddles reference gets an upvote from me.
'Unspeakable Johnson is _right_!'
—'Thank-you, Indescribable Johnson.'
Meanwhile, much of the polity shew signs that the Mi-Go have been to see them.
As the conservative here, I'll stick to 'Dogs fucked the Pope—no fault of mine!' as per Thompson and tributed-to by Bruce Sterling.
What I wonder (again) is whether Donnie will be able to stick with speaking in complete sentences.
That Baron Harkonnen image is just perfect —
Also Clockwork Orange.
Bannon _needs_ more pustules.
—and buboes, don't let's forget buboes.
Just a heads up, Bret Stephens is now actively ripping off Brother Rod’s reader letters!
Pretty accurate but Lewandoski not drunk enough.
If Lewandowski is there, where is Kristi Noem? Lurking nearby, waiting for her chance to be an even more penny-ante grifter?

I'd as soon stick an icepick in my forehead as watch the debate. Not gonna do it. What fucking farce.

Serendipity! Frozen Hot Chocolate! This script has it all!
I assume the camera is at an angle after the cut.
This scene has the feel of a Ralph Steadman drawing.
"You notice how Sleepy Joe doesn't slip in all that blood. It's the claws. He has claws on his feet..."
