This might be the best compliment I ever received : “ my by-no-means-batshit sister”. 😁

The New York Times is The Enemy - the way they had to put their little dig in about a teleprompter. That collection of over-educated, under-intelligent, otherwise-unemployable trust fund babies has become The Enemy since the Sulzberger DNA failure running their shitshow is so entitled he thinks if Biden wont sit down with him for an interview that it's perfectly okay for him to put his thumb on the scale in favor of the man who will be happy to send that collection of clucks to a "re-education center" in West Texas the first opoportunity he gets after they get him back in office. Good riddance on that day; it won't be anything they don't deserve. I finally cancelled them for their bullshit on Friday.

About slipping Biden a Mickey: I won’t say that didn’t happen. It could have. But to me Joe reacted exactly how I might have reacted. Trupm’s constant lying, negative barrage without let up left me blank. My mind stopped. All the while as I suffered from a paralyzed mind my blood was starting to boil into a debilitating anger. Joe was what is called dumbstruck, though I think there’s a more appropriate word. I mean where do you start with this menace? He has perfected this venomous bite that renders his foes stunned.

Good point, thanks.

I posted on Substack on the day of the debate that I didn’t like the fact the two of them would be in such close proximity. I figured there’s nothing Trupm wouldn’t try, to disable or even kill Joe Biden. That’s all very Trupm-y. I also thought since he mentioned the performance enhancement shot in the butt that Biden was going to get just before the debate, that that’s what Trupm was going to get. I do believe he got that shot and another during the final break. Did you catch that?

It wouldn’t surprise me. In 2020 trump tried to kill Biden with Covid.

The sad reality is that there is reason to believe that the Republicans, with a hostiry of dirty tricksters would find a way to do this, no matter the physical or fiscal cost. Joe looked strong this week saying,

"WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT HIS 34 FELONY CONVICTIONS, HIS SEXUAL ASSAULT ON A WOMAN IN A PUBLIC, HE'S HAS BEEN FINED $400 MILLION FOR BUSINESS FRAUD.""I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, DONALD TRUMP ISN'T JUST A CONVICTED FELON--DONALD TRUMP IS A ONE MAN CRIME WAVE”"

watching the debate and then watching him shortly thereafter and the next day, I also thought he'd been slipped a mickey. the timing was kind of suspiciously coincidental.

I think you might want to consider a much more straightforward explanation that requires no Conspiracy cards: https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/110891

That was my first thought as well, although I like the mickey-slipping theory. A geriatrician on another thread also suggested the side effects of cold medicine. “I’m truly dismayed,” he wrote, “at how this isolated event has been naively extrapolated into claims of overt incompetence and a need to find another candidate.”

Same here, I recently posted Dr Elizabeth Landsverk on Shrinking Trump. And I’ve restacked it a couple of times. And it’s IMPORTANT for Every/Anyone with an elder in their lives.

You may be correct.

Would also explain the extreme silence coming from that orange mess.

That's exactly what I thought must have happened

President Biden’s whole life is one long death threat. He rides from place to place in an armored vehicle that can withstand an explosion. He and his family will have to be guarded for the rest of their lives. I doubt whether anything from a man he despises from the bottom of his heart could affect him. I just think he looked ill.

And he looked pale in comparison to Trump’s orange face makeup. The TV lights exaggerate the difference.

Something sure as hell happened!

I'm starting to question whether there's absolutely nothing wrong with President Biden physically and that it was a death threat so horrific it froze him and impaired his ability to debate.

That makes more sense. The color was drained from his face.

Fear can do that.

This crossed my mind too. When I mentioned it in my political meetup they said it was a “crazy” idea. I think it’s a possibility.

Could be one of those crazy possibilities.
