And I’m glad I did.

I don’t think trump came off as anything but unhinged.

Terribly worried for him to be “overrun” by the orange blowhard.......what did you think??

Trump never did.

If trump was lying (aka speaking) and trying to shout over Biden, Trump would look at Biden. Biden would look at the camera and spoke to the people.

Biden said “that’s a lie” when Trump went off on Hunter Biden. It was effective.

Biden was calm. Trump turned more red as the night went along. Biden told trump to shut up.

All in all Biden made the best of a fucking nightmare of a mess of an uncivil discourse.

HONESTLY, I GOT EMOTIONAL A COUPLE TIMES. HE WAS THAT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

While that pouty goon acted like a thug

I watched the whole thing. I quit listening at about three or four minutes in.

and a slow reboot...sorry I did and WANTED to throw my tv across the room, but unlike that asshole, I am an adult and can show restraint. Now opening the wine bottle -

It wasn't enough. I was exhausted by the end and felt like I'd been pummeled for an hour and a half. My husband spent much of it yelling at the tv.

Trump's base will love it, he was in top asshole conspiracy theory nut form tonight. He wasn't sniffing so I think he was on another substance than the usual.

A minute is a very long time when you're trying to just survive it. In the end, I couldn't take the venal vulgarian's nonstop mouth. Tried once more when I heard how well Biden was doing, but felt the same visceral rage as soon as IT interrupted again. IT is terrible for my blood pressure, never mind my overall mental health, and I was a fool for thinking I could watch even part of this spectacle.

to help me tolerate it.

And feel dirty for doing so

May I never see that again

I don't know how I managed to watch it all. I draped a towel over the TV to cover his fugly mug.

Their ratings would increase.

And cut off his mic too.

I wish I'd thought of that

I may not watch the Town Hall debate since there won't be a dedicated area to drape a towel on the TV.

The abusive and aggressive behavior is inappropriate.

it was rough going, almost gave up a couple times but sloughed on thru.

Otherwise saw the whole thing.

Ay-yi-yi...

I DO NOT want another four years of that bastard!

to rely on other people's comments or brief clips.

Based on Trump's insane performance tonight, his refusal to follow the rules, there shouldn't be any more debates.

Trump has to dominate--it's his modus operandi. Moderator needs a whistle or a mic cutoff switch.

My spouse was yelling at DT until the end. I was glad we hadn't tried to watch it all.

I had to watch.

and listened to Rachel, Nicole and Joy afterwards.

Nicole identified Trump's behavior as an abusive bully. Joy identified Trump's motivation to demean the norms of our democratic process. I think Rachel was shell shocked.

I don't remember which of them said it, but clearly Trump doesn't want an election and why if Putin doesn't have to do debates should he have to be bothered with any of this.

VOTE!

even when you know what is going to happen

until tonight. Trump's constantly shouting over Biden made it unwatchable for me.

I mean, c'mon, man!

I watched him live occasionally in '17, mid '18. More often live radio since I didn't want to look at him. Then I decided almost always just listen to news recaps

So since I've not done this much - I decided to watch.

I wanted to see and hear Biden.
I wanted to see when, how Drumph lied.
I wanted to see and hear how Drumph would
behave badly.

So I did, saw and heard.

as usual.

But caught some snippets from Aaron Rupar and here

Worked for me.

They were yelling at dumpster etc. mostly. I am watching some of the after news. I had come back from pt and then was doing various things. Had I been home and not had to put groceries away etc. walking around while it was going on I would have not watched any of it live. Even the news coverage of it is pretty bad mostly. All the feigned surprise and shock at what happened. There is no surprise to any of it.

I had a feeling it was going to be a shitshow of Trump interruptions and it was never going to change my vote so I thought I'd save myself two hours of pointless aggravation.

Good to see consensus that Joe won. Don't think it's really going to make the slightest difference to anyone.

Ordinarily so uplifting.

I fell asleep before it started.

and threw Trump out the building... through the walls.

It didn't happen, oh I must have dreamed through it.

My heart rate jumped 20 points!
