[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-27 As Jen Psaki said tonight, there is no point in sugar coating that President Joe Biden had a bad debate performance. His cold make him sound weak, and I’m afraid President Biden “over trained” for this debate (This was apparent in the list of data points that Biden loves to have at hand, but he had too many of them to remember). But keep in mind a couple of things folks. First, the so called moderators at CNN — Tapper and Bash — did an OBSCENE AND DESPICABLE JOB with regards to the questions and NO DAMN FACT CHECKING! Life is unfair. But the second item is the one that Lawrence O’Donnell brought up: Donald Trump is going to be sentenced on July 11th for his 34 felonies. And Trump, once again, showed absolutely no sign of remorse for his crimes and attacked everyone involved with the trial, except individual jury members. Anyone want to take a bet that Trump won’t get some jail time for his lack of remorse and continued attacks against the judge and prosecutors? Some legal analysts still say that Trump will not be sentenced to jail, but people have gone to prison for committing the types of crimes that Trump was found guilty of. Maybe it won’t be much jail time, but I’m in the camp that thinks Trump will receive some time in jail, if only because Michael Cohen did. So how will that land with the general public? I don’t think it will help Trump at all, at least not with those idiot low information voters. Does anyone seriously think they will all say, “Oh now that Trump is going to jail, I think he should be elected president!” As for this so called “debate,” I have been in the camp that believes Biden should never have agreed to debate Trump at all. Why normalize an insurrectionist, a rapist, and a criminal by sharing a stage with the President of the United States? It’s repugnant. However, I know that Biden wanted to calm the Democratic natives with a strong performance in the first debate. Well, so much for those plans. Now, Biden has to dig himself out of a hole with this bad night. As for the format, I hated it from the get go. Instead of going for the obvious questions about the Big Lie or that Trump is a CRIMINAL, we have Tapper go after Biden on inflation. This is supposedly the most important thing according to CNN, but is it really? Don’t get me wrong. I hate inflation. But will inflation matter if our democracy ends with the election of a man who wants to become a dictator? The short answer is “FUCK NO!” Dictators don’t have to worry about what the peasants think about economic issues. Then, we have all the problems with no fuckin’ fact checking by either Tapper or Bash. And the best example of letting Trump lie his ass off to the viewers was his answer to the abortion question. IT IS OBSCENE TO ALLOW TRUMP TO CLAIM THAT DEMOCRATS ALLOW FOR THE MURDER OF BABIES AFTER THEY ARE BORN! But did Tapper or Bash bring this up? NOPE! It is an egragious lie! We have a little law that calls the killing of the born as MURDER! And the so called debate degenerated into a Trump rally without the audience. So before we all want to find a way to throw Biden overboard, please keep in mind that Trump is a criminal awaiting sentencing. And this is one bad night. Biden can recover from a bad night. He is not the first sitting president who lost the first debate (Ronald Reagan did, and so did Barack Obama).
