Posting this thread a little earlier than normal because this night will be a little unusual. For this special Thursday Political Theatre Night, 9PM EST, Hexbear Comrade @dead asked the powers-that-be for a brand-new channel on Hextube, and got it, at https://live.hexbear.net/c/news , where he will host the real-life comedy movie known as the Presidential Debate. Behold as two doddering old men stumble over their words and lose their train of thought as they struggle to convince you why they should be the steward of a genocidal empire. Be prepared for psychic damage. Thank you to Comrade @dead for hosting this very special event. All credit and gratitude goes to him. Make sure to show up at 9PM sharp, as the event is live.
After the debate is over, come over to https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies for Civil War (2024), a dystopian thriller from Alex Garland, the director who brought you Ex Machina (2015) and Annihilation (2018). Oh god, America has fallen apart! Roving bands of marauders now terrorize the countryside as a group off war journalists try to reach Washington DC to understand what’s really going on. Somehow, California and Texas ended up on the same side. Will we find out how? I dunno. Let’s watch.
The debate begins at 9PM EST, and the movie will start shortly after it ends, at about 11PM EST.

I was going to say that Biden maybe wouldn’t have come off too bad if he hadn’t looked confused and sounded like he was dying, but his incoherent closing statement was maybe not the best look. I mean, in the rest of the debate he mostly lauded a series of largely meaningless and unimpressive policy achievements.
I liked it when he called Trump a whiner though, that was funny.
As for Trump, it was funny that the only thing he had to talk about for any given issue was the 18 million strong migrant horde come to destroy America. Which is basically Trump’s MO since 2015.
On the whole I can’t believe Biden’s camp agreed to do the debates. While it wasn’t the debacle of 2020, there was never any chance Biden walked out of this looking good.
I wonder if the rest of the country noticed his constant angry open mouthed staring at Trump whenever Trump was talking. That was the highlight of his performance to me tonight.
I think he forgot where he was at least like 3 or 4 times, and you could see him then listening to his earpiece, someone was presumably cluing him back into reality.
