    I desperately want debates to happen. I really hope the two parties don't quietly make a deal to keep the public out of a real-time live debate broadcast for their two chosen senile bigots.

      Zero chance we get debates. They barely did them last time and they've both steeply and obviously declined since then. The only reason Trump did the one debate was to try to kill Biden with covid.

      Biden is super fucking lucky trumps stuck in court it makes it possible for him to do 2 hour long events a week and still be the one more actively campaigning.

    Pfft you Tankies refuse to consider the obvious, as always. Biden is just such a good president that he can see ghosts.

    Oh um...if that's not working...uhh...

    Oh! Don't you tankies know that Trump would shake hands with two ghosts if he were elected?

    It's gonna be wild seeing pundits insist that one of the candidates has pudding for brains, but the other is coherent and can definitely draw a picture of a clock.

    I wonder how many people are gonna realize like a year after the election, that neither of them are coherent after like 4 PM when they're not on modafinil or w/e, and that's been the case for the last decade. God knows how many people didn't realize how senile Reagan was.

    This is actually a subtle nod to the left. Brandon is acknowledging the spectre of communism making him a true comrade

    "My president's shaking hands with a ghost" is some shit Bob Dylan would use as a metaphor for the death of America, just saying

      I've seen one thousand islands on top of a salad,

      I've seen two golden arches beside a great highway

      I've seen a shimmering woman all etched in a mudflap

      And it's a hard. It's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a HAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD!

      All the shitlibs four years ago who cried "ableism" over what they claimed was "obviously just a stuttering problem" from footage of textbook sundowning symptoms, wonder what their tactic is gonna be this time around

        Just because he can't speak coherently for more than 2 consecutive minutes, gets confused easily, tries to shake hands that are not there of people who are not there, constantly mixes up groups and places and people, stares off into the distance, and generally seems like your grandfather a year after he had the car keys taken away from him doesn't mean he is unable to run the country!

    As much as I want to think this is what is happening, it just looks to me like he's got his hands out in front of him towards the crowd, stumbles a bit, and then addresses the crowd he was gesturing towards.

      That Twitter account has some pretty awful posts and seems to basically be rightwing propaganda. I'm sure this one is very reliable and accurate, though!

    it's clear he is shaking hands with the Ghost of Kyiv, a being of pure light and energy that can only be seen by the true-hearted believers in NATO's strategic mission.

    please turn to Hymn #2 in your gladio codebook

    God bless our vassal states
    And keep our clients safe
    Between sales of arms

    Forget our terroristic strikes
    And those anti-personnel mines
    Ignore those alarms

    We will fight until your last man
    While selling you all we can
    It's one of our charms
