With less than two weeks to go before the elections, it’s the second and final presidential debate. Joe Biden and Donald Trump will face off, with NBC News’ Kristen Welker moderating and a new set of rules muting the microphone of whoever is not speaking during the initial two-minute answers in each of the six topic areas. Those topics are COVID-19, leadership, American families, race in America, climate change, and national security.
The debate runs for 90 minutes beginning at 9 PM ET. You can watch it on many television networks or stream it at many news sites, including C-SPAN. You can also follow along here.
Whatever you do, do not play a debate drinking game with Trump interrupting or lying as a reason to drink.
Trump on systemic racism is the most nauseating, enraging thing ever.
Okay, Trump might have said “go ahead” not “good” about the 525 children whose parents can’t be located. We’ll have to review tape. And now Biden has another good look directly in the camera and talking about character. And Trump tries to bring up “laptop from hell.” Which also gives Biden to point out that 5 former heads of CIA and 50 intelligence experts say it is Russian disinformation.
Welker staying on racism and Trump’s inflammatory tweets, retweets, support for white supremacy and he tells his lies about BLM protesters chanting about “pigs in blankets” and now says he says “I’m the least racist person in the room.” After the “rapist and murderers coming across the border” schtick in the last round.
Biden: “This guy is a dog whistle as big as a fog horn.”
This is definitely not the train wreck of the first debate, probably because Trump’s strategy of non-stop yelling of gibberish didn’t really work to rattle Biden, so he’s trying to be a little bit more on point. But Trump just can’t not be an asshole. He just can’t not be a monster.
Republican Congress, Joe, Republican Congress. That’s why it didn’t get done. Thanks. He said it.
Climate change. Two debates have actually brought it up. So finally. We have the “trillion trees” program, Trump says. I wonder if they’re handing out rakes to go with all of them. Same old same old with the cleanest everything we’ve ever had under Trump.
Well, that was bonkers. Biden: climate change, global warming, an existential threat. I mean, it’s Trump vs. reality. While Trump looks smug and bored, again.
Biden’s reactions when Trump comes up with one of his “facts” are pretty spectacular. And now Trump’s got a new thing that he’s very proud of, “AOC plus three.” I’m with Biden, “I don’t know where he comes from.”
Please, please, please America. Let us have the guy who can speak in whole coherent sentences. And who doesn’t know “more than anybody” about wind and birds and fumes.
Welker asks about environment justice for families of color. Trump says that those people are making more money than ever and are getting rich. “They’re making a tremendous amount of money.” He legitimately has never heard that communities of color end up living in those hellholes. Which Biden points out, he don’t understand that those are neighborhoods people have to live in and that it’s killing them.
Biden handled Trump’s assholicness on energy, oil, and China? Well.
Now about leadership, starting with Trump. Starts out talking about how great it all was before the China Plague and that everybody loved him and wanted to talk to him in the Oval Office and all the women and Blacks loved him.
What would Biden say to the people who voted against him? “I’m going to be your president.” It’s his standard closing/stump statement. “What’s on the ballot is the character of this country. Decency, honor.”
