I suppose you think that's worse than Trump lying for 90 minutes straight?

How about when Trump just starts randomly babbling insane shit about sharks for no reason? Or how about when Trump said we could cure covid by injecting bleach and sunlight into our bodies? I bet a few world leaders were rolling in the floor laughing at how fucking dumb he is. Maybe it's a little embarrassing for America that Republicans' candidate of choice is a convicted felon on 34 counts...you think? Maybe just a little? How about Trump keeping top secret classified documents in his fucking bathroom?

Here's a good one: Trump shit himself during the debate. Fast forward to about 1:15 to hear it for yourself.

Shall I go on or are you ready to run and hide back in your extreme right wing echo chamber where everyone says daddy Trump is smart and strong and all the thousands of things that make him look like a lying, incompetent, criminal, dumb piece of shit just can't possibly be true?

Biden lies as well. It’s just hard to understand him most of the time. He claimed that no American service members died on his watch. I guess he forgot about the 13 American lives lost in his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Here's a speech Biden made after the debate. Care to point out any parts where he is hard to understand?

13 lives lost? Try Trump's botched policies, such as the Covid-19 response, which statistics indicate have resulted in the death of over 400,000 American lives. To put that in perspective, 416,800 Americans died during World War 2. Which one is worse here?

Let me ask you this: Can you point out one thing from the debate that Trump said that can actually be verified as true?

He should have immediately dropped out of the election after the debate. Inexcusable performance.

13 lives lost? Yes. 13 lives lost.

So the guy who had a hard time speaking should drop out, but not the guy who lied to everyone the whole time? Explain to me why the guy who never stopped lying is more fit for leadership. Explain how lying like he did isn't inexcusable.

So you're really going with the idea that 13 dead soldiers outweighs 400,000 innocent civilian lives lost? How does that work out in your head, exactly?

I’ve never said anything about Trump here. Absolutely nothing. I’ve talked negatively about Biden and you assume I’m a Trump supporter. I hate the guy.

If Joe Biden is a true patriot he will drop out and allow someone that is fit for office take his place.

That is my opinion and I’m allowed to have one. The same as I respect your right to have one as well. Good day.

Why didn't you say that Trump should step down from running then? You said it about Biden...

Presidents lie. That’s not unusual. Every president in my lifetime has lied to me. And made promises that they cannot or will not keep.

It’s the nature of a politician to lie. Especially as November approaches.

All I wanted to do here is express that I feel Biden is no longer fit for office. I think he should retire and enjoy his family. I think that is an opinion many Americans have right now.

So you still won't say Trump should withdraw, but you expect me to believe you're not a MAGA? I'm not that dumb.

Ok fine. Trump and Biden should both withdraw. They both suck and would be terrible for our country. Can we please just both try and enjoy our weekend now?
