Good morning patriots
Hope everyone slept well after the president soundly beat up China Joe.
Server issues here have been discussed at length but we'd love to test them. If everyone would just invite their friends here we should be able to get an accurate test. 20 million users should be acceptable.
We've had some great threads and comments about what happened last night. Now that you've had time to digest it we'd like to give you the opportunity to seriously discuss any questions, issues, or anything that happened.
Top level comments should be only something that happened during the debate. Links to highlights, fact checks, questions, etc.
For those who missed it.
The Biden campaign was clearly given the questions ahead of time. You can tell this specifically with this question by the moderator: “ President Trump, people of color are much more likely to live near oil refineries and chemical plants. In Texas, there are families who worry the plants near them are making them sick. Your administration has rolled back regulations on these kinds of facilities. Why should these families give you another four years in office?” This was such an off the beaten path question compared to the other questions. Trump’s answer was pretty generalized about how people who work near the refineries are making a good living due to his policies. He also never heard about the stats about the sick minorities (I guess white people are immune) that the moderator gave. Meanwhile Biden’s response: “ My response is that those people live on what they call fence lines. He doesn’t understand this. They live near chemical plants that in fact, pollute, chemical plants and oil plants and refineries that pollute.” Do you really think Biden knew the term “fence lines”? This question and answer was planned to make Biden look like he new fancy terms and that Trump didn’t. Biden then continued with his usual common man story about when he was a kid: “ I used to live near that when I was growing up in Claymont, Delaware and there are more oil refineries in Marcus Hook and the Delaware River than there is any place, including in Houston at the time. When my mom get in the car and when there are first frost to drive me to school, turning the windshield wiper, there’d been oil slick in the window. That’s why so many people in my state were dying and getting cancer” This answer was rehearsed.
I did enjoy the fact that he validated Trump by admitting that he grew up in Delaware, not Scranton.
This is a really good observation. Absolutely on point.
Agreed with that, great point. Disband the debate commission.
I was suspecting he had the questions in advance, but yeah, his answer to this one absolutely proved it.
I thought of this too. Anyone with a critical thinking mind would notice this too.
