First, some have speculated the timing of the first 2024 presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is so early in the election year, prior to any party convention, because Biden is anticipated to be replaced. This is considerable supposition, but the date of the debate is indeed very odd.
Secondly, without a doubt the headlines leading into the debate have been seeded with talking points friendly to the Biden position on economics, immigration, inflation and foreign policy (Ukraine). From economists publicizing letters to government agencies promoting lowered inflation, the talking points for Biden have been well scripted and practiced.
Third, CNN the exclusive media outlet for the debate, is notorious for structuring political attacks against President Trump. Biden has been in dress rehearsals and training for the optics and soundbites for several weeks. Knowing CNN gave prior debate questions to Hillary Clinton in advance during the 2016 primary, we can anticipate CNN working hand in glove with the Biden campaign. They don’t even try to hide this stuff any longer.
That said, if you are watching the debate tonight, consider this an open discussion thread. I will embed the livestream links below that should work despite CNN being extremely aggressive with the proprietary broadcast controls.

As for Joe: Stick a fork in him – he’s done.
I don’t think so, you have to look at this through the eyes of the precious independents–they will likely call it a draw even though we know Biden is saying nothing. The good news is the D’s have no reason to replace him.
This is breaking the law.
Well son of a bitch!
My president is pouring it on now…
FYI, Pedo Joe, Russia’s economy is pacing WAY better than ours and ours is officially no longer the best in the world.
Ding-dong.
If there’s a hell it will be stuck in a room for an eternity with FJB!!!Having to listen to him mumble !
I suspect Jill will be in that situation.
The corporate media format giving more time to Crooked Joe is burying him. Trump can let him babble and just retort he’s destroying the country.
Looks like Joe got his talking points during break.
and a potty break
“The idea that……” wins the prize for Slow Joe’s favorite phrase tonight. He seems to start every response with those words.
Noticed that too
ah — he came back to the “suckers and losers” General
he got an update through his earpiece
just scratched his right ear
what ear are all y’all suspecting?
My husband and I noticed the same
Also, he seems like he’s listening before he speaks.His eyes are dead
Right ear. He writes stuff down when it comes thru the cochlear implant
When Trump speaks, Biden does not look at him. He looks down mostly as if trying to block out what Trump is saying so he can focus on something else.
If O’bummer is in the basement talking into Old Joe’s earpiece, it’s not going too well.
Couldn’t be Obama, he never talked fast enough to make the cut in this format. 😉
Referring to Obummer’s statement of his dream third term comment- in a basement talking into an earpiece. If it was Odumber, we’d a heard a lot of ya-knows and uhs.
Probably Mary McCord.
Here’s the scare the seniors part. Do you know what scares the seniors? Illegal aliens rampaging across our land committing crimes. They get what 70K in free money bleeding us dry so that they can use them for ballot harvesting. Insane!
And, Trump fires bad general, bad CEO’s, whatever. Get good guys in there.
16 Nobel Laureates, 51 spy chiefs, fake charges, Russia-Russia-Russia, Ukraine phone call, fake rape charges, bullshit goes on and on and on….
The Biden camp had the debate questions beforehand. They rehearsed the heck out of Joe.
When Trump is answering his question, Biden is looking down and listening for his prompts from someone.
There is no way Joe is not getting audio help through this debate.
All the Adderall in the world cannot make a demented potatoes remember like this.
Ear piece/audio help is old school.
Old Joe has a modern/futuristic Neuralink……………but some bugs still need working out!
Bingo!
I noticed that too. He reads his answer then looks up.
What did the moron in chief just say
Doesn’t matter. It fills another Bingo card space:)
🤣
Wait, my card does not have a “not audible” spot. We should all have one! I think we need a redo.
Can mods start over. I know Trump can do this again. lmfao
Pedo Joe is touching his right ear again.
By tonight someone will have made a good compilation video of these moments.
Tapper knows the jig is up and won’t take a full lap in for Joe. Tapper your done for now too.
Biden Hates the Military!

OMG, THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT.
Call them out. Waste of time. Insults and nonsense and dog bones while our nation burns from within.
CALL THEM OUT. THANK YOU, SIR.
Exactly! God bless President Trump!
9:48 Eastern –
President Trump gestures like why are we even doing this, then says “why are even entertaining this” the idea this guy can debate etc.
knowing the pretending that is having to occur.
Like, this much “_”
My new hash tag.
Did I hear Joe say Trump had 50% unemployment?
yea
I want to hear, tomorrow, from all the commenters (not just here) and pundits who said this debate was a “mistake” by VSG PDJT. I really want to see them eating crow.
👍
hey! Hi Maquis!
Glad to see you back!
Welcome back Maquis!
The rehearsal must have made a point of #1, #2, #3 and on an on. He keeps repeating the numbers.
No ketchup either. Let them eat it dry.
the largest thing sticking out is that Biden doesnt look drugged up, energetic, or put together enough to look competent.
it looks like the set Biden up step has started, or Biden’s team knows they can spin the outcome of any event and are not worried of how this looks.
Mika and Morning Joe are eating Xanax like m&m’s right now. lol
I wish it was exlax.
hehe… Me. I’m glad to be wrong.
I have apologized but I don’t like crow! I will celebrate with a big rib eye steak!
I’ve wondered if it wasn’t a set-up for Old Joe all along. Chicago will be interesting.
This debate could be a mistake if it prompts the Demonrats to get rid of F’n Joe because almost anyone would be an improvement over Bidet. For the record, I never weighed in on whether the debate was a mistake or not.
Biden being talked to in his right ear.
Absolutely.
YOU ARE WEAK. YOU ARE WEAK. KREMLIN SAYS HI.
Angry Joe now defending America.
Trumps speech pattern is clear, concise and intelligible.
Bidens speech is low, throaty, weak, unintelligible. White punk on dope.
Hey that’s my song!
President Trump is on fire!
We have the finest military in the world?? Brandon is lost.
“Most admired in the world.”
I got SCREAMED at and thrown out of a restaurant the last time I was out of the country because one d-bag patron got upset when he heard my friend’s ACCENT.
People HATE US. We are being kicked out of nations around the world while they run into the arms of China and Russia. The mask is off. The emperor has no clothes. It’s going to take CENTURIES to get our reputation back.
Where were you?
Malta.
wow, that is sad to hear. My dad was born there.
Joe Biden wants to talk about character.
So let’s talk about it.
Angry Joe in da house
.
Childcare should be effectuated by parents, grandparents, other family members.
Maybe young families could have a stay at home parent if inflation wasn’t taking so much of earned income.
“Number one, I gotta drop a Number two.”
Oh nevermind. I just dropped it.
“Cleanup on podium 2!”
NEW: Two sources familiar with the situation say “President Biden has a cold.” ………
https://x.com/KellyO/status/1806505436457189594
I agree, he has a cold dark heart.
“has a cold” body temp, perhaps.
The cadaver in chief is a disgrace.
Seriously. omg these people have lost it.
He’s hoarse because he’s been raving with his advisors for 10 days.
The drugs kicked in. Look at that man’s face. Pure, unadulterated evil. Eyes as black as the pits of hell.
His eyes certainly are incredibly wide.
I am waiting for the drug induced aneurysm
Eyes are black due to mojolenses!!

nobody believes me…
Does Biden have a bruise on his chin?
Sure looks like it. I don’t remember seeing that before the break.
His chin is disfigured.
The mask is starting to come off.
I hope so
Something wacky going on with Sleepy’s chin. Mask slipping?
Again?
Those tax cuts have been fantastic for our 2-person household. The standard deduction.
Is xiden staring at his shoes or an LCD screen?
The difference in opioids.
Trump wants to eliminate them by getting it out of the country.
Biden wants to eliminate them by snorting it all up his nose with Hunter.
Does it look like Biden knows what occurs? and he believes he is actually doing well due to the made up information he gets….
or do you think he is a knowing liar and participant in this effort to decieve us?
The wicked witch’s chin is melting.
I guess the Dems thought they had the sock puppet trained up so the media can finish the job. I can’t watch this because there is no debate. Trump gets cut off before he can respond to Obama’s puppet. I expected this to be a complete charade and it pretty much is. At least Trump is keeping his cool pretty well. I am glad Trump took him on even though all of the cards are stacked against him for the aftermath. I don’t think most people give a crap and that is how Biden got into the oval office.
Joe just said that Trump devastated the Middle Class.
LOL.
Don’t think even the stupidest Dem Voter will believe that one!
Don’t underestimate their stupidity.
Biden is a problem but people that vote for him are the real problems.
The people who are willing to execute fraud to install Biden are the real problems.
I’m using a Google translator “The Unmumbler” to understand Biden’s speeches.
What is going on with the wrinkles in Joe’s forehead?
Will we finally see him for the lizard man he is?
Reptilian
They appear to be getting deeper.
He’s starting to melt.
The vegatable is literally looking down and READING his comments now. Mouthing the words as they’re read into his hidden earpiece
INFLATION IS A TAX, DIM BULB!!!
The idea that…
How many times has he repeated that?
Both are getting off topic frequently and need to focus on answering the questions asked. That said, Trump is repeating a number of very strong points and hammering FJB big time.
Half of me wants to laugh and the other half wants to cry bc it’s so sad and extremely cruel that anyone thought bringing this man out of the basement was a good idea.
His handlers should be investigated for elder abuse, as this is unacceptable and irresponsible.
I would agree if it were anyone else. My mom doesn’t deserve dementia. Most people don’t.
Joe Biden does deserve this. I see it and say “good.” I’m not sorry, either.
I can’t believe how civil and disciplined Jake and Dana are being.
I’m impressed, actually.
I’m surprised moderators have not interrupted Trump when he answers off-topic or at any time.
Maybe Anonymous Conservative was right, and the Script has Trump winning — so they can then complete the full collapse, blame it on MAGA, and then go after all of us individually for it, en masse.
I know, it sounds crazy.
