I didn't watch the recent Biden-Trump debate. I never watch debates, because they are useless crap.
Debates are, to borrow Shakespeare's words, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Debates attract blockheads seeking entertainment. Debates make money for the media. Nothing more.
I'm aware, of course, that Biden had an especially bad day, and Trump wove his usual tapestry of preposterous lies. Big woop. No one should be surprised that Biden is old and tired, or that Trump is the same repulsive creep he has been all his life.
Regardless, some Democrats are in a panic, even crying for Biden to drop out of the race. The hearts of Democrats are in the right place, but they can be such sissies.
Well, they need to chill out. Biden is in charge only nominally. A huge government apparatus has his back. The fact that he sometimes catches a cold or needs a nap is of no concern.
The bottom line: the Democratic agenda is appropriate, Biden is a good man, and his vice president is a good woman. If necessary, she could take over for him. And we all should be perfectly comfortable with that.
What matters is to re-elect Biden and defeat Trump, who is, need I remind you, a convicted felon and shameless liar.
How shameless? According to CNN, Trump made 30 claims during the debate that easily were identified as baseless lies. Among them:
Democrat-run states allow babies to be killed after birth.
Biden will open Social Security and medicare to illegal immigrants.
Biden intends to quadruple the federal taxes on every American.
And, of course, his favorite whopper that Biden rigged and stole the 2020 election.
Let's be real. In 2021, Trump attempted a violent insurrection aimed at reversing the election and claiming the presidency for himself. The insurrection failed, and Trump faces criminal charges.
Moreover, when he left office, he was caught stealing a huge volume of classified documents, for which he also faces criminal charges.
People, trot yourself to the ballot box when the time comes, and vote for Joe.
Trump and his fascist supporters will do their best, again, to overthrow American democracy — as we watched on live television as they attempted to do on January 6, 2021.
We need to slap them down at the ballot box — slap them down like we mean it.
