The Proud Boys have now adopted the "Stand Back, Stand By" line as a slogan and have stated they believe this is the Trump way of giving them permission to fuck up AntiFa shit.
Stormfront declared Trump to be the greatest president ever and stated that he should be king.
I will not provide links.
Trump stated he has the support of the "Portland Sheriff". The Multnomah County sheriff has stated he has never supported Trump and he never will, and also stated Trump has caused more trouble in Portland than relieved it.

Speaking of the Proud Boys, here's video of Gavin McGinness advocating violence. (Apparently FB no longer allows you to shre videos.)

Joe Biden's best line of the night: "Will you shut up, man?"
I applauded when he said that. Biden had clearly been a little by Trump's bullying interruptions, and he struggled to find a way to respond to hisGish Gallop rants.
This was not a "debate" in any real sense. It was an embarrassing display of alpha male outrage that made our presidential election look like a circus sideshow.
The Presidential Debate Commission needs to insist that only the microphone be switched on for the person whose time it is to speak. That would allow the moderator to give extra time to the speaker when the opponent tried to interrupt. The problem is that their rules require all debaters to agree to the rules, and they can't get that kind of agreement. So they should insist on it or simply stop organizing debates. These kinds of personal interactions can still take place by opening both microphones up, but under control of a moderator who can shut them off when the time limit is up. And they should tell moderators to consider themselves responsible for keeping to a schedule, not acting as a mere sideline referee.
It was more like a wrestling match, and we all know those matches are legit.
And sometimes the wrestlers get to just bark it up about how great they are. The people who love this stuff love this stuff.
Can we have an actual debate? That would be nice.

Yeah, these are the people that boo'd Roman Reigns because... they don't remember anymore (Bryan Daniels eliminated in Royal Rumble by someone else and Reigns wins), they are pretty sure it was about booking though and how they probably could do it better.Joe Biden's best line of the night: "Will you shut up, man?"

I suspect you'll see one six weeks after I get a blowjob from a unicorn. Such a concept is gone in US politics and I doubt it's coming back.

Yep. You are a 100% correct. The Portland Sherriff is a democrat. Does not like Trump. He's also not afraid of Antifa and can handle the protests without the feds. In fact, he says that the feds made it far worse (which we all know on this forum). I almost started a thread on all the lies that Trump sprouted yesterday. But does it really matter? Everyone knows that he's a liar.

Wow. Every single word you have written is wrong, including "and" and "the".

Well, neither of them did all that well, but neither of them did worse than expected. They both did just well enough to convince their own base that they won the debate and no better.
Neither of them gained much ground, but neither of them really lost much ground.

With whom? The President? That would take a actual miracle.
I'm holding out a tiny fragment of hope that Harris and Pence will be able to focus on a topic for a few spare minutes before they get goaded into a brawl by the moderators.

The Health 202: Health care was first up in last night's caustic presidential debate - The Washington Post
Andrew Egger on Twitter: "It's REALLY wild that Trump is currently running interference against *his own CDC.* Biden brings up Redfield's comments that masks are important; Trump immediately contradicts it." / Twitter
Megan McArdle on Twitter: ""My summary of the first segment: President Trump looked like a belligerent, selfish jerk. Vice President Biden looked like he couldn't handle a belligerent, selfish jerk."" / Twitter
Chris Megerian on Twitter: "The president is interrupting Joe Biden as he tries to speak directly to people who lost loved ones to the coronavirus." / Twitter
Casey Mattox on Twitter: "#Debates2020 run time tonight: 90 min.
Total talk time
Pres. Trump: 90 min.
Biden: 90 min." / Twitter
Ben Shapiro on Twitter: "Perhaps the strategy here is for Trump to tire Biden out. We're all tired, and it's 33 minutes in." / Twitter
Andrew Sullivan on Twitter: "This is excruciating in ways I didn’t even know I could be excruciated." / Twitter
Sarah Kliff on Twitter: "Every presidential debate begins with 30 minutes of health care debate, its in the constitution" / Twitter
Or so it might seem.
Lanhee J. Chen on Twitter: "Biden just said that his public option proposal only applies to those on Medicaid. That's not what his website says... https://t.co/36AWForehF" / Twitter
Seems like Biden misspoke himself.
The authors listed seven takeaways:

Wow, that would be shocking. Could this be a parody? I'm suspicious that even Trump could be so bold.

I think that will be a better exchange simply because Trumpo won't be there.
Can't find the article but after yesterday's debacle they are looking at rule changes. I would like to see them not be able to hear when the other person interrupts. Also, the moderator should be behind a curtain, voice only, get that fucker's appearance and personality out of the product. Also, they shouldn't be able to see each other. They can shake when it's all over but during their responses they should be looking at a camera.
It should just be a rational exchange, not something for children.
