So Fox says Trump is bringing Hunter’s old business partner to the debate. Today the partner released some texts that point to him possibly having lunch with Joe, Jim, and Hunter Biden.
This is the latest smoking gun. Biden’s ex business partner might have had lunch with the Biden men.

I still think it’s even odds that Trump pulls out, or that he refuses to show a negative COVID test and the debate gets cancelled over it. If Trump does appear, you can bet that he will be screaming as loudly as he can when his mike is off, in an effort to distract Biden…hopefully we will be able to see him trying that, so it doesn’t look like Biden is wobbling through his statements. You can also count on lots of distraction, lies, and refusal to answer any questions…and if Welker really goes at Trump over some point he will attack her and just might stalk off. It’s all about dominance for Trump, he just doesn’t realize that it’s a losing play for him.
As for Biden, he’s really been on top of his game the past few weeks, very disciplined and on message, and the town hall last week showed that he knows all about his plans and lots of details. He needs to remain focused tonight, stand up to Trump, and not get angry when Trump attacks Hunter again. If anything, he needs to take on some of Obama’s attitude from his speech yesterday…the incredulousness that Trump has failed America so badly, and the anger over the cost, is very effective and Trump won’t handle it well.
I predict Biden will win on the facts and empathy, Trump will again be a raging asshole disconnected from the truth, and it won’t do anything to help Trump’s campaign. The last is the important factor, Trump has to do something to change the narrative in order to cut into Biden’s polling advantage, and attacking Hunter and being his usual self will not do it. Some people will make up their minds after this debate, and if Trump does the same thing from two weeks ago I bet most of them choose Biden.

I’m only watching for trumpp’s WWE moments which promise to be pretty over the top. He’s got nothing left except to try to personally indict Biden on stage over Huntergate hoping America will buy it and he can put it in the headlines.

It’s frustrating. A not insignificant number of Republicans want their talk radio fantasies to be played out by the POTUS. So here we are - a debate that’s an ambush trying to destroy a recovering drug addict just to get to his dad.

So…do you all have a plan for guarding your TV from hurled projectiles? Maybe tying your hands down?
Just curious.
Or maybe the problem is…shall we say…mute?

For what it’s worth, they announced he had tested negative when he and the First Floozey were deplaning today in Nashville.

Trump And Biden Spar In Final Debate Less Than Two Weeks Before Election
Not yet! Not yet!

It’s not.
Biden said he doesn’t discuss his son’s business with him. That’s it.
They are also trying to prove some sort of link between Joe Biden and a Chinese deal Hunter worked on. Nothing illegal since it was in 2017, but again, just trying to somehow prove that Biden lied about not talking to Hunter about his business.

I think he’s going to cough on Biden at some point.

Donnie’s been reduced to a giant, accusatory finger pointing at everyone else in the hope that it will distract enough attention from his failures so he can get over.

“Hunter Biden” is our drink word.

It’s the same exact playbook as in 2016.
I hope that what we’ve been seeing holds out and that the press and 50%+ of Americans have heard him cry wolf enough to know that he’s always full of shit.
