True, I guess we’ll just have to use “Jarvankas” for the moment.

When your whole campaign and administration is one giant grift, there’s not a lot of planning for the future or saving for a rainy day.

I may be wrong because I avoid situations where I have to watch Cheeto Mussolini but it seems to me the sniffing is most pronounced when he has to read (use teleprompters). Perhaps they have him snort Ritalin to keep him focused on the text.
Last night was off-the-cuff, so no need to feed him Ritalin. He was just running on pure rage.
Far as I am concerned with reference to the “depressed stuff” … I’m not depressed … but I am embarrassed still that we elected a fucking bully boy buffoon. It’s disgusting. I’m angry and embarrassed, not depressed or beaten down. It was a margin of about 80,000 votes in critical places that handed trump the keys to the Oval Office. We voted in an utterly unprepared and failed real estate developer to be our head of state. We did it to ourselves. I hope to God we don’t make the same mistake twice. If we do it will most certainly mean the end of the America we have grown up with. As it is with what trump has done to us there will be o “going back to normal” That “normal” is dead and gone. Killed by trump’s disastrous time in office.

Well, I couldn’t disagree more. Trump may be trying to depress the vote, but I don’t see it being successful. My reaction to this debate is that I’d walk barefoot over hot coals to make sure that we don’t have to hear from this fat, ugly asshole for the next 4 years. And I don’t think I’m alone in that. As for the attempt to scare voters and say he’s going to contest the election-I see that motivating people to get out and give Biden a landslide if only to put Trump onto a position where his whining and sniveling will not be able to affect the outcome.

Oh man, you are not alone.

I really do want to see trump suffer massive public embarrassment at a level he cannot possibly spin his way out of and his enablers run for cover.

And Quinnipiac has Trump 48, Biden 47 in South Carolina. South Carolina! If it’s within 5 points in South Carolina it will be a landslide nationally. And that was before the shit show in Cleveland. I wonder what it will be next week…

Watching the debate was simply painful. It took me two hours to relax enough to go to sleep afterward. And I’m not even American! My only hope is that enough Americans were so disgusted by it all, that they will vote in droves to shut him up for good.
That said, Mr. Squire makes a point that we would be foolish to forget: Trump has smeared his sh*t on everyone and everything, and clean up will take years, and only if people are determined to make things right.

Scream and smear?
It also reminded me of the classic “spread case” in high school debate.
Interesting point. Noel Casler who worked with Trump on the Apprentice has insisted that Trump snorts Adderall and that he was especially prone to do that when he had to read something, since (obviously) he is barely literate. That goes with your observation. But I remember very well that he was sniffing during the Hillary debates—which was explained away as seasonal allergies. It probably is an all-purpose, all-event stimulant for him. But that makes it surprising that he hadn’t done his Adderall last night—if that’s what his lack of sniffing means. (This is beginning to sound like Sherlock Holmes and the dog that didn’t bark.)

I am so tired of this long, simmering depressed state. I have no choice but to exorcise the source of my malaise. My vote will be cast for Biden as though I am chugging Prozac.

Why do people keep calling this a debate. I call it being yelled at by An Angry Old Man for an hour and a half.
I can probably find you some bars in Rural Oregon where you could get you some more of that if that is what you want.

Trump’s whole strategy is to defecate on the democratic process and then declare it discredited because of the smell. That was pretty much his debate strategy too. Treat the whole thing, not just his opponent, with sneering contempt. Why should he have to run for reelection? He’s already the president. You don’t stop being president just because a bunch of peons vote for someone else. Who dares to infringe on his power by suggesting such nonsense?
