Trump lied, as he always does. It’s become the norm, and we’ve accepted his deception as part of his character. We know what to expect from him, and his supporters are unwavering in their loyalty. The focus on Trump’s lies seems almost redundant because it’s like beating a dead horse. We know he lies, we know he’s a fraudster, we know he’s a felon. It’s all par for the course.
But what about Biden? Why is the world suddenly fixated on his performance at the debate? Why are we honing in on his moments of being “tongue-tied”? Well, maybe it’s because we hold Biden to a higher standard.… Continue reading
Tonight’s debate could truly be the defining moment for our country and the international community. With less than five months until the election, the stakes have never been higher. People are sleepwalking through this election cycle, assuming that the same rules apply to a man like Donald Trump. But Trump is not a normal candidate, and we cannot afford to treat him as such.
I, like many others, am hoping for Trump to have the worst night of his life. I want him to fully unravel on live television, exposing himself for the clown that he truly is. The entire world needs to see him for the danger he poses, not just to the United States, but to the global community as a whole.… Continue reading
I sat, glued to my screen, watching the recent debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump unfold before my eyes. The words of Jon Stewart echoed in my mind as he expressed his disbelief at the disastrous display before us. And I found myself nodding along in agreement – this cannot be real life.
The two men, both well past retirement age, stumbling through incoherent answers and petty arguments, left me wondering how we arrived at this point. Jon Stewart’s plea for both candidates to take performance-enhancing drugs to kick their brains into gear struck a chord with me. The future of our nation hangs in the balance, and yet here we are, choosing between two geriatric candidates who seem more concerned with bickering over golf than addressing the monumental issues facing our country.… Continue reading
As I watched the pre-debate banter between Biden and Trump, I found myself both amused and disheartened. The exchange where Biden mockingly boasted about not taking any brain function enhancing drugs, followed by Trump’s nonchalant response, perfectly encapsulated the absurdity of the political climate we find ourselves in today. Love him or hate him, the fact that this was even a topic of discussion demonstrates the chaotic and polarized nature of our current political landscape.
The disparity between the two candidates was glaringly obvious during the debate. While Trump was his usual bombastic self, spewing lies and misinformation with reckless abandon, Biden struggled to find his footing.… Continue reading
Biden’s team had a few demands for a Trump debate. A major one: No crowd. Removing the audience from the equation is a smart move in my opinion. It ensures that the focus remains solely on the candidates and their policies, rather than on getting cheap applause lines or resorting to showmanship to win over the crowd. A debate should be a serious, substantive discussion about the future of our country, not a popularity contest or a circus.
With Trump, the presence of a crowd can often lead to bombastic behavior, interruptions, and distractions. By eliminating the crowd, Biden’s team is essentially forcing Trump to engage in a more thoughtful and respectful manner.… Continue reading
I have always been fascinated by political debates – the clash of ideas, the exchange of viewpoints, the battle of rhetoric. However, in recent years, I must say that these debates have been nothing short of disappointing. Instead of being intellectual battles, they have devolved into shouting matches and interruptions, with little substance or meaningful exchange of ideas.
The proposed conditions for the debate between Biden and Trump, with terms that include having the debate occur inside a TV studio, with microphones that automatically cut off when a speaker’s time limit elapses, and just the two candidates and the moderator – no audience or third-party candidates – seem like a step in the right direction.… Continue reading
As I watched the first debate for the GOP candidates, I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching a circus performance. The moment when candidates were asked to raise their hands if they had ever been arrested was like a clown car crashing into a wall. Six out of the nine candidates proudly raised their hands, eliciting cheers and applause from the audience.
It’s ironic that the party that claims to be the champion of “law and order” is filled with individuals who have had brushes with the law. It’s a clear indication of the hypocrisy within the Republican party.… Continue reading
