AC,
I didn't know about that: do you have any references to Biden touching kids or any evidence ? Has there been a court case that we didn't hear about, which found him guilty ? Has he done time for pedophilia ? Of course, if there are no such news sources, no evidence, then he is obviously innocent and the victim of 'fake news'. So easy to do from one's armchair.

Mr Knobhead Opinion I think Trump steamrollered poor old Biden. It was sad and Biden just does not have it. I remember Biden's speech where he bragged that he had a foreign prosecutor sacked and laughed. The prosecutor was supposed to be investigating Biden's Son and Biden also thought it amusing that this dismissal was also sanctioned by the then president Obama. Don't have a lot of time for any sort of corruption and US politics is awash with it!

Well folks - the US Presidential election is
just around the corner and today we had the opportunity to witness a debate from the two candidates running for office. The current US President Donald Trump seeking re-election and a former Vice-President - Joe Biden seeking the job. I waited eagerly to see this debate on the current problems the US is facing - from the COVID pandemic, to the economy, to the problems of race, law enforcement, violence, health issues, and many others. My expectations were high. I expected a debate on issues, on policies. Instead I got neither. It wasn't a debate or a discussion. It generated down into personal attacks and insults. The bar was dropped so low that all I could think of was - Poor America! Who won this so called "debate". NOBODY! America lost! Mr Trump was the worst. He did a great big "dump" on democracy!

cont'd ...
Trump plainly arrived to shred the official debate rules and shed any pretense of a discussion. His honking interruptions blared without interruption. So did his put-downs. In some ways it can be entertaining to see a politician drop all pretence and start hurling his own waste at his opponent like a primate at the zoo. But the intensity and unrelenting nature of the rudeness quickly ceased to be interesting and became simply depressing. "This was a hot mess, inside a dumpster fire, inside a train wreck", CNN's Jake Tapper said on air shortly after the candidates left the stage. "It wasn't even a debate - it was a disgrace". The sad thing is - it's not clear where to go in the 3 remaining debates. The next coming up will be between Vice President Mike Pence and Democrat Kamala Harris which is coming up shortly and then there will be two more Trump-Biden encounters later in October. It's hard to imagine the next debates between the two men being more debased and debasing this one has been. Perhaps someone can get through to see if they can't be coaxed to a higher level. We can only hope. Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 30 September 2020 8:55:30 PM

http://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/29/politics/donald-trump-joe-biden-debate-poll/index.html
"(CNN) Six in 10 debate watchers said...Biden did the best job in Tuesday's debate, and just 28% say President Donald Trump did, according a CNN Poll of debate watchers conducted by SSRS.
In interviews with the same voters conducted before the debate, 56% said they expected Biden to do the better job while 43% expected that Trump would.
[HOWEVER] "The post-debate result is about the same as the outcome of a post-debate poll in 2016 after the first debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton. In that poll, 62% thought Clinton won the debate, 27% said Trump did."
SO REGARDLESS OF THIS CNN POLL, TRUMP MAY STILL WIN ELECTION!
