Excellent body cam images. The take-down was superbly executed. Keep in mind this Trumptoid is 6'8". Now that's something a Trumptoid can understand and appreciate. This guy looks like a Viking and they take him down, right quick. Do you think he was ever a member of the Aryan brotherhood? What's your take on this guy reportedly flipping out by his wife or whoever? How about Michael Caputo going out on medical leave after ranting about conspiracies involving Democratic hit squads? What's your take on those? Are you ready? Lol!

Greg, what's the matter with you? No "BS" commentary from you? Do you have a problem with how the police took down Trump's now ex campaign manager? Looked like a perfectly executed take down to me.  Police hit him hard and fast and then boom!, he's on the ground! Care to critique it? Why don't you give your trademark middle finger to the Florida PD if you have a problem with it? Why shoot the messenger instead? Common greg, what's the problem with the hit?

Biden win.....LOL

It was a damn train wreck on both sides of the fence and one of the more irritating cases of moderation I have experienced thank to Wallace.....

Since yall seem to think I am part of his base let me say this. The "debate" was as I said above a train wreck for both sides.

About the only thing I have good to say was it tickled me a bit that Trump got Biden to break every promise he made to Bernie Sanders.

Covid-19 data and graphs

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Tired of hearing how “Trump killed thousands” because of covid...perhaps y’all conveniently forget that Trump came out and said (after he closed the borders and banned travel from China early on and was chastised by the left as xenophobic) he was going to allow the Governors to handle each states own response to covid and put the Federal govt resources at their disposal. He sent the Mercy and Comfort to NY and Cali and they weren’t used, he set up huge field hospitals and they weren’t used. He provided respirators and they weren’t used. Instead 5 dem governors put infected people in with uninfected elderly patients of nursing homes purposely!!! Nursing home deaths were the majority of the covid deaths...this wasn’t an accident it was culling out the old and infirm. Premeditated murder and these 5 governors need to be held accountable for these unnecessary deaths!

"[I'm] tired of hearing how “I killed thousands” because of covid...perhaps y’all conveniently forget that I came out and said (after I closed the borders and banned travel from China early on and was chastised by the left as xenophobic) [that I] was going to allow the Governors to handle each state's own response to covid and put the Federal govt resources at their disposal.

The last line might be a bit much, but Trump could have done so much better in response to these questions than he did.  He really failed to play up his strengths on the economy.  He choose instead to interrupt, eye roll, argue with the moderator, talk over Biden and so on.  I suppose this does play well with Trump's base, but the base alone is probably not going to win the election for him.

I agree with the assessment that the last couple sentences are pushing it a bit......but it sure LOOKS like that could be the case. I heard today that the folks who control the debate process plan to change the rules midstream and cut the mic off for the candidate who does not have the floor for future debates. It is a shame that neither one could control themselves and yes I admit Trump was somewhat worse than Biden in that regard....however Biden didnt trail far behind him. I dont believe either one of them can be adult about it and shut the fuck up when they arent supposed to be speaking. The end result for me was I was embarrassed for  BOTH of them.....They are running for the highest office in the US..... Both of them should have the maturity to act like it.

I think what we saw last night was Trump's real personality unleashed, and it's not a pretty sight.

Horse shit......Wallace tried to make it the "Wallace-Trump debate" several times. All 3 of them did a horrible job last night.....
