Cringeworthy first Presidential debate! People go by impressions, not content...I have never seen a candidate look so old and weak as Biden...the party really needs to ask him to retire..but who is the party? There isn't any these days..?!

I didn't watch but it's been reported that Biden was sick enough to have taken a Covid test prior to the debate. I'm guessing that's why TFG didn't pull out of the event.

They are both too old. One reason to understand that you must have term limits AND age limits for public office.
I mentioned, a while back, that the dems had nobody else. I was pleasantly corrected. Get Gretchen Whitmer in there, in a hurry. Trump will surely lose to her.

That's probably it for Biden as a president... Not brave enough to retire in time (too late now). Democrats would have had plenty of good alternatives.

The other guy is feeble too, but that's not really the point...

"We finally beat Medicare" - how can a Democratic candidate possibly say that in a debate? Must be losing his mind...

I was really enjoying Jon Stewart's show on Apple TV+, and the podcast that would get posted to YouTube. Unfortunately that situation didn't work when Stewart criticized corporate profits, including those of Apple, during an interview with Former Secretary of the Treasurer Larry Summers. Since then he's gone back to hosting the Daily Show once a week, and a few weeks ago launched a new podcast called 'The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart'. I'm getting caught up on past episodes now.

As predicted Conservatives were wiped out in British elections yesterday. Even Liz Truss lost her seat.

Labour 410 (+209), Conservatives 119 (-248), Liberal Democrats 71 (+63) and Scottish National Party 9 (-38). 35 seats to minor parties and independents + 6 seats still to be called.

The way it should be. A proper collection of divergent ideas and ideals.

If you want some definitive proof that ABC destroyed the audio in Biden's interview, here you are.

Left: original audio
Right: denoised audio

Bidens mic was EQ'd to pick up as much low end and high end ambient noise as possible, which is why his voice sounds so much more distorted than Stephanopoulos. Even with noise removal, the audio was beyond salvaging.

You can listen for yourself.

Biden team, if you're listening, never do another network interview/speech unless your own audio engineers get to set up the equipment.

The first video has a lot of static in the Biden audio. Is that what I'm supposed to notice?

One challenge Biden has is that Americans don't respect age and seniors in general the way Indians, Chinese, Japanese etc do...Americans are obsessed with youth. Maybe they should name Whitmer or Kamala President and give Biden a role as senior adviser .why not even Vice President?!
