Final analysis: Biden did not lose, so he won.<\/p>\n
Trump really didn’t make a case for himself though.<\/p>\n
I am at no risk of alcohol poisoning at this juncture, so I call this personal win.
<\/b><\/p>\n
10:37pm<\/b>:
The debate is over, thank God.<\/p>\n
It was far less chaotic than I had anticipated.
<\/b><\/p>\n
10:35pm<\/b>:
OK, I have learned that rum and coke is dangerous.<\/p>\n
This may be the drunkest I have ever been in a debate. <\/p>\n

F%$# this, I need to watch cat videos.

He has managed not to lose so far.<\/p>\n
10:29pm<\/b>:
Trump is talking about the bird kills and massive carbon footprint of windmills.<\/p>\n
This is a lie.<\/b><\/p>\n
He goes back to claiming that Biden will ban fracking. (False)

10:26pm<\/b>:
Had to feed the cats some wet food to make sure that Destructo gets enough water in his diet.<\/b><\/p>\n

I am completely sh%$ faced.
<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n
10:14pm<\/b>:
<\/b>Trump brings up a valid point: Biden has over 40 years in politics, and over 8 years as VP, and these things were never addressed.<\/p>\n
Don’t know whether this will stick.<\/p>\n
Thank god for real-time spell checking. Without it, this will be comepletely incpomprehensible.<\/p>\n
10:12pm<\/b>:
I am unequivocally drunk.<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n
10:10pm<\/b>:
Biden talks relatively honestly, but does not mention his role in shepherding Clinton’s horrible crime bill through the Senate.<\/p>\n
Trump brings up the 1994 crime bill. (True) And claims that he has done more for the minority community than anyone since Lincoln (F%$#ing lie).<\/p>\n

Trump says that the stimulus is a bailout for blue cities and states, and handouts to illegal aliens.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Trump claims that Biden will create a single payer system.<\/p>\n
This is:<\/p>\n
9:46pm<\/b>:
Shifts to Amy Coney Barret and Obamacare.<\/p>\n
Trump claims credit for eliminating the personal mandate, and that Obamacare sucks. <\/p>\n

Screw that. I want to know how we get out of forever wars, and how we stop the US from being a purveyor of misery and drone strikes.
<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n
9:19pm<\/b>:
I am watching on the BBC, because American talking heads make me ill.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there is some sort of problem at the Beeb studios, with libs not matching the words.<\/p>\n
It’s refreshingly surreal.<\/p>\n
10:38pm<\/b>:
It’s over. Jeebus. I need a f%$#ing drink.
<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/b><\/p>\n

Getting some cross-talk now drinking.
<\/b><\/p>\n
