Who said what during the debate:
Wallace: “Please, gentlemen!”
Me: “Jesus, there are no rules? And no commercials?”
Biden: “Would you shut up, man”
Wallace: “Mr. President, did you pay $750 in taxes last year?”
Biden: “You are the worst president America has ever had.”
Wallace (shouting, legit full-on shouting at the president): “NO!”
Me: “Are we just going to cut back to Rachel Maddow with her head on the desk?”
Wallace: “Condemn white supremacy.”
Trump: “…”
Biden: “My son was a drug addict. He got over it.”
Me: “Shhh, Joe. There’s a drug addict right there.”
Biden: “I’m having trouble following his ranting.”
Wallace: “I’m having a little trouble myself.”
What could have been done? All I can say is to agree the moderator should be allowed to cut the mic, or else the moderator could quietly ask his question and if a candidate was talking over it and didn’t hear it, too bad.
Just embarrassing.

Trevor Noah suggested debate moderators use a spray bottle. He says it will keep Trump quiet because his hair “turns into a gremlin when it gets wet.”
I can understand if the undecided voters (all ten of them) didn’t get much out of the debate, but I’m one of the 31% who found the debate entertaining. I really enjoyed it.
Biden’s campaign has put out a new shirt with a pic of Trump and the words “Shut up, Man.” I thought Biden looked stronger against Trump than the several Republicans in the 2015 primaries.
Arlene – I saw that Trevor Noah bit! That was hilarious. I would have enjoyed the debate if I had taken a break. The relentless 90 minute schedule was too much for me.
I’m so very tired and afraid, something I’ve never been (or let myself be). The hubs and I were originally hoping to go to Scotland this November for our combined b-days/anniversary, but obviously had to cancel. Still taking the week of Nov 2nd (as usual) off to stay home for day trips (and in case the apocalypse happens, lol?). I want to believe common sense and human decency/caring will prevail, but I have a feeling that’s wishful thinking in the extreme.
Lisa – this year is the worst ever. The extended hell of 2020 was nothing compared to this.
