Free press was the joke of the night. If there is one left, they were not invited..

[@karlerik7593]

"Bloodbath" spin, again???? Really, "Biden the honest"??? & all this talk of support of journalists, but no mention of Assange???? Shameful

Did anyone actually watch a convicted s assaulting criminal fraud that praises Russia quotes Hitler and wants to take all of your rights? Trump attempted a coup on January 6th. End of story. There's no debate on who we should pick for president. It all ends right there

[@MMAfighter38113]

Joe should ask himself “why aren’t I 50 pts ahead of a guy with 88 indictments”???

[@rationallyjustified]

Well because a lot of media like Fox News newsmax right wing insane people that are defending Trump are constantly lying, slandering and defaming. And then you have members of Congress like James comer and Jim Jordan that are actively working with Russian spies to try to impeach a sitting US president, which is I mean treason in my book

In fairness, is Joe a cheater, and a dictator, or is he senile? I'm gonna preface this by saying, I'm not a fan of Joe. I definitely won't be voting for Donnie, I'm blown away that someone that embodies all seven deadly sins has so many lemmings behind him, thinking he cares about them. I have true pity for all of them.
