Joe Biden threw down the gauntlet on Wednesday, directly challenging former President Donald Trump – his expected 2024 rival — to not one, but two debates. Within hours, CNN announced via press release that it would be hosting the first debate in the presidential rematch on June 27 in the key battleground state of Georgia — where Trump remains under criminal indictment for attempting to interfere with the results of the 2020 election.

lmao

Participating candidates will be required to “appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to the eligibility deadline” — meaning that potential third-party candidate RFK Jr. will likely be unable to take the stage.

Gonna be interesting to see whose amphetamines wear off first

Gonna be interesting to see whose amphetamines wear off first

This really is a battle of who has the better pharmacist. Also, I fear that if I watch this debate the collective insanity of the two of them will sonically liquidate my brain

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

I really want a break down on the strategy of giving them enough drugs to keep them sharp but not too many that they crash by the end of 2 hours.

Maybe a secondary analysis of risk vs reward of trying to get some mild uppers in their water bottle.

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago

I want a sports-style play by play with a panel of pharmacologists and drug users deciphering their every move.

"Look at his pinky fingers twitching at different times, that's a telltale sign they've got him on at least 5mg of oxymethlnabacalcifermin. That's a risky move given it's short-lived high but it might get him through the worst of this"

look look the second capsule is dissolving, you can see the pupils start to dilate and the perspiration increases

when you're right you right, dave. look at him go about immigration. If second dose doesn't hit for genocide joe, he is in big trouble. I heard they've tried harder gelatine due to higher acidity in his stomach

lets see if it pays off for them

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

Hasan and the Chapo boys are missing an opportunity by not doing this

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 78 points 5 months ago

hope they fuck up their dosage, i want corn pop and hannibal lecter battle, not some boring 10 percent this 25 percent that

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 41 points 5 months ago

I just want to see Biden draw a clock

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

I want to see him draw a Glock

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

I want them so zooted that the outcome of the debate is an Odd Couple-style small plates restaurant.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 56 points 5 months ago

Dear God, you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever

[-] dumpster_dove@hexbear.net 54 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I hope Biden's eye explodes again right off the bat, and things escalate from there

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago

Honestly, gas leak, just send the entire hall up in flames

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago
[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

like that scene in inglorious basterds

[-] someone@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

How dare you make fun of Biden's public-event eye-bleeding. It's just a stutter. Why do you love Trump?

[-] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 53 points 5 months ago

They're really both gonna be in the same place at the same time?

[-] RION@hexbear.net 44 points 5 months ago

Anderson Cooper has the potential to do the funniest thing ever

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 34 points 5 months ago

anyone in that room has the chance to become the greatest hero of our time

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

"Well then... I did not have that on my bingo card hehe"

Entire lib family looks at me with anger and disappointment

[-] Zrc@hexbear.net 50 points 5 months ago
[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

Last person to directly address somebody that isn't there wins.

sicko-hyper raiden-source en garde

to not one, but two debates

sicko-wistful what do we gotta do for these geriatric oligarchs to fucking hack at each other with blades

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 38 points 5 months ago

Finally some circus to entertain us

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

That's really all I want out of this. Honestly, my mind has been made up since Obama's second term about voting for these ghouls.

Just entertain me while the place falls apart

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

Also bread. Could use some more of that food share

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

I'm a baker. I can't get away from bread anymore

[-] trabpukcip@hexbear.net 37 points 5 months ago

sicko-wistful tfw no sons debate

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 35 points 5 months ago

The only way I'd watch is if Biden shoots acid blood out of his eye onto Trump like a xenomorph.

[-] Sleve_McDichael@hexbear.net 34 points 5 months ago
[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

This is a thrill similar to Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul or Kendrick vs Drake for me

I hope Biden says Jack and I hope Trump calls him a pedophile.

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

Look Jack, you're trying to strike...strike... it's a B major

[-] sempersigh@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Why oh god WHY does it have to be so fucking EARLY??? They usually(if not always?) have general election pres debates in September/october

we can’t get any god damn rest before this horseshit

[-] Chronicon@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

cant have the cable watchers tuning out of the election cycle. it has to be a big stupid spectacle or people might get ideas about how democratic it really is

[-] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

I can't wait to watch them fight over who would be the most unapologetic supporter of genocide. distress

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

Remember when they fought over who was the bigger China hawk last time?

Do we have a jack Johnson/John Jackson Futurama emoji?

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago
[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago

Trumps gonna insist they drop the requirement to turn off mics when it's not your turn and then if they don't do that back out saying they were being very unfair to him and the most gullible pathetic people in the world will see that as a sign of strength and his approval will go up 5 points.

That or Trump just brings a bull horn and pulls that out when they turn off his mic.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)
[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

I hope it's a literal slap fight and nothing else. Maybe some three stooges eye poking

[-] abc@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

Biden sir....you don't have to do this but fuck it, it'll be funny to watch if not morbid. Can't wait for one of them to have a heart attack on stage

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago
[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Trump is gonna rip a big fart and then Biden is gonna be visibly upset and Trump will deny the whole thing and be declared the winner

[-] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago
