Since I don't have any way to watch CNN I will be watching on Taibbi's X account where he is hosting a drinking game. If I actually play the drinking game by his rules I will be catatonic in less than an hour unless I go with my low alcohol beer. Even with that I will never see 8:00PM.
Some of the rules:
DRINKING GAME. TAKE A SIP ONLY WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD/WORDS:
Felon.
Insurrection.
“Christians.” Double for “Persecuted Christians.”
Any of: Rigged, Crooked, Marxist, “Religions Freedom,” “Weaponizing,” “World war.”
Any of: Existential, Threat, “Our Democracy,” “At Stake,” or “Soul of a Nation.”
Any of: “C’mon, man,” MAGA, “Not a Joke,” “We’re the United States of America,” “President Obama and I.”
One evergreen rule is that YOU MUST DRINK EVERY TIME A CANDIDATE LIES. Beyond that, DRINK EVERY TIME:
Either CNN host brings up January 6th. If they use the word “insurrection,” you don’t have to drink twice.
Trump says he won in 2020 or warns that 2024 will not be honest, e.g. “If I knew there would be no corruption, I’d stop campaigning now.”
Biden says something unintelligible, turns his back on the camera, begins undressing, or generally does anything suggesting he’s forgotten where he is.
Trump accuses Biden of being on performance-enhancing drugs. Double shot if he sniffles while doing it.
Trump brings up Hunter.
Biden says, in response, “I love my son.” Double if he non-answers the actual question about Hunter.
Trump compares himself to a great president or unassailable historical figure: Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Joan of Arc, etc. A double if it’s Jesus, or a long-incarcerated political prisoner like Mandela, Sakharov, or Solzhenitsyn.
On the ropes, Biden evokes Beau.
Trump mentions “Al Capone” or someone who is “my friend.”
“You’re fired, Joe.”
Biden evokes “Detention camps.”
Biden pulls a J.J. Redick and drops a quasi-profanity in there, e.g. “We got to remember who the hell we are.”
Trump brings up someone who was killed by “Biden migrant crime.”
If the debate has to be halted for medical reasons, FINISH YOUR BEVERAGE.
It'll be streamed live in soo many places. I wonder if the audience watching vs radio listening only will come away with a different opinion like the Nixon debate.
BTW, you should start researching hangover cures 🤣
Oh man, I'd stick with Dr Pepper and probably still get tipsy with those rules 😁😁🙂
At the least, for those among us who do not imbibe, one could print that off as a checklist for when those things are said. About 90% of those drink triggering words will be checked off is my guest.
I think there will be 3 things Biden will say over and over. Maga Republicans, Trumps policies will cause inflation to go up and that if Trump is elected it is a "Threat to democracy"
I thought the debate was supposed to only be on CNN also but i guess its being "simulcast" on all the major networks fwiw.
Here's a better idea....
Don't waste a moment of your life watching that shitshow....savor a nice glass of your go to spirit while reading a book, workin on your bike or some other worthwhile endeavor.
Life is too short to waste time on clowns.

I'm up at 4:30am.
Out the door by 6:00am.
On site by 7:00am.
I'll be fast asleep long before they even hook joe up to the I.V. bag.
Sometimes I 1000% agree with Magoobs
Yeah. 9:00 PM is also way past my bedtime. It starts at 6:00PM here. You guys get fucked on Sunday, Monday and THU night football too.
Not a football fan.
But I damn sure get screwed on west coast SX races.
How many times will Biden use the term convicted felon ? While completely ignoring the fact he was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial himself.
Oh shit! That would be a killer comeback for Trump. "You're not even mentally equipped to stand trial." Innocent by reason of geriatrics. Actually it's innocent on account of he's a Democrat but facts are not allowed in this debate.
There are people actually claiming Bidens appearances are a body-double and someone will be debating for him wearing a mask tonight.
Fu**king lunatics on all sides these days.

If ya think about it, the drinking game makes sense…
After the 1st round of Q’s, you’re guaranteed to have good buzz goin…& by the time the CNN Leftist Moderators start in with “Insurrection” & “Convicted” this & that…
We’ll all be as delirious as the residing President of the United States! 🇺🇸
I’m jus’ sayin’…
C'mon Man! You never watched Bum Fights? Same thing just bigger stakes.
T MINUS 15 MINUTES TILL...???
I dont know...all out car crash entertainment?
Lets all pray for clarity.
"Fact of the matter is" drink
I'm doubling down. No way Biden will be the Dem nominee. Holy shit what a disaster. Trump is bad enough. Won't answer a question but holy shit, Biden should be in a wheelchair chasing candy stripers to smell their hair in an old folks home.
Pit Row
I'm with you there borg.....what a cluster JB is stumbling on about, wow
Max Headroom...
I did not watch (as I mentioned earlier)....but looked at the news reports...is anyone surprised of the outcome.
His handlers put him out there knowing he was going to shit the bed.... gives the base fire and a very real reason to rally for a replacement for the ticket. "We'll hear "we love you Joe....but it's time to step aside".
Change my mind.
Do you think they have a replacement in mind already and a plan, or will there be infighting about who the replacement is?
It would have to be that cuck running California.
My bet is Manchelle Obamma. Barry been drooling for a fourth term.
I think they already have a replacement in mind and have had someone else for a while now. The dems have been putting Joe out there as the nominee to keep the Republicans thinking he is their choice, focusing on him and not the real nominee (Gavin Newsome).
Reading your post the first thing that came to mind was him being in a wheelchair, the only hair at nose level, no wonder the're all shaved clean these days. LOL
^^^^ This.
God help us if that car salesman gets his hands on the country's tiller.
Tried to watch it at the United Club at LAX…I lasted about an hour…couldn’t believe what I was seeing…
