It's his trademark word for bullshit.
Oh, I know, but again, it makes him sound even older. It sounds like an expression his dad or grandfather would have used.

Has the debate changed anyone's mind on whom to vote for comes the general election?
If it gives @Jolly some joy, during the first 20-30 minutes even I found myself thinking "I want Trump back in office, maybe I'll vote for him".

If Joe stays in office, I don't think he'd survive beyond 2026. If he stays out of office, he might last a few more years. I get no pleasure in saying this, sorry if I said it before, but Joe.... he has the "look/sound" of someone nearing the end. The froggy old person voice, the transparent hair where you can see freckles on his scalp, the shuffle walk, the beady eyes, the open mouth stare. It's bad.

Me too. Then he lost it. Didn't answer the questions before him, went back to his same old tropes.

I thought that during the short bit I saw that Trump wasn't the same as in previous elections either. He seemed to be completely lacking in charm or any kind of personal connection. I'm not trying to downplay the Biden debacle because he was absolutely horrible, but Trump wasn't that much better. Does anybody really want either of those two to be running the place in 3-4 years time?
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

The odds that Merchan sends Trump to prison in July went up dramatically last night.

Wonder if Manchin is kicking himself this morning?

It’s also a word I use when I tell my 17 year old he’s talking nonsense.
I don’t accept that it is an archaic word in the English lexicon.
Should be used here with impunity to put the resident cullions on notice.

cullions
What a great word! Much cooler than saying "scrote."
From Middle English coillon, from Old French coillon (“testicle"; also, "a vile fellow, coward, dupe”), from Latin coleus (“a leather bag, the scrotum”).

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

NRO: One does not want to start a sentence with: “Number one, I didn’t have sex with a porn star . . .”
True. I’d rather be able to say “Hell yeah, I’ve banged plenty of porn stars”.

I heard an interesting thought. They dosed Biden too late. The particular drug cocktail might take a while to kick in, which is why Biden improved towards the end…

@LuFins-Dad my thought exactly.

Agreed. The debate was a "tap-in putt", to put it in golf terms for him. Trump's record (aside from the COVID impact) is great... a great economy, minimal international conflicts, etc. Biden is old, inflation sucks, the border is open, the Afghan disaster... this was easy for Trump to come in and crush.
But when he did his typical answer to the question of whether he'll accept the election results, he lost me again. "Well if the election is free and fair..." Well, it was in 2020, you lost, you made shit up, you caused a riot, you disgraced the transfer of power. If he had just said "Absolutely, we've identified flaws in the system, the election will be clear this year, and I'll accept the results.... which by the way, will be me."
