Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

“woke” is the new caravan.

In addition to the hoedown at Coveritlive, I’ll be live-blogging here. Joe Patrice, a debate expert, will also be liveblogging here, logged on as me.

I’m drinking so I’ll start early. I’m watching MSNBC.

 

8:46 pm  I’m kind of over Ezra Klein.

 

8:54 I think Biden may have already lost this debate.

8:55 This election is already over. Maybe next time we will nominate a real progressive.

9:03 Ryan just seems like such a douche.

9:04 Biden out of the blocks strong, IMHO.

9:05 Ryan sucks. Crappy voice. That sigh.

9:05 Ryan really is bad, just doesn’t come across well on tv. And I said that as someone who doens’t think Mitt comes across that badly.

9:09 “These guys bet against America all the time”.

9:14 The trouble is that no one really cares about foreign policy.

9:18. Martha Raddatz is very good. I like her.

9:24. Joe is better than I am at this, so just read him. I’ll be joking around over at Coveritlive instead.

9:47 Ryan is impish and glassy-eyed.

9:53 Comment of the night from commenter elizabelle: “Ryan’s forehead looks like corduroy.”

    I’ll be watching from the corner this time. Thank you, DougJ, and also MisterMix, for taking the time to deal with all this agita…

    @Anne Laurie: Anne Laurie, I’m starting to believe that if I met all of the Balloon-Juice front pagers in person, you might be the only one I’d generally like. Well, you and maybe Kay. She seems cool, too.

    Ain’t trying that shit downstairs. I think I’d spend so much time fucking with it that I’d miss the damn debate. I think we’ve pushed the concept of synchronous communication past its practical boundaries. I’ll stay here and read at my own damn pace.

    I think Ezra is definitely a neo-liberal, but he did a great takedown of Willard’s variously dishonest stance on health care last week.

    It’s on. Come on, Uncle Joe! Stomp his ass.

    8:55 This election is already over. Maybe next time we will nominate a real centrist, like Joe Lieberman, who will work with the Republicans in good faith.

    Paul Ryan is looking down! Paul Ryan is looking down! AND TAKING NOTES! I hit the shift lock by accident, and this debate is over.

    Ryan’s first lie — no military guards in Libya. Was that 20 seconds in? Weren’t a couple of the dead guards?

    Tonal Crow

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist: Looking down and taking notes is a sign of intelligence and leadership for Republicans, and a sign of weak-mindedness, wish-washyness, and depravity for Democrats. Didn’t you get the memo?

    The State Dept. doesn’t use “military” guards anyway. They have Diplomatic Security Agents and the SPS contractors, as well as the PSS contracts.
