his finger on nuclear weapons

[uriel1972]

Die Welt (Germany)

"Donald Trump's appearance was the condensed version of his presidency: loud, unrestricted, arrogant and poor in substance. The TV duel is an example of what happens when the unwritten norms of civil discourse are abandoned."


Le Monde (France)

"Trump-Biden face-to-face: a worrying debate for American democracy

Editorial. From the messy clash between Donald Trump and Joe Biden on Tuesday evening, we will especially remember the threat that the president persists in letting hang over the validity of the November 3 ballot. A danger for democracy."


El Pais (Spain)

"Chaos and personal attacks mark the first debate between Trump and Biden.
The Democratic candidate endures the type before the attacks of a president who subscribes to the techniques of 2016. "There is nothing intelligent in you," the Republican snapped."

10. I have several friends who are from and live overseas.

Regardless of the time zone differences, they watched the debate.

They aren't laughing.

They are horrified.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

11. China seems to be getting their people in a mindset for war more than laughing at us.

Like this one entitled: Does this US military uniform suggest it is preparing for war with China?
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3103464/does-us-military-uniform-suggest-it-preparing-war-china

And this one: Keep China out of US presidential election drama, Beijing tells Trump, Biden
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3103473/keep-china-out-us-presidential-election-drama-beijing-tells

And then there's this eye raiser: Chinese military fires ‘aircraft-carrier killer’ missile into South China Sea in ‘warning to the United States’

13. I think the whole world should be prepared that trump could create a lot of chaos b4 November

One way would be a trump attack on China over south China seas

I can not wait til the end of January when we will (hopefully) be sane again
and our CINC is not trump

[Mister Ed]

12. Our adversaries, yes.

I think our long-time friends and allies must be sickened and horrified.

[JHB]

14. Just the authoritarian ones

The rest were trying to overdose on antacids.
