The Onion was on fire tonight. Best live reactions out there.

I'd say my normal "BOOM! roasted!"

But I have a feeling they'd just say

"yeah, exactly."

My favorite quote from the whole thing so far. Really says a lot about the Biden presidency when he took away the H2O.

No Carbohydrates! No H20! No electrons! We are imposing a vacuum sealed environment for explosive collision experimentation!

I was out playing board games and planned on catching up on the debate tomorrow. Did the onion do their own thing I need to watch too?

[–] kinkles@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Honestly do yourself a huge favor and don’t watch it. 99.9% of it was disgustingly depressing. Trump’s H2O comment was about the only thing that was funny.

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 8 points 4 months ago

Yeah both of them were terrible. Basically a giant waste of time.

Tried to watch it - couldn't. Orange felon went full Gish gallop and moderators let him. Biden was overwhelmed with bullshit.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yep I watched for 2-3 minutes and turned it off. Trump spewing orange diarrhea and Biden distracted by scanning the audience for the Grim Reaper.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 4 months ago

In all seriousness, Biden clapped back harder in the second half and had some great parts where he actually outlined some good shit for the future and what he's gotten done in the past. Hopefully, the next debate is during the day when it's sunny and he's not sick with a cold.

He should stick to the overarching points in debates in the future. 2-3 points, speak slower, more measured, smile when his idiot opponent shoots himself in the foot by rambling.

"We knock on wood wherever we may have wood" lmfao

You know things are bad when the onion uses direct quotes from a debate
