According to MSNBC, the big disadvantage for Biden in the upcoming debates is that the bar is set so incredibly high. Regarding Trump's bar (according to MSNBC):

This whole flipping things to make Trump the one with dementia is one of the more incredible gaslighting schemes that I have seen.

Same people that will also tell you men can have periods and can get pregnant, and grocery prices are coming down. Complete detachment from reality is a feature at MSNBC not a bug. MSNBC would be called a satire site if not for the fact they expect you to take them seriously. Scary part is I actually know people who do take them seriously and believe without question everything they say.

Panic! MAGAs are going to create "Clarence Thomas’s America"!

Quote
    Indeed, Republicans would feel politically compelled to do so. Last week, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, Southern Baptists, voted “for the resolution opposing IVF, which also urged the denomination’s members ‘to advocate for the government to restrain actions inconsistent with the dignity and value of every human being, which necessarily includes frozen embryonic human beings.’” No one should doubt that if the GOP prevails in the fall, its base will demand Republicans ban it all: contraception, IVF, mifepristone and all other forms of abortion.

    So be forewarned: If MAGA extremists return power, they and their radical handmaidens on the Supreme Court will not hesitate to create Clarence Thomas’s America. It won’t be a place that the vast majority of Americans find congenial — or even recognizable.

Why is she so racist?

They can't be racist and only a white person, aka racist, would say otherwise.

As the left is running with "The Biden videos are all republican deep fakes", they are also doing this:

Further down in the comments is a reminder of just how nauseatingly in the vaccine camp Colbert was/is [barf]

Now it could be said that was maybe possibly satire but I don't think so.

Wow, will Snopes now be labeled an extreme far right wing site?

Quote
The left-leaning fact-checking website Snopes acknowledged Saturday that former President Trump never called neo-Nazis "very fine people" during his press conference following the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally in 2017.

Quote
The Snopes fact check now aligns with years of arguments from Trump's camp, who long stated, backed by transcript and video, that his comments were taken out of context. The fact-checker notes that the false claim about Trump's comments "spread like wildfire" on the left, eventually being cited as a cornerstone of Biden's election campaign.

CNN's Kasie Hunt  shuts down Trump's campaign spokesperson for criticizing Jake Tapper:

 ;)

Trump wins the debate just for showing up with the entire thing rigged against him. Somehow these people don't realize/care that there is video of Tapper literally calling Trump a nazi.

With tinfoil in place, I wouldn't bet against a "critical event" Thursday morning that requires the President and cancels the debate.

Why is the President of the United States wearing a Ukrainian flag lapel pin? I know the morons in Congress like to do it, but this should absolutely not be on the President. I don't care that it's crossed with the US lapel pin.

Also note the colors of his necktie.  That's not a coincidence.
