| Biden's debate stumble: He raises issue of corruption allegations himself |
| 2020-10-23 |
| [WND] Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, during Thursday's debate with President Donald Trump, hesitated about it, but then said he was going to go ahead. And he did. He himself raised the issue that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was being used as an "agent" of Russia to spread disinformation. That, of course, was the opening for which the president was waiting, to ask Biden about the millions of dollars his family was getting from Russia, from China, and more. And what about the money that was being held for the "big guy," identified as Joe Biden? The issue has erupted into what some analysts have described as the biggest scandal ever in American politics, as emails and other documentation that have become available — from insiders, from an abandoned computer, and more — have described how the Biden family was making multiple deals with foreign interests that would benefit the family with millions of dollars. TRENDING: Topless teen-girl photos on 'Biden' laptop? Delaware police reportedly investigating "I think you owe an explanation to the American people," the president charged. "Maybe you can do it now." Biden then claimed, "I have not taken a penny from any foreign source in my life. I have not taken a single penny from any country whatsoever ever." Trump described the Biden family as a "vacuum cleaner," sucking up money from everyone. Biden also denied there was anything wrong with his son, Hunter, getting paid tens of thousands of dollars a month from Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, an industry in which Hunter had no experience. |

| #6 In a bit of irony and judo, the format and execution of worked well for Trump IMHO. Let Biden take the shot, then rebound like Dennis Rodman. |

| #5 Biden started getting punchy when it became obvious he was losing the debate. I suspect he'd planned for over the top rude Trump and instead got a very Presidential Trump. |

| #4 Interesting test the Falun Gong is doing with Google Translate. If you translate "Biden lost the debate" into traditional Chinese script (the one used in Taiwan) it comes out correctly. If you translate it into Simplified Script, the characters used in the Mainland, it comes out "Biden won the debate." |

| #2 Agree; Biden was punchy for the third and definitely fourth quarters. Biden's best quarter was probably the second, but even Chris Berman gets irritating after a couple Come'on Man! shticks. The eyes. I know there was a thing about bionic contacts with script. What it reminded me of was wearing polarized sunglasses and looking at a computer monitor. I wonder if he had on special contacts to help see/tone down bright lights and the polarization hit at angles to a camera's polarization pattern. I don't know enough about corrective lenses or studio camera systems for that to be anything other than a guess. |

| #1 When the debate began Plugs had no difficulty talking, but about halfway through he began having problems with finding his words and speaking coherently. Whatever drug(s) he was given to control the dementia were obviously wearing thin and his attention level was slipping. When he was caught and became entangled by the issues, his sheepish grin gave him away. Plug's body language had once again betrayed him. He failed to complete his thoughts a few times. The other tip off was the wide open eyes and rapid blinking. He he was likely on some type of drug. Having eyes that wide open for that length of time is not natural. His pupils could not be seen and may have been dilated. |
