Official Drinking Game Rules for the Presidential Debate tonight:
1) Drink every time
Trump & Biden said hi to eachother.
The presidential debate using auto-muting is basically just copying off my Twitter style TBQH
Joe Biden said that anyone responsible for more than 200,000 deaths should not be president of the United States, and I agree that the novel coronavirus should not be the Commander in Chief.
Joe Biden says we are going into a Dark Winter.
Joe Biden criticizing Trump for not shutting down travel from China sooner is an interesting take.
Both Trump & Biden are being vastly more polite with eachother than last time — basically no interruptions so far, and very interesting back & forth that the moderator is basically letting happen.
“Who built the cages, Joe?”

A federal law enforcement official tells @DCExaminer that the Justice Department & FBI agree with DNI Ratcliffe that the Hunter Biden laptop / emails in question are not part of a Russian disinformation operation, and further says that the FBI is in possession of Hunter's laptop.
Federal law enforcement official says FBI & DOJ agree with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that the Hunter Biden laptop emails are not part of a Kremlin disinformation campaign.
Senior intelligence official: “The intelligence community & Justice Department are in lock-step on this: there is absolutely zero evidence or intel that the laptop or the info contained therein is a Russian op....” washingtonexaminer.com/news/fbi-and-d…
Trump says "I denounce white supremacy." Guthrie says QAnon is "this theory that Democrats are a Satanic pedophile ring" & that Trump is "the savior of that." Trump says "I know nothing about QAnon" & "I do know they are very much against pedophilia" & "they fight it very hard."
Trump defends retweeting an insane & false conspiracy theory about the Osama bin Laden raid. Trump says "that was a retweet" and "I'll put it out there and people can decide for themselves" and "I don't take a position."
Trump appealed directly to Nancy Pelosi to work out a coronavirus relief deal.
Biden says if he was president he would've pushed for U.S. scientists to be allowed into China to investigate the source of the coronavirus in China & claimed Trump Admin didn't push for this. False. The U.S. pushed to be allowed to investigate on the ground & China blocked us.
Biden again admits that (despite what he's sometimes said) a national mask mandate cannot be done. Biden says he'd get all 50 governors in a room & ask them to mandate masks in states, & if governors say no he will go to mayors & councilmen to ask them to institute mask mandates.
Biden is using notes to answer a question on taxes.
