Still better than Trump.

I think a shit flinging monkey is a step up from drumpf, but unfortunately the electoral system may disagree with us.

the fact that we are here, facing down a possible loss to the worst shit-stain of a proto-human is an irreconcilable indictment of the current democratic party and its owners.

Yeah, that certainly sums up the feeling that I'm having right now.

Democrats are always in a panic.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

ATLANTA — President Joe Biden was supposed to put the nation’s mind at ease over his physical and mental capacity with his debate showing Thursday night.

In one of the most notable moments, Biden ended a rambling statement that lacked focus by saying, “We finally beat Medicare,” before moderators cut him off and transitioned back to Trump.

Nearly an hour into the debate, a Biden aide and others familiar with his situation offered up an explanation for the president’s hoarseness: He has a cold.

Even the Biden campaign acknowledged that the debate would be a critical moment in the election, with officials hoping it could shake up the race to the president’s benefit.

The public concerns are exacerbated by deceptively edited videos, some of which have gone viral, that cut off relevant portions of an event, making it appear as if Biden is wandering or confused.

A Biden aide said that it was “not an ideal start” for the president at the beginning of the debate, but that there was “no mass panic” at the campaign headquarters in Delaware.

The original article contains 675 words, the summary contains 178 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Sorry, but I think we care more about funding a genocide than the pandemic. How does this article not mention that?!?
