If I was prepping Joe I would have told hem to take 20 seconds to say this in his opening: "I will not rebut my opponents statements tonight. I will use my rebuttal time to expand on my accomplishments relevant to the question and lay out my plan for the topic going forward. Know that everything that Donald says tonight will be lies. After the debate, fact checkers will verify this, and I choose not to waste time addressing these lies."

@misslovelymess You do need big name recognition this late in the game. If Biden steps aside, 4 names have the heft IMO: Harris, Newsome, Whitmer and Buttigieg.

@misslovelymess Here is the thing: we don't really vote for a person anymore; we vote for an ideology. But big$ donors fancy themselves kingmakers. They envision their largesse as an air of power than they imbue upon their chosen candidate. And they believe they have chips in the game if their guy gets elected. They would not donate if they thought they were giving to an ideology. An ideology can't owe you something; an ideology won't remember.

@corlin CEOs recognize incompetence, and understand the corrosive effects that can accrue over time when policy is made without regard to established, time-tested standards of operation. COOs, and CFOs also deeply understand this. Trump is a chaos agent. In the short term, there may be targeted gains for some companies, but competent leadership should always choose political policy makers that follow predictable, steady paths.

@Victor @LiberalLibrarian Almost certainly, it was just stolen and the granite manifest is just misdirection.

@Maude And he did it with $20k, some hockey pucks and a few rolls of duct tape. His opponent had hundreds of thousands of dollars banked.

@arthurpendragon My last direct question to @Alfred was riff off of a question @MrGoat asked about a month ago. For some reason @Alfred hooked onto that. Weird.

@Alfred WTF. We are talking about Godzilla vs Dracula! Of course Godzilla would win! Keep up!

@YouInMyEye This is about as close as I can get to the expression of my own world view. As a scientist I see "God" in many things. But these are things I understand. I see no appeal to the divine.

@Coctaanatis I would encourage Mr. Musk to watch what they do, and not listen to what they say... (Thanks Rachel!)
