Nov 2023 Mod notice:


There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.

If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Go Biden! He’s on a rampage!

Biden is extremely strong on the emails and Russian money.

Trump's claiming he prepaid his tax and carries on banging on about Biden's emails. And he's pushing the audit claim again and complaining about how the IRS were treated.

Where is Trump getting this 3,500,000 dollars from? Is he just making that up on the spot, or is it from some conspiracy?

I suspect it’s one of the numbers Rudi made up.

Trump bringing up his impeachment again. Chuckled inside at Biden's "oh, fuck me, this shit again?" face.

Trump's back to the fake investigation and back to claiming Obama spied on him. Back to the 'no collusion' thing. It's Biden who's making money! After all, Biden has houses all over the place. He lives very well!

In other news, Borat has issued a "defense" of Giuliani's "innocent sexy-time encounter between a consenting man and my 15-year-old daughter" and warned that if people continue to attack Rudy he "will not hesitate to reach into his legal briefs and whip out his subpenis".

After attacking Biden for doing business with Russia and China... Trump says he has accounts everywhere because of business. But it's okay because he closed his accounts before running for president.

He's attacking Biden's brother even more than his son.

Biden: he will make China follow international rules.

Biden just referred to the Chinese and Russian leaders as 'thugs' (along with the North Korean leader).

Trump is pissed. Back to attacking Biden. Finally, the host interrupted it.

Money paid to an investment firm that a Republican report claims Hunter Biden is a co-founder of without evidence or agreement.

So anyone else noting Biden’s facial expressions? He seems to be showing a lot more horror this time compared to the last debate, in the last debate his facial expressions were more towards contempt than horror.

Biden just compered King Jong-un to Hitler.

Trump also keeps interrupting the moderator.
