Thoughts on the 1st presidential debate?

I have no interest in watching it, but from what I've heard about it on the news, it was an absolute shitshow.

The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper "poggers."

Banana republic style. Unworthy. When they go low, we can go lower. Impertinent. Disgraceful. A people of 320 million must be able to find among them a half decent person. OK maybe it is only 160 million since the other half seemd to like that embarrassing display on telly.

Predictably on brand for both candidates. "The president" fire hosed us with lie after lie, routinely interrupted, balked at softball questions like "do you condemn white supremacists?" And Biden was forced to respond to ridiculous notions like "will you enact the green new deal as president".

More entertaining than most, I take it, with the heatedness? I still have no plans to see it.
