Gonna be interesting to see whose amphetamines wear off first
This really is a battle of who has the better pharmacist. Also, I fear that if I watch this debate the collective insanity of the two of them will sonically liquidate my brain

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

MODERATORS
I really want a break down on the strategy of giving them enough drugs to keep them sharp but not too many that they crash by the end of 2 hours.
Maybe a secondary analysis of risk vs reward of trying to get some mild uppers in their water bottle.
I want a sports-style play by play with a panel of pharmacologists and drug users deciphering their every move.
"Look at his pinky fingers twitching at different times, that's a telltale sign they've got him on at least 5mg of oxymethlnabacalcifermin. That's a risky move given it's short-lived high but it might get him through the worst of this"
look look the second capsule is dissolving, you can see the pupils start to dilate and the perspiration increases
when you're right you right, dave. look at him go about immigration. If second dose doesn't hit for genocide joe, he is in big trouble. I heard they've tried harder gelatine due to higher acidity in his stomach
lets see if it pays off for them
Hasan and the Chapo boys are missing an opportunity by not doing this
hope they fuck up their dosage, i want corn pop and hannibal lecter battle, not some boring 10 percent this 25 percent that
I just want to see Biden draw a clock
I want them so zooted that the outcome of the debate is an Odd Couple-style small plates restaurant.
Dear God, you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
I hope Biden's eye explodes again right off the bat, and things escalate from there
Honestly, gas leak, just send the entire hall up in flames
that's a clean burning debate I'll tell you hwat
like that scene in inglorious basterds
How dare you make fun of Biden's public-event eye-bleeding. It's just a stutter. Why do you love Trump?
They're really both gonna be in the same place at the same time?
Anderson Cooper has the potential to do the funniest thing ever
anyone in that room has the chance to become the greatest hero of our time
"Well then... I did not have that on my bingo card hehe"
Entire lib family looks at me with anger and disappointment
Last person to directly address somebody that isn't there wins.
Joe Biden threw down the gauntlet on Wednesday, directly challenging former President Donald Trump
en garde
to not one, but two debates
what do we gotta do for these geriatric oligarchs to fucking hack at each other with blades
tfw no sons debate
Finally some circus to entertain us
That's really all I want out of this. Honestly, my mind has been made up since Obama's second term about voting for these ghouls.
Just entertain me while the place falls apart
Also bread. Could use some more of that food share
I'm a baker. I can't get away from bread anymore
The only way I'd watch is if Biden shoots acid blood out of his eye onto Trump like a xenomorph.
Fresh slop soon 
This is a thrill similar to Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul or Kendrick vs Drake for me
I hope Biden says Jack and I hope Trump calls him a pedophile.
Look Jack, you're trying to strike...strike... it's a B major
Why oh god WHY does it have to be so fucking EARLY??? They usually(if not always?) have general election pres debates in September/october
we can’t get any god damn rest before this horseshit
cant have the cable watchers tuning out of the election cycle. it has to be a big stupid spectacle or people might get ideas about how democratic it really is
Trumps gonna insist they drop the requirement to turn off mics when it's not your turn and then if they don't do that back out saying they were being very unfair to him and the most gullible pathetic people in the world will see that as a sign of strength and his approval will go up 5 points.
That or Trump just brings a bull horn and pulls that out when they turn off his mic.
Biden sir....you don't have to do this but fuck it, it'll be funny to watch if not morbid. Can't wait for one of them to have a heart attack on stage
I hope it's a literal slap fight and nothing else. Maybe some three stooges eye poking
vs
Trump is gonna rip a big fart and then Biden is gonna be visibly upset and Trump will deny the whole thing and be declared the winner
eat up, piggies!
