The First 2020 Presidential Debate

 

 

At 9pm. the first Presidential debate occured at Cleveland between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. This debate dealt with the issues of taxes, the coronavirus, racial issues, policing, foreign policy, health care, the Supreme Court, and other important issues. This time saw unprecedented events as 2020 is one of the most important years in human history from record protests, record wildfires, and a call for justice. We have seen how both men have acted, and it is a time where a new era is upon us.What I see in the beginning of the debate is Trump interrupting Biden, and Trump lying. As others have mentioned, this debate in late September 2020 is the worst American Presidential debate in American history. Chris Wallace narrated the debate. Throughout the whole ordeal, the debate dealt with constant interruptions by Donald Trump. This debate is beyond bizarre as Trump is the most bizarre President in American history. Trump wanted to evade real issues and deflect. Biden said that Trump wants to use the Supreme Court to eliminate Obamacare. Millions of people would lose preexisting conditions if Obamacare is gone. Biden desires to establish a public option while not agreeing with a single payer universal health scare system. Biden also said that 200,000 people died under Trump's watch in dealing with the coronavirus. Biden said to Trump shut up. Biden also called Trump a clown. Joe Biden said that this debate is about the American people. Trump accused Biden of being involved in Ukrainian scandal and Biden denies it. Wallace begged both people to stop interrupting each other. Obviously, Trump interrupted more. Biden exposed Trump's racism in the debate too. Trump talked about the economy, but job growth in his first 3 years was slower than in Obama's 2nd term. Millions of jobs have been lost in this year alone. Biden said to Trump release your tax returns. Trump used the old canard that Biden is controlled by the "radical left," but Joe Biden obviously is a neoliberal centrist. Trump has a hatred of progressive people, but Trump is an admirer of the war criminal Andrew Jackson. 

Trump obsesses with law and order, but his policies make a mockery of the law. Trump has disregarded subpoenas, hated peaceful NFL protesters, and believes in historical revisionism as it relates to American history (which is why he hates cultural sensitivity training or any school showing how people like Jefferson were hypocritical racist slave owners). Trump coddles far right militias and vigilantes, but he demonizes Black Lives Matter. Trump insulted (by disrespecting Biden's sons), interrupted, and acted very unprofessional in the debate. Trump lied and said that Biden wanted people to burn down towns. Biden is clear to mention that he is against violence in communities. Trump hates for people to expose systematic racism. The crime rate went down 17  percent during the Obama administration. The debate dealt with protests and various rebellions in America. Both of them debated on Antifa. Antifa is a lot of things, but it is not equivalent to Nazis or white racists at all. Trump bragged about sending far right judges to the courts of America. The deal is that McConnell blocked tons of Obama's nominees and changed the rules. Trump continues to interrupt. Biden and Trump debated on climate change. Trump has reduced legitimate environmental regulations, even in harming methane regulations. Trump has made 68 environmental rollbacks. Trump is using hyperbole of taking out cows and eliminating airplanes which isn't the case. Biden wanted to go back into the Paris Agreement, which was an international agreement that fought climate change. Trump questioned the ballot system and made the lie that there is an epidemic of ballot fraud. Biden wants people to vote. Trump falsely accused Democrats of being in a conspiracy to make a voting fraud conspiracy. Voting is a human right. Trump said the racist remark that "bad things" happen in Philadelphia. Trump wants to attack the USPS too. So Trump has a paranoia  about voting, because he is afraid of losing the 2020 election. His fear of democracy is the essence of his abhorrent authoritarianism. For Trump to minimize the sexist, violent group of the Proud Boys is just not surprising. Trump encouraged his supporters to watch the polls which is similar to the Jim Crow racists trying to intimidate black voters. Like usual, many FOX News hosts have praised Donald Trump as FOX News is Trump TV. Trump was asked to condemn white supremacists, but Trump refused to condemn white supremacists explicitly in bold terms. Trump didn't even criticize the Proud Boys and like minded extremist groups. The debate was the most bizarre debate in American history. Trump has signaled that he won't commit to supporting the election results. There were shouting, interruptions, and the situation of personal attacks. It was a debate that is representative of the polarization of America. Not to mention that the debate outlined the non-infallibility with American capitalism with housing issues, poverty, and other forms of oppression. Who won the debate? The winner is Biden by default. Wallace was completely intimidated by Trump, and Trump abused the rules of the debate constantly. Trump also disrespected Biden's son who passed away. Trump abused the process and sought to abuse Biden. Trump telling the Proud Boys and others of that ilk to "stand by" is truly wrong. The Proud Boys is a terrorist organization point blank period. Even the FBI admitted that the greatest terrorist threat domestically in America is the white supremacists. Biden stood his ground. It's an embarrassing display of narcissism by Trump. This election is more than about 2 choices. This election is about democracy vs. fascism. It is puzzling for people to be undecided at this point. Donald Trump has shown us who he is. Trump is a xenophobic, sexist, and racist extremist who must be voted out office in 2020. He will be out of office sooner or later. This is the most important election of American history. Therefore, VOTE. 

 

The Atlantic reported that Trump secretly mocks his Christian supporters. It's sad but true. The report says that he treats them with contempt and cynicism. This is not shocking, because Trump used a Bible as a prop after he allowed D.C. police authorities to assault peaceful protesters months ago. He joked about assaulting women in vulgar ways. Trump told Frank Luntz that he doesn't ask God for forgiveness, and he mocked communion as "little wine" and "little cracker." On June 25, 2020, Trump said that he is a "perfect person." Jesus Christ cared for the least of these. Trump allowed a policy to rip children from their mothers and place these children in dilapidated cages. Trump believes in waterboarding.

It is always important to disagree with people who are wrong. Recently, the coward Hassan Campbell disrespected Breonna Taylor. Hassan is the Youtube personality who is known for calling his own wife a "crackhead" and arguing with people at a restaurant. If this male has no respect for his own wife, he has no respect for anyone else.  Hassan is known for disrespecting black people and believing in a lot on nonsense. I'm not going to repeat what he said, because it's very offensive. Breonna Taylor was a hero who lived a life of helping fellow human beings medically. I don't agree with Charles Barkley and Shaquelle O'Neal in saying that Breonna Taylor's death is different than George Floyd's death. The truth is that these deaths are very similar. Breonna Taylor was murdered unjustly just like George Floyd. Breonna Taylor has the right to live on this Earth just like George Floyd. Breonna Taylor and George Floyd are black human beings who deserved to see old age. Breonna's boyfriend had a legal right to carry a firearm. Another Youtube sexist is Jaye de Black who made disrespectful comments about black women for years (as he disrespected Megan Thee Stallion when she was unjustly shot by a cowardly person. Jaye's whole channel is about hating women in promoting his misogynist, red pill agenda, which is very disturbing and sick). Jesse Lee Peterson betrayed the black community so bad that he is worst than Larry Elder. Peterson said thank God for slavery, South Africa was better under apartheid, allowing women to vote was bad, and other sick words. He is wrong and a disgrace.The lesson here is that we have to call out these fake people. That is the truth.

Tons of people are talking about the New York Times story. The story from the NY Times said that Trump core enterprises' report losing millions of dollars. It said that Trump paid no income taxes in 10 out of 15 years beginning in the year of 2000. In both the year 2016 and 2017, the New York Times said that Trump only paid $750 in federal income taxes. The report said that he made financial losses and years of tax avoidance. Of course, Trump denied the allegation and said that he pays a lot in federal income taxes. Trump is known as a habitual liar, so Trump has massive financial issues. This is why many people believe that he is compromised politically. The NY Times said that Trump owes more than $300 million in loans in the next 4 years.   Trump is also under audit by the IRS. There is a new military conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region. People are using drones, tanks, and artillery fire. Soldiers and civilians have been killed. Both sides accuse each other of starting the conflict. Yerevan and Baku posted pictures of the war. This is the most intensive conflict of the region since the 1988-1994 conflict. If not controlled, the conflict could involve Russia, Turkey, and other NATO forces. Turkey is a NATO state and an ally of Azerbaijan. They have joint military exercises together. Russia has backed Armenia. NATO wars have existed in Libya and Syria.
