Joe Biden’s debate disaster sparks Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow MELTDOWNS
Conservatives may acknowledge the stark differences between men and women, but liberals are doing the best job of demonstrating it — especially in the aftermath of President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance on the debate stage.
While liberal men’s responses have been mostly based on logic, their female counterparts have responded illogically and emotionally.
Rachel Maddow’s most recent meltdown is a prime example.
“I really did not expect that they would do this, and they, you know, Donald Trump and his council asked for this 100% absolute immunity thing which was insane, I would say they got 105% of what they were asking for. They got immunity from this court,” Maddow said, before going entirely off the rails on “hypotheticals.”
“Can the president assassinate a rival? I think we have to look at the Supreme Court’s affirmative to that, yes, you can,” she remarked. “I mean, this is a death squad ruling.”
“This is a president who has activated pro-Trump military groups, that you know, wear insignia and T-shirts and hold placards celebrating literally right-wing death squads. This is a president who has talked about absolutely using the Department of Justice to go after his rivals. This explicitly immunizes anything the president wants to do through the justice department.”
Jason Whitlock is well aware that what Maddow just asserted is ridiculous.
“Women bow to logic and reason just the same way as men,” Whitlock mocks. “No, they don’t.”
“Nor should they,” he continues. “It’s not what they were built for. They get pregnant and carry another human being in their womb for 9 months at a time. Once a month, they have a menstrual cycle that really messes with their hormones and emotions and we think, ‘Oh yeah, let’s put them on equal political footing with men, let’s install them on every TV show and every talk show in America. Let’s completely feminize the situation.”
Maddow isn’t alone in her delusion, as Joy Reid has also responded with a clear lack of logic to the events of the past couple of weeks.
“Donald John Trump cannot be allowed back into the White House,” Reid said in a selfie video posted to social media. “If you combine that mad man with this court, two of whose members are insurrectionists, one of whom flew an upside down flag at his home and blamed it on his wife, who’s also crazy.”
“The other of whom’s wife literally was part of the insurrection,” she continued. “They ruled on this with no shame.”
“They are kings and Trump is king. You put him in the White House, combined with this court and a Republican House and Senate, we’re done, y’all. All the rights that were won in the 20th century, the hard-earned rights of women, laborers, workers, the rights of children,” she said but didn’t stop there.
“They are trying to repeal the entire 20th century,” she continued, “If you don’t think they’re coming for all these rights, then you are delusional.”
“This is a nut job,” Whitlock responds, shocked.

Joe Biden says if Trump still has coronavirus by second debate, it should be canceled
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said on Tuesday that if President Donald Trump was still testing positive for coronavirus at the time of their scheduled second debate, it should be canceled.
The former vice president made the comments to reporters in Hagerstown, Maryland, as he boarded his plane to fly to Maryland.
"I think if he still has COVID, then we shouldn't have a debate," he said, referring to the president.
President Trump stunned the political world when he tweeted early morning Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for coronavirus. He has since gone to Walter Reed Medical Center for treatment and returned to the White House.
"I think we were gonna have to follow very strict guidelines," explained Biden.
"Too many people have been infected," he continued. "It's a very serious problem, so I will be guided by the guidelines of the Cleveland Clinic and what the docs say is the right thing to do. If and when he shows up for debate."
Previously on Monday Biden said that he would debate the president if the experts said it could be done safely.

"Look, if the doctors, listen to the scientists, if the scientists say that... it's safe, that the distances are safe, then I think that's fine," said Biden. "I'll do whatever the experts say is the the appropriate thing to do."
The second debate is scheduled for October 15, while a third has been scheduled for a week later on October 22.
A debate between Vice President Mike Pence and the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), is also scheduled for Wednesday, October 7th.
A CNN poll showed Biden with a commanding lead after the first debate, but the Trump campaign downplayed the results, and blamed flawed methodology for the reported gap in support.
"They don't have the best, most stellar reputation for being real news," said Trump 2020 campaign press secretary Hogan Gidley of the CNN poll.

Horowitz: Did Joe Biden disavow lockdowns during the debate?
During the lead-up to the debate, I kept hearing pundits suggest that coronavirus was Joe Biden's strongest issue. However, after listening to the debate, Americans are likely asking more questions about Biden's true position on the lockdowns — the issue of our time.
Does Joe Biden support lockdowns or not? Even before moderator Chris Wallace got to the segment on the virus, Biden accused Trump of being responsible for virus deaths and not having a "plan" to deal with the virus. Then, when he got to explaining his plan, we all expected him to say that Trump pushed a reopening too soon. In fact, Biden accused Trump of shutting down the economy!
"We didn't shut down the economy. This is his economy he shut down," accused Biden during the segment on coronavirus. "The reason it's shut down is because, look, you folks at home. How many of you got up this morning and had an empty chair at the kitchen table because someone died of COVID? How many of you are in a situation where you lost your mom or dad and you couldn't even speak to them, you had a nurse holding a phone up so you could in fact say goodbye?"
Trump responded by asserting, wrongly in my view, that millions more would have died if not for the shutdown.
Biden explained that already in March he had a plan. But again, what is that plan?
We should be providing all the protective gear possible. We should be providing the money the House has passed in order to be able to go out and get people the help they need to keep their businesses open. Open schools cost a lot of money. You should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap in your golf course and go in the Oval Office and bring together the Democrats and Republicans and fund what needs to be done now to save lives.
Huh? So now Biden is championing the opening of businesses and schools? Biden appears to be locked up in his basement, so he might not be aware of what is going on around him, but there are so many masks in this country that you find them on the sidewalks. Nobody has been lacking PPE for the past few months. The reason businesses and schools are closed in many parts of the country is because his party (as well as liberal Republicans) closed them, not because they lack the money to purchase cheap Chinese masks, which don't help.
Remember, it was Biden who said last night, "The party is me. Right now, I am the Democratic Party." Thus, the shutdowns are clearly him, and he has clearly expressed support for them in the past. However, throughout the night, he never defended a shutdown of businesses and schools, the crown jewel of Democrat economic policy at present.
Going forward, he warned about hundreds of thousands more deaths. Again, what's his solution?
"His own CDC director says we could lose as many as another 200,000 people between now and the end of the year. And he said, if we just wear a mask, we can save half those numbers. Just a mask."
Here's the problem: Almost every school and business that is open, except for rural areas, has a universal mask mandate and has had one in place for months. Why is it not working?
This is really one of Biden's greatest vulnerabilities. Trump began to discuss the calamity of the continued shutdowns, but he needs to press his advantage on this further without the distractions of some of his other theatrics. It's part of a broader problem that Biden has on policy. He had to retreat from or dodge any question about lockdowns, packing the courts, defunding the police, the rioters, or the Green New Deal.
In future debates, rather than trying to talk over Biden, Trump should remain silent and force Biden to answer these questions with stony silence. Then he should use his time to define Biden and provide a bold contrast.
One of the later topics in the debate was supposed to be racial inequality and race relations. That would have been a perfect time to show how Biden has supported the shutdown of businesses and schools, which has caused greater inequality than any policy in recent memory.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the number of black-owned businesses plummeted 41% from 1.1 million in February 2020 to 640,000 in April thanks to the lockdowns. White-owned businesses decreased 17% and Hispanic-owned slid 32%.
As far as schools, the achievement gap caused by the shutdown is obvious. It's parents who are already wealthy who can make other arrangements and form pods for group learning. Those who are less educated and have less means are totally reliant upon the traditional school system, which remains shut in most Democrat cities.
The simple reality is that Biden cannot keep his "I'm a man of Scranton" canard without disavowing lockdowns. It's time for Trump to press that advantage. After all, Biden publicly owned the Democratic Party and all its baggage.
