You clearly haven't seen british parliament.

Fixed it for you:

It was Trump doing all the yelling, don't pretend they were both bad.

Raise your hand if you think Trump might try to take a page out of Putin's book.....

That's not exactly true. British debates use to be pretty hard too.
IMayNotKnowWhatIAmTalkingAbout
Master debates @op!

Not quite accurate. Putin is part of the American Debate.

Russia has options. The guy is just recovering from a mysterious illness in Berlin.

There was also a debate Boris was invited to, but didn't attend, so they put a block of ice in his place.
notacobra
Australian debates: like Russian debates but only because the Murdoch owned media ignores the non-shit side.
HeywouldJablowme
This implies that Biden was screaming as much as Trump. No. Biden said what we all wanted to say. Shut the fuck up!

Lord knows there's things I don't like about the UK government. But PMQs is a brilliant institution. Long may it continue.

The fact that they have a mace sitting on the table in Parliament, but no one ever gets hit with it in heated debates disappoints me deeply.
FuzzyX
Let us recall that the lines on the floor came about when an MP once brought a sword indicating a weapons free zone.
NoNameFred
Having a mace sitting on the table might be *why* they keep themselves under control enough that no one ever needs to be hit with it...
NoNameFred
Just imagine that first debate if the moderator was armed with a baseball bat, and hit a candidate for excessive bad behaviour...
waylandertheslayer
Michael Heseltine, in the 70s or 80s, tried to and was restrained by his colleagues. The context was that the Labour party had won a 1
waylandertheslayer
narrow vote on (iirc) nationalising a shipyard/keeping it nationalised and started singing the Labour Party anthem, *The People's Flag* 2
waylandertheslayer
which so enraged him that he went for the mace and his own party had to hold him back. Can't remember where I heard the story tho. 3/3
dehny87
Ron Brown MP for Leith in the 80s got punched in the balls by one of his own party for removing the mace and dropping it on the ground
Rulweylan
To be fair, if nothing else that's justified for potentially damaging a historic artefact.
dehny87
Caused £1500 worth, at the time, of damage apparently
Lemmingofdarkestnight
There's the other half of the Russian debate which is somebody being served tea.
Twinklepot
Comet260
Is the tea safe?
Lemmingofdarkestnight
We will call it Schrodinger's Tea. Until you drink it you don't know if you are alive or dead.
Lemmingofdarkestnight
Also involves poison and a quantum event.

Well, it's hot.

Yeah, but I'll survive drinking it, yes?

ITS HOT AND ITS READY.

Ok, ok. Geez. You don't have to yell.

It's so weird watching the difference between the Holyrood parliamentary debates and the Westminster parliamentary debates.
johnnyw80
Its as if Holyrood actually debates stuff instead of everyone just shouting
HaniiPuppy
It doesn't though, that's the thing. There are set out procedures so it's not just two sides of the chamber sounding like monkeys an ...
HaniiPuppy
... inch away from throwing crap at eachother, and the kind of behaviour that's normal in Westminster would get you thrown out in Holyrood.
khazorath
It's a lot tamer outside of PMQs. The exceptional rowdiness during that hour is pretty much for TV/Social media clips.
Crowbarmaster
Irish Parliament is fantastic to watch!
soulteepee
You seem to imply Biden was as loud and rude as Trump during the debate. He was not.
Gudhansson
Yelling and bullying is for when you lack substance
potshot
Trump was in the mud flinging it all around, and his supporters are like "Well look at Biden, he got mud on himself too!" You can't have (1)
potshot
an intelligent debate if the other side refuses to participate.(2)
TakeItEasyPolicy
Agree. Biden could hardly utter a coherent statement
ThatShiftyMonkey
Biden spoke very well, whenever no one yelling in his ear. He only flubbed a couple words in 90 minutes, again only when being overtalked.
factcheckmate
And thats a lot for someone who used to stutter. As someone like him, mild stutter comes back in a stress
ThatShiftyMonkey
Knowing how stutters work, and the strategies to keep them under control, he did phenomenally in that regard.
Youhavinagiraffe
Trump started that debate at an 11 on the rowdy obnoxious scale and pushed through to about a 13 when he started attacking Biden's kids
sonofcyrus138
BuT bOtH sIdEs!
KilliK69
all the meme about the debate show that Biden was as bad as Trump, which was not the case. I wonder why..
Simonboo
From the UK it appears that America is drifting towards electing the lesser of 2 evils.
nightof11bangbangs
For the sake of all things holy, knock on wood or something. Please dont jinx us
KroniK907
I mean Biden isn't perfect but he is a pretty good moderate candidate. He's socially left of US center and economically right of center.
KroniK907
His running mate was a brilliant choice politically. Black female prosecutor is promoting equality while providing a target to show ->
KroniK907
Trumps racism and sexism. I think Biden is a smart dude and has the ability to stabilize the nation, if we also have a Dem controlled senate
shadefang
The most important part (from my perspective) is that I think he'll actually listen to people, and step down if he has to.
Digimontana
No, he merely didn't manage to make a better impression than Trump even while wearing a wire and the moderator biased in his favour.
PunchyFromCleveland
The Fox News moderator was biased towards Biden? I don’t think so, even as a Democrat. He allowed Trump to interrupt and bluster too much.

HeywouldJablowme
Jesus Christ, what's it like on Uranus?
HellYeti
As a non-American, that's not actually true. Questions weren't biased in favour of Biden, but in favour of the American people's wellbeing.
weaponhowlet
Where was this wire? Trump was standing right there wouldn't he have seen an earpiece? Did you draw in on your TV with a sharpie?
hogeyegrex
There’s a pic of a crease in Biden’s shirt and the rosary on his wrist making the rounds of the wingnut sites as if it showed a “wire.” 1/2
hogeyegrex
Never mind that neither item could possibly have been feeding him lines even if they were some sort of device.
EveryNameIsTakenDammit
Wow...you're an idiot.
Twrecks123
*sigh* dear, you need to stick your fingers down your throat and upchuck that Trump Kool-aid you’ve been drinking.
TrueNorthernLights
LOL! You're hilarious!
MDAlchemist
Biden came off as a frustrated old man with as stutter, Trump came off as a demon-possessed howler monkey. How are they even comparable?
ElbowDeepInAHoofbun
I seriously am curious. What does it take to open your eyes? Where is the line? When is Trump's evil too much?
ambiencenever
There's folks whose spouse has been kidnapped by ICE saying they'll vote for Trump again.
moltencorgi
Found one
pwilk44
A village idiot?

Yes
smallfrie32
A fox new moderator who let Trump go uninterrupted is an advantage for Biden?
Digimontana
The moderator who debated him more than his supposed vis-a-vis?
indyliberal
You are why this country will fall. Idiot.
shitheadtookmyname
The mod was just asking him to shut the fuck up for once in his life
Skywatcher16
being told to abide by the rules of the debate is being debated now?
Digimontana
Taking over for his opponent is. Remember that that call to denounce white supremacists you all like so much didn't come from Biden,
AzraelDirge
He didn't issue a call to action for white supremacists, so there's that.
Digimontana
For all the good it did to him. Trump can afford it, and you all will swallow it.
HeywouldJablowme
Just like the proud boys like to swallow it. Eat a dick.
moltencorgi
Lul are you implying you support his inaction against white supremacists
OctalImpulse
Looks like you’ve swallowed one too many and it went straight to your head
AzraelDirge
Try that again, with grammar this time.
Digimontana
Reply to essence, not to form.

I keep seeing that narrative being pushed by basically Republicans who are on the fence with Trump. Cause child rape and racism isn't enough
DevilsAdvocater
Please show hard facts proving trump raped someone. Not just someone saying he did.
sagejosh0
I thought you meant the fact he would go in and “inspect” teen pageant girls while they were undressing. Didn’t know there was a lawsuit.

Mostly the zealots

Trump could literally be caught balls deep in a child and my family would still say they are in the fence about Trump. Meaning they won't

I fucking shit you not my mom said "he's a busy man. Gotta relieve the stress somehow" after i showed her the rape allegations

My dad went with "they're just allegations, they don't actually mean anything".

He's right though, have we forgotten about innocent until proven guilty?

Admit that child rape isn't a deal breaker

I asked my family cult members 3 years ago, what a deal breaker would look like. They refused to answer.
