Welcome to the First Presidential Debate thread for the worst-written presidential election in recent memory. All posters, including certain hatless losers and hat-wearing Trumpians are welcome, for we are Stronger Together.

This debate is one of the most hyped and watched events of All Time. The thread will move quickly, so it is advisable to :justpost:

WHERE: Hofstra University, NY because the first choice couldn't afford to spend the $$$
WHEN: 9PM - 10:30PM EST
HOW: This isn't your normal network-locked debate! Streaming will be plentiful, along with every single major channel broadcasting their own stream! You literally have no excuse to not watch it! Just loving watch it! gently caress!

this is the one with the live fact-checking

quote this for every page because people will ask


quote:

ON TV: The debate will be carried by all three major broadcast networks — NBC, CBS and ABC. It can also be seen on PBS, CNN and Fox News.

ON YOUR COMPUTER: Most news websites will be carrying a live-stream. We’re partial to nytimes.com.

ON YOUR PHONE: If you decide for some reason not to watch on The New York Times mobile app, you can find the debate on CNNgo and the Fox News app.

ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter will live-stream the Bloomberg Media broadcast, including its pre- and post-debate shows. Facebook Live will carry ABC’s live-stream, and also various news networks’ live broadcasts. YouTube will have live-streams from many organizations, including PBS, The Washington Post and Telemundo.

AT A LOCAL BAR: Yes, along with the hype and pomp comes debate-watching extravaganzas like you might find for the Super Bowl. Watering holes around the country will be showing the debates, but if you’re in a city that has a team in the baseball playoff hunt (like New York, Baltimore, Boston, Houston, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, St. Louis, Los Angeles or San Francisco) or in Atlanta or New Orleans, whose teams face off in Monday Night Football (much to the chagrin of Mr. Trump), getting the volume turned up on the debate might be difficult.
WHO:
Lester Holt, NBC Nightly News RIP brian williams

TODAY'S CONTESTANTS ARE:

DONALD TRUMP (16/0/0)
A newcomer to the political stage, possible child rapist Donald Trump has steamrolled his competition faster than he steamrolled homes in Atlantic City to build his luxurious casinos. With a near-superhuman ability to dodge questions and bend reality, he certainly presents more than enough challenge for his rivals. Bent knees, obnoxious hats, and lovely posters follow wherever he goes. Will he be able to word salad around his opponent, or will he be found dead from an apparent suicide?



HILLARY CLINTON (???/1/0)
There has been no Drudge article, no shitpost, and no heavily sexist tweet in the last twenty years that hasn't been aimed at actual murderer Hillary Clinton. The wife of Donald Trump's best friend, Hillary Clinton has dominated the political scene for the last 10+ years by deftly eliminating all threats to her ascendancy. Will she be able to covertly poison Trump during the debate? Or will she be another victim to the unstoppable Trump Train?

GET hosed UP AND WASTED WITH US

Want an excuse to drink? Are you afraid that Donald will Destroy America / Hillary will usher in a thousand years of Status Quo Darkness? Whatever that may be, drink with us using the Official C-SPAM Drinking Game (Credit to The Ninth Layer for making this up!)

The Ninth Layer posted:

This is the drinking game I'll be playing tomorrow. I will probably be playing with a once per question clause to keep it manageable.


Take 1 drink when either candidate or the moderator says any of the following:
Email(s)
Job(s)
Black Lives Matter
Obama
Foundation (Clinton or Trump)
"Believe me"
Mexico/Mexicans
Bill Clinton

Terror/Terrorists
Lie / Lying / Liar

Take 2 drinks when either candidate or the moderator says any of the following:
Benghazi
Bernie Sanders
The Wall
9/11
Radical Islamic Terrorism
Crooked
Bigly / Big League
Alt-Right

Finish your drink when either candidate or the moderator says any of the following (one time only):
All Lives Matter
Monica Lewinsky
Bitch / oval office / Other gendered insult

BINGO SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED AS OF 8 PM :siren:
Are you highly competitive and want free poo poo, which you will promptly lose when you lose your toxx?:siren:
Generate a Bingo Card and play C-SPAM bingo with us! Complete your card first, and there will be a prize! It will likely disappoint you, just like Jeb!

Praise to the Baloogan to developing the backend poo poo for this contest and to Lastgirl for the idea of bingo and for helping out with the details!!!!

Bingo Directions:
1. Go to the link and type in your username. (scroll down if you don’t see it)
2. A card and a unique URL will be generated in your name. This is your card now! You can’t get a new card so deal with it!
3. Post a link to the card (and a screenshot of the card itself, please!) in a post before the designated debate start time.
4. When you complete the card (with a horizontal, diagonal, or vertical line through the center), post BINGO in the thread and we will sort poo poo out and contact you, somehow. Keep an eye out for a PM, or if you’re not a plat member watch out for a post from us.

Bingo Rules:
1. You must post the link / screenshot before the debate starts, or you are disqualified.
2. You cannot edit the aforementioned post AT ALL. If you edit it, even to fix a typo, you are disqualified and will be punished with a big fat probation! If you want to fix something, post again before time is over.
3. You also cannot edit your BINGO! post. If you do, you will be disqualified as well and also slapped with a big fat probation!
4. You can play the drinking game and bingo at the same time, if you want! But they are separate activities!!
5. If the forums crash, it is your responsibility to keep track of your bingo card. If you complete the card while we are still down, then you need to post bingo as soon as it comes back up.
6. We will slap whomever falsely calls BINGO with a probation as well!!!

I was contributing a lot of card spaces throughout the evening, so I was probably one of the first to generate my own assigned Bingo card. I took a screenshot of the card, but it doesn't have the link because I didn't know I needed it at the time (this thread hadn't gone up yet).

The 12 pack of keystone light tall boys equals 192 ounces. Ounces is shortened to oz. z looks like a tiny 7 with a tail. Added together we get 1927 or the year Fred Trump was arrested at a KKK rally.

Truly the signs are aligning.

Just to be clear: is a "bingo" is a full card (all spaces full) or a single row/column?

(because the odds of "hillary blasts trump with pepper spray" are very slim)
