Law and Order

[AConcernedCitizen]

Did the President of the United States conduct himself according to the rules that he had agreed to in the debate?

Did he display respect for orderly discourse through his actions in the debate?

Did either candidate?

When you have to be reminded of the rules you agreed to, then the answer is NO.

Did Joe Biden at any point promise violence if he doesn’t win on election night?

Both sides-ism in the age of Trump has always been stupid but after last night it’s obviously a choice.

It's interesting how we both heard the same thing but understood it completely different.

You don‘t understand it any differently. You simply made a choice.

I was mildly disappointed that Biden took the middle road rather than the high road. I think he would have done better to be extremely fastidious with adherence to the rules of the debate, and careful not to refer to Trump in anything other than the most respectful terms. It would have really highlighted who the adult in the room was.

That said, on every occasion that Biden was in error, he stopped talking immediately, accepted the rebuke from the moderator graciously, and yielded the floor.

The same cannot be said of the President of the United States, which I think speaks volumes for where he actually stands in regards to "Law and Order."

Biden was the first one to interrupt.

Does that excuse the president's behavior?

Yes.

You attack me, I'll respond by attacking you harder.

 

[AConcernedCitizen]

Yes.

So you believe in escalation, rather than Law and Order? Sounds like rioter logic to me.

Who's talking about law and order?

Focus, eh?

You are.

You claimed that if someone disregards the rules, it not only justifies others to disregard the rules as well, but that it also justifies disproportionate retaliatory escalation. That is a position antithetical to law an order. It is the justification of rioters and anarchists.

Your façade is laid bare, and your true colors exposed.

Dude...I'm talking about a debate.

What the **** are YOU talking about?
