Thursday is the circus.\u00a0 Everyone is at a fever pitch.\u00a0 The newspapers and the cable news have many articles with advice for Joe Biden on how to deflect the questions away from his record in office and concentrate on fortifying our democracy against Trump.<\/p>\n

Well, of course they are.\u00a0 Would anyone expect Tapper or Bash to say anything that doesn\u2019t begin with \u201cconvicted felon Trump?\u201d\u00a0 Of course not.\u00a0 So, the only truly entertaining way to experience this fun house ride is with a sufficiently large wet bar or a smorgasbord of your favorite snack foods.\u00a0 I hope to convince Camera Girl to make a few pounds of pastrami and swiss cheese into a bunch of hot sandwiches and add a pot of good coffee to wash it down.<\/p>\n

Now I don\u2019t expect any good coming from this Punch and Judy show.\u00a0 CNN\u2019s questions won\u2019t even be questions.\u00a0 They\u2019ll just point at Trump and shriek \u201cracist.\u201d\u00a0 They may ask Biden in soothing terms how he\u2019s managed to stand up to the horror of having to confront the bogeyman but other than that it will be a straight up witch trial.<\/p>\n

One thing I am curious to see.\u00a0 They have said that they will shut off Trump\u2019s mike during Biden\u2019s answers.\u00a0 I wonder if they will shut off Trump\u2019s mike during his own answers if they think he\u2019s ignoring their questions.\u00a0 For instance.\u00a0 Suppose they ask Trump to apologize for January 6th<\/sup> and instead he ignores this and slams Biden on all the problems his administration has; inflation, crime, interest rates, illegal immigration, lack of affordable housing.\u00a0 I wonder if they\u2019ll shut off his mike and claim he wasn\u2019t following the debate questions.\u00a0 I imagine if they do that Trump will show his disapproval by miming that his time is being wasted by pointing to his wrist watch.<\/p>\n

But other than something like that I don\u2019t assume it\u2019ll be at all interesting.\u00a0 Biden will be bellowing and shaking his fists and looking agitated.\u00a0 Trump will look disgusted and disapproving.\u00a0 And the moderators will look smug and bovine.<\/p>\n

I want to watch the whole thing in case something interesting happens.\u00a0 However, ninety minutes of this might be a little too much.\u00a0 But what has me trying for the end is the thought that ninety minutes might push Dementia Joe too far on his meds.\u00a0 Think about it.\u00a0 They may be afraid to give him enough Adderall to keep him buzzed that long.\u00a0 In which case he may lapse into gibberish and tales of Uncle Bosey.\u00a0 Or if they do give him the full dose maybe it\u2019ll just plain finish him off.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the side effects from Adderall overdose:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Restlessness.
\n\u2022 Agitation.
\n\u2022 Tremor.
\n\u2022 Exaggerated reflexes.
\n\u2022 Confusion.
\n\u2022 Panic.
\n\u2022 Aggression.
\n\u2022 Paranoia.
\n\u2022 Hallucinations.<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Elevated body temperature.
\n\u2022 Fast breathing.
\n\u2022 Irregular heartbeat.
\n\u2022 Tachycardia.<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Hypertension<\/strong> or other changes in blood pressure.
\n\u2022 Chest pain.
\n\u2022 Abdominal cramps.
\n\u2022 Nausea and vomiting.
\n\u2022 Diarrhea<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 Convulsions.
\n\u2022 Coma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Half of those symptoms already sound like regular Biden.\u00a0 So, I\u2019m just hanging in there to see if we hit the jackpot.\u00a0 If during the third half-hour Joe lets his angry old man act get out of hand, he may just go into vapor lock and faceplant right there on the podium.<\/p>\n

I mean that would be the ultimate Biden moment.\u00a0 And if he revives let\u2019s see Haitian Shirley Temple try to convince us that going into cardiac arrest is just a deep fake.\u00a0 I\u2019d love to see her try.<\/p>\n
