This article was shared by someone on FB, I think you should be able to read it for free:
Donald Trump's Shocking Box Score: 602 Lies in Just 40 Minutes, An Unprecedented Tsunami of Deceit That Is Disqualifying
First, he gives a reality check about WHO is REALLY calling for Biden to step aside, in the polls claiming that's happening.
But well get to that shockingand wholly unprecedentedrevelation in a moment.
We begin, instead, with major breaking news thats being reported exclusively here at Proof: a new poll by a U.S. pollster with an A+ rating for accuracy from ABC News reveals that Trump voters whove told pollsters theyre Democrats are leading the charge for President Biden to end his campaignwith Democrats uninterested in the idea.
... (bunch of graphs and statistics here that I can't post due to 4-para limit and/or not knowing how) ...
Skip down to the section The Worst Debate Performance in American History for the really useful stuff, which (when you get to the "Monologues" part), links to the debunking of pretty much every word that Trump said, that wasn't a preposition or conjunction. ( EDIT TO ADD: By "Worst performance" he was NOT referring to Biden. In case it isn't obvious from the rest of this post.)
THEN, he takes on the major media outlets for failing to communicate the magnitude of Trump's lies, or that it happened at all. He even takes on CNN for only calling out 30. (ONLY 30.) (To be fair to CNN, Abramson counted every time Trump stated a lie; CNN did not count duplicates. But still, I think Abramson mentioned quite a few that CNN missed entirely; not to mention that CNN stretched quite a bit for a modicum of false equivalency, for example when they said that Biden had "baselessly" claimed that Trump would destroy Social Security - such a claim is not baseless at all - a quick Google will clear that up.)
I regret that I can share but 4 paragraphs (and I never figured out how that applies when one sentence is set apart as a "paragraph" ). This article is quite long, but worth the read, or at least the skim and a bookmark, if you are short on time at the moment.

(22,720 posts)Biden should call him out by saying that is Bull Shit, felon. If, there is a second lie then Biden should call him out by say that is Bull Shit and fucking lie, convicted felon. Don't think that moderator will let there be a third lie, but if there is, continue calling the convicted felon out in just those terms.
