I'm old like Biden and I wouldn't dare take it AT ALL! I am terrified by the effect of drugs on my body. I take only OTC sleep meds and then only right before bed.

Seriously, people like Steve Bannon and Roger Stone AdamGG Monday #112

I agree. Faux pas Sunday #3

I stopped watching him years ago because he is a misogynist pig. milestogo Sunday #4

That's why i can't stand him Danmel Sunday #7

He's also no friend to the Trans community and thinks that Milo (something-greek) "has a point there"... QueerDuck Sunday #36

What was "broke with Biden"? He didn't give up earlier? CTyankee Sunday #14

Kind of tough going from "people are starving and living paycheck to paycheck" to Biden's economy is fine. Silent Type Sunday #16

He took it before the debate? OMG. CTyankee Sunday #28

What I heard on a reputable podcast was that he was suffering from severe jetlag and someone had him take an Ambien. ihaveaquestion Sunday #30

There is no way they gave him an ambien before a debate. mr715 Sunday #76

"The entire jetlag story is suspect." BumRushDaShow Sunday #88

He spent six days at Camp David prior to the debate - that should have been enough time to get over jetlag. Midwestern Democrat Sunday #89

Not at his age BumRushDaShow Sunday #91

The jetlag excuse was BS mr715 Sunday #90

I don't give a shit about 45 and his garbage RW talking points BumRushDaShow Sunday #92
