Republican lawmakers, right-wing media outlets and influencers, and Trump himself are pushing conspiracies about Biden’s health and the debate in general.

        Donald Trump, his allies and right-wing media are whipping up conspiracy theories that his rival Joe Biden is using amphetamines, slamming Mountain Dew and using a secret earpiece…

        I didn’t know the old gamer cocktail could do that.

          So, following the “every accusation is a confession” it would stand to reason Trump is doing all of those things. Which tracks actually…

            I hear boofing a Mountain Dew is this generation’s version of gingering an old horse.

              gingering an old horse.

              Wonder who figured this trick and what were they doing in the first place?

      Do you have ADHD? Do you feel like your cognition has declined? Do you suffer from chronic pain? There are lots of drugs, but sometimes it takes a long time to find the ones that help. It is easier when you’re wealthy and doctor’s aren’t scared to try things for off-label use. Look at how much success people have had with Modafinil but how regulated it is still for things other than Narcolepsy.

      It’s called speed. It’s been shown to improve cognitive abilities, whether you “need” it or not. Life cheat code

      Edit: I should have just said amphetamines, not speed (which also includes meth), my bad!

          Meth =/= speed although they are similar

          Edit to clarify: all meth is speed; not all speed is meth. Any variety of amphetamine can be referred to as speed, but saying adderall is meth would not be correct. So I’m wrong here. My bad guys!

            Speed is literally a street name for methamphetamine.

              Historically it meant amphetamines, but it can apply to both now. Street language isn’t exactly set in stone.

              I always have called amphetamines (adderall, dex, Ritalin, etc) speed. Meth is crank. Just google “speed drug” the first thing that pops up is amphetamines

              They are very similar though

                  lol that’s great man. I was referring to amphetamines, not methamphetamine. Again, similar, not the same thing. I’m sorry we have different street names for our drugs lmao

          I actually stopped taking it a couple years ago! But it certainly stopped being as useful as it once was so I think I’m better off. Thank you for your concern kind stranger!

    Transparent astroturfing.

    The staff is laying a foundation so that when Trump - an arrogant, oblivious nitwit with the attention span of a five-year-old - inevitably comes out of it the obvious loser - they will already have the base primed to believe that that somehow reflects poorly on… Biden.

      Biden actually did come out to be the loser tonight as sad as it may be. Despite lies by Trump, Biden couldn’t remember his talking points, stumbled over words, and was only confident that he would keep supporting genocide.

    “Biden will have been at Camp David for a full week before the debate, and … they’re probably experimenting with getting doses right, getting him medicine before the debate,” said Jackson, who is currently running for Congress in Texas with Trump’s endorsement.

    Yeah, I’m sure an 80 year old guy on a week-long, medical grade, stimulant bender would be FULL of energy come the debate.

    No holes in that logic at all.

    They should have to do another drug after every question in the debate.

    What if, crazy idea, he agreed to the debate because he was perfectly fine and able to debate?

    Probably too simple to be true. The secret camp David stimulant testing lab is probably what actually happened.
