A lot of discussion about the Dem party's options going forward. Two other issues:
(1) We've had a lot of people in government and media saying all the talk about Biden's mental fitness was uncalled for, that Biden was as sharp as a 40 year old, that it was all a right-wing fake media and result of selective editing. A lot of people, until last night, believed this.
The people who knew Biden, had met with him, talked with him or others in the admin, knew this was all a lie. Not a misunderstanding, not a misinterpretation, a blatant lie. Will there be consequences? Will media personalities who pushed this "misinformation" and "disinformation" lose credibility? (Yes, the same thing happened 4 years ago with the pushing of the election fraud cases, etc. It happens on both sides).
(2) Biden's most egregious lie was this line, that I can only think was scripted:
This is false.
The Defense Department confirmed that 13 U.S. service members were killed in a suicide bombing attack at Abbey Gate at the Kabul airport by a member of ISIS-K as the U.S. was leaving Afghanistan.
[The article omits the 3 who died in Jordan as a result of a drone attack in February of this year]
Biden received the bodies of the soldiers in both of these events. It's not something a person forgets. The last one was a mere 4 months ago:
He either chose to lie about this very grave subject or he forgot about it. I'm not sure which is more disqualifying for a president. His administration should apologize immediately to the families of those dead soldiers. I'm very surprised this isn't the main talking point today about just how far he is gone.

Fact check: Biden suggests no troops died under his watch
“The truth is I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any this decade and any troops dying anywhere in the world like he did,” Biden said.This is false.
The Defense Department confirmed that 13 U.S. service members were killed in a suicide bombing attack at Abbey Gate at the Kabul airport by a member of ISIS-K as the U.S. was leaving Afghanistan.

Fact-checking Biden and Trump's claims at the first debate
Trump made a series of misleading statements on topics from Jan. 6 to terrorism to taxes, while Biden flubbed some facts of his own.

Biden attends dignified transfer for U.S. service members killed in Jordan
It is the second dignified transfer the president has attended since he took office.
