The debate is here! (Well, as I write this, almost here.) And I am practically jumping out of my own skin. How about you all? Discuss.

Sunday Night Presidential Debate Open Thread Oh My Lord It’s Happening
We Hunted The MammothBucking the Backlash
Trump actually shows his face. How can he show his face and not feel humiliated that people are seeing him?
ETA: what is Clinton wearing? It looks awesome but I don’t think I’ve seen a jacket quite like that before.
Dinner, water, backup water (don’t ask), tablet, charger, chair. Check! Let’s get it on!
Wow, look at Trump in the background. He looks like he hasn’t slept in days.
Chuck Tingle is on it, again:

So low energy.
OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT
THEY ARE ADDRESSING THE TRUMP TAPE. OH SHIT HE’S ACTUALLY APOLOGIZING. LOCKER ROOM TALK, REALLY BREH REALLY.
“68% 59% 71%”
– Donald Trump
“Do you think you’re modeling appropriate behavior for our children.” Sure, Trump models alpha male behavior! Why isn’t he owning that? Why is he talking about national debt and law enforcement?
OMG HE’S GASLIGHTING ANDERSON COOPER. YOU CAN’T GASLIGHT MR. THAT’S-A-FIVE-YEAR-OLD’S-ANSWER
Uday and Qusay looking sad….
The first question was an absolute softball and Trump is talking about healthcare instead? Is he afraid he’s gonna forget all those numbers he memorized for the debate and he wants to get them all out now?
Dude’s falling asleep up there
“That is sexual assault”
Anderson Cooper!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh good he apologised for it, that makes it all better.
/s
Is there going to be a “tremendous” counter?
Trump is uncharacteristically low-key. Again with the sniffling.
Lots of word salad going on.
I’ve been told that the sniffle is back. Is this true?
– What about that tape, Donald?
– ISIS
Less than 10 minutes in and he’s already belted out “I never said that,” TO THE TAPE THAT WAS RELEASED 48 HOURS AGO.
Oh for fucks sake, Trump, shut up.
@Skiriki, the sniffle is totally back.
Trump even came out slouching, but it’s too early to hope that he already feels defeated.
Anderson Cooper actually said sexual assault. Tee hee.
Clearly Trump was given a list of talking points by his campaign and he’s trying to hit ALL of them in the first 5 minutes.
Yup, the sniffling is in full effect.
Look at him trying so desperately to sidestep his sexual abuse with muh ISIS.
So Trump squiggles around the question regarding his statements about committing sexual assault by talking about ISIS…wow.
“Trump, would you like to comment on the video?”
“The comments I made were locker room banter, we’re going to defeat ISIS. We’re going to go after ISIS. I’m going to make America safe again.”
Good, thanks for that.
So… Trump is personally going to defeat ISIS by sexually assaulting every soldier and member of it?
