We’ve all heard that Trump challenged Biden to take a drug test before Tuesday’s debate. If you haven’t seen Trump’s tweet (of course he vomited it out on Twitter), it’s right here:
I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night. Naturally, I will agree to take one also. His Debate performances have been record setting UNEVEN, to put it mildly. Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy???

The innuendo that Biden is using performance-enhancing drugs is, of course, a reaction to the years of speculation that Trump snorts Adderall or Drano or something. The request itself is insane, and doesn’t deserve consideration. Of course, this isn’t the first time Trump has floated the idea that Biden is doping. Days before, at one of his superspreader rallies, he said, “[D]on’t underestimate [Biden] …. They give [Biden] a big fat shot in the ass, and he comes out, and for two hours, he’s better than ever before.” In August, Trump said at a rally: “I mean, you saw some of those debates with the large number of people on the stage. He was — I mean, I used to say, ‘How is it possible that he can even go forward?’ … Frankly, his best performance was against Bernie. We’re going to call for a drug test, by the way, because his best performance was against Bernie.”
Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, deserves a raise for her response on behalf of the campaign:
Vice President Biden intends to deliver his debate answers in words. If the president thinks his best case is made in urine he can have at it. We’d expect nothing less from Donald Trump, who pissed away the chance to protect the lives of 200K Americans when he didn’t make a plan to stop COVID-19.
It’s a (relatively) polite way for the campaign to say, “Piss on you, Trump.” Funny thing. I say that a lot myself.
Damn. Wasn’t expecting that.
Trump-O is projecting again and if I were Uncle Joe I’d take him up on it…..Joe isn’t the one sniffling continually or rambling on incoherently.
To me’ it is an invasion of privacy, but even a kid getting a job at McDonald’s is required to take the whiz quiz, so what makes politicians who are responsible for much more than “would you like fries with that?” special??? They should ALL be tested.
Piss test… yeah kinda funny that regular joe blow employees have to be tested. But does management ever get tested? Supervisors? Why shouldn’t politicians get tested… well anybody handling live ammunition or say the nuclear football.
Methinks, most folks probably know or suspect but maybe really don’t want to know either.
Don’t mean to kick Larry Kudlow… actually, wish I had trained in Muay Thai…
Where I worked, I got tested – and I was officially low-end management.
What I’d like, if they’re doing a pee test, is for it to be done with observers, to prevent cheating – you know which one would try that.
I thought of the projection, also. Especially when he says “they give him a big shot in the ass”. How else would he know about that, unless he has firsthand knowledge.
And those “want fries with that” actually pay taxes!
The really funny part? The taxes thing is gonna finish neutralizing any bite this charge had anyway.
I’d like to know what kind of drug improves brain function.
Don’t mean to be a gadfly but a couple of points: the most horrendous damage done to human beings & the environment has been done by ‘sober’ & ‘serious’ people in power, not a great defense for sobriety; tens of millions of otherwise law abiding citizens have been criminalized by the cannabis laws laid down by Nixon to quell the protests in the streets. This is evil & destructive as everything the laws are based on is erroneous, & hypocritical, especially given the very same lawmakers ok cigarettes, alcohol, pesticides, pollution, & authoritarian rule. Truth & justice mean something. Science matters.Informed voting matters. Vote. There is a light beckoning us to vote & realize all of us are in this together. As Ben Franklin stated about keeping the resolve for the revolution, “either we shall hang together, or surely, we shall hang separately.”
Ummmm…what? I’m sorry, Scott, but that was a major non-sequitor you just posted there…and I say this as a guy who LIVES in left field.
True, but pointing out cultural bias & acceptance of criminals at the top making law, both having contributed mightily to who is considered a ‘criminal’ & who is ‘respectable’. Who is on ‘drugs’, although the bias ignores medicine cabinets full of drugs. Even coffee alters mood,etc. Thus we have millions who are sitting in jail for no justifiable reason, & the rich & powerful strut around p*ssing on the law under oath. This is why we are where we are. Ignorance, arrogance & the fear of questioning any goddamn thing. As a Religion major, most people don’t know where they actually are on any level but are experts on the invisible force they believe created all of this. Right. Sure. At least scientists throw away old theories when proven wrong. The problem is exactly what Dylan said in Idiot Wind, “their minds are filled with big ideas, images, & distorted facts.” So a cult member gets a lifetime appointment, being placed there by traitors & criminals. Perfect.
Nice pun 🙂
D’OH!!!!
???.??????2.???
Wow! What a comeback! Yes, she deserves a HUGE raise!
I say a lot more than p*ss on him. I find myself expelling ‘eff you’ every time his disgusting personage shows up on my screen, vomiting whatever garbage has just popped into that peanut ‘brain’ of his. For him to demand drug testing of his opponent, besides being a clear case of projection, is obscene, just like himself. What a f*king moron.
Let me gift a little something I got from Pete Townsend in a different context, Carol. If you’ve seen this before, my apologies in advance: “Eff him, eff him, eff him, eff him to death, eff him to hell and beyond.” That about cover it?
Why does Trump sniff all the time? Asking for a friend.
It comes from putting substances up ur nose. Had a friend who really screwed his sinuses snorting too much coke in his youth. Crushed adderall would do the trick. Chronic users get into those kind of issues.
Carrie Fisher always said he was a cokehead and since she knew about that firsthand, I’m inclined to believe her still.
I’ve been chuckling over Ms. Bedingfield’s rejoinder since I first read it. Something has been stuck in the back of my mind and it only hit me a minute ago: she might as well have said “since pee seems to fascinate you so much why don’t you ask your pal Putin to send a couple of Russian hookers?”
President Trump always has a Secret Service protective detail near him, and they would have to have first-aid knowledge AND EQUIPMENT with them. And as an ex-VP Joe Biden knows this.
So if I were he I might wait for (or even trigger, which might well be possible with President Trump) the accusation at the debate itself, then point out the presence of skills and equipment and suggest having blood samples taken for analysis from both of them right there in front of the camera.
This might seriously disconcert the President if he refuses to accept the challenge, and I can think of reasons why he might so refuse. Firstly, of course, he might be dosed up. And secondly, I have read he is extremely squeamish about blood. (And I suppose he would also feel absolute OUTRAGE at having been out-maneuvered.)
I’ll wager Trump is pissed.
