THE PLANET ASKS YOU TO PREDICT THE OUTCOME OF BIDEN v. TRUMP GABFAST
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY JUNE 26, 2024) — It’s been called the most important presidential debate since Nixon-Kennedy in 1960, barely edging out when Rob Tuttle smeared the floor with Lew Markham.
THE PLANET doesn’t fully buy the analogy, but there’s enough truth in it to be allowed. This sort of comparison pretends eras are politically and socially comparable. They’re not. Comparing Babe Ruth to Barry Bonds produces little useful information except to reveal prejudice.
Trump-Biden: The Face Plant-a in Atlanta.
On The Weekend Edition, we shall give our view on the 90 minutes to be aired (and hosted) by CNN. ABC also will air the showdown. We shall evaluate based on what we see. THE PLANET has hosted and moderated countless debates, and irrespective of our personal views, we conducted them in the moment, preconceptions aside. That’s what we’ll do Thursday night. If Biden cleans Trump’s Piaget, we shall say so. If Donald sends Joe to the old folks’ home, likewise.
———- ooo ———-
That’s where THE PLANET‘s journalistic training comes into play. We know how to put blinders aside and leave the amber-tinted aviators in the glove compartment. We’re going to judge based on what we witness, reporting and interpreting as we see fit.
Meanwhile, we would like to know YOUR feelings and predictions. It won’t surprise us to see Trump’s people calling it for The Donald, pointing out how CNN has rigged the dice. Biden’s choir will sing hosannas about how great Syracuse Joe is doing.
We do invite free thinking on this, pretending that such a thing is possible.
You see, we appreciate fantasy — in it’s proper place, of course.
With that, fire away.

Thursday night’s Presidential Debate preview:
Joe Biden’s statement: I am proud of my son, Hunter Biden.
Donald Trump’s reply: You are delusional.
Donald Trump’s statement: I am a victim of the Democratic Party’s show trials.
Joe Biden’s reply: I took classified documents home, Hillary Clinton took her government server with classified documents home and then she destroyed the aforementioned server, and there are Congressional Inquiries into my family’s business overseas business dealings in China, Ukraine, and elsewhere. The top Democrats in the Swamp are above the law!
Joe Biden’s statement: I love abortion. Trump hates abortion.
Donald Trump’s reply: I am the ultimate moral hypocrite. I openly cheated on all 3 of my wives. I have 5 children by 3 women. I allegedly paid a porn star and Playboy model to stay silent over my alleged love affairs with them. I am said to be the racist leader of the White Christian Nationalist political movement, but I am really the leader of the Republican Party’s legacy of moral hypocrisy in politics.
Joe Biden’s statement: I am here for the battle for the soul of America.
Donald Trump’s reply: You have a long history of racism in politics. I find your moral high ground stance similar to your Holier than Though Catholic attitude.
Donald Trump’s statement: Last week, for the first time ever, I out raised Joe Biden in campaign fundraising.
Joe Biden’s reply: In 2020, I raised and spent more campaign dollars than any politician in U.S. history.
Donald Trump’s statement: Joe Biden’s federal spending is the highest ever without a major war and/or public health pandemic.
Joe Biden’s reply: Donald Trump added a little less than $8 trillion to the U.S. national debt in his 4 years as U.S. President.
Joe Biden’s statement: I am the leader of the Green New Deal. I want everyone to drive electric cars, install heat pumps and solar panels, and purchase expensive energy products.
Donald Trump’s reply: Joe Biden’s inflation rate averages 5.4 percent, he fist-bumped Saudi Crown Prince MBS on the world stage to import more foreign oil while he turns around and sells oil and gas supplies to China, India and other Asian nations, and he surpassed me as the number one U.S. President for arms sales when we all know that the military industrial complex is the single largest polluter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world.
Joe Biden’s statement: I have been in the Swamp for over 51 years now. I have been running for U.S. President since 1988. I am worth many millions of dollars as a career politician. I am good friends with billionaire John Forbes Kerry. I like to vacation with my super wealthy supporters. When Nancy Pelosi said that she is only worth $115 million a few years ago, I laughed at her being so humble.
Donald Trump’s reply: I declared multiple business bankruptcies, I refused to release my tax returns to the public, I am a real estate mogul and entertainer, and I am a billionaire. I love America because I get to be a rich buffoon.

Biden can’t even acknowledge his granddaughter.Tells me all I need to know about the man.
After reading that post it reminded me of a couple of my really good and flawed quotes.
“Who says nothing is impossible, some people do it everyday.” This post proves it.
“First comes pleasure now comes work. So pull up your britches and make sure to clean up really well. Enjoy the mess.”
Is there anyway we can put a camera on cuckoo TSC and livestream it?
That would be disgusting and not fit for children.
Biden’s quacks will give him a shot in the ass of some stimulant. Watch for Biden to be pissed off with his eyes bugging out of his head.
They better have NARCAN available in case they over dose Dementia Joe.
Several of the right wing pundits including Steve Bannon are encouraging Trump to drop out, because, of course, “it is all rigged against him, unfair CNN, setting him up for ambush, unfair to Trump, biased questions, biased hosts, the whole world is against the poor guy struggling to make America great again.”
I predict Trump drops out at the last minute citing bone spurs. You heard it here first.
That is a WHOPPER OF A LIE!!!
Except that it is all rigged.
Carry on with fake news Snarky.
Donald Trump will spend more time fixing his hair than preparing for the debate and then give twenty-five reasons afterwards why it was rigged against him when he has made a total ass of himself on national TV.
Again!
Keep in mind that this is the same guy that famously stared right into the eclipse (on national television) right after a thousand warnings not to. You can’t fix stoopid.
So you are rooting for the Depends model
Biden and team are spending a large amount of time preparing for the debate at the CNN studio going over where, how and when to leave the stage when the debate is over for Joe.
I hope Biden recaps how fine the economy is and why a happy meal costs 18 bucks
This day came in the 2020
selection. He hit the mail on the head.
“On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” H.L. Mencken
HLM–The finest prose stylist of the 20th century. Thanks, OPIE.
Trump won’t drop out, but it will be a coordinated effort by Biden and the CNN hosts to take down Trump. Lots of questions about his conviction, also orchestrated by Joe, to get him upset. “How does it feel to be a convicted felon?”, “Do you have any advice for other convicted felons? Trump should say, “Maybe Joe should ask his son those questions”. It will be those types of questions while coddling Biden all the way with his 2 break times for only a 90 minute so-called debate and giving him the questions beforehand. No drug testing so Joe will be pumped up on something. I don’t think this debate will solve anything for the American people although the left wants to put the election on the line from this debate so they will be pulling out all the stops.
If you paid to go to joke school you should ask for a refund
Odds on Joe will crap his pants? Is that what the two commercial breaks are for?
Breaks are for stimulant Booster Shots in the ass.
Too clean his dirty ass……..I’d run down the leg and be seen.
Are they bringing in a nascar crew to quickly change Brandon’s diaper?
Still wondering, only broadcast TV that you can get here is Ch 6 (Hancock) and 13 (south mountain Pitt) out of Albany, are they covering it?
Sorry TSC, Fox don’t get here……….
6 is CBS and 13 is NBC
So, is it broadcast, Jethro?
Channel 6 is listed as airing it at 9, as is Channel 10 and Channel 13. Channel 10 has pre-debate programming scheduled for 8-9.
Thanks Dan. I’ll be watching on C-SPAN, which televises without commentary, and then usually takes calls for viewer response, from three lines – dem, gop and independent.
That’s where I’m watching, too.
Joe Biden has serious old age issues and does show signs of dementia. That the polls are even close at this time is shocking since so many Americans seem to think Joe is capable of another 4 years or are they are just trying to drag him over the finish line to make room for Kamala Harris to become president. Either way, it’s not good because Harris has shown her lack of ability to even be VP and we need a competent president more than ever right now because of all the turmoil in this country and the rest of the world. I think President Trump has an excellent chance of doing well at the debate because he is so much sharper than Biden. Biden has refused to do a drug test before the debate.
Commieala has been in charge of the wide open border disaster along with incompetent Mayorkus.
Voters should keep in mind the chance of Harris becoming the president because of Biden not making it through his 4 year term again if selected again. I think that possibility will bring in some votes for Trump.
Maybe, unless Trump picks Marjorie Taylor Green as his VP and that is a real possibility. He has been know to take loyalty over substance every time. Plus he wants the trans gender vote.
Biden’s so old he farts dust
Is this really going to be a debate?
No live audience. Cutting off the microphones, so no true debate will actually happen. EVERYTHING planned, including the terms of the “debate” set up exclusively by China Joe’s team.
China Joe Xiden will have been given the questions and practicing Bathhouse Hussein Obama’s “answers” all weekend long.
**My prediction, if Trump gets Xiden off the rails and he starts babbling gibberish, talking about his uncle getting eaten by cannibals, or how he took a train from Delaware to Africa and held hands with black children when he was growing up, CNN will have “technical difficulties” and cut too commercial immediately.
Does not matter Markus. The whole election has already been rigged by the Venezuelans just like the last time and this time there will be interference from the Pintubi tribe as well, which is an aboriginal people in deep outback Austraila. That is how bad it has gotten against Trump.
Its awful I tell ya. Just awful.
The terms of the debate were not set up exclusively by Biden’s team. They were negotiated by the Trump and Biden teams – otherwise neither would be participating!
Trump didn’t ask for terms just to get the demented one to participate.
Trump would not have a problem with Kennedy or Stein being there too.
The business model of CNN bonking they’re viewers over the head with activism disguised as reporting isn’t working as well anymore for them.
CNN’s numbers are way down, reflecting what you say. Nonetheless, Thursday night, viewship will be sky high.
They have the most corrupt moderators to be found. Why don’t they just knife Trump in the back now?
I shall be watching the moderators as much as the candidates. If they are pros, it will show. If they are Biden plants, that will as well.
Jake the fake a democrat hack a pro? He should go back to Hooters where he got his start as a spokesman. He belongs with other big boobs.
Trumps debate rules are his
Trap,
Just when you thought they couldn’t get any worse than Flapper and Bash for this presidential debate , word is out that if Joe survives this one, for the second debate the democrats want Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to be the moderators.
Don’t worry fake Jake will remind sleepy Joe if he loses his place.
The majority of so called journalists in today’s world would rather curl up in the fetal position on mommy and daddy’s spare sofa in the basement rather than compromise their woke principles by reporting
unbiased news.
Biden will be sky high and bug eyed
CNN is trying to be FOX
Supreme Court just sided with censorship, 6-3.
Goodbye 1st.

Pittsfield (Mass.) Mayor Peter Marchetti blocked my political emails.
I should have kissed his dirty behind for serving as mayor so he will collect his 6-figure city public pension plus perks for life when he retires, along with his bank’s 401k pension and his Golden Years Social Security monthly checks.
I should have told him how proud I am of him for publicly asking for a 90-day grace period free from criticisms, along with his statement that he is not a fan of social media commentary. I should have told him that he should be treated like a King whereby FREE SPEECH is met with the harshest of RETRIBUTION.
I should have told him that his use of the City’s FREE CASH to pay pot settlements to Luciforo and the 2 other marijuana companies benefited the taxpayers….because PIGS have WINGS and FLY. I should have told him that he was (NOT) right not to tell Luciforo to GO TO HELL!
I should have told him that his $216 million municipal operating budget that raised city spending by the predictable Pittsfield politics rate of 5 percent per fiscal year was a stroke of genius. I should have told him that him raising the water and sewer rates by 8 percent was the lowest rate hikes in the last couple of years.
I should have told him that him being named in Victoria May’s federal sex discrimination and sexual harassment civil lawsuit versus the Pittsfield Co-op Bank shows that he is the target of an alleged witch hunt. I should have told him that Victoria May’s allegations that Peter Marchetti called her a BITCH could not possibly be true.
I should have told him that he stands for “One Pittsfield”. I should have told him that the 2 Petes city government will unite the city towards progress for Pittsfield’s Level 5 public schools, Pittsfield’s inner-city distressed neighborhoods, Pittsfield’s downtown that is also known as Social Services Alley, Pittsfield’s violent crime rate more than doubling the statewide average since at least 1980’s, and so on.
I should have told him that NO baseball in 2024 was not his fault. I should have told him that he should spend the city’s tax dollars on flowers and PRIDE flags instead.
Jon Melle
Jon, don’t feel bad. Don’t take it to heart. The new breed of politicians in Pittsfield now block taxpayers on social media, and also do not return phone calls or emails. They just do as their told by Mayor Pete. Mayor Pete doesn’t like social media because he doesn’t like to read the truth.
I think there’s a chance Donald will bail, because he senses he will be exposing the real Trump without the benefit of a safety net. No chance that Biden will bail.
If all parties show, I think Trump will be unable to control his anger and frustration which will make him look like the petty tyrant that he is. I think Biden will make many flubs, but will hold it together and come off as much more professional than the Donster.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, as we shall see when Friday morning rolls around.
Trump will be drugged up during the debate.
Biden refused drug test , Trump asked for one by both, azzhole
Biden will eat Trumps lunch
Before the Debate, Biden will eat Trumps lunch, thinking that it’s his. After the Debate, Dr. Pepper Jill will change Biden’s diaper.
Zing!!
Biden will eat a baloney sandwich before the debate ~ then they’ll give him a shot in the ass of some stimulants that make him bug eyed and pissed off.
Reelecting Biden is like the Titanic backing up to hit the iceberg again.
Biden can’t even eat Jill anymore.
But she still does his diapers.
That’s your contribution?
That is actually one of his more intelligent ones, sad to say.
I’m disgusted by our Selected Government/Junta
Not a stool sample, running down my leg, like Joe.
Sub N beeffy, do You even remember that place?
The Hi Cue, and dances at the Boys club Saturday nights?
I remember South County whites and west side blacks getting into a beef.
Some friends were azzholes who shot their mouths off, some on the other side too
I, went to the black man from the “west side” who seemed to be OK/sensible.
I said some of my friends have REALLY BIG MOUTHS, but REALLY SMALL MINDS. can you accept our apology and stop this?
He did and no fighting ensused….I wish knew his name now, a good man.
Biden is a lot like Pete White. They are both master debaters.
Trump, to prepare for the debate, spent time arguing with dementia patients.
Biden: I’ve lowered our debt by …
“A Trillion, three hundred billion million trillion” since I took office.
That is from the clown with our Nuclear Codes.
Reputable folk are reporting that Melania says he will not be going with Donald should he win the election. What woman would not want to live in the White House and be waited on hand and foot?
I think that says all ya need to know about the guy OK?
p.s. Once favorite daughter Ivanka wants nothing to do with him either. I wonder why his family feels this way. Hmmmmm Maybe the family has been rigged.
Jill is the only one comes to mind as one who would want to be waited on hand and foot. She loves the trappings of what comes with being in the White House. Why do you think she is pushing elder abuse by demanding Joe to run again. Melania has all she needs and more without being in the White House.
Who’s reporting that? 51 hacks from the CIA or 16 flunky fake economists?
I believe the people in Berkshire County vote out of habit. That’s why once somebody gets in office and runs again they’re more than likely gonna get in again. People are afraid of the newcomer.
Actually I think Pittsfield union folk vote according to the list they are handed the day before the election.
If Biden can go AWOL at Camp David for a week of studying, who is running the Country? Just watched how CNN is going to work the microphones. Pathetic at its best. This is not a debate. Not even worth watching.
Tapper: Mr. Trump, why are you a Nazi?
Trump: I’m not, and it’s a label republican’s get every presidential election and pretty much any election they run in from democrats .
Tapper: President Biden, why is Mr. Trump lying about not being a
Nazi?
It’s hard to believe the best we can do is these two guys. Biden is an illiterate semi-disabled overrated career politician. This guy won’t even acknowledge his biological grandson. Trump is a businessman hustler former casino owner who has to pay mega-bucks to shut up his out of the closet douche bags. Hang on to your hats. We’re in for a wild ride.
And one more before the debate , FJB!!!
Biden ain’t got it. Replace or lose race.
