    It was not a pitiful display by Trump. He mopped the floor with Joe. Trumps falsehoods and misleading statements? You are echoing mainstream media vocal points, Trump went up with facts and whooped the whole debate.

    I think if you want to be a good content creator you might want to keep your political opinions to yourself whether you like Trump or don't like him you don't need to talk about his the way he is on the debate

    As someone with so many subscribers, maybe you could have a word with YT about deep fake ads within your content. Large accounts need to speak up. e.g. Oprah is not selling pink salt weight loss nonsense.

    The Janet Jackson thing was mostly just "The Superbowl. Everybody watches it, including children and old people. And you put that into our homes." Actually, the whole Superbowl half-time show was vulgar and disgusting. After the sftermath, the next Superbowl halftime show was Tom Petty and Paul McCartney.

    The SNL Ashley SImpson thing has a decent explanation. Her producer says that she uses a "click track" that includes her vocals so she can sing to them. Apparently a lot of artists use this. It let's you know where in the song you are and it makes your vocals line up with what's recorded on the album. She (or any of her band mates) should have stopped the show when she/they realized it was the wrong song. And started over with the right song. Or just sing the same song again. Anything but bailing would've been a better idea.

    The comments about the debate? Trump was Trump, true but you leave out the most important fact. The DNC said Biden was competent and cogent, he was neither and it was clearly evident. The debate was not an embarrassment, it thankfully brought out the truth about Biden state of mind.

    Yes you may not like trump but he was the same guy from all the other 2016 debates and you would have to list those as being disgraceful too then.

    Watch mojo letting politics creep into their videos.

    Please don’t …

    Everything Trump said during that debate was factual. Joe Biden did the lying. Remember, he claimed Hunter made no money from China the Ukraine, or any other country. But that was a lie. He said Hunter’s laptop is fake. That was a lie and he said the Russian dossier paid for by Hillary was real. That was a lie. So mojo get back to me on exactly what Trump lied about because I think your head still way up your ass better pull it out before you lose viewers.

    Hell, no don’t blame Trump because the person he was debating was senile insane the whole time Biden was in a chair. He couldn’t even make a complete sentence. How would you expect Trump to respond to that? I wouldn’t respond to stupidity either Trump 2025 forever.

    If Janet Jackson wanted to show her boobs, she should have gone to do a porn movie or maybe do a diddy freak out. Not everyone wanted to see her tits.

    The constant attacks on Trump based on the Media's slander are so tiring. Trump won because the Democrats were closely watched after the subterfuge of 2020. Trump is a leader and a very wise businessman. That is what we need, especially after the debauchery of the last administration.
