Staff Reports
The countdown to the 2024 presidential showdown is on, with the first debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump set to be a spectacle, or as some might prefer to call it, a sideshow. This riveting event starts at 9 p.m. Eastern, promising to be more thrilling than a reality TV elimination episode.
Leave it to CNN, the bastion of unbiased reporting (ahem), to host this grand spectacle in Atlanta. Moderated by the network’s Dana Bash and Jake Tapper, whose credentials for neutrality are impeccable (if one lives in an alternate universe), this 90-minute verbal bout will feature all the drama one can handle, complete with two commercial breaks for the sponsors to cash in.

Watch presidential debate live: Joe Biden and Donald Trump debate in Atlanta.
In a move to save everyone from endless crosstalk, both candidates’ microphones will be muted when it is not their turn to speak. This means the nation will get the rare chance to see Biden without his trusty teleprompter, which should be amusing, to say the least. Conversely, Trump will be his usual unfiltered self, giving voice to the frustrations of millions who feel silenced.
In a stroke of fate only Lady Luck could have arranged, Trump’s team won the coin toss, securing the final word in the debate. One can almost hear the anguished cries of the mainstream media, who are undoubtedly apprehensive about Trump’s parting comments.
For those who haven’t had enough of political theater, this debate is expected to be a high-stakes affair, with pundits suggesting it could greatly sway the outcome of November’s election. As the political circus unfolds, one thing is certain: it will be a night to remember.
