Welcome back Kyber Squadron! This week, Andrés sat through the presidential debate to provide insight into just how much of a mess it was. Kamala won the audio clip debate, Trump won according to his base, and the money behind both candidates won the election as neither side really dug into the specifics of the policies being discussed. The fact that some of the most memorable moments are either lies, zingers with no policy, or 10 second sound bites is a loss for every single voter in the US. However, that won't stop Andrés from digging deeper into the audio bites.  Follow us: Threads: @Sithty_Minutes  Instagram: @PaulaBear92 @RBW3000 @General_Leia_The_Pup @aaa__photog Twitch: @sithty_minutes Show Notes: Immigrant Takeover in Aurora (Debunked) Immigrants Eating Pets (Debunked) Immigrants from Prisons and Asylums (Debunked) Other Big Lies Kamala: "Most Lethal Military" Biden's New Immigration Policy Biden Defends...THE MUSLIM BAN?!
