Harris and Trump debate for the first time, here are some drinking games to help

The first debate between Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump is set for Tuesday, marking the first time the two candidates will face each other since earning their party's nominations.
A number of shot glasses equal to the number of players are filled with different liquids (hot sauce, pickle juice, alcohol if of age and appropriate, etc.) and numbered
The first person to reach bingo on the card drinks the first shot glass
Subsequent bingo callers take the shot that corresponds to the order they call bingo
The rules for the debate between Harris and Trump will remain the same as the one between Trump and Biden as microphones that may be cut, no studio audience and moderators who are able to enforce time limits.
Yet it is highly unlikely that the debate will go off without a hitch and at least one of the candidates will break one of the rules. That's where this game comes in.
For "Debate Foul, Party Foul" each player should have a sipping drink, a shot drink and a designated drink that is particularly foul (hot sauce or Malort, for example).
Anytime a participant attempts to speak past their alloted time take a sip
Anytime a participant attempts to shout over a muted microphone take a shot
If either participant leaves their podium finish the drink in front of you
If either participant walks off stage take a shot of the designated drink

Line by line, sip by sip
Knowledge of political cliches is a double-edged sword in this game, depending on how fast the player wants to drink.
Each player chooses a political cliché or expected line, such as: "my fellow Americans" or "We the People".
Players choose a drink and determine an amount of that drink that constitutes a sip.
Each time the political cliché or expected line spoken, the player drinks.
The Republican party is over. The headstone reads: 1854-2024. 170 years, and Trump has managed to pull them all down to join him in the swamp. At this point, anyone who still believes * the BIG LIE* that Trump is being prosecuted unfairly with the 88 charges *Trump is the savior (some believe he's the return of Christ) You all seriously need to take a look in the mirror. What did you see in Trump that you don't want to let go of? His racism, facist tendencies, his FAKE business success? his rapey way of thinking, what? What appeals to you? Cuz I don't see a single appealing thing about this man. You have become part of a cult. If family members are trying to "talk some sense into you," it's time to listen. Trump is a danger as long as he is able to spew his MAGA FACIST PROPAGANDA. The tail has been wagging the dog for too long. VOTE BLUE 🌎 We are Stronger and Better TOGETHER 💪 🇺🇸
