There was plenty of that before Republicans insisted that the League of Women Voters, who had run them for decades without any problems, were not up to the job. This Commission was set up to allow punks like Trump to act the way he does.
He will just get his panties into a bunch, throw back his CombOver and stump off the stage. But I still think he won’t get an Academy Award. Lindsey Graham might be able to pull it off but not Commander Bone Spurs.
I’m with Ramones on this one: Gimme Shock Treatment.
He wants to be sedated.
Don’t worry,FOX, I’m sure they’ll bothsider this so Trump’s mic is cut when he’s acting like a raving idiot and Biden’s mic will be cut as he’s trying to explain an issue or lay out a policy position.
It’s all good.
I’m down with that one, too, for the Marmalade Menace.
ETA: Though, really, I wish we had just 24 hours to go before, “Au revoir!”
Here’s the thing Steve Douchey. Trump is not and never has been the president of the United States. He is the don of a criminal cabal that has cheated it’s way into the government of the US.
None of them represent this Country or it’s people. They pander to a small, ignorant, violent segment of this population, but they have no more respect for them than they do for the rest of us, our democracy or the rule of law. If the worst should happen and they manage to cheat another election in their favor, they will have no more use for those dumbasses who still cling to Donnie and his criminal enterprise, and they are going to find out just how badly they have screwed themselves by tagging onto this bunch of crooks.
I honestly don’t know which one of the Three Stooges kisses Trump’s ass the most…
Keep in mind that the principle form of discourse on Fox News is talk loud, look angry and don’t let the token opposition guests get any words in. Those are the rules. That’s what you call fair and balanced. Any effort to allow others to talk creates a sense that what they have to say is important and that is inherently unfair and unbalanced as it implies that you could be wrong, which we all know is fundamentally impossible.
“As a Canadian” is trending on social media here, mostly followed by “horrified” memes from Schitt’s Creek. What a clusterfuck of nonsense.
More of an enemy needs to be made of “both sides” crap as well - both sides weren’t dragging that debate into a bog and stuffing it into a metal barrel, that was all Trump.
And scary? He’s not even trying to win votes. He’s planning to win regardless of votes. If I were an American I’d vote for Ted Cruz (and then presumably cut my hands off) over this guy.
We live in great fear that your country has been overcome with madness and we’ll get dragged down with you due to our economic entanglement. Reasonable, respected people are throwing around words like “fascism” and “totalitarianism” and “dictatorship”. Win this goddamn election. More than just sane America has your back, you don’t even know how much.
If we don’t, shut down the border and shoot on sight. Keep the dual plagues of COVID and ZombieTrumper out.
“You know, they both have the right to say what they want,” Doocy said of Trump and Biden. “They just have to figure out how to do it within the rules.”
They had that right on Tuesday and Trump refused to follow the rules. He’s losing. He’ll refuse to follow the rules in the other 2 debates.
How about spray bottles / you know/ like with cats on the furniture?
It would be effective and funny as shit watching the orange drip off.
The sad fact remains that if Chris Wallace were complete fair, it would have seemed that he was beating up on dumpf because a-hole commited 99 percent of the infractions. (And infractions is putting dumbpf’s obnoxious behavior mildly.)
So you’re saying Doocy’s IQ has quadrupled?
Maybe instead of allowing the moderator to cut off the mic of anyone wearing an orange bird’s nest on his head if he interrupts (he’ll just bellow over Biden anyway), the CPD could borrow a punishment from Star Trek’s Mirror universe (introduced in 1967’s classic Mirror, Mirror). A person could be stationed next to each debater (perhaps they could borrow a couple of models from The Price Is Right, which would make it much more palatable for our game show president). The first several times one debater interrupts the other, that model would hold out her hand: “Your agonizer please.” ZZZZZAAP!
After, say, five interruptions, several large and brawny persons will pick up the transgressor and carry him to the center of the stage, where awaits … the agony booth! Now it really gets fun!
Not practical … she needs something to work with.
Doocy and Kilmeade are prepping their low-IQ audience to blindly accept Trump’s refusal to appear under the new rules being drafted by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
Biden, of course, will accept the rules changes as beneficial for the public’s understanding of the issues in the debates.
Trump will rail and bellow and lie and say his rights are being trampled by those unelected Democrats running the debates.
I’d be happy if I’m wrong and Trump shows up at the town hall format debate, but I don’t hold out much hope that he will.
And if he does, he will most assuredly not abide by the rules—because he is not capable of such self-discipline.
I can see no reason why we can’t have the same perjury laws apply to politics and news stations as we do in a court of law…truth is essential for a well functioning democracy and isn’t our democracy just as important as our courtroom trials?
The border is actually still shut down iirc haha.
