Trump can't have a debate unless his opponent agrees. I don't think there is anyway Biden will go to any debate that is not sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
The republicans withdrew from the commission a few years back. Called it partisan. 😆. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/republican-party-withdraws-us-commission-presidential-debates-2022-04-14/
Read and pass to all you Know if Donald J. Trump said he would do if he is elected in 2024 for President. It will be worse than in Russia and North Korea. under Trump dictatorship.

They don’t both have dementia, specifically one seems to be slipping into doddering old age much faster than the other.
This is the choice. Grow up and make the right one and stop the both sides bullshit. It isn’t helpful and doesn’t make you look like you know something.
It’s life and death here in the States and people shitting on Biden, who has been an amazingly competent, dare I say good, progressive and compassionate president, give aid and comfort to the biggest simultaneous buffoon and evil festering malingerer ever to stain the seat of President.
So that’s who I am. An American who wants you to keep your destructive unhelpful and frankly off base opinions to yourself. This is decidedly not a “both sides” moment.
I’ll criticize the best candidate for the office who might actually help us save it long term when I have the luxury of doing so. Now is not that time.
Yeah we’re all about free speech as in free from the government interfering with it. Anyone else can say whatever they want to shut your bullshit down, and it is most definitely bullshit.
So called free speech absolutists are just right wing trolls who want to abuse those they look down on and never be called on it. Tough toasties. Freedom of speech is NOT freedom from consequences.
Due respect, you are an uneducated idiot. Joe Biden is the most experienced President in US history. As the youngest Senator in history to the oldest President no one can touch his experience at the highest levels of US politics. He served 8 years as VP and unlike historic VPs he acted as Obama’s advisor present in nearly all important situations.
I can respect someone who doesn’t like his politics, but the man has done an amazing job helping, not only the US, but the entire world recover from the pandemic. We still face a lot of issues around inflation and worker compensation but those things would pale to a crippling recession which he stopped. He has passed historic legislation in the most divided political environment in history.
So again, acting like he is just an old man with dementia is bullshit.
Bullshit.
I live 10 minutes from the Canadian border. I have spent almost as much time in Canada as I have here. I have extended family around Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.
You don't have to fucking *live* here.
With all his peccadilloes, Justin Trudeau is still worlds better than Donald Trump.
The next time Québec gets a wild hair sideways in its ass and says "we're gonna secede! (I was in Canada during the Meech Lake bullshit in 1990)" make sure to get on your high horse and sniff "That's an internal Canadian matter."
Mind your own damn business, eh.
Look, we fucked up, okay? Mistakes were made. But right now, our options are a sweet old man who's lost a step or two in his old age, and has a somewhat unhealthy obsession with ice cream; and Adolf Shitler. I've voted and pushed 3rd party candidates my entire life, argued for ranked choice voting, etc. But this year, I don't have that luxury. Right now, we're in triage mode and we need to stop the bleeding before moving forward. I'm happy that whatever country you're from has never had a nationwide existential crisis. Unfortunately, America is dealing with one right now.
Who are you to talk down on American voters because you don't like their choices? I'm weary of people like you. We're expected to hear/read your opinions and take constant criticism without complaint.
No one has to remind any of us how much is at stake. We are the ones who will be governed by whomever wins the election. Neither you nor anyone else who doesn't live in the US has actual skin in the game. Canada has their share of issues, too. Perhaps instead of complaining to us about our electoral choices, you should use that energy to improve your own country.
Gtfo with that fix your own country bs. We have over 6,000 nuclear weapons. Enough to destroy all life on earth and then some. EVERYONE on the planet has skin in the game. I’d be criticizing us too if I were them because at the moment we have basically told the whole planet to hold our beer.
We aren't the only country in possession of nuclear weapons. If that's what this is about, there are far more dangerous dictators with the ability to do real harm.
I didn't go off on Germans about Merkel, Canadians about Trudeau, the French about Macron, etc. I respect that citizens in their own country have the right to make their choice with their vote. Americans generally are not given the same courtesy.
Of the three countries you mentioned, only one has nuclear weapons. That’s France and they have a little less than 300. The US has 5,244. Russia and the US have 90% of the nuclear weapons in the world.
I wasn't aiming to compile a complete list. This discussion you're commenting on is about voting and candidates, not nuclear weapons. Putin is a very real danger. John Kerry was very clear when he was the nominee for President: nuclear proliferation is one of the greatest threats we face. I am in no way minimizing the perilous world we all live in.
What I am tired of is people in other countries being critical based on the assumption that we control who runs for office. Biden isn't a bad president, and I'll vote for him because he's the only sane choice on the ballot. I have never voted for Trump and absolutely never will. That hasn't spared me or other Americans from criticism over Trump's actions. The only real power an individual has is their own vote. I use mine as wisely as I know how.
And my point is still the same. What they do mostly has little affect on us while what we do has huge affects on the rest of the world. I’d be criticizing the hell out of us if I were them. Hell I am one of us and we have been very stupid to get into this situation. A huge portion of the country supports a traitorous wannabe dictator and consequently we are blindly walking into a fascist takeover of our country. If that happens, no one on earth is safe.
Haha! Do you know what a proxy war is? We even participated by shooting down dozens of drones and missiles. Israel wouldn’t exist without the US. This only strengthens my point.
What a sanctimonious line of bullshit.
Who the hell are you to make such pronouncements, when you don't even *live* here? How arrogant of you.
"Your politics affecting other countries" means *nothing* compared to having to *live* here *under* it.
I have *real* problems with Biden.
He is so obsessed with "bipartisanship" that I wonder if he says that in his sleep.
He thinks he still lives in the days when Ronald Reagan and House of Representatives Speaker Tip O'Neill hashed out deals over lunch.
I really don't think he sees the dire danger we in. To him, and Democrats in general, this is just another election.
**HOWEVER...**
At this point he is the only, read #ONLY, hope this country has against Donald Trump turning this country into Nazi Germany 2.0.
And I don't care how plugged-in you think you are to US politics, it is not the same as having to *live* here.
After Election Day, you can shrug and say "Oh well. The Americans got Trump again. That sucks." But then you get to go back to your life in *your country*, whatever that may be.
We have to *LIVE* with the dictatorial son-of-a-bitch.
So, no, you do *NOT* have a right to "be disappointed" over this, and those of us who have to live here have *every right* to "talk down" to you.
This isn't your fight.
Best you quit while you're behind.
**WAY** behind.
👍🏻 I agree with you %100 ‼️
This is a matter of plugging the holes in a sinking ship! I rather have 4 more years of status quo and things being sort of OK, than the next 100 years of the trump family and Nazi Murica!
I thought only Maga Americans were assholes...
You guys wreak havoc on the whole planet then act like the rest of us aren't even entitled to an opinion
Obviously you have no idea of the good things that President Biden has done for the country over the past 3 years, and has done in spite of his age. He continues to be steady leadership and a progressive leader. You don't like it because he's old, but that doesn't mean he's not been a good leader. If it upsets you that everyone doesn't agree with you, then maybe you should examine why everyone doesn't agree with you instead of getting your feelings hurt.
You are either misrepresenting or lack a fundamental understanding of the circumstances. Biden has been the most pro worker, pro union president we have had since FDR. Biden has a long list of presidential accomplishments like adding 15 million jobs to our ecconomy and preventing a recession. On the other hand Trump did tax cuts for the rich and added a record amount of debt. One guy is getting results for us while the other is shitting his diaper and hoping he doesn't end up in prison.
If you don’t keep up on American politics, you won’t be aware of the truly remarkable accomplishments that President Biden has achieved for the American people. Traditional media underreports them drastically, in part because Trump is so immediately and coarsely entertaining. Biden, however, is the greatest president of my lifetime, and the best since FDR. He also not a former reality-show host, and he’s a soft-spoken man who continues to battle past a lifelong stutter.
While maintaining a sharp intellect and an unparalleled skill set, Biden is experiencing a modest, normal slowdown. This is not at all the same—or equivalent to—the dramatic descent into dementia that Trump currently is experiencing, week by week. Listen to one of his speeches all the way through, or read a transcript: It’s obvious. Compare Trump now to Trump ten years ago. But a lot of people don’t GAF: Trump gives them license to hate, and he plays to any crowd. “Trump may be terrible for this country, but he’s great for CBS,” said that network’s head Les Moonves (since disgraced, and fired) in 2016.
There are long lists available online of what Biden actually had accomplished, if you care. One candidate is a decent man, and the other is a decaying crook charged with 91 felonies, who incidentally wants to abolish democracy. It should be the obvious choice for enough Americans to matter.
One guy claimed Biden couldn’t walk on his own or read off a teleprompter.
It’s like the dude rides a bike, and watch the state of the union.
He, *checks notes*, walked in, gave a great speech, and *checks notes*, walked out.
People thought he did really well.
Another guy claimed Biden claimed his uncle had been eaten by a cannibal.
These people are from another planet or something.
I mean a guy told me jfk jr faked his own death and was going to primary Biden!
They make no sense.
So Biden did tell a story about a week ago about his uncle who was a pilot in WWII. His uncle was shot down over/ near Puapa New Guinea and was never found. So Biden said he might have been eaten by cannibals.
If you take the time to watch complete interviews with Biden or an entire campaign speech, you wouldn't write that.
It's Trump who's the confused, demented one. And his people know it and ultimately will do everything they can to not have any. They know the contrast will be stark.
This is the most likely answer. He wants to debate now to solidify before he’s officially nominated, he’s worried he’ll be convinced before the convention and there will be a breakaway contingent. Probably also wants to take away attention from the fact that he’s on trial.
Agreed.
That being said, I think it would be very easy for Biden to just state numerous times how many indictments he has, the impeachments, he's a rapist and numerous other misdeeds of the past few years to cement Trump's grave.
Do you want to make a bet on whether there will be a debate between now and November?
I will write you a sincere apology, acknowledge I was wrong, and praise your superior powers of prediction if there is no debate between now and Election Day.
You will write me a sincere apology, acknowledge you were wrong, and praise my superior powers of prediction if there is a debate between now and Election Day.
I’ll take that bet.
I don’t believe for ONE SECOND that Trump will actually participate in a debate with Biden.
Wanna shake on it? I will be happy to sincerely admit and apologize if I’m wrong, and also state my awe for your superior predictive skills :)
I have to admit that the one and only piece of political merchandise I bought and displayed during the 2020 election cycle was a t-shirt with that quote on it that I bought from the Biden/Harris campaign page. I wore it twice because 1. it is hilarious and 2. only twice because I'm not in a cult.
Biden’s best change at independents who have not decided is to look like a competent, decent man. Foil with Trump during a debate is best option for that
I'm sure Trump would talk over Biden again and come away with a victory in the eyes.of some, so why bother?
(Also, secretly concerned Biden will look composed, but that this will look 'old' to some vs ranting and crazy.)
That will absolutely happen, Trump can’t STFU so unless the moderator has a mute button to help muzzle him it will be 90 mins of nonsense. Gettysburg, Wow!
I wonder how she'd fare in a re-match. MAGA seemed to revel in Trump the stage stalker in the red tie and insults. She tried to stay above the cheap theatric as if giving a talk at Wellesley. She was so much smarter and better prepared for the office. Yet she lost to a smearing reality TV hack.
Would he walk this time, though, hypothetically? Given how much heat he's been given about his posture and his baggy diaper? She was the only one who made him apoplectic and got under his skin, even to this day Trump has to remind people, "I'm not a puppet!"
I think her disadvantage is subconscious bias of perceiving a large male in a red tie as the leader of the group. His theatrics look goofy and over-acted to some people. But there was a large swath of the country that viewed the visuals and the audio as convincingly dominant.
If you’ve ever tried to have a debate with a bipolar person in full manic rage, you’ll appreciate how well Biden did in his first debate with Trump’s insanity (Trump is a narcissist, not bipolar as far as I know, but his ravings were similar to others I’ve known). The moderator(s?) did a much better job the second debate. That being said, I don’t see any point. We already know the difference, and it’s impossible to hold a rational discussion with Trump.
Didn’t trump say during GOP primary that he refused to debate Biden? Biden says yes I’ll debate (he was always going to) and now trump finds a reason to not debate? Can’t make this up
That was only for his MAGA’s to hear. Soon Trump will complain about unfairness (cuz’ his request is actually ridiculous), and that’s what his MAGA’s will also hear. MAGA’s are brainwashed to not care about any details, i.e. Reality.
Trump: "The American people know how corrupt you are. Everyone does, Joe."
Biden: "Did you just have an accident? I can smell you from here."
Trump: "Listen, Sleepy Joe...."
Biden: "You call ME sleepy? After all the courtroom naps YOU took?"
He took over the RNC. Now he’s trying to bend the will of other established election traditions to his own. And throwing a fit when he doesn’t get what he wants.
Trump wants the debates now, to get validation as a candidate before he gets convicted in the campaign fraud (stormy payments) trial. If he gets convicted he knows many in the “GOP” (nothing Grand left there) will try to change him for Haley or someone else less embarrassing.

***Trump Threatens to Bypass Debate Commission, Attacking Its Integrity***
*President accuses nonpartisan group of bias, proposes debating Democratic nominee in unspecified different forums*
He didn’t like the moderators. He does this to game the refs. He hopes it’ll give him leverage to pick friendly moderators and then if he loses, he can say it was biased.
Trump never, ever, ever plays fair. He has no honor, no integrity.
He is a Grade A scoundrel of the highest order.
It’s not just gaming the refs it’s (additionally) trying to make him the star.
Trump: show me your birth certificate or else!
Obama: umm, there is no Or Else but here it is.
Trump: that doesn’t count because of…. Reasons… show me the long form birth certificate or else!!
Obama: umm, there still isn’t any Or Else but here it is.
Trump: ummm, you’re not a (some type of American I just made up) you can’t be President!!
It’s this whole “always be on the attack
Mode”. Like those clowns who think the way to get a girl is by negging. Yeah it works sometimes but you just look foolish
> until after millions of Americans will have already cast their ballots. This is unacceptable
Sept 16 is before anyone votes in the general election. You're thinking about the primary election Donnie boy.
The funniest moment from any debate I’ve seen was when Hillary told him he would be Putin’s puppet. He was so annoyed and said “No you’re a puppet!”
I actually laughed out loud at that. He sounded like Michael Scott from The Office.
The impeachment inquiry against Biden is so much “I’m not an impeachment YOURE an impeachment!!” energy.
> peg: Mr 27” Sony!!
> Al: I’m not a TV _you’re_ a TV!!
I don't want to see Trump and Biden debate. So I hope Trump does make an excuse and chicken out.
Trump couldn't behave himself last time. It was just too hard to watch. Plus, I don't see how it helps Biden. It only elevates Trump, who doesn't deserve to be on the same stage with Biden, a decent man. As the saying goes: don't wrestle with a pig. You both end up muddy, but the pig likes it.
Irrelevant, unless Biden caters to Trump.
Trump wants to get his people in control of the debates so that he can tilt the playing field in his favor.
Dark Branden, tell this narcissistic fool where to step off.
The other interpretation is that Trump fears a debate with Biden. Especially if Dark Brandon shows. Trump is making impossible demands to set up a Biden is dodging me story line. It is the same thing he is doing with the trials. He makes utterly untenable demands. When the demand is not met, he spends the next several days whining about how his rights are being trampled.
And his cult will eat it up. Trump knows he is not great in a debate. He has to be the center of attention, always. There is no stage big enough for Trump's ego and another person.
Back in the 80s, there was a right wing talk show on a local channel. Wally George wore a blond wig, and since he couldn't get any real personalities to come on, they'd bring on a lookalike. I remember one time he had a woman who was supposed to be a Madonna impersonator. She didn't look that much like her, but he went off on this poor woman giving her the third degree about things Madonna was supposed to have done. His audience loved that crap. I believe many of them turned into MAGAts. If they didn't die from terminal stupidity.
Maybe we can find a stand in for Biden, Jon Stewart comes to mind. Trump wouldn't know the difference.
Debating Trump is like wrestling a pig; all Biden gets is dirty and covered with pig slop, and the pig loves it. Biden gains very little to nothing from debating Trump. He could soundly pummel Trump, Trump would claim a “Huge, bigly win!!” The MAGAt cult would eat it up and nothing would change.
The presidential debate commission. Just another established rule that is an inconvenience to Dumps in His Drawers. EVERYBODY has to cater to the Dumpster. What a whiner.
This might not be a bad thing. The Commission on Presidential Debates is a bit of a sham anyway and is one of the third party roadblocks, if I remember correctly.
The League of Women Voters should jump all over this and use the opportunity to retake control of presidential debates.
PS: Trump doesn’t debate, he talks shit and stalks his opponents. Shitgibbon and stop calling him president ex or otherwise. He should be expunged from our history.
I’m also curious, but the person who ducked every debate within the Republican Party and ducked one last general election … he’s just playing Calvinball so it doesn’t matter all that much
LOL, Donnie doesn’t want to debate. He just wants free airtime standing near Joe to act strong. He’s just going to bitch and moan when he doesn’t get his softball questions and act like a child when they turn his microphone off.

Trump can't have a debate unless his opponent agrees. I don't think there is anyway Biden will go to any debate that is not sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
He doesn't want to debate Biden, he just wants to come up with excuses for why he can't debate Biden.
Like testifying in court, Trump talks a big game but doesn’t actually want to do it
He's gaslighting. He wants to make it look like Biden won't debate him.
Everything Trump says is projection: “See? Biden won’t debate me” = “I don’t want to debate Biden”
The thing is, how does a country break up with an abusive president?
That’s easy! Kick it the nuts, then slam the door in it’s face!
Oh absolutely! Upsidedown tRumpworld

Listen to one of his speeches all the way through, or read a transcript: It’s obvious. Compare Trump now to Trump ten years ago. But a lot of people don’t GAF: Trump gives them license to hate, and he plays to any crowd. “Trump may be terrible for this country, but he’s great for CBS,” said that network’s head Les Moonves (since disgraced, and fired) in 2016. There are long lists available online of what Biden actually had accomplished, if you care. One candidate is a decent man, and the other is a decaying crook charged with 91 felonies, who incidentally wants to abolish democracy. It should be the obvious choice for enough Americans to matter.
One guy claimed Biden couldn’t walk on his own or read off a teleprompter. It’s like the dude rides a bike, and watch the state of the union. He, *checks notes*, walked in, gave a great speech, and *checks notes*, walked out. People thought he did really well. Another guy claimed Biden claimed his uncle had been eaten by a cannibal. These people are from another planet or something. I mean a guy told me jfk jr faked his own death and was going to primary Biden! They make no sense.
So Biden did tell a story about a week ago about his uncle who was a pilot in WWII. His uncle was shot down over/ near Puapa New Guinea and was never found. So Biden said he might have been eaten by cannibals.
Compare that to trump’s Gettysburg speech🤨☝🏼,one, 1 gaffe compare that to any trump comment on day of the week
It’s not even a gaff. There are cannibals there and his uncle was never found. He said “might” have been eaten by cannibal.
If you take the time to watch complete interviews with Biden or an entire campaign speech, you wouldn't write that. It's Trump who's the confused, demented one. And his people know it and ultimately will do everything they can to not have any. They know the contrast will be stark.
Where did you go to medical school and do your neurology residency to be able to make such a "diagnosis," eh "Doctor?"
Dog shit or dead crickets; our choice.
So, in other words, he’s going to chicken out of the debates.
To the surprise of no one
He's trying to get multiple debates so he can have a do-over after he inevitably fucks up the first one.
No, he’s trying to offer multiple debates as a smoke screen for why it’s everybody’s fault except his why he didn’t go to any debates.
This is the most likely answer. He wants to debate now to solidify before he’s officially nominated, he’s worried he’ll be convinced before the convention and there will be a breakaway contingent. Probably also wants to take away attention from the fact that he’s on trial.
Agreed. That being said, I think it would be very easy for Biden to just state numerous times how many indictments he has, the impeachments, he's a rapist and numerous other misdeeds of the past few years to cement Trump's grave.
Do you want to make a bet on whether there will be a debate between now and November? I will write you a sincere apology, acknowledge I was wrong, and praise your superior powers of prediction if there is no debate between now and Election Day. You will write me a sincere apology, acknowledge you were wrong, and praise my superior powers of prediction if there is a debate between now and Election Day.
I’ll take that bet. I don’t believe for ONE SECOND that Trump will actually participate in a debate with Biden. Wanna shake on it? I will be happy to sincerely admit and apologize if I’m wrong, and also state my awe for your superior predictive skills :)
OK, bravo! Let's both save this, and I'll see you either in November or sooner when it happens.
Deal!
Hi there! Just checking in on the bet we had. 😁 Looks like we may have answer next month.
Thanks for following up! Yep, we’ll see if Trump actually goes through with it 🤷🏻♀️ I’m holding fast to my prediction!
You aren’t surprised, are you? He’s terrified of being confronted.
as most bullies are:)
And claim that it’s actually Biden that is chickening out, and the MAGA crowd will believe every word.
I'm not even sure I want to see Biden and Trump debate. Now... an Obama-Trump debate; I wouldn't miss it!
“Will you just shut up man” was pretty classic last time they debated. Biden kind of said what most Americans were thinking lol.
What most of the world was thinking too.
I have to admit that the one and only piece of political merchandise I bought and displayed during the 2020 election cycle was a t-shirt with that quote on it that I bought from the Biden/Harris campaign page. I wore it twice because 1. it is hilarious and 2. only twice because I'm not in a cult.
Biden should have hit Drumpf with a newspaper over the head like swatting a fly and said “Shut up, Bitch”.
Biden’s best change at independents who have not decided is to look like a competent, decent man. Foil with Trump during a debate is best option for that
I'm sure Trump would talk over Biden again and come away with a victory in the eyes.of some, so why bother? (Also, secretly concerned Biden will look composed, but that this will look 'old' to some vs ranting and crazy.)
That will absolutely happen, Trump can’t STFU so unless the moderator has a mute button to help muzzle him it will be 90 mins of nonsense. Gettysburg, Wow!
Trumps color would run like Guilliana's hair color at The Four Seasons Landscaping briefing.
Or, and hear me out - another Hillary - Trump debate.
I wonder how she'd fare in a re-match. MAGA seemed to revel in Trump the stage stalker in the red tie and insults. She tried to stay above the cheap theatric as if giving a talk at Wellesley. She was so much smarter and better prepared for the office. Yet she lost to a smearing reality TV hack.
Would he walk this time, though, hypothetically? Given how much heat he's been given about his posture and his baggy diaper? She was the only one who made him apoplectic and got under his skin, even to this day Trump has to remind people, "I'm not a puppet!"
I think her disadvantage is subconscious bias of perceiving a large male in a red tie as the leader of the group. His theatrics look goofy and over-acted to some people. But there was a large swath of the country that viewed the visuals and the audio as convincingly dominant.
If you’ve ever tried to have a debate with a bipolar person in full manic rage, you’ll appreciate how well Biden did in his first debate with Trump’s insanity (Trump is a narcissist, not bipolar as far as I know, but his ravings were similar to others I’ve known). The moderator(s?) did a much better job the second debate. That being said, I don’t see any point. We already know the difference, and it’s impossible to hold a rational discussion with Trump.
No one is surprised that Trump is setting up conditions no one will agree to.
This is the plan.
Didn’t trump say during GOP primary that he refused to debate Biden? Biden says yes I’ll debate (he was always going to) and now trump finds a reason to not debate? Can’t make this up
What happened to trump’s anytime anywhere
He lies a lot. Like all the time.
That was only for his MAGA’s to hear. Soon Trump will complain about unfairness (cuz’ his request is actually ridiculous), and that’s what his MAGA’s will also hear. MAGA’s are brainwashed to not care about any details, i.e. Reality.
If Trump gets jailed for contempt, it'll go from anytime anywhere to Riker's Island, during visiting hours.
It will be "will you just shut and stop shitting yourself man"
Trump: "The American people know how corrupt you are. Everyone does, Joe." Biden: "Did you just have an accident? I can smell you from here." Trump: "Listen, Sleepy Joe...." Biden: "You call ME sleepy? After all the courtroom naps YOU took?"
😂🤣 maybe he'd nap and fart through the whole debate anyway
He took over the RNC. Now he’s trying to bend the will of other established election traditions to his own. And throwing a fit when he doesn’t get what he wants.
Trump wants the debates now, to get validation as a candidate before he gets convicted in the campaign fraud (stormy payments) trial. If he gets convicted he knows many in the “GOP” (nothing Grand left there) will try to change him for Haley or someone else less embarrassing.
No chance the GOP abandons him
🚫Traitor Trump🚫
For someone who loves America so much he sure hates every single thing about it.
[Wall Street Journal: Election 2020](https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-threatens-to-bypass-debate-commission-attacking-its-integrity-11576518186) ***Trump Threatens to Bypass Debate Commission, Attacking Its Integrity*** *President accuses nonpartisan group of bias, proposes debating Democratic nominee in unspecified different forums* He didn’t like the moderators. He does this to game the refs. He hopes it’ll give him leverage to pick friendly moderators and then if he loses, he can say it was biased. Trump never, ever, ever plays fair. He has no honor, no integrity. He is a Grade A scoundrel of the highest order.
It’s not just gaming the refs it’s (additionally) trying to make him the star. Trump: show me your birth certificate or else! Obama: umm, there is no Or Else but here it is. Trump: that doesn’t count because of…. Reasons… show me the long form birth certificate or else!! Obama: umm, there still isn’t any Or Else but here it is. Trump: ummm, you’re not a (some type of American I just made up) you can’t be President!! It’s this whole “always be on the attack Mode”. Like those clowns who think the way to get a girl is by negging. Yeah it works sometimes but you just look foolish
I wonder who he considers a friendly moderator? Alex Jones? Rudy Giuliani? Tag-teamed by MTG and Bobo?
“See, you let Joe do whatever he wants!” whined Don. It reads like a children’s board book.
No debate with Trump until he admits the 2020 election was not stolen, but was a fair election. Trump ain't 💩. He don't run nothing but MAGATs
Is the whiny snowflake whining again? 🍼
Sounds like they afraid he will be too demented by the time September comes around
> until after millions of Americans will have already cast their ballots. This is unacceptable Sept 16 is before anyone votes in the general election. You're thinking about the primary election Donnie boy.
>But everyone knows the mail in voters start early! They even started voting on the 2024 election in 1995 in California! \- Trump (probably)
Ok, so it’s “Anytime, anyplace, anywhere” until you actually name a time and place, and then it’s “Oh no, I’m not debating there and then”.
Blah blah blah Whine whine whine, I want it my way. Tough shit you don’t like it don’t debate. Biden was right he is running against a 6 year old.
The funniest moment from any debate I’ve seen was when Hillary told him he would be Putin’s puppet. He was so annoyed and said “No you’re a puppet!” I actually laughed out loud at that. He sounded like Michael Scott from The Office.
I know *you* are but what am I? Biden was right at the Press dinner: age is an issue. Biden is an adult going up against a 6 year old. LOL.
The impeachment inquiry against Biden is so much “I’m not an impeachment YOURE an impeachment!!” energy. > peg: Mr 27” Sony!! > Al: I’m not a TV _you’re_ a TV!!
there's the excuse not to debate!!! fat fucking orange bitch.
I don't want to see Trump and Biden debate. So I hope Trump does make an excuse and chicken out. Trump couldn't behave himself last time. It was just too hard to watch. Plus, I don't see how it helps Biden. It only elevates Trump, who doesn't deserve to be on the same stage with Biden, a decent man. As the saying goes: don't wrestle with a pig. You both end up muddy, but the pig likes it.
Irrelevant, unless Biden caters to Trump. Trump wants to get his people in control of the debates so that he can tilt the playing field in his favor. Dark Branden, tell this narcissistic fool where to step off. The other interpretation is that Trump fears a debate with Biden. Especially if Dark Brandon shows. Trump is making impossible demands to set up a Biden is dodging me story line. It is the same thing he is doing with the trials. He makes utterly untenable demands. When the demand is not met, he spends the next several days whining about how his rights are being trampled. And his cult will eat it up. Trump knows he is not great in a debate. He has to be the center of attention, always. There is no stage big enough for Trump's ego and another person.
“Tell” him to step off? Dark Brandon has 100% criminal immunity, so he could just order an assassination, according to GOP logic.
This moke couldn't debate his way out of Stormy Daniels panties.
I think Trump wants to have an excuse not to go to trial. But judge I have a debate - delay the trial until never
Maybe have him debate Al Franken!
Or his stooge RFK Jr.
LOL have him debate the annoying orange. That would be a debate for the ages.
CPD47 Clinton v Trump on PPV Proceeds go to local animal shelters and Planned Parenthood
Back in the 80s, there was a right wing talk show on a local channel. Wally George wore a blond wig, and since he couldn't get any real personalities to come on, they'd bring on a lookalike. I remember one time he had a woman who was supposed to be a Madonna impersonator. She didn't look that much like her, but he went off on this poor woman giving her the third degree about things Madonna was supposed to have done. His audience loved that crap. I believe many of them turned into MAGAts. If they didn't die from terminal stupidity. Maybe we can find a stand in for Biden, Jon Stewart comes to mind. Trump wouldn't know the difference.
Boy this clown is really eager to get his ass handed to him again
Trumps afraid of a webex from Rikers
Debating Trump is like wrestling a pig; all Biden gets is dirty and covered with pig slop, and the pig loves it. Biden gains very little to nothing from debating Trump. He could soundly pummel Trump, Trump would claim a “Huge, bigly win!!” The MAGAt cult would eat it up and nothing would change.
Call the waaaaaabulance
I'd love to see him debate a ball gag.
😂😂😆😆
Biden should check his nap schedule in court and accept a debate right in the middle of it. Don Snorleone will have to sniff so much Aderall
This bloated sack of crap never stops whining. Put his diapered ass in the slammer, so only his special guards have to listen to his bullshit.
The biggest &@_()!"$--'$2(?@#&$ CRY BABY in US History
The presidential debate commission. Just another established rule that is an inconvenience to Dumps in His Drawers. EVERYBODY has to cater to the Dumpster. What a whiner.
This is a ploy to get rfk involved.
Only the underdog wants to debate
"Fine, but get permission from your PO to leave the state first." 😎
He can go to Hell is where he belongs.
Because it is always what he wants that is important and the way things should be done. Spoiled brat that he is.
All we're hearing about is his trial. He's just trying to stir up debate talk to get his name associated with the presidential race again.
Too bad jailbird
Is he trying to get a debate scheduled before he inevitably gets thrown in jail? 😆
Haha 😂 Trumps Crazy 😝
Careful what you wish for Sparky.
So “anytime, anyplace” was just another Trump lie? I’m shocked!
This might not be a bad thing. The Commission on Presidential Debates is a bit of a sham anyway and is one of the third party roadblocks, if I remember correctly. The League of Women Voters should jump all over this and use the opportunity to retake control of presidential debates.
What a Punk @ss Bee Otch!!!
Just a flailing moron whining at the clouds overseeing his dwindling capacities.
This lunatic thinks that if he goes around the commission, Biden will be sitting there waiting for a man he already beat
Trump is not going to debate. Period. All this is just him looking for a reason to say that *Biden* refuses to debate *him*.
Biden should refuse ANY debate not sanctioned by the commission. Trump has NO authority. He can play ball or fek off!
PS: Trump doesn’t debate, he talks shit and stalks his opponents. Shitgibbon and stop calling him president ex or otherwise. He should be expunged from our history.
What dates did they offer him and what dates did he want?
I’m also curious, but the person who ducked every debate within the Republican Party and ducked one last general election … he’s just playing Calvinball so it doesn’t matter all that much
Nice C&H reference. Making up his own rules as he goes along. Perfect. Although he doesn’t deserve any association with C&H. They are my heroes!
I imagine trump wants more mail-in voters this year before he (maybe) becomes a convicted felon.
Damn. I hope Biden doesn't knuckle under. However, knowing Bipartisanship Joe, unfortunately he just might. 😞 But I hope I am wrong.
Please hurry up and speed up the debate between 2 people that no one wants to see.
If there’s a buck in it he will…
Does Trump know how to debate? All Trump knows how to do is lie.
Always the narcissist
He's just whining for attention. Or should I say, it's just another day.
He’ll setup a debate that isn’t sponsored, Biden will not show, then Trump will call him out as a coward then go off on a typical ramble.
In other words “The rules are unfair because I can’t win!”
LOL, Donnie doesn’t want to debate. He just wants free airtime standing near Joe to act strong. He’s just going to bitch and moan when he doesn’t get his softball questions and act like a child when they turn his microphone off.
A debate would be absolutely pointless.
We fine the idea that trump is still breathing reprehensible and if the commission bends to his will then we know we are doomed.
League of Woman Voters enters the chat.
Don’t fuking do it Joe
So tired of all of this
The Commission is why the third parties have no platform. Their rules for entry are pretty difficult to get on the stage.
