And trump is taking a plastic spork (KFC Special)

and the other has the shits.

Oops! I bellied laughed so hard I farted. And my dogs did not notice. Even with their scent skills.
So all good.
And there is no way Trump is farting at least Out his bottom anus. It is so packed with spineless heads there is zero room for any gas. So when it is not spewing verbal shit, he has to release gas through his chin anus. Every time it is in the perfect shape of a gaping Anal orifice, that is a gas release.
And MAGA women are lining up to kiss that damn thing, behind Lake, Noem, MTG, and a host of Fox Ho’s. If Lindsay will move aside for a second.

I never have a battle of wits with someone who's unarmed.

Would be a battle of the wits v the witless.

Trump will regret saying ok.

if Trump will actually accept and attend any debate that doesn't somehow give him an advantage.

In a battle of facts and wit, Trump is unarmed.

He must know that CNN is going to all but get on their knees and fellate him while throwing the book at Joe.

Because Trump has never lied to anyone before, right? 🤣

Unfortunately, CNN likely will have a live audience. I oppose that decision

shithole won't be pleased, his dressed alike howdy boys won't be happy, and Mike Johnson will have to comment on shithole outside.

So the moderator can shut up Donnie Diaperpants when he is having tantrums.

Also, Biden should ask that the debate take place at 9 am...... let's see who is the sleepy one

I’d be interested to find out what sort of pharmaceuticalPreparations he’ll be making. Maybe junior can Set him up with some coke.

That won't stop his MOUTH! That's a given. I'm sure Joe will know that and be ready for it though.

Give him a good jolt whenever he talks over people or talks over his time limit.

Make it just under 1/4 amp. That will light him up, LOL.

Screaming to get a word in. It was so horrible last time.

Nothing else he could do. It reaallly sucked.

Bully says, "I'll meet you behind the school at lunch hour.", and never shows up.

Especially if he is convicted before then. My $20 is on Trump will not debate.

"Meet me after school. Fair one."

And then everyone at the school shows up but the loudmouth bully.

Did we go to the same high school?

I went to an all-girls high school... although it did happen at times, not at school, but on the bus after school (public transit ).

Mum told me they do the same thing in the UK, LOL.

at the flagpole. I witnessed many a scrap.

Oh the drama.

I think Donnie is aware, on some level, of his problem pronouncing words. At his hate rallies, he has morons in the audience who (a) don't know words, and (b) don't care. This time we are watching. And no teleprompter, no speech writer putting his responses together for him, all alone up there with a smart, well-spoken man. I think he will back out, and may even be encouraged to do so.

His word ephasia is accelerating, and I just keep wondering how long his handlers can put him in front of a camera at all.

They seem to be upset by "the rules", as usual. Such as no live audience and killing the microphone between responses.

because the lies will be coming from everywhere and fast as bullets from an AR15.

Depending on who the moderator is, and if they have a kill switch. But CNN isn't what it used to be.

moderate? Yuck

while wearing his finest orange jumpsuit

But on a serious note, any cord cutters who have Amazon Prime can stream it live through CNN's online channel. That's how I watched other debates and State of the Union and similar events.

Now I need to take enough Zofran so that I don't get nauseous at the very sight or sound of TSF.

coming from a respective partisan circus

perform exactly as that name implies, and then tell his cult members it was a perfect performance.

June? What debate in modern history was ever before September?

but after all the current year's primaries are done.

FEC primary schedule (PDF) - https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/2024pdates.pdf

There are 4 straggler states and D.C. with primaries on 6/4 (and 2 straggler territories - WI & Guam with 6/8 (D) primaries).

Before the current jockeying for being "early" with primaries, to show a past example, in 2012, you had 11 states that held primaries in August and 5 in September! Some of the decision behind that was to reduce the amount of campaigning/spending for the 2 phases of the election year (notably the Presidential years).

Why early now? Why not close to the election like they always are?

and this year, all the primaries will be done "early".

In the "past", there were fewer states using "early voting" (PA only started "no excuse absentee mail voting" in 2020), so things have "changed", and that was a concern for waiting so late because voters may have already cast their ballots BEFORE a debate happened.

The fact that the DNC had a mostly "virtual" Convention in 2020 due to COVID was a "change".
The fact that one of the 2020 debates was cancelled due to a whiny baby infected with COVID was a "change".
The fact that they are dissing the Commission on Presidential Debates means that the organization has lost any credibility to at least one candidate who happens to be a (D), and that is a "change".

The second debate IS scheduled for September, so that still hearkens back to the past.

…who’s gonna play Trump in the debate prep???

in advance, or somebody involved is a Trump hater.

he knows a beatdown is coming.

because that's exactly what they want. A dumbed-down Jerry Springer-like super ratings event.

In fact, that could be the sales pitch, the novelty. Imagine an actual, legitimate verbal exchange, guaranteed by mike switches and real-time pauses for reports from certified* instant fact checkers. Maybe someone will actually ask the best question, "why are you lying?"

* Whatever that means.

They'll hype this debate like it's the super bowl and put all the pressure on Biden to be perfect.

And most Americans probably won't watch because they don't have cable anymore.

... while handing a victory to Orange Turd.

They'll waste time on bullshit like this instead of focusing on what's really at stake: democracy vs autocracy.

straight to his disgusting orange face.

Also of sending his criminal goons to desecrate the Capitol building and injuring over a hundred LEOs while fighting like hell as he incited them.

Also of neglecting the COVID response that caused over a half-a-million preventable deaths by first dismantling President Obama's pandemic-response team followed by him knowing how deadly it was but saying he refused to take responsibility for the massacre.

Also of adding eight trillions to the debt... bragging he is the "king of debts" ...

Also of promising a infrastructure week every week that he never delivered.

Also of still refusing to release his tax returns after all these years and being under audit is not a valid reason to hide them.

Also of stealing National-Security top-secret military documents and refusing to return them back to the government...

Also... also... also... (the list of evil wrongdoings is too long to keep track) there won't be enough time in one debate!

Not because President Biden will do a bad job but because Trump is repulsive to look at and torture to listen to.

Sitting through his 2016 and 2020 debates was miserable.

The upside is Americans tuning in will be reminded just how mentally unstable and verbally abusive Trump is.

Main challenge for Biden will be to stay calm when Trump goes after his son and record as President.

I couldn't watch the 'Covid' debate because Dump just creeps me out. But I'll watch these debates if 1) there's live fact-checking and 2) if the candidates are in soundproof booths with the mics on timers... time's up, your sound is cut and no one can hear you.

and that will be in September.

Just read somewhere here in DU:
CNN on June 27
ABC on Sept. 10
Thanks again!

Hope to have local strawberries (and wine, OR Black Russian!)
