Trump demands drug test for Biden ahead of first debate (thehill.com)

Former President Trump said he wants President Biden to be drug-tested before their first debate.

“I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said at the Minnesota Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner Friday. “I am, no I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union, he was high as a kite.”

Trump has previously stated in a radio interview that Biden was “all jacked up” at the beginning of his State of the Union address, as well as “higher than a kite.”

Remember back in 2016 when Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate? Bernie said sure and Trump had to walk it back.

The last thing Trump and his people wants it to have to have him stand up in an uncontrolled setting.

I'll be amazed if these debates happen.

Do the debates, and reveal the results of the drug test (taken by both candidates) DURING the debate. Let's do this shit like Maury.

I hate this but honestly it's the most truly American way to handle it so I say go for it.

Can Maury reveal it as well?? I would actually watch it then!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Can Maury moderate it? Bring in some family members before they reveal the test results, maybe some videos played to tell us a bit more about them

Hold on, we don't want him getting aroused.

Perfect. And throw in a few surprise paternity tests at the same time

Donald, you’re the father.

I’m sure he has at least a dozen illegitimate kids.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The best would be if he actually wasn't Baron's father...turns out Melania had a side piece, too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Oh I meant like several dozen women come out with his illegitimate heirs, but that’d actually be pretty fuckin hilarious.

It was absolutely a smackdown. Trump is a complete moron and the media kept him in it.

And who won?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The popular vote? Hillary. The egregiously outdated and unfair electoral college vote? The bloated, corrupt rapist that is also a flailing and failing oligarch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Don't forget fellating a failing oligarch, too.

What the 2 party system delivers?

I agree.

But cute sidestep on the question.

I endorse invalidating the 2 party system by not participating in the 2 party system and forcing reform.

You aparently want round 2, Genocidal Joe vs Always was that Trump, but expect a new result. Electric boogaloo.

I also won't vote for militarized police and genocide.

So there's that too.

Well folks, I've got some news. Melkath didn't vote. There's only one course now. Electoral College? Scrapped! FPTP voting? Scrapped! Two Party System? Scrapped!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As long as at least 1 other person in the country is still voting, "not voting" will never invalidate the system. There's no quorum that has to be met. If only 7 ballots get cast in your state, then all the votes go to the guy that got 4. All you've done by refusing to participate is give the make the other voices louder.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

You get no argument from me! 100% agree. I'm as frustrated as anyone that this is the case, but it is. Maybe everyone has to have their one "reform" vote lesson. I voted for Nader once. I still get a hard time for that from some people.

And how do you plan to do that before shit turns bad?

You shouldn't just ignore elections as if they won't affect you. Unless you have a plan to fix it before the next one. So what's your plan?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's literally a choice between status quo, or the last election in America. If it's sunk, that is more a result of you then anything the entire Democrat party can do.
