Trump and Harris don't agree...

Biden agree immediately and Harris agreed immediately, trump ran (orangely waddled) away because he's a weird, old coward. Everyone laughed at him, laughed at jd vance fucking couches and now he crawled back desperately. Fuck you, CNN.

Is it me or is CNN just Fox news with a liberal mask now? I mean they still have some good correspondents but holy shit the amount of crap one has to swim to find actual facts on there is becoming worse and worse

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There is no mask but yes it is.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Look at who runs it now and the billionaire they are taking orders from. CNN was never the best, but yes, there was a clear turn in their approach.

Oh this gunna be guuuuuuud!

I don't think he did. He's trying to make it sound like all three dates including fox were agreed by both sides. When Harris doesn't show at fox he will withdraw from ABC.

The headline is a bit misleading. Trump agreed to the ABC debate if Harris agrees to the Fox debate.
This is just a ploy for him to either get Harris to show up on Fox, or if she doesn't debate him on Fox, spin it in such a way that Harris is somehow not wanting to debate him (Even though she never agreed to a Fox debate)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

He's such an idiot. He won't show up, and we're all going to get to call him a coward for it. I can't wait.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

And he wants the Fox debate to be first. He FULLY intends to back out after they give him the special treatment, which is why Harris won't do Fox first.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Loudly, from the roof tops, "I accept your debate at ABC" Make him decline again.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (3 children)

No, he formally accepted the ABC debate on September 10. He invited Harris to a Fox News debate on September 4 and an NBC debate on September 25. Harris declined the Fox News debate and has neither accepted nor declined the NBC debate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

He 100% intends to do the Fox debate then weasel out before facing her in a real debate, which is why he is making the ABC debate conditional on doing Fox first.

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

Looking at this article, his formal acceptance is conditional. I suspect conditional on Harris doing fox.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Confirmation from her campaign or a source on the non-ABC stuff?

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

The narrative is already being set that he agreed to the ABC debate. So, regardless of conditions, what will be remembered is that he said he would be there, and then wasn't. I don't think there's a way he could safely back out of ABC at this point, regardless of what Kamala does.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

He's already agreed to it and backed out once.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

I look forward to Kamala having a full prime time slot to herself

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

You say that as if people on either side expect him to be consistent and rational. His supporters don't care what he does as long as it upsets Democrats and Democrats already know he's a liar.

He won’t show up. I guarantee it. It’s either that or he just received fresh new compromat on Harris/Walz from his buddy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

He won’t show up. I guarantee it.

He'll claim he came down with covid 1 day before.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

POPCORN! GETCHYA FRESH POPCORN RIGHT HEEYA!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I don't see a ton of value to a Fox and NBC debate. ABC and even CNN at this point are considerably less biased.
