Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Is Donald Trump really trying to get out of debating Kamala Harris again? Or is it the opposite?

On Thursday, it seemed like the dust had finally settled. “The debate about debates is over,” said Michael Tyler, the Harris campaign communications director, in a statement. “Donald Trump’s campaign accepted our proposal for three debates—two presidential and a vice presidential debate.”

“Assuming Donald Trump actually shows up on September 10 to debate Vice President Harris, then Governor Walz will see JD Vance on October 1 and the American people will have another opportunity to see the vice president and Donald Trump on the debate stage in October,” the Harris campaign continued.

But now, Trump’s team claims that the Democrat lied when she said the two sides reached a debate agreement. At the moment, there is only one confirmed debate between the presidential nominees, to be held September 10 by ABC News.

Nevertheless, the Trump campaign’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Caller Friday that Trump will be doing three debates and Vance will be doing two.

Actually, it's worse for Harris. Debating against someone with marshmallows in the mouth is a nightmare.

I hear he is feeling more targeted these days ;)

I 'ear the same thing!

I'm pissed that we're trapped with Trump for three fucking election cycles.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I've been trapped with Trump since the fucking '80s. For young people today, it would be the equivalent of 40 years of Logan Paul, with him being President at the end of it.

Three so far!

Hopefully they come out with an anti aging vaccine and that mother fucker refuses to take it and we don't have to see him ever again. Who am I kidding, he would be the first in line.

My fear is that Trump actually died during COVID and what we've been watching since is an AI-driven hologram. We'd be getting this shit for eternity if so.

He needs a better doctor.

One who knows that an "anti aging vaccine" doesn't go through the earlobe.

It's like one of those shits where you keep wiping and it just doesn't go away

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It’s like I’m wiping a marker

three debates—two presidential and a vice presidential debate.

Trump will be doing three debates and Vance will be doing two.

One of the VP debates is between Vance and Trump

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know there was more than one agreed-upon debate. Fox is kind of a non-starter, but I only knew about one other, and I've been trying to keep up!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I don't know if it would be better for Kamala to randomly show up to the Fox debate and catch them unprepared to attack her while maintaining the facade of legitimacy, because they were just expecting to let Trump ramble for an hour; or if it would be better to let people see the weird old man go on about nonsense for an hour, and possibly have Fox forced to cut away when he starts lying about 2020 again.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

motherfucker YOU WANTED THESE DEBATES IN THE FIRST PLACE

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Against Biden, sure. Trump's scared of seeming less intelligent than a black woman on a public stage. He'll find excuses to never debate Harris.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Ah, gaslighting himself now. Gotta love it
