    I don’t know if I like RFK Jr or not, but excluding him from the debates is pretty cheesy.

    If RFK, Jr. were allowed to participate it would probably hurt rather than help his candidacy. Biden would end up being the real beneficiary by appearing as the least cognitively impaired of the three.

    Hmm, ABC and CNN? The media site I've seen Trump agree to is Fox News with Brett Baier and Martha MacCallum moderating which he announced this AM on Truth Social. He may have said something else since then, but he has been in a New York court room being screwed by a leftist state DA, conflicted judge, and a biased jury, the DA and judge bent on election interference at the direction of Dictator Biden.

    Joe Biden won't allow an audience for fear of Biden protesters interrupting the debate.

    If anyone here thinks Trump is so weak kneed to allow any moderator control over how he handles the debate, I have a solid gold watch I'm wearing that I'll make you a good deal on. There won't be any Candy Crowley moments like weak kneed Mitt Romney allowed as the debates will end on the spot.

    JMO, the 2 debates won't happen as neither will agree on the rules, but time will tell.

    I would LOVE for Biden to bring up Trump's shitting his pants rumors. Maybe tie to his in ability to stay awake.. like,

    "So Diaper Don, do you only shit your pants when you fall asleep, or do you shit them when you are awake too? Eww.. lord... did you JUST shit your pants? Damn... you stink worse then your policies."

    Trump is never doing those debates unless Biden agrees to the Fox debate.

    I think Biden should do a Fox debate but not as the last one a month before Election Day.

    If I were Biden, I would have proposed a date and time that Trump was scheduled to be in court. I'd continue to propose date/times of his court dates to drive that point home.

    Invites were only extended to candidates capable of getting 270 electoral votes. RFK, Jr. won't be on the ballot in many, many states.

    Will Trump be able to get parole for the debate? Will he have an ankle bracelet?

    In maga world the debate should be held at a Trump rally with OAN or Fox personalities as moderators. Lather up the crowd even more by staging a " trial" of Biden. Think of the ratings!

    Lol.. nicely edited collage of bits and pieces of other speeches. He will still stumble and stammer like the mental degraded man that he is.

    You know a lot about mental degradation I’m guessing. What about this guy?

    Photo of letter too large to post but here is the gist of Biden’s argument for why the years-long Presidential Commission model for debates is out of step:

    First: The Commission's schedule has debates that begin after the American people have a chance to cast their vote early, and doesn't conclude until after tens of millions of Americans will have already voted. The Commission's failure, yet again, to schedule debates that will be meaningful to all voters - not just those who cast their ballots late in the fall or on Election Day - underscores the serious limitations of its outdated approach.

    Second: The Commission's model of building huge spectacles with large audiences at great expense simply isn't necessary or conducive to good debates. The debates should be conducted for the benefit of the American voters, watching on television and at home - not as entertainment for an in-person audience with raucous or disruptive partisans and donors, who consume valuable debate time with noisy spectacles of approval or jeering. As was the case with the original televised debates in 1960, a television studio with just the candidates and moderators is a better, more cost-efficient way to proceed: focused solely on the interests of voters.

    Third: The Commission includes rules that candidates were called upon to follow, and yet it was unable or unwilling to enforce the rules in the 2020 debates. The result was far from-indeed entirely inconsistent with- the orderly and informative process the voters deserved in 2020 and should be able to expect in 2024.

    I don’t either but he has no shot of winning so I don’t find his inclusion necessary by any means. He’s a distraction.

    This is what yall said repeatedly leading up to the last debates. You were all insistent he’d be drooling on himself incapable of forming a coherent sentence. What you did was give Biden an impossibly low bar to clear and he hopscotched right over it with everyone watching. Feel free to repeat the same mistake.

    What really makes me sad is these two dipshits will be making decisions that will affect my little grand baby the rest of her life.

    They are broken record. They said the same thing leading up to the Presidential Address

    I know to whom you're referring but your description sounds more like the guy who praised the Continental Army for taking over airports, who confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi and who praised a fictitious serial killer and cannibal as if he were a real person.
