and here I was sure Team Grab-Them-By-The-Pussy doesn’t care about what’s inappropriate.
If it was any other, normal country, the debate schedule would not be based on whether someone wants to show up or not.
If a canditate doesn’t show up, the other candidate gets to talk about their campaign.
The US is bizarro world in so many aspects. Political Supreme Court appointees that are appointed for life (!), two party system, the electoral college, the absurdly long election cycles…
Political Supreme Court appointees that are appointed for life (!),
Judges are appointed for life, so they can be impartial and don’t need to worry about who won’t hire them after their term ends if they made unfavorable decisions.
the absurdly long election cycles…
4 years is absurdly long to you? Getting things done in politics takes time. How long should the cycle be in your opinion?

Brother I’m not talking about letting the new president fire them at will, I’m talking about term limits and retirement ages.
4 years is absurdly long to you?
This one is maybe on me since my word choice was possibly ambiguous, but I was referring to the campaign cycle - not the length of the term.
4 years is crazy long. That means they start campaigning as soon as they enter office.
Ok, then we agree on all points except term limits for judges. Forced retirement is fine by me, but yanking them out of office before they retire has the drawback I mentioned before.
The US supreme court judges are appointed by politicians: They are political appointees. In a lot of other countries supreme court judges are selected by a non-political committee, like every other non-political appointee.
The “political” before “Supreme Court apointees” implies a lack of impartiality.
“Election cycle” and “term of office” aren’t synonymous.
The fact that our election is held on one day and that day happens to be a Tuesday. 😡
Come on now we can’t have the poors voting now can we??
How are we supposed to keep our stranglehold on
wealththe country if we allowed the poors to have their say!?
The fact that the first lady does speeches and the presidents family is in the spotlight at all. (Rather dynastic for a democracy)
In a normal country an insurrectionist and rapist would not be a candidate, let alone in the top two. We are already well beyond rational thinking about any of this.
Trump campaign says it won’t commit to Harris debate until she’s confirmed as nominee.
Biden wasn’t confirmed as nominee…
He was presumptive though
Now it’s like if Trump actually wins a debate vs her then someone else would just win the nomination
Really no motivation for his side to do it
Is Harris not equally as presumptive as Biden was?
The presumptive hadn’t backed out after a bad debate before
Harris has enough delegates to get the nominee. She’s now the presumptive nominee.
Idk what to tell you other than read this again
Now it’s like if Trump actually wins a debate vs her then someone else would just win the nomination
Yep. Democrats could just once again bait and switch. Waste of time and energy.
Well that would make sense, except that the debate is coming after the DNC, so she will not be the presumptive nominee by the time he’s debating her.
Which is justified
Why did the Trump campaign commit to a debate with Biden despite Biden not being confirmed?
… Is it?
Hhhmmm…
This is the same reason he didn’t show up to the republican debates: he knows he can’t keep up with anyone.
This is more forced than her ascendancy
Now THIS guy IS the target audience.
How do I delete someone else’s image?

Racist Rapist Convicted Felon is scared to have a discussion with a woman POC.
What a bitch.
a felon running away from a prosecutor
Why did trump cross the road?
To get away from the prosecutor.
that works really well because he just proved he is a chicken
He reaggravated his bone spurs while fighting hard for the American people. /S
Hold the debate anyway. Have Kamala appear next to an empty chair.
Moderator: giving Trump a couple more minutes to appear.
(~5 min later)
Moderator: Trump is a no show. He forfeits by default.
Kamala (interrupts): Please call Trump’s parole officer to verify his attendance permission while we wait a few more min. He’s understandably a bit skiddish with prosecutors lately but I would like to yield some of my time to & do him this courtesy since he donated to my campaign in 2011 & 2013.
(~5 min later)
Moderator: no go, but would you like to answer the questions next to an empty chair to have your answers heard anyway?
Kamala: yes…
Funny comment, but why the tor link?
NY Times is a closed website. Paywalled or something? I could not reach it from Tor at least not with my browser. Could be a popup-blocker blocker, not sure. Anyway, the link I gave is a NY Times front-end that is openly accessible, though clearnet users might have to append a
.cabor something. There are probably NY Times FEs on clearnet but I don’t know of any ATM.(edit) actually I think that’s NY Times official onion server. Anyway, for whatever reason it has better accessibility than the clearnet version.
Cowardice.
Didn’t he just say the other day that he wanted to debate her multiple times? Don’t tell us that was a weak ass lie Donnie! (We already know it was).
Said the “grab them by the p***y” guy. Yeah, that sounds right. Sure. He’s appropriate.
Chickenshit.
Seriously, just have Kamala call him a chickenshit little weasel in a press conference. Instant ego meltdown and I’LL SEE YOU AT THE DEBATE within the day, I guarantee it.
He can’t handle that he will lose to a woman. He’s got nothing to fight her with except insults about women.
