I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?
Who’s surprised he’s trying to chicken out?
BAWK BAWK BAWK!!
Brave brave Sir Donald
Keep running you fucking coward
I’m so glad they don’t have any time to replace him. Almost every right leaning person I know is so irritable and volatile lately. They know what’s coming
Republicans cannot replace Trump. He’s got the party by the balls. His daughter in law is the chair of the party.
He’s also funneling all donations to the party into his own pocket.
When Trump loses, the Republican party will implode under all the fraud. I’m all for it.
huh, so my original hopes are just taking longer than I thought. in 2016 I was saying that his term will be a waking-up moment for America, like a rock bottom.
I keep encouraging republicans that talk about RFK. “write him in! do it!”
Why did Donald Trump cross the road?
He was running away from a debate with Harris.
I think literally everyone called this one.
Like, even his biggest supporters didn’t expect him to not chicken out.
But he wants to debate on Fox. The station that was held legally liable for lying for him. The station that has to admit to being “entertainment” not news. Yeah, that’s a better choice.
I didn’t expect this meme to come up again so soon. /s
If he does drop out of the debate again, I bet they could get him to recommit by going all Biff Tannen on his ass:
“What’s the matter McTrump? Chicken?”
He’ll bristle, and say he’s no chicken and agree to debate Kamala.
In all seriousness, I was surprised agreed to debate her at all, given that he has nothing to gain. Best cash scenario, he tries the same approach he used with Biden, turning his mouth into a fire hose of lies, and Biden couldn’t keep up. With Kamala, she’d just laugh at his lies, and actually refute him with facts, he’d look just awful in comparison.
At this point I doubt he’ll actually show up to the debate.
One of the issues he has is that ABC and the Dems want real time fact checking.
The nerve! Not allowing him to just stand there and lie without being challenged!
How would real-time fact checking even work? Would the moderators actually do their job for once and call it out, or would they just do little VH1/“Pop Up Video”-style graphics where they would highlight whether they would try to correct the record on certain things being said?
Would the moderators actually do their job for once and call it out
That’s actually not the job of moderators. This idea that moderators should do fact-checking only came about in 2016 because of Trump.
The network probably should have a team of fact-checkers. But fact checking in real time isn’t easy.
I would like to have the moderators do anything at all, though, that would be nice. Like cut off a candidate who goes over time. Maybe force candidates to answer the question asked or forfeit their time.
Either would be better than what’s happening now.
Hopefully both, and there’s a Lie-O-Meter that determines how truthful a statement is as its being read, and then a counter of provably false statements made
Not like a here is a one in a billion outlier so the truth is a lie. If crime is down, but up in a small, specific area, the statement “crime is down” would be true.
It’d be nice if there was some sort of objective, quantitative “score” that could be attached to each candidate’s performance (or as objective as it can be). Something at the end of the night you could point to and be like, “Yeah, they’re a goddamn liar-mouth.” Something either candidate could point to as a “win” without resorting to just soundbites that get blasted the whole week after and people are like, “Oh snap, they said that!” Like, an actual way to tell how honest either candidate seemed during their “performance”. I’m sure Trump would lie his ass off and his base would be like, “Well of course ABC is going to say Trump lied, they’re owned by woke Disney!”, but at the very least we’d have some sort of tracking of how much they lied during a debate.
There is no objective measurement Repubs won’t ignore if it becomes an obstacle to white supremacist fascism and shoveling money into the yachts of the wealthy.
“I heard McDonalds has a new menu item now, they’re calling them Chicken McTrumplets… Bawk… bawk… bawk… bawk”
When he was clearly winning against Biden, he had nothing to gain. As he loses pace in the polling, his need to do a debate increases.
he’s trying to dodge debates like he dodged Vietnam and that bullet.
Dodging them like Tiffany’s phone calls.
Smells like his adult diapers are already full ;-)
Donald Trump is a coward. But we all knew that already.
Yep. Donald is too weak and cowardly.
Orange Chicken
Trump considers dropping out of having his dumb ass handed to him.
What a wimp
