Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- 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.
- 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. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Yup. The whole thing is playing out like a 4th. grade argument.
Yesterday he didn't want to do it. Today he will totally do it. Tomorrow he will be prevented from doing it. Next week he will already have done it while you were on holiday, yeah it happened in that town you probably never heard of.
It's literally the southpark episode when Wendy wants to fight Cartman for making fun of breast cancer. And he goes up to her in private over and over and is like "Wendy? I'm really really sorry, I won't do it again." But as soon as anyone else is around he thumps his chest and calls her a bitch.
He will book it at 4 Seasons Garden Center again. 🤣
Still my unchallenged #1 favourite event of the entire Trump trainwreck saga.
Poor old Rudy still hasn't even been paid for that nugget, and he lost his law license. The thanks a guy gets for supporting a wannabe dictator, smh.

The longer she doesn't address it, the freakier he will get!
“I want to debate her and she’ll be no different because they have the same policies,” Trump said.
Lmao, good luck asshole.
A former prosecutor and attorney general against a compulsive liar and grifter who can barely manage a coherent sentence? Yes please.
He thinks he's going to get a venue where he won't be muted and can just yell non-stop. Won't happen.
He won't agree to a debate where he can be muted. He'll claim that the rules are biased against him, and then play pigeon chess on twitter.
Yeah, exactly. CNN had the right motives behind their rules, and anyone who wants theirs to be taken seriously would do the same because Trump can't be trusted to control himself.
I share your sentiment, but I'm not even going to wish him good luck. Crash and burn motherfucker.
He and his ilk will cry foul about how elderly are treated badly by younger generation
More than he deserves.
Five bucks says he calls her Honey or Cupcake.
N word with the hard R
Nagger
Nutmegger? She's not from CT!
Behold, Nuggetonator!
"Nasty woman"
"creep" is a perfect comeback to that
Not if she does it first. Though that would just inflame

My bingo card has Harris:
Saying “I’ll lock you up”,
And simply walking over and kneeing/kicking Trump in the balls before leaving.
Afterwards, she should just claim it was an official act from Biden, she just delivered it.
I dunno. Protected speech.
Seriously, I’m pretty sure there aren’t actual words that can full express my opinion of Trump. I just don’t want to go to jail, so I keep my “mouth” shut
Just from a purely strategic standpoint, this is such a problem for his campaign runners.
His head is too big. He basically things he's the macho messiah. The optimal thing to do is not debate Harris, not to give her a platform for people to see her with eyeballs he draws, and not to give Trump an opportunity to say something... unfortunate, as he has a history of doing in regards to women. He is debading a freaking prosecutor, and she is not going to crack or fold like he thinks.
But there is a 0% chance his campaign runners would talk him into that.
Every statement by Harris, rebutting Trump: "My opponent, as a convicted felon is saying..."
Hey, that's understandable. I'd hate being called a rapist, too. My wacky solution is to not rape anyone. I'll bet the rapist Donald Trump wishes he'd thought of that. I guess they didn't teach that to his uncle at MIT.
Keep calling him weak until he caves and does it.
"I'll totally debate her as many times as she wants. Oh, I can't that day, Baron has swim lessons. I can't make that other day either because Melania is out of town. I can't make this day because I have a hate rally. I can't make this day because I have to play golf with Putin..."
Don't forget the ever present dates with his parole officer
Kamala should just invite the PO along for the ride.
Dude is going to get wrecked.
"I'll debate her so much, a lot of debating, ther will be mass debating on stage...."

“Debate”
Right? He doesn't debate, he Gish Gallops.
Handling gish gallops is easy for anyone ready to field them.
You pick the easiest thing they spat out to dismantle, explain that they're gish galloping so you'll only address the thing you chose due to time constraints.
You let them give you the meatball to knock out of the park and point out their shit rhetorical devices. Then it's obvious the next time they do it, and you do it again. Then they're naked.

Trumpman says alot of things.
Probably the first time he's given a woman multiple anything.
He'll never turn down the opportunity to spew thinly veiled lies, childish insults and propaganda on live primetime television. This time he'll actually have an opponent who will serve him his own ass though.
Ridiculous amount of bonus points if she hits one of his word salads with "I don't know what he just said. I didn't think he knows what he just said either."
Why doesn't ABC sue him? According to the article he said to multiple reporters on that call, "I’m not thrilled about ABC because [of] fake news I watched last night." Is that not slander? He is claiming that ABC News specifically is lying. They should sue his ass over this. Everyone needs to stop letting him slide on all his lies.
With slander, you have to prove the statement is false and that it caused damages.
Super easy when a news organization says a voting booth was rigged by Hugo Chavez and quit using your company. Not so easy when the guy that spouts nonsense spouts nonsense and ABC news actually reports it. Could be argued his nonsense pays the electric bill at ABC.
