Felon does not want to face attorney general.

[-] worldwidewave@lemmy.world 52 points 3 months ago

Old man doesn’t want to face someone nearly 20 years younger than him. Who’s too old to do the job now, Don?

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 159 points 3 months ago

Of course he’s afraid to debate Kamala. She’s a prosecutor and he’s a convicted felon.

[-] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 18 points 3 months ago

Ultimately, it's his call.

This is checks calendar 2024. Candidates don't need to debate, they all have to agree to it. If Trump doesn't want to debate, then it's not going to happen unless they basically give into his demands, because ignoring debates no longer looks bad (which is insane, but here we are).

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 45 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's not that he needs to do the debate, but he did the first because it fed his ego of being a strong man. So, him having to back out of the debate without having a scapegoat will eat at his ego of a strong man. So this word salad he spews setting the stage to duck the debate is as about rationalizing it to his ego far more than any real campaign reasoning. Trump does everything for Trump, and this whole campaign is largely about getting in the White House so he can stay out of the big house (prison).

It still very much looks bad. You come across as spineless, especially if you’re not way ahead in the polls.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Oh it looks bad, just not to an insane 30% of Americans who avoid reality as much as they can

[-] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think debates don't really matter anymore because what these people say and do is reported on constantly all day every day. That wasn't how it used to be.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 60 points 3 months ago

If debates didn't matter, Biden would still be the nominee.

They should have changes, indeed. Like, before each new topic round, they should show short clips with fact checking the last debates' statements on that topic.

Many people are saying that not only is dementia donnie afraid to debate a girl, but that he's also just too old and should just drop out.

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago

Dementia Don, the racist rapist with 34 felonies is scared to death to debate her. He's just too old, he can't even complete a coherent sentence. He really should drop out before she embarrasses him and his cult of morons.

[-] ImpressiveEssay@lemmy.world 43 points 3 months ago

Literally nobody on the face of the earth, thinks that he isn't afraid.

He probably is afraid. He doesn't get a rich people handicap, though. He can't just pencil in any score like he does when he cheats at golf. As for reimbursement, L to the O to the L on that one. Maybe the GOP should "reimburse" all the people who died from COVID because they listened to Trump's dumb advice about taking aquarium cleaner to cure it.

Wasn't that the problem with the first debate? CNN made it as cushy as possible for Trump while putting Biden at a disadvantage. They didn't fact check all of Trump's lies, because why should a news channel report facts?

Run little donnie, run. You useless fuckwad.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 21 points 3 months ago

When he is asking for changes its more than claims. People don't do things for no reason and fear is the only valid reason.

President Pee-pee Pants needs his diaper changed.

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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

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. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
