period to initially discuss a topics. They will not be muted after the initial 4 minutes on the topic. Trump doesn’t have to misbehave to be muted. Neither does Biden.

That's Trump's goal, disrupt Biden, iit might be better if his mic wasn't muted, at least people at home would hear what Biden will.

It is hard for any of us to keep our thoughts when someone is talking over us. He won't be able to shut up - mic on or off.

6. They're going to mute each one while the other is speaking

For every question. Everyone gets their two minutes, uninterrupted. They won’t mute during follow up discussion, I think.

Not that Trump won’t stop yammering anyway. We won’t be able to hear him talking over Biden, but poor Joe will have to endure it on stage. Maybe we’ll see Trump’s lips moving and arms gesticulating.

I will be muting my own set every time his 2 minutes come up.

7. The way Trump has been going lately

Nothing he will do tonight will surprise me. The man is desperate, off his rocker, and he has nothing to lose. I bet he will show his ass in a big way.

10. Isn't the muting going to be automatic, not reactive?

Like, Biden is asked a question, his 2 min timer starts, and Cheetolini's mic is switched off.

If this is a thing where a the Supervisor of the Holy Button has to lean in every time his fat mouth goes off, this is going to be a long, ugly-assed night.
