"I hope she agrees to them" (debates) September 4, 10 and 25 so says the con.

[rogerballard]

From his "press conference" I thought it was just the 10th? Did I miss something? He is so full of shit. If you can stomach it here is the clip, it is only 48 seconds.

[viva la]

1. She's agreed to a debate.

And she'll be there.

[TwilightZone]

2. He apparently discussed the other two with the networks.

Harris has not yet agreed, as far as we know.

[ananda]

4. I think the one on ABC will be more than enough.

...

[TwilightZone]

19. Agreed.

I think once will be more than enough to make the distinction between competence and lunacy.

[3Hotdogs]

12. I hope his supporters know the real election is on (their choice) November 10th or November 25th.

And they shouldn't use those mailbox like thingies. Democrats stand behind them with fishing poles with gum on the end of the line to take out. Republican votes.

[Think. Again.]

15. That's true, but dejoy has also made arrangements for republican mail-in ballots to be picked up...

...directly from people registered as republicans, from their homes, by a special crew of (white) postal workers, on November 12 and 13 if a republican calls their hometown post office after November 10 to schedule the pick up.

[3Hotdogs]

21. Why do they always get special treatment--

Oh. That’s right.

They’re white.

[unblock]

3. Mr. Jeeenyus negotiator made an agreement without his counterparty

[claudette]

5. Any debate

she agrees to should NOT have a live audience. In my view

[servermsh]

6. Kamala has agreed to the 10th, the original date

She has said she'll consider more, but only after that date.

[rsdsharp]

7. I think she should agree to them, but the Fox debate should be last.

If it’s first, as he wants, he’ll never do the other two.

He wants to pack the hall with cheering sycophants, take softball questions from the Fox “reporters,” and then claim he destroyed Harris, and that further debates are a waste of his time.

[Jim__]

10. Exactly! A fixed debate on FOX then he backs out of the other 2.

[TheKentuckian]

17. Why should she simply bend the knee to his stupid demands?

If he would like to negotiate additional debates then that is what the process must be not a 'Yes Massa, whatever you says, howeva you says'.

Why should she just agree to his wishes?

[rsdsharp]

22. Bend the knee? Yes Massa? Whatever you says, howeva you says?"

Three debates, so long as Fox is last, not first ,would be a good thing, and is not just giving him what he wants, the way he wants it.

You might consider losing the offensive language.

[anciano]

8. FWIW the Harris campaign has previously

addressed this and no change in their position has been forthcoming. ABC on September 10.

[Stargleamer]

9. I don't see why she would agreement to any debate without simultaneous fact checking

What good does that do?? Nonstop lies is what he would get away with. lies, lies and more lies which even after the debate won’t be challenged all that much

[JI7]

11. Isn't there a VP debate scheduled also ?

[rogerballard]

13. I have not read or heard anything so far

[spanone]

14. He doesn't debate, he lies.

[usonian]

16. I wouldn't debate except in a military base, with CIA, FBI and Secret Service on board. Why? My one conspiracy theory.

Read this.

In world first, Russian chess player poisons rival’s board with mercury

Tell me that something Joe touched in that infamous debate wasn't poisoned.
Of course, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of the matter.
"It was jet lag"

AND I'M THE EASTER BUNNY. OK?

excerpt:

Russia is no stranger to unique poisonings. State agents have been known to use everything from polonium-laced tea to the deadly nerve agent "novichok" when making assassination attempts against both defectors in the UK and internal political rivals like Alexei Navalny. But a new "first" in the long history of poisonings was opened this month in the Russian republic of Dagestan, where a 40-something chess player named Amina Abakarova attempted to poison a rival by depositing liquid mercury on and around her chess board.

Malcolm Pein, the English Chess Federation's director of international chess, told the UK's Telegraph that he had “never seen anything like this before... This is the first recorded case of somebody using a toxic substance, to my knowledge, in the history of the game of chess." Usually, he said, chess rivals confine themselves to "psychological" tactics.

Oliver Carroll, a Ukraine war correspondent for The Economist, summed up the situation with some social media snark: "I know that on the standards of Russian doping it's perhaps only a 7 out of 10. But still..."

But still .....

OK, that's my one and only conspiracy theory.
Based on some long histories:
1. Russians poisoning people, Vlad the most notorious, and
2. A long and tight affiliation of the GOP with Russian agents, Trump the most notorious.
3. Don't forget, he skipped the covid test in a previous debate, in order to infect Joe.

And have a great Thursday.
Avoid Republicans like deadly poison
Because they are

[NJCher]

25. now that...

Is interesting. I saw the video of her poisoning the chess board.

Have to think this over.

[Emile]

18. I knew once he seen himself falling in the polls he

would be eager to debate.

[GoodRaisin]

20. He's posturing to attack her for not agreeing to anything except the September 10th ABC

debate that she already agreed to. And he’s going to find out she isn’t taking his bait. Then he will start sniveling about not showing up at ABC if she doesn’t show up for the September 4 debate, which she won’t agree to. Then he will “grudingly” show up for the ABC debate when she doesn’t give him his way.

After that she shouldn’t need another debate and he will whine about that too.

[John1956PA]

26. Exactly. Even he knows that he does not have three debates left in him. n/t

[EndlessWire]

23. She wants to do the September 10th debate.

It's her thing. I don't think anything else needs to be done. He thinks he can break her and make her look incompetent, by his technique of the gish gallop. That's all he's got, his barrage of viscious lies that he vomits forth. But, nothing will come of it. His arrogance is his downfall.

Really have to wonder about the interest in debating.

[mucholderthandirt]

24. I don't think she should do any more debates, only the one previously agreed to.

Stop letting these morons dictate what we do or don't do. Fuck Trump.

If anyone Harris/Walz is listening: no more debates. The one he agreed to is enough.

[33taw]

27. No Fox debates. He wants to pick the moderators, live audience and no fact checking. Nope.

Fox is a self proclaimed entertainment channel. News channels only. No live audience.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Kamala - Let's do one....and if you don't tell any factual lies, we can plan more.

They'll end up doing 1. Trump will lie and Kamala will continuously laugh at him. She will say something like, "you are obviously not well Mr. Trump." And laugh some more. Trump will have a nervous breakdown. The End.

[Demobrat]

29. She's not going to let him set the debate schedule.

That Fox debate is just something he came up with so he could accuse her of being afraid to show up. He won’t get away with it. She’ll just laugh at him and say Sorry Bud, not playing.

[elleng]

30. FINE if she agrees to debate; of course, he has no idea HOW to debate,

or discuss anything rationally.

[Figarosmom]

31. Nah

Once is enough. Watching her calmly torch him will be a pleasure, but once is enough. I just can't stomach seeing that pig.
