Sure Donny is a real foreign policy wonk.


“The Commission’s pro-Biden antics have turned the entire debate season into a fiasco and it is little wonder
why the public has lost faith in its objectivity,” he wrote.

From wiki ... "The commission is headed by Frank Fahrenkopf, a former Republican National Committee chairman,


BTW Joe Biden is an expert on foreign policy.

When the commission doesn't agree to change the debate topics Pendejo45 will do 1 of 2 things
1) Not attend the debate (Highly unlikely)
2) He'll attend and bring up Hunter Biden anyway (Highly likely)
He will try to control the narrative, even if he interrupts Biden or the moderator.
He wants to be in total control of the messaging.

Oct 2020

1) The Central Park 5 were cleared of all wrong doing, do you regret being so wrong about them and do you still wish to execute innocent black lives?

2) When you 'sent' investigators to Hawaii in your birther days, you claimed to have 'found things that no one would believe' and you have never revealed those 'things'; would you please tell the nation what EXACTLY was found?

3) You called every one of the more than 2 dozen accusers of yours for sexual harassment, assault and rape "liars", would you please explain whether or not you were simply 'grabbing them by the pussy' or did they imagine that element as well in your twisted mind?

4) You have said that you owe a very small percentage of your net worth, reported to be between $400M and $1B+, to unknown creditors. Will you right now release your taxes and financial liabilities to the nation identifying who holds your debt load?

5) You still have not condemned the actions of the group known as the "Proud Boys", will you right now make a full throated repudiation of their tactics, their message and their actions?

6) You continue to lie about being 'cured' of COVID-19 by a vaccine and continue to down play the risks to Americans without teams of 15 doctors, state of the art facilities and access to experimental genetic treatments developed from embryonic steam cells following use of aborted fetal tissue, would you care to comment on the time table for making those treatment regiments available to all Americans? and will you please detail how that benefit will be made to the American people starting with the sources for the fetal tissue and stem cells that will be necessary and have kept your worthless, bloated, painted imbecilic ass alive?
