A CNN spokesperson told The Post that there is “no two people better equipped”

Is CNN an English-speaking network?

I saw in the news yesterday that both candidates will be required to stand for 90 minutes - looks like that has changed, no way can Biden stand for that length of time.

Trump knows he will be debating the moderators as much as if not more than Biden - who I’m sure already has the questions in hand and has spent days rehearsing. Trump is right to ask for a drug test.

Hopefully, the rest of the scheduled debates will be more fair, Trump should demand Tucker Carlson be the next moderator.

All (the real) President Donald Trump has to do is “act Presidential” for the 90 minutes or so of this travesty.

Having accepted, now PDJT has to negotiate this minefield with great delicacy. No open confrontation on even the wildest of assertions, but a repeated request, “Could you explain the question, please?” and as they continue to spin a wilder and wilder yarn, gently reply, “You could be right.” That is one of the most disarming replies to an implacable adversary that could be made. Think of this as a conversation with Kim Jong Un or Xi Jinping, diplomatic, smiling and walking away after shaking hands. On their territory.

Trying to respond with facts is a fool’s errand, and they will simply brand whatever defense is raised as a “lie”, no matter how it is phrased. But coming across as the cool and sophisticated statesman is sure to leave the debate moderators AND Joe himself tied in knots and flustered.

And once flustered, no matter how the incident is reported, they shall not have won.

Related update...

The Dilley Meme Team has much more planned than what the Lamestream Media thinks they know.

I'd love to watch that, but I'm still banned on Twitter/X. 🥺

Trump should have been able to pick the person to ask Biden questions.

Biden (and his masters) should have been able to pick the person to ask Trump questions.

Trump will be continually interrupted by the CNN attackers who will insist that he answer their stupid questions. Trump will have to be quick on his feet to deflect their interference to score points.

I hope Trump calls Biden a liar After every question. There ya go again Joe telling lies. Make Joe’s a liar stick.

The entirety of corporate news, with the exception of a few who work for Fox, have TDS. ABC will be just as bad as CNN.

If you don’t like elections being called into question, make the election processes less susceptible to fraud.

I and others stated the reasons I thought the election was stolen before. I will repeat the reasons insomuch as the debate timeframe allows.

You can ask me to further elaborate in following two minute timeframes, if you choose to do so.

In Georgia....

In Wisconsin....

Jack Smith should read the Constitution:

Article II. Section 1.

The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States.

Yup, I was the absolute master of executive branch documents when I was President.

All prior executive branch orders and executive branch document marking regulations with respect to executive branch documents have no legal priority over the Constitution.

As someone with a nerve damaged “tricky” right foot, I don’t care if the candidates are provided a tall stool to sit on, or a podium to lean on during the so called debates.
I don’t expect two over 75 yr old men to stand at parade rest for 90 minutes straight.

That said, there will probably be drinking games occurring.Every time Joe mentions “X”, you take a small sip of tequila or green tea with lemon.
