Biden campaign asking for two breaks during the 90 minute commercial free showdown.................

CLEVELAND -- President Trump is asking for an additional ground rule ahead of Tuesday night’s first presidential debate between himself and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Fox News has learned that the president’s re-election campaign wants the Biden campaign to allow a third party to inspect the ears of each debater for electronic devices or transmitters. The president has consented to this kind of inspection, but Biden has not, so far, sources said.

Over the last several weeks, the former vice president's campaign has also requested two breaks -- one every 30 minutes -- to break up the 90-minute commercial-free program. But that request has been denied by their Trump counterparts, Fox News is told.

Bush had something going on in his debate w Kerry. Some kind of device was attached to his back, there was a bulge under his suit coat

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Bush is no genius, and he was always taking instructions from others - like Cheney and other neocons pushing him into invading Iraq, or Rove getting him to offer mortgage subsidies to minorities with no credit (helping to inflate the housing bubble till it burst in 2008).

Nothing in the rules about having Bluetooth signal blockers... is there?

Yeah but then they'll also be blocking Chris Wallace's earpiece so he won't be able to hear the suggestions from Biden's campaign. ;-)

Trump should just move his mouth without talking, just to confuse Joe.

I just got a picture of Joe Biden coming back from the first break and going Michael Corleone on the President.

Hillary had a colostomy bag. She could handle it.

Even super heavy duty absorbent Depends cannot last 90 minutes on stage. Even in a dark suit. The smell would be noticeable. Joe walking off in squishy wet shoes would be bad for his image.

Of course Team Joe won’t agree to this, but it will put a bug in the ear, so to speak, of all the viewers tonight.

“Biden’s bladder must be smaller than his brain.“

There are persistent rumors that Joe Biden is taking the medication Namenda for dementia and the main side effect of this drug is incontinence.

Only the evil pharmaceutical industry would come up with a drug that makes you mentally aware enough to know and be pissed off that you’are shitting your pants.

I heard on the radio 30 minutes ago the that Biden’s campaign was denied the 2 breaks during the debate so Biden will probably be wearing adult diapers. Expect no camera to ever focus on Biden’s bulging behind.

“<><> insisting Biden have a chance to call a friend for help if stumped.”

LOL! Do you want to phone a friend JoeJoe? Is that your final answer? It’s all a pyramid scheme, JoeJoe. Can you find Egypt on a map, JoeJoe?

That would likely also block the official microphones and possibly screw up the lighting. A lot of modern stage gear is wirelessly controlled not just for convenience but for safety.

Even Hillary could debate for 90 minutes without a break. I can’t recall any debates with scheduled breaks.

During one of the 2016 debates (don't remember if it was with Bernie Sanders or President Trump), Hillary was noticeably late getting back to the podium from a break. The explanation she gave was that there was a line for the ladies' room backstage. Really? They're going to make her wait in line backstage in the middle of a debate? Another example of Hillary insulting everyone's intelligence, and getting away with it.

Of course he can. Anyone who’s been in office 180 years can do that.

I’d say go ahead an give Biden one break every 90 minutes.
