Former President Donald Trump continued his attacks against ABC News on Monday as he moved to shift his commitment to the next presidential debate now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee.
“ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business,” he wrote on Truth Social. “They then tried to make ‘Sleepy’ look like a great President — he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not.”
Channel 4 had ice sculptures standing in for the Conservative and UKIPBrexit Reform parties at a climate debate after both leaders declined an invitation to take part.
Loved "Tales from the Crypt." Great show. Though I rewatched them recently. Some episodes didn't hold up and some are just really bad. Especially, the last season.
The problem is that if he doesn’t show up his base will just say that he’s “rebelling against the liberal media”. Like, would you show up to a Daily Wire debate hosted by Benny S.? That’s what they do here, they tell the base that regular media is evil and then when they run away like cowards it’s seen a strong move. Everyone else already knows that he’s chickenshit so it’s no real loss to run away.
It’s all bullshit but that’s what we’re dealing with here against conservatives. They don’t live in reality and so reality almost can’t hurt them. I’m willing to bet that’s why they only notice stuff that directly affects them; they can’t ignore it when they have to face the music themselves but they can pretend and pretend and pretend when it’s “over there”.
I don't disagree. However, it always comes down to undecided voters. (Which is an uncomfortable truth for multiple reasons.) Anything that makes Trump look bad is potentially helpful with that small but vital percentage.
Smart move. Can you imagine Trump debating a literal prosecutor? Not just a prosecutor, but a highly successful one who prosecuted for-profit fraudulent colleges like the one he owned? Would be an absolute nightmare for him.
Compulsory voting works best as a deterrent to disenfranchisement. It's not great when it just becomes a rent on people in districts with deplorable voting infrastructure and registration policies.
This may or may not give you the outcome you're looking for. There are absolutely still people out there who don't pay that much attention to politics and having a bunch of people vote for a random name could be disastrous.
Why do Americans always act like other countries don’t exist?
Whenever these kinds of things get brought up Americans act like these are radical new ideas that have never been tried before so obviously we must carefully consider the potential issues in the purely theoretical.
You aren’t that special. Universal health care works. Gun control works. Mandatory voting works. All of these things have been tried in other countries and have been policy for decades or centuries in those countries.
You don’t have to speculate on what might happen based on zero information. You can use the oodles of real world data at your fingertips where these are tried and tested solutions to problems.
It could be but if a candidate is that disasterous to being voted in then I'm sure they'd have heard about that candidate too. In the long run it'd probably have people more informed before they vote since they'll have to do it.
He may be orange, but he's yeller. Yeller bellied, new york city slicker, con man, lying, no account motherfucker. Fuck him and all his people. Hope he dies scared, alone, and confused in a prison infirmary with shit in his diaper.
“John Doe 174” (a.k.a. Mr. Trump) certainly wants to avoid being asked about a young 13-year old girl named Katie Johnson, who was ordered to perform various sexual services for him on Epstein island 🏝️ on multiple occasions.
It's one thing to point out that Trump has these kinds of accusations against him, but keep that 13 year old rape victim's name out of your mouth. Why does she have to be a prop in your political game?
We knew about this exact accusation back in 2016, but people just started caring about it in the past couple months.
It speaks to you not giving a single shit about sexual assault victims, but really only caring that you have ammo against Trump. It's gross.
I really, really, really want to see campaign ads calling Trump out as a coward and chicken.
Dodge the draft.
Dodge the debate.
Like a typical cowardly bully, running away from any fights he doesn't know he can win.
Just 30 seconds of "Is Trump a yellow bellied coward? Clip of him backing out of debate. Followed by the rest of the air time of just a chicken running around clucking."
I could see a nice 30 second ad, with the first 28 seconds having some monotone dude read off all these things, and the the last two seconds it shows Trump in one of his diaper pictures and he just says “Little Bitch”.
It’s not like they’re changing the fighter of an underground boxing match the day before. Oh, wait, he is so senile, that’s exactly what he thinks is going on.
It continues to surprise me that such a winey, cowardly, inauthentic and excuse ridden blob is able to muster devotion from so many people. Racism must be a powerful drug.
You ever see a picture of his mother? And he wants to fuck his daughter... It's like he's getting high on his own supply! No wonder you think it's like a drug...
If Trump refuses to debate, could Kamala still use that airtime to give a campaign speech or something? Like ABC has that time slot blocked out for the debate already, might as well use it productively even if there's no debate
