She’s said she’ll be at ABC on Sep 10, and looks forward to debating Trump in the time and place he previously agreed to. She’s holding his feet to the fire on this, I don’t expect there to be any agreement on any other debate until this one is over.
Explains why he was so antagonistic toward the ABC reporter at the National Association of Black Journalists. As bad as that makes him look outside of the MAGA bubble, it lets him make the pathetic argument that ABC was mean to him so he won’t go debate there. His fragile little ego is more important to him than winning the election. Good news for democracy lovers.
The biggest mistake that can be made is to consider your opponent dumb, thus underestimating them.
Assume it was a purposeful play, and counter appropriately.
He is the dumbass face of it all, but he serves his purpose for the really smart bastards in the party who know full well what they’re doing when they push his buttons, send him out to rile up his (their) base, and unleash him and them on all of us.
The core of the Republican party isn’t the blustering dumbass out front, it’s the fascism machine at the heart of Project 2025 and all the rest of it pulling his strings. Trump is a useful idiot to very smart people doing very bad things, and we should all be appropriately worried and alert.
100%
His behavior during the NABJ interview was classic Donny: a narcissist doing everything he could to deflect and avoid been held to account for his prior words/behavior.
Just happened that he let his racism shine through as he tried to worm his way out. Which shows how cognitively impaired he is.
Trump is a weird, old, coward.
The debate should take place on a news channel.
This. Fox is just an entertainment channel legally per their own admission.
Fucking exactly!
They and any other network that wants to be considered “journalism/news” should NOT be allowed to have their opinion entertainment shows on the same network/channel as their journalistic programs.
It’s absolute bullshit that they’re allowed to get away with this crap where working hours when no one is home to watch is when we have our journalists on, then primetime is when we lie with impunity on our opinion shows because It’S EnTeRtAiNmEnT NoT NeWs!
I’m really sick of the fact that Fox has had this decade long run of “The Days of our Trump’s” drama…
Between this and her openly calling him a criminal in her public statement, I can tell dis gon be gud. Oh, I’m cackling.
“It’s interesting how ‘any time, any place’ becomes ‘one specific time, one specific safe space,’" she wrote on social media platform X. “I’ll be there on Sept. 10, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there.”
She’s definitely signaling that she’s going to give him a spanking at the debate. I really hope it happens, and he gets into his defensive mode where he really scrambles.
He wants Fox? Fine.
Do a two moderator combo. One from Fox, and the other is Jon Stewart or Rachel Maddow.
And if you want to get really messy, make the audience a 50/50 recruitment spit too. And assign seating at random.
And assign seating at random.
Whoa whoa… we don’t want there to be blood!
If you wanna make it interactive, hide pool noodles under the seats and see what happens when people start antagonizing their seat neighbors.
Stewart can play both roles on his own. He will not hesitate to call EITHER side out.
Yeah, Stewart is great, Maddow is a DNC shill. If they used an old school Republican like Chris Wallace from Fox, I wouldn’t be too concerned.
