Old Sleep Don is in a lose-lose situation here. If Dementia Don changes his mind and shows up, then the smart black woman will chew him up and spit him out because he’s no match for her, not even close. If Drowsy Don doesn’t show up, Harris can emphasize in every answer what a yellow-bellied chicken he is. Harris has outclassed him. He should give up and drop out, but his narcissistic weaknesses and crazy weirdness will force him to plow deeper into lame loser territory. Everyone get out and vote BLUE!

Calling him a yellow-bellied chicken is disrespectful to chickens. He’s a spineless draft-dodging coward.

Yeah. Lots of people dodged the draft because of things like “I don’t want to go bomb brown kids with napalm in a south Asian jungle”. not “waaa my heels hurt :(” because you’re a rich fuck who hasn’t worked a day in his life.

If they manage to goad Trump into a live debate he’s going to say something worse than “bitch”.

Trump not debating is just as much his handlers terrified of what he might say out loud to a woman of colour “not respecting him” and telling him he can’t, as it is Trump being a coward.

He’s just planning to push the “Rigged Election” line. Between his obvious insistence that the votes were rigged and now his inevitable claims that “They even had the debate without me,” all of his shitty energy is going to be channeled into fabricating a casus belli for his next attempted Insurrection.

It would be very funny to see them try to J6 when there’s an actual defensive perimeter set up with no orders to fuck around and let them freely roam the capital.

I think a lot of people are forgetting about this. Part of why J6 even got off the ground is because the POTUS and various other officials were complicit. Not so this time.

“They even had the debate without me,”

Make it public and clear ahead of time when and where the debate is, and what the rules are. When he doesn’t show just ask Kamala the questions, and when it’s Trump’s turn repeat that he has chosen not to attend but if he shows up he’ll be brought on stage immediately for the rest of the debate.

Yes, he’s going to lie about it, but anyone who blindly believes his lies won’t be reached anyway.

Afterwards he’ll probably try to have his own private “debate” on Faux news, which is where the clear public information ahead of time matters. So that if Trump “invites Kamala” but tries to impose unfair rules it is easily called out.

The fuck are you on about? Where did the person you’re responding to say Trump was Asexual? Are you basing this off the word Narcissist? You do realize thats a mental diagnosis that has nothing to do with sexuality right?

Never forget that about one week ago everybody was telling us “Suck it up. Biden will be the candidate. There’s no chance he’ll drop out.” Biden bowed to the pressure because people were calling their senators about this.

It’s especially amusing that Trump is reduced to a sniveling ball of cowardice by someone the Republicans keep trying to characterize as a “DEI hire.”

They won’t do it, but it would be baller to set it up like a debate, and have the moderator prompt the empty Trump lecturn and have the camera hold on it for 5-10 seconds each time. It would effectively just be a Kamala campaign interview, but with a bit of shade casting between each question.

Everyone forgets but trump dropped out of the town hall debate with Biden in 2020. Biden actually showed up and just did the townhall by himself. He came off pretty well but godamn did he look like Jeff Dunham’s puppet Walter because they had him squinting up at a mezzanine of questioners with all the lights in his eyes.

Hey, to be fair- he’s a busy guy. He has a lot of things going on. Maybe he’s planning to sexually assault someone that day. Or defraud investors. Or defraud banks. Or defraud campaign fund contributors. Or defraud a charity. Or start an insurrection. Or try to pressure a state government to overturn an election. Or try to blackmail a foreign government into producing dirt on his political opponent, or maybe he’s cheating on his wife. Or stealing government documents. Or selling government secrets to our enemies….
