    They want no part of discussing the Covid epidemic substitute foreign affairs? Dirty Donald has nothing to brag about there, as he has alienated most if not all of our once solid European allies, . maybe he'll finally tell us about his relationship with Vlad the Bad??

    The commission canceled the debate, not Trump.

    Exactly.

    Stepien "claimed" it?

    If Stepien "claimed" that Biden was an Alien, would Faux run with it?

    Sounds to me like Stepien is making things up.:bored:

    Trump really knows how to pick 'em.:smh:

    Yes because he showed up to the first one diseased and lied about being tested!

    It just occurred to me that both candidates have to be tested prior to the debate.

    Since Trump is hiding from question about when he was tested, and whether he is being tested now, there might be another reason why Trump is starting to toss up these excuses.

    I think the Trumpers might have missed this.

    The Commission on Presidential Debates has adopted new rules muting the microphones of President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden to give them two minutes of uninterrupted time at the beginning of each debate segment.



    The Trump campaign is demanding that the Commission on Presidential Debates adjust the topics for the final presidential debate so that the meeting focuses on foreign policy.

    “As is the long-standing custom, and as has been promised by the Commission on Presidential Debates, we had expected that foreign policy would be the central focus of the October 22 debate. We urge you to recalibrate the topics and return to subjects which had already been confirmed,” Stepien wrote.


    Biden’s campaign, however, says that there was a prior agreement that the moderator would select the topics and that the Trump campaign is lying so that Trump could sidestep questions about his administration’s “disastrous” response to the coronavirus pandemic.

    I can't blame him, but I think he will ask Biden to justify letting Hunter sell access and exactly how much of the money did Joe himself take.

    I don't know if it's been posted yet, but even Fox wouldn't break the story.

    Fox News passed on chance to break Hunter Biden laptop story over credibility concerns: Report

    The outlet chose not to run with the story, which was brought to them by President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, citing concerns over the veracity of the contents of the data, according to Mediaite.

    Previously, Fox News privately warned the network about the former New York City mayor, among other frequent guests on the network, about their propensity for “spreading disinformation," specifically as it relates to Ukraine, according to the Daily Beast.

    The New York Post covered some of the contents on the hard drive last week. At least two reporters refused to have their byline attached, and one of the two reporters whose name does appear didn't know about it until after the first story was published, according to the New York Times
    .

    Trump lied his way through the first debate. Biden is prepared for this.

    Voters aren't dumb. They remember 2016. It's really easy to dismiss Russian disinformation.

    The DNI already quashed that plus Biden campaign does not deny them

    https://www.redstate.com/sister-tol...on-about-authenticity-of-hunter-biden-emails/

    Can anyone say that these emails are inauthentic? And so far, I haven’t heard anybody say that,” Vittert said.

    Shockingly, Arnold then admitted, “I think that’s fair. I don’t think anybody is saying they are inauthentic.”

    He won’t say if he was tested, even though he claimed that night he was. He can’t be trusted.

    Trump knows nothing about foreign policy. This is a lame attempt to bring the focus to Hunter Biden, which Trump is going to do anyway. So why legitimize it by changing the topics. I read they're cutting off the mics. If true, that puts Trump at a disadvantage.

    Nobody believes that. But be my guest. Run with it. When will the Clinton emails result in anything? Anything at all.

    Voters aren't stupid. Neither is Rudy, but he thinks voters are stupid. After Biden wins I wonder what happens to the ex- America's mayor? Lock-up? Fugitive?

    Absolutely no point is going on with this last debate. Nobody will learn anything except how much lower Trump can sink than he already has. But we have learned that lesson over and over and over and over and over and over again over the last 4 years.

    Do not believe he can't go lower. Never believe you have seen Donnie Dark's slimiest nastiest most desperate limits.

    He can kill his fans, but that's where we draw the line.

    You think covid-19 will be around for another four years? Foreign relations will.

    Biden has extensive foreign relations experience. Trump has written letters. To Kim and Erdogan. Trump knows nothing about foreign relations.

    It's not about foreign relations. It's about Hunter Biden. How man times can you say Hunter Biden in two minutes? That's what we're gonna hear Thursday from Trump. I may end up using my own mute button.

    about time, if trump followed the rules he agreed too, he would never even notice

    but we all know Trump thinks the rules only apply to other people, not himself

    That's a half "truth" and you know it.
