Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

He already said "it's too late" lol, one and a half months is too late.

This shows that despite to what he is saying he knows very well that he badly lost the last one.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He means it's past his bedtime

[–] hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 2 months ago

Past his jailtime too.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I think he meant it's too late in the night for his old men schedule. Last debate he looked like an old man up past his bedtime

[–] Nunar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

But how can he not prepare? He won't have any new fear mongering things to say except, "trump might be president and women and minorities will die". I'm not sure that flies with women or minorities...

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

Well, Trump made his move already clear: running away like a schicken on speed.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She should town hall it if drump is a no show. Steamroll the mfer

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

cardboard cut out.

Pipe in those disgusting sounds from people who chew noisily instead of him talking.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think an empty podium would say much more.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

an empty podium wouldn't do so good of a job of disgusting everyone, though.

Short of things that can't be broadcast to families, noisily-chewing-sounds are about as disgusting as it gets.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hard disagree. Whenever there's a question to be directed to Trump, ask the question and play a clip of him from a prior speech or interview on the topic. If you cannot find a relevant clip, play this:

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That violates censorship rules.

You’re not allowed to show assholes to broad audiences!

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And it smells bad, too. Gotta keep it realistic.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Unnecessary…. No live audience…nobody has invested smellovision yet.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

He says he won, and no sane person would turn down the easy free press of another definitely overwhelming and real victory.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That squawking, and pooping sound, you hear is a terrified old orange chicken.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

With this be a Pay Per View comedy special? 😂

[–] finley@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

After the first one— kinda. Kamala would say things like facts and information while Trump tells non-stop, outrageous lies that his followers would gobble up. It would platform his craziness while giving Harris no benefit part what she got last time.

Nobody wants another debate, but it’s good PR to get Trump to back away because it makes him look like a coward.

[–] Saljid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

The chicken that won't

If Trump says that “It’s too late” she should offer to make it earlier in the day. Sundowning is a legitimate concern for the elderly.

[–] Mobiledecay@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Trump at next debate: In NY zombies are roaming the streets eating people and all Kamala cares about is giving toddlers sex changes against their will after luring them in with cotton candy!!! 🤪🤪🤪
