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!

Naw. Use a cardboard cutout, and have recorded statements of his that then she can play according to a little prearranged sounding board. Play some of his greatest hits, like grab ‘em by the pussy. Play back some of his Biden debate answers and go into depth as to why they are false. Play a little montage of things he was saying about how COVID’s not that big a deal.

You can set it up a HELL of a lot better than just her giving a speech and focusing on an empty lectern. You can still have an exchange between the two of them without needing him to be there. And then, have her finish it up by saying hey Donald there was a lot of stuff I didn’t get to. We’re gonna do this again in two weeks; if you want to be here we can do a debate, and if not, no biggie, I’ll just pick up where I left off. Let us know and all the best.

Oh, and then at the very end play back him saying any time, any place, and just sort of shrug and look around confused, like you’re searching for him somewhere on the debate stage. And then say all right then, see you in two weeks I guess, maybe, and then wave to the crowd and say all of y’all have a good night.
