Way past his bed time.
It's getting well past prison time if you ask me.
Fuck that, past my bedtime too.
No country for old men
Too late because Joe Biden isn't the opponent anymore

I know he has tiny hands, but I'm pretty sure he has a full number of fingers on both of them lol
I really want somebody to do some audio overs of things Trump is saying lately with a baby wailing and crying.
Waaah. Waaah. It's too laaaate. Waaah.
Be the change you want to see in the world
I'm unfortunately terrible @ audio-over work. I know from successive failures and attempts using various tools over the years.
There's actually a Tiktok trend where girls say Trump is very teen girl coded - it's on this sound and a few others, literally hundreds of videos: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFMamHFo/

Trump is America’s biggest drama queen.
"Hold my anti-woke beer"
In Radiohead speak… you are the chosen one.
“Any time; any where…
…but not too late I’m an old man”
He’ll accept. We all saw this during the most recent debate. Just keep saying he’s scared to get under his skin and he’ll foam at the mouth and lash out.
Doubtful. He's a lil bitch and she made him look dumb as fuck. Actually he made himself look dumb as fuck.

Brave brave sir Donald.
Didn't the sore loser agree to three debates initially?
What happened?
He's surrounded by toadies who told him he'd win the first one, and he lost.
If it’s too late, I guess he can stop campaigning then.
What a weak bitch.
No balls
If he capitulates against a smart American woman, how will he fare against putin, xi and Kim?
You mean his heros?
He won't even try. He'll get his instructions straight from Moscow.

A-coodle-doodle-doo!
OT: in ten days Jimmy Carter will be 100 years old
BTW, Happy 21st day of September https://youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?feature=shared
To go against the grain here, to me this is his final signal that voters have made their mind up and that he will take his chances on this toss-up of an election. He will pull all his dirty tricks and contest the results, perhaps violently, if he loses. I don't think he'll agree to a 2nd debate but Democrats should cajole him all they can to try to force another.

Yes, it is time for grandpa Donald to go to bed
I mean, Donald Trump's a chicken and everything but he's right. All that a second debate would do is have Harris wipe the floor with him. And that would be fun to watch but I wouldn't be watching the debate to see which nuanced point each candidate is bringing to the table and to make up my mind on whose foreign policy positions are better so I can finally decide who to vote for.

What the fuck?

Most voters who fall into the undecided category 90 days before the election will not make a final choice until within 72 hours of casting their vote.

Honestly, it’s the first rational decision he made in a long while.
That said, if he can’t keep it cool in a debate… do we really want him in charge of the nukes? Or doing diplomacy…
Well if its just a matter of looking cooler then the other candidate yeah but i think even voters who've decided on their candidate would like another debate, a new chance to speak on different topics than the first. I for one would like a debate centered on domestic policy

You’re out of your element, Donnie
Trump mentions it's too late because people are starting to vote already. I think it's a bs excuse
He’s a coward. Did anyone expect he actually would show?
Pustulent nutsack is super scared of losing again.
It sure is too late: too late at night. He'll be nodding off at that hour if he doesn't snort lines of Adderall. He is old and suffering from dementia.
Too late to drink enough to get the courage to participate and get sober in time for the election...
I think October 23rd would be an ideal date to organize anyone with a non-disclosure agreement with Trump to break that agreement en masse and share all the details of what he doesn’t want the public to know.
It’s be great fodder for the news cycle leading up to Election Day and I doubt Trump has the resources to legally pursue so many people for NDA breaches at the same time.
Why is Tim Ryan our go-to for an opinion on this? What a pull.
