Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

I hope they are doing a ton of debate prep with her. He'll be hopped on drugs to keep him going. He may be a liar but he is also a bully and very bombastic. He doesn't have to beat her on the issues he just has to overwhelm her.

I think her time as a criminal prosecutor will come in handy.

In court there are rules even he had to obey. On Fox with a handpicked audience it would be chaos.

Good thing she refused to go, right?

Fyi, I'm not the_joeba, and my comment that such a situation "would be chaos" still applies, it's the reason she refused.

Do you remember the VP debate? She shut Pence up with "I'm speaking...!" I hope she gives Trump a haymaker like that

[–] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Women raising their voices makes Pence wet himself in fear (or possibly joy) so that's probably not a good metric.

I hope so too. I'm sure they are.

That said I honestly expect Kampala to wipe the floor with trumps toupee even on her worst day.

His last performance really showed he's a one trick pony, and his one trick isn't that good.

Even if she just ignored the moderator, and ignored trump, and just talk about his shady dealings, legal problems, and shitty record as pres.
