Weirdo chickens out.

I love how “weirdo “ is sticking. Trump has been pushing awful, childish nicknames for years and no one has had an effective counter. “Weirdo“ is bringing the mean girl energy and I love it.

What an absolute pussy Trump is.

pussies are tough. Trump is a spray-tanned ballsack

Thanks for that. Now I am wondering if Trump also paints his ball sack orange.

“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out,” Tyler said. “He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The vice president will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience.”

Tyler said the Harris team would be “happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to.”

“Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th,” Tyler added.

Can we get more people like this?

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think Harris already got them all.

Firing on all cylinders over there.

Surprised he waited this long to back out, I guess maybe they thought they'd see if Kamala stumbled out of the gate (which she hasn't) before backing out. Time for everyone to call the quitting quitter a quitter who quits since he was previously opposed to quitting. Which I guess also makes him an indecisive flip flopper. Weird.

Debates should happen on news channels not entertainment channels. Ask Fox's lawyers.

I bet he's worried that his golf handicap won't impress a woman he is debating.

Elections should include a debate aired on a public broadcaster like PBS. Basic and to the point. Not partisan.

Only problem is that the Republican party objects to the existence of such a broadcaster:

DEFUNDING THROUGH THE BUDGETARY PROCESS

Cutting off the CPB is logistically easy. The solution lies in the budgetary process. In 2022, the CPB submitted to the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittees of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees its budget justification for fiscal year (FY) 2023.

Conservatives (read fascists) hate non-partisan media and do everything they can to destroy it in every nation they take power.

Pussy ass bitch

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Anywhere, anytime. But put yourself in a straightjacket and hand me the brass knuckles. What a cowardly weirdo.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why are debates held by news organizations?

Why aren't they done by some other organization not connected to the media and then the media simply invited to film it, like almost every other event out there?

[–] Plasma@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Historically they haven't. They usually are run by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 11 points 1 month ago

It used to be run by Women's Suffrage groups but they let 3rd party candidates participate which spooked the Democratic and Republican parties, who then jointly created the commission to stop that from happening.

He's probably worried about being fact checked (not that they fact checked him last time). Or being asked questions again when he tries to dodge them.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He can't live without constant ass-kisses.
