And, as usual, you take a quote out of context.

"Don’t tell anybody I told you this. Especially don’t tell Joe Biden. I don’t think that there should be any debates,” Pelosi said. “I do not think that the president of the United States has comported himself in a way … that has any association with truth, evidence, data and facts.”

 

“I think that he’ll probably act in a way that is beneath the dignity of the presidency. He does that every day,” Pelosi added. “But I think he will also belittle what the debates are supposed to be about.”

Plus, Biden has agreed to debate. How is he a coward?

@Tippaporn

Looking at the quote here, do you think your partial quote was a fair reflection of pelosi's words? Or was your quote a dishonest selection?

Lie fest has now move on to blame fest. People are simply tire of this repeating lies and blames. The country is the midst of a pandemic, civil unrest, hurricane, raging wild fires, massive unemployment and economic uncertainty and expect the President to provide visions to navigate through these crisis. Yet it is the same old Trump's hate and avoidance of responsibilities type speech. 

Hate to tell ya'll this, but Biden and the Democrats presidential platform is one huge plank they says,
***  "Not Trump!" ***
Other than that they presented virtually no policy.

In fact neither side is presenting platforms based on policy.  It's all Identity Politics.
"I Love X and Y is Karl Marx!!!"
"I love Y and X is Adolf Hitler!!!!"
And the electorate are too busy hating the other side to give a rip about US domestic and foreign policy.  So whichever side wins - you'll end up with a dysfunctional dystopia that I expect will usher in a Great Depression that will make the 1930s look like a cake walk, a possible civil war, as well as ushering in World War 3. And there is nothing you can do about it friends, because it's the system you seem to want.  Enjoy!
And the billionaires will make even more billions....and laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

I'm torn.  Alfred E. Newman or John McAfee?  "Hummm"

This is utterly false. Clearly you haven't even bothered to look at what they offered. On health care, they have a plan that should cover about 97 percent of al Americans.

The Republicans took a beating on that in the 2018 midterms.

And on taxes, once again, a detailed proposal.  Among other things, for those earning over 1 million per year, capital gains would be taxes at the same rate as earned income. No more government subsidies in the form of tax breaks.

Raising the top rate back to 39.6

Imposing a 15% tax minimum on corporations with over 100 million in income. Corporations like Amazon can actually pay nothing.

There's a lot more but just cited this to who how false your assertion is.

Yet another Dem, Nancy Pelosi, opining that Biden should not debate with Trump.  “Don’t tell anybody I told you this.  Especially don’t tell Joe Biden.  But I don’t think there shouldn't be any debates.”

 

The Dems are scared to death of what might happen if Biden debates Trump.  We've had presidential debates uninterrupted starting in 1976.  This would be a first.  I don't know about anyone else but I can't say it would be for any reason other than Joe Biden is scared sh!tless.  Imagine that for a moment.  A presidential nominee afraid to debate his opponent in public.  And people would vote for this coward?

I'm sure Trump is scared to debate Biden as he can only remember 5 words in order.

What do people expect? Another Trump speech so full of lies that even the usual Trump fans on here can not even try to defend. I guess even they have their limits.

Please prove your post, the part about the militias creating unrest in dem states. Or perhaps you're selling wolf tickets.

You said -

he's the one currently in charge and the militias keep doing/following his instructions to create unrest "only" on democrats run states. He has no agenda and no class to hold a proper dialogue during the campaign, the only thing he knows how to do is to scream and insult anyone not agreeing with him

 

Now prove Trump is giving instructions for the unrest, more than folks attending a rally.

"President Trump encouraged protesters in Minnesota, Michigan and Virginia who are defying social distancing orders to rally against the states’ safety measures intended to stop the coronavirus spread.

In back-to-back tweets Friday morning, Trump wrote: “LIBERATE MINNESOTA” and then, “LIBERATE MICHIGAN” and then, “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment!...”

 

It’s unclear why Trump seems to be siding with the protesters given that the states in question have imposed restrictions that follow the recommendations laid out by Trump’s White House coronavirus task force last month that go by the name “The President’s Coronavirus Guidelines For America.”

Huh.....I am a concerned American I see trump exacerbating division in my country that’s a no no I’m the type of American who would like to see my beloved country grow towards its potential I’m the type of American that would like to see more equality and accountability so I guess neither of your narrow attempts to classify
