Perhaps you were more comfortable back in the day when women could be coerced into sex by men with power, with few ramifications.

 

Or black people could be openly discriminated against.

 Wokism is mainly just virtue signalling. Personally I dont like homos but there is no reason for them not to have equal rights....Draw the line at letting them teach primary school though.

That is the problem with letting everyone decide what their particular prejudices are... those that forget those few words  that go  "all men are created equal" ....except those that they don't approve of or don't meet their "high" standards....don't want your kid taught by a gay?  Then don't send them to a tax payer funded school...send them to a nice private catholic school with a priest that is especially fond of young boys.

You sound embarrassed that you are "woke". That's because the term is used in a derogatory manner to describe someone who isn't racist.

Boy isn't that obvious. Biden baited Trump and Trump just can't resist the dare and accept foolishly. Now he can't back out much to the chagrin of his handlers and advisers. 

Yeah but dollars to donuts Trump will just lie about agreeing. His cult doesn't care.

[GammaGlobulin]

Will either one remember who they are debating, once they arrive at the debating venue?

 

Whatever happened to Hillary?

 

If Biden donned a Hillary wig, then this debate just might get interesting.

Did you mean that Trump will just lie about, agreeing?

Or...

Did you mean that Trump will lie that he agreed?

 

Sometimes, I find your posts just too ambiguous for my tastes.

 

Have you ever studied formal logic?

 

I did.

I have yet to see just a single MAGA ever admit to anything.

Never will I either. So sad that part of America is so dead wrong.

Menendez, 70, has been charged with acting as a foreign agent on behalf of Egypt and assisting the government of Qatar, all while taking bribes from several New Jersey businessmen. He is being tried with Wael Hana, an Egyptian American businessman, and Fred Daibes, a New Jersey real estate developer. All three have pleaded not guilty.

The DOJ doesn't care about political parties, they go after alleged criminals.

and the winner is....

'opinion' says it all!

where are the clips of Trump falling off stages, bikes,  tripping up steps, forgetting what he was saying mid sentence, reading the teleprompter a little too much, walkig t wrong doors, relaying conversations to people that were already dead.

 

lets see video proof.... not opinions!

Must be a bad MAGA day again as this has zero to do with the debate. Hoping the cheating Demo gets hung out doesn't help you.

MAGA are ranting the fix is in. Trumps posts on his Truth his accepetance to debate on Fox News.

One of my many concerns about Trump is that he wants to essentially take away the independence of the Federal Reserve if he regains the White House.  And all Fed decisions would need to be approved by him. His ego would come before what is fiscally prudent. Prudent is not in Trump's vocabulary. Off the wall policies like this could drastically devalue the dollar and tank exchange rates for the dollar.   As an Expat I'm really concerned how that the dollar could be weakened and the exchange rate of $ to THB could go down substantially (I'm stocking up on THB just in case). Exchange rates could be a real gamble under Trump, just something to think about between now and November. But of course we all know he only employs the best people. 😄

TV Host George Stephanopoulos  was asked what the first question should be in the debate.

 

His answer:

 

"Who won the Presidential Election in 2020?"

[GammaGlobulin]

Forget the Questions,during the debate because:

 

Everybody knows that it is the guy with the BEST HAIR who always wins the debate.

 

Kennedy had better hair than Nixon, by a long shot.

 

But then, is Trump lying about his full head of hair?

Is Trump cheating by enhancing his Orange Do?

 

And, what about Biden?

Does he use Minoxidil?

 

Hair is extremely important to the American Public because.....

 

Nobody asks the HARD questions, and so the debate is about how they walk, and not how they talk.

 

It has been said that Roosevelt would not have been reelected if there was TV to see him in a wheelchair.

 

A full set of hair is seen a virility.

And, Americans love anyone who is virile, with a pair.

 

 

When is the last time you saw a bald president in the age of TV?

 

IKE was a special case, having been a conquering hero, like Nero, returning after victory.

 

 

Any Social Scientist worth his/her salt knows that physical stature, tallness, like Mendelian Beans, is more important than logic, and competence.

 

And, the physical traits of debaters are more important than their arguments, as well.

 

This debate is a JOKE before it has even begun.

 

So then, why stew about it?

 

There are PLENTY in academia who have the brain power to debate the F out of either Biden or Trump.

 

You want me to tell you who could debate the F out of Biden and Trump, combined, without breaking a sweat?

 

 

Robert McNamara....That's who.....

 

He was one Heck of a Cold Warrior, for sure.....

 

Just watch his Fog of War.

 

Lesson #8:  Be prepared to reexamine your reasoning.... (Do you think Trump does?)

 

 

 

McNamara could wipe the floor with Trump in any debate.....

 

Biden will be lucky if he can walk to the podium, and find his way home.

 

Biden is from PA, same as I.

Biden once rode the Paoli Local, same as I.

 

He's a good guy, not doubt.

 

But, he is just too old, and not as intelligent as one needs to be, these days, to hold the office he holds.

 

My Prediction:  At least one of these two ancient relics will fall over before the debate is even half through....

[GammaGlobulin]

As I see it....the MAIN problem with these American Presidential debates is this:

 

You have one NITWIT debating the other NITWIT, about unimportant issues.

 

So, if you REALLY want a good debate, then you should have some smart person debating Trump.

And, then, you should have another smart person, debating Biden.

 

I would like to see Buckley debate Biden.

I would like to see Chomsky debate Trump.

 

All four of them together, on one stage!

 

If we could only do this, then the American people would be treated to an actual debate.

 

Most Americans do not listen to real debate, just because they are too busy getting fat off corn.

Americans are Children of the Corn, in fact.

Most of American's diet derives from Corn.

And, so, after eating so much corn, then....

How could anyone THINK straight?

 

Anyway, as I say....regarding a good debate....

 

Chomsky should debate Trump.

Buckley should debate Biden.....

 

And then, some of us lesser mortals might learn what these two Goons, Biden and Trump, actually THINK about anything, assuming they have any interesting thoughts.

 

Here is what I am talking about.

I like to watch a good debate, as much as the next guy....

But, I like my debates to have debating in the debates!

 

Here is a real debate:

 

 

These days, though, it seems that the average American has had the intelligence beaten out of him.

 

Therefore, why should he even care what is, or what is not, a debate?

So, you are okay with racism, sexual harassment and intolerance of gay people?

Absolutely not, but there's a big gap between tolerance of gay people and 56 legal terms for the way I feel this morning when I woke up, and who I want to identify as. Asking me to somehow know about that nonsense and identify with it.

When Fox is described as "right wing" it follows that all that are to the left of Fox must be left wing.

Such is an example of how barking US politics is. I watched a lot of Fox while in LOS and IMO it's barely to the right of center. It was certainly more interesting than CNN with it's constant moaning about how bad Trump was.

Those who educate themselves with podcasts and looney tune sources look at all Democrats as being left-wing, communist, socialist, or somehow extremist, when in reality it's likely that 80% of the party identifies as centrist, and moderate, just like I do.

Perhaps you can explain why, if Trump is such a well known evil businessman that shafts every person he contracts, how he never seems to have a problem getting more wanting to do business with him?

Is every contractor in the US ignorant of his reputation?

IMO if someone has a bad reputation, it would behoove contractors to decline his business, or is common sense in short supply in the US?

He does have a very hard time getting contractors to do work for him, as it's very well known in that community who and what he is. It is very likely that they demand payment up front, and my guess is that the same applies to his attorneys at this stage of his sorry game. 

[GammaGlobulin]

Has anyone even considered the question:

 

IF there were a decent Presidential Debate to be held...then....

 

Would the average American be able to even UNDERSTAND what was being debated?

 

So, then, what's the point of Presidential Debating, unless it's just to show off one's hairdo?

 

 

So then, what is the point of a debate when MOST Americans cannot read past the 3rd-grade level?

 

I am not AGAINST Americans, being an American myself.

 

However, as most advertisers know......

In order to sell any product, including the Presidency, you just gotta DUMB IT DOWN enough for the dumb Americans to understand, much of anything.

 

Speaking of which, The Selling of the President 1968, is a book we all fondly recall....

 

 

 

Most ad agencies will tell you that if you write ad copy, or anything promoting a product, like Trump, then you just gotta....

Keep it DUMB, so that the American public can be emotionally motivated to eat, drink, or buy, anything, including Tricky Dick!

 

 

So then....

Just how DUMB must one be to be willing to sit through a Presidential debate?

 

Maybe, about....

 

IQ of 97, or so, which is the average IQ for Americans, even though Americans get dumber by the day, due to the corn products they love.

 

 

 

Better to just PIG OUT....rather than...to PRETEND....that....

One is watching a real debate.....
