Trump said on his Truth Social page that he is ready for a debate with Biden "anytime, anywhere, anyplace."

    Put them both in soundproof booths and only turn on their microphones when it’s their turn to actually respond to a question.

          You got me but who wouldn’t want to see Trump take so many Amps he craps himself on live TV?

            Yeah, definitely not my kink, an absolute turn off, but still… Very compelling TV.

        You can’t broadcast the murder of two elderly people on national TV, they’d have put it on HBO or pay per view

      It has seemed like the painfully obvious solution for years to simply have both mics powered off until and unless it’s time for that candidate to speak.

      If they get 30 seconds, after 30 seconds, the timer cuts the power again.

        why would anybody tolerate that? I wouldn’t. if my mic got cut after 30 seconds, I would kick over my podium and grab the moderator’s mic.

          And that means you wouldn’t make a very good president.

          Well that’s just how political debates in non-shithole countries work.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
