If that’s true then ban the families. You don’t really need them there

Debate still COULD happen safely in person, if proper measures were taken. Given America wants to see the debate I think these measures are worth it


it also COULD be done virtually
cry me a river and be flexible during a fucking pandemic during which everybody got the virus in the first event

trump is afraid of the mic muting, and using virtual as an excuse.

more pandering to his "this is just a flu" bloc.

one of which, my coworker who must have said "flu" 1,000 times this year in various downplaying phrases, died yesterday of Covid. refused an ambulance because he said he was getting better and about to kick it. died several hours later.


He has a valid concern in my eyes.
In the last VP debate they allowed Harris to go WELL over her 30 seconds without saying a word, yet cut off Pence at every turn when he went over.
All about who's side the moderators on.

Last night, Dem moderator
Next VP debate the moderator is supposedly an ex-intern of Bidens.

Moderators should be impartial lol.

Trumps family wouldnt even wear masks to the first debate. They showed they don't care about safety and lost the trust of the people who run these things.

It could be done in person if Trumps side was rational and willing to follow basic safety



And if Biden wins he will shut down the country again, and then what?
We saw how well that went over the first time....
Congress cant even pull their heads out of their behinds long enough to help the country out when we are in a pandemic because they are too busy arguing over whose package is bigger (get it?).

Based on what I'm hearing Pence went over time a lot more than Harris did, so it might have been that he was doing it more so they were more likely to cut him off.

no it was a matter of a few seconds difference in speaking times:

Absolutely no doubt the Orange-Clown would try to give COVID to Biden... Can't stop winning while messing up the debate to avoid delicate questions.

looks like both Trump and Biden campaigns agreed to punting both debates back a week to do them in person. good to see

I know I'm beating a dead horse but NYT's bias is ridiculous in there
Almost everything Kamala said was false throughout the debate, from her figures to her misquotes to her anecdote about lincoln
but then the NYT's fact check singles out pence and makes claims like;

Quote
“On day one, Joe Biden is going to raise your taxes,” Pence said. This is false: Biden has proposed tax increases only on households making more than $400,000 a year.


Kamala and Biden said they'd repeal the Trump tax cuts, which cut taxes for people making under $400,000, and was disproportionately weighted towards the middle class.
When Kamala and Biden said they would only increase taxes on those above $400,000, Pence very specifically asked Kamala if they were going to only unravel 'part' of the Trump tax cuts and leave other parts intact
Kamala refused to elaborate and would not make any such guarantee, so the NYT can't claim she has.
It was also a very interesting policy point, because it echoed the debate they were having over Obamacare, where Kamala made the exact same accusation that Trump/Pence were going to repeal protections for people with pre-existing conditions by repealing the ACA
Except in THAT debate, Trump/Pence both very openly declared they would preserve that part of the ACA with functionally identical legislation and/or executive orders, and Trump already issued an executive order declaring pre-existing conditions would be protected in the event of the ACA being overturned.

because of course, that's the very next line in their 'fact check':

Quote
Pence said he and Trump had a plan to “protect pre-existing conditions for every American.” The administration has repeatedly attempted to take health insurance away from Americans, and the number of uninsured people has risen during Trump’s presidency.


Fucking hypocrites
Sheer fucking hypocrisy

it all comes to mic muting trump is having none of it. Also a president who remains so resilient in the face all the crap thrown his way its pretty amazing feat in itself.

I don't see why it should not be held in person. I am pretty sure they can make it work lol. If Joe had covid then he would be already underground such a weak demented old man.
