    Old Sleep Don is in a lose-lose situation here. If Dementia Don changes his mind and shows up, then the smart black woman will chew him up and spit him out because he’s no match for her, not even close. If Drowsy Don doesn’t show up, Harris can emphasize in every answer what a yellow-bellied chicken he is. Harris has outclassed him. He should give up and drop out, but his narcissistic weaknesses and crazy weirdness will force him to plow deeper into lame loser territory. Everyone get out and vote BLUE!

      Calling him a yellow-bellied chicken is disrespectful to chickens. He’s a spineless draft-dodging coward.

      My money’s on him using the phrase “nasty woman”

      The real mystery is whether or not a candidate is gonna call another candidate a “bitch” during a live debate

        If they manage to goad Trump into a live debate he’s going to say something worse than “bitch”.

        Trump not debating is just as much his handlers terrified of what he might say out loud to a woman of colour “not respecting him” and telling him he can’t, as it is Trump being a coward.

      He’s just planning to push the “Rigged Election” line. Between his obvious insistence that the votes were rigged and now his inevitable claims that “They even had the debate without me,” all of his shitty energy is going to be channeled into fabricating a casus belli for his next attempted Insurrection.

        It would be very funny to see them try to J6 when there’s an actual defensive perimeter set up with no orders to fuck around and let them freely roam the capital.

          I think a lot of people are forgetting about this. Part of why J6 even got off the ground is because the POTUS and various other officials were complicit. Not so this time.

        “They even had the debate without me,”

        Make it public and clear ahead of time when and where the debate is, and what the rules are. When he doesn’t show just ask Kamala the questions, and when it’s Trump’s turn repeat that he has chosen not to attend but if he shows up he’ll be brought on stage immediately for the rest of the debate.

        Yes, he’s going to lie about it, but anyone who blindly believes his lies won’t be reached anyway.

        Afterwards he’ll probably try to have his own private “debate” on Faux news, which is where the clear public information ahead of time matters. So that if Trump “invites Kamala” but tries to impose unfair rules it is easily called out.

      He can’t drop out. He’s going to go to jail if he doesn’t secure the presidency.

        The fuck are you on about? Where did the person you’re responding to say Trump was Asexual? Are you basing this off the word Narcissist? You do realize thats a mental diagnosis that has nothing to do with sexuality right?

          Oh, they meant Trump has a psychosocial disability? They’re insulting a right wing politician using an ableist slur that serves to increase stigma against a vulnerable population?

            Nah man, fuck enabling Narcissists. Dealing with Narcissists is a nightmare enough without giving them an easy shield to hide behind almost TAILORED to their disability in a way that they’ll never have to learn skills to overcome their incredibly damaging and harmful behaviours

              You don’t overcome a lifelong disability. You learn to live with it and work around it. You think all people with NPD are abusers. What, you think neurodivergence is cured when a person learns mindfulness? No, even if they are 100% on top of their mental health, they still have a disability. They are still targeted by the slur you’re using.

              You need to provide a path for people with NPD to recover, by believing that someone can be healthy, happy, and safe to be around and still have the disability. Because if you don’t believe it, how do you expect them to believe it? And if they don’t believe they can get better and be treated better, how can they possibly try?

                The difference with narcissism compared to other disabilities is an uncontrolled narcissist WILL fuck up MANY peoples lives, and while it sucks that it is indeed a person with a disability, I care more for the people who cared about the narcissist that the narcissist will eventually throw under the bus than I care about a single narcissist. Narcissism is a socially dangerous disability, and coddling them will make them even more dangerous

                    Sounds like you’ve never had to deal with a Narcissist before, I really hope you dont have to, even if your B.S. might lead others into becoming the victim of one (that is unless you’re one yourself, your communication style IS giving off red flags, in which case, get professional help, your disability isnt an excuse to hurt others, and none of your victims will care that you have NPD once you’ve hurt them)

                Okay, but you don’t have to provide them a path to be President of a fucking country.

                Providing a path for people with disability to have a healthy happy life does not mean providing a path for a quadraplageic to compete in the pole vault, a pedophile to work in children’s beauty pageants, or a narcissist to be President.
