    a proposal that has not yet been accepted by the Harris campaign.

    Not confirmed by the Harris campaign or Fox News at this point. Why are we reporting Trump’s garbage social media spew as factual?

    You mean the propaganda network who just couple of days ago said “if you are a man who vote for women, you have transitioned into women? IT’S SCIENCE”

    WOW, what a great venue for “debate”!

    It fucking sucks that the Democrats keep bending over backwards for this shitbag. Why does he get to pick the venue?

      He doesn’t. Harris campaign has not responded. This is just Trump’s wishful thinking.

      Edit: Headline misleads with the phrase “agrees to.” That suggests that there has been an “agreement” between the two parties. There has not. This is Trump’s “proposal.”

    “Man being assassinated drives knife into own stomach”

    I bet he can’t make himself look good even on home turf at this point.

        Fox won’t do that to him. For every overtime ramble nothing would happen. They’d shorten Harris’ response times to make up for it “for the sake of time”. And of course no fact checking and lob up easy questions for him with hard convoluted questions for her and no overtime allowed. I wouldn’t put it beyond them to interrupt her mid answer or just switch to Trump when he does one of his interruption “tactics”.

            Maybe but Fox’s whole thing has been to amplify “bad takes” and otherwise make unreasonable things sound good from the right wing while posing anything left wing and reasonable as sounding bad.

    For a cable network, which by their own admission is an “entertainment” show and no “reasonable viewer” would take them seriously…

    Why are they even allowed to host political debates?

      Same for CNN now too. John Malone is a Trump fan boy.

      Same goes for any woman of color. Right relentlessly attacked Fani Willis and slandered her all over for being in a relationship with a divorced man - at the same time nominating a convicted rapist and serial cheater to be their party leader.

      Hypocrisy is their brand. It is up to us - those who are not in a cult - to reject these attacks and not allow mainstream media to run with them. FUCK THE PROPAGANDA AND VOTE.

    The DNC desire for “debate” will never be anything but incredible to me. Why? Why, DNC?

    “Swing voters”? “Outlining of policies”? “Reasoned discussion”?

    Trump has murdered all of these things. In front of your faces. Many times!

    Just . . . Don’t.

      They still think facts and reason matter more to people than gut feelings and peer pressure.

        They don’t understand the modern GQP is very literally a cult, with the attendant cult mindset. “Debate” is just performative vitriol in their eyes.
